    Correct. They only buff the owner. But they are excellent aggro magnets.

    Isolate Farming?

This is not a hate towards farming (well just a little), I just want to be in a zone with good players who play the game for fun.
    Wait. A sewer team isn't a farm? Or we want new players not to learn farming but to learn sewer teams? I don't get it.
  3. I'd rather see it with a different actor in Ford's role than Mutt.

    I could do 112 merits in 4 hours but I'd pull my hair out in bored frustration from repeating the same thing over and over. Usually I get to about 1 hour of it before I bail and do something else.

    No doubt. I just did a mission last night where Longbow was going to murder a criminal so I had to save him. (Hero Morality mission with Doc Quantum)
  6. I haven't seen it yet. I want to see it. Now you guys make me want to see it even more.
  7. I find the most painful thing is getting interrupted while trying to switch to dwarf form.

    Slot starvation is not fun but it does force a more deliberate planning of the build. I'd be concerned with what we would be giving up to get more slots.

    Given that it takes a MINIMUM of 22 missions to get back to your original alignment . . .
    XP can be turned off at any time.

    If you are a loyalist you can walk up to the resistance contacts who are outside (check paragonwiki) and work for them.

    If you are resistance you can walk up to loyalist contacts and work for them. Note there are some who will demand introductions but my resistance character just went to Washington on his own and got his missions. When I was done he sent me to Cleopatra.
  10. I've been looking forward to seeing this movie for a while.

    I'd buy that booster pack!

    - obviously a non-biological machine? (example: rip off a robot's arms vs ripping off a human being's arms)

    - biological, but nonhuman in appearance? (example: it looks like a giant mosquito vs looking like a green-skinned supermodel)

    - so alien you can't identify what would be vital or not? (example: you can't tell whether you'd do the equivalent of a gut-punch or a larynx-crushing throat smash)
    Partially it depends on what is going on but all things being equal:

    - trash a machine not a person unless no other way to stop the person (see Doomsday)

    - not sure about biological but non-human. It is possible I would decide to squish it but I'd prefer to contain it.

    - alien I'd also try to contain or subdue first but if that wasn't working I'd start figuring out how to hurt it fast

Level 20... there's a LOT of sludge in the L20 rolls, and unlike L50 sludge I'm pretty sure there is NO demand for it. The good stuff is good, though.

    I like to see people rolling at a variety of levels, though.
    The only things I want at level 40 cap out there (Impervium Armor set for example) so I agree with your levels and I from 36-49 I save up for rolling at 50.

    I did that with one character. I was sad when it was over and I had to leave. And I don't recall which side I was really on. Oh never mind. I was on my side.

    An Alien Origin

    Besides, apart from the origin power and which enhancements we can use what difference does our origin even make in the game?
  18. I find it far quicker/easier to earn an A-merit for my random 5 recipes than to earn enough tickets in AE to get the same number or rare recipes or 100 R-merits to roll with those.

    Of course my rolls have been junk so far.

    I think the key is to hope they happen at the same time and confuse the robots into thinking the zombies are their targets while we hide.
  20. The robots want to understand pain so they can inflict it.

    I wonder if part of that would involve shaving the heads of bad people or having them grow flowing locks?

    I am pretty sure I arrived at that conclusion about 2 seconds after I got onto the GR beta boards.
  24. I'm going to go way out on a limb and guess he will be a never before in Batman lore villain made up just for the movie.

    I agree.
    I hated the villain market because apart from the best stuff and the incredibly common stuff everything else sold/bought at glacial speeds due to the lower population accessing it.


    I don't want to wait 6 months for something to sell.
