I always assumed she didn't do it deliberately though I am not sure which way is worse.

Or to use one example: Doomsday

He cannot be contained by normal means so it is either kill him or imprison him outside the law.

Monsters like that ought to be viewed as comparable to a meteor/asteroid on the way to destroy the earth.

I think you and I agree.

Re. Serenity villain - I took that as he expected at some point to meet the fate he was dealing out to others.

Re. Dark Knight - Bruce wants Gotham to not need Batman.

For me it would depend on the super powers as to how much you could expect to accomplish but the greater the power the greater the likelihood of turning into a jerk because you are not accountable to anyone but yourself. *you in general, not in Marcian

But they had announced side switching and for months that side switching would mean losing our inf and it was in that context people said merger would be a problem.

If the only reason they didn't do it was difficulty in coding that shows a pretty sad understanding of the way things work.

Prior to the announcement of merging inf and markets I was not going to roll up more than one or two praetorians and all but one of my villains on each server was going to leave for blue side. And I was hardly the only person saying so.

To me that screams that the issue was not technical as much as it was a complete failure to understand the players.

But not every character can do that at level 3.

Are you looking forward to inherent fitness with I19? I know I am because not sucking wind as much in the first 20 levels and quicker movement from swift is going to be great.

Inventions go a long way toward helping but I do have to ask about the travel power at level 14 issue.

Do you get your raptor pack at level 5/6 from the safeguard/mayhem mission and then the zero-g pack at 10/11 from the next safeguard/mayhem mission? Sure it's not the same as your own travel power but they do the job of getting you from place to place.

Once I am in the mid-upper 30s most of my characters feel awfully super and take on packs of enemies with varying degrees of effort but I do plan their builds and get the IOs I need to get the job done.

Even with SOs and common IOs they can mow down some fairly tough enemies.

There's a problem for your rolling right there.

There are certain levels where some recipes/enhancements sell for much more than the other levels. Some prime examples are 32, 33, 35, and 38. So when you are level 39 or 41 and so on and you roll your rolls are already diluted in value even if it is one of the most desired IOs.

I don't like to sit on items so I only roll at 25, 30, and 35 and I save my tickets, r-merits and a-merits until I am at those levels or until I am 50. This is just something I do to limit the risk of my rolls.

I think your definitions of crime and criminal are more narrow than they actually are.

Murderers are criminals and murder is a crime. Mass murderers are criminals and mass murder is a crime.

While some posters may be invoking a death penalty for parking tickets I expect most people were considering lethal force for horrible crimes not petty ones.

Ah but once you were the newbie hero learning the ropes.

True. This is one of those things where you wish you could see what would have happened if the switch hadn't happened. Like would the movie have flopped, would there have been other fallout from Fox not being in it and from Stolz being in it if it were a hit and so on.

On my lowbies I am skipping Fitness pool since they wouldn't have Stamina till 20 anyway and all of my lowbies are in Praetoria and I didn't want to have them leave yet. Without the inherent Fitness coming I would be taking Swift and Health.

Then I am also playing a lot of my 30s and 40s who already have it and are going to respec it out once I19 hits.

The point of a tutorial is to teach people how the game will be played. In Praetoria you cannot team on the Resistance/Loyalist choice missions. The tutorial teaches that.

Personally I would prefer separate tutorials for Resistance and Loyalist and choose those at creation but there's nothing inherently wrong with the method in place.

I know. I was referring to it because I liked your response then so much.

Yes! To avoid teaming with filthy mutants.

And who put the ram in the rama lama ding dong?

You cannot see #6. You can access it through / commands.

Soldiers of Arachnos
An Arachnos Soldier's or Arachnos Widow's original costume slot is forced to include unique, AT-specific accessories that give it a distinct appearance. To balance this, these Villain Epic Archetypes have one additional way to earn an extra costume slot, starting at level 10, by running missions for Brick Johnson in Port Oakes. AT-specific accessories cannot be added to any costume except the first slot. For this reason, the first newly-gained costume slot begins as a plain set of tights for these ATs, with only details like color scheme and facial features copied from the first slot. After this costume is modified, it becomes the default for all further alternate costumes.

Soldiers of Arachnos can use both this extra slot and the Halloween Salvage slot to achieve six costumes total, but this is not fully supported. The sixth slot does not appear in the costume selection window, therefore it can only be switched to by using /cc 5, described below. The sixth slot is a copy of the first non-Arachnos costume slot when the sixth slot was opened and cannot be edited at the Tailor. The first non-Arachnos costume slot can then be edited at the Tailor, allowing the character to have six unique costume options, as the sixth slot will not change to match.
