The other character: total [censored] move by Whedon!

My best friend saw an advanced screening of the movie and told me that 2 characters died. I said, does the ship count as a character? He then said, in that case, 3 characters die.

I learned the hard way from doing MA custom mobs that Footstomp (in particular) is a definite "no-no" on missions designed for anyone under level 20, and still pretty obnoxious at higher levels.

I will say this though, having the choice between excessive KB/KD as opposed to excessive -Def, I would choose KB every time. I can IO away that weakness.

That's really what bugged me about this, to be honest. I know the Loyalists are trying to be the good guys, but I still feel it would have been a bit more... Pleasant, I suppose, if it were a choice between two "right" options rather than between two "wrong" ones. But then, I suppose that's the harsh reality of Praetoria.

And, yes, I know I could have avoided the moral choice and just gone to speak with Kang without introduction, but that feels like avoiding responsibility. I want to involve my characters into Praetoria as much as I can in terms of decisions and morality, and that means sticking with it even when the going is not pleasant. In a way, I can't say this is a bad situation from a writer's standpoint, because it really serves as a wake-up call for all the puppy-eyed loyalists. This isn't an easy struggle, and sometimes, hard decisions have to be made. And this one had to be, simply because Washington decided to be a dick about it.

But I guess what bugs me the most is that this is the complete opposite of what I had my character do with Pell. With him, I chose mercy (as opposed to murder) because my character is out to protect the people of Praetoria, not avenge them. The point is to stop the killing, not to perpetuate it. Bad thing is, in the Cleo case, it was unavoidable because it was either her or Washington. SOMEONE would die, which is unfortunate.

The Warden moral choices are rather easier, in that at least it doesn't feel like there could have been a third option. Either you free the Seers or you don't. Either you let the Destroyer go or you don't. Here... The morality felt a bit forced, but I guess it is what it is.

I'm probably going to go with "You don't have innocent people murdered and be surprised with the consequences." And, I just realised that Cleo wasn't exactly up to taking responsibility for her actions. She wasn't all "There was no other way." but rather "I didn't do it! I helped you! *puppy dog eyes*" Gave me a serious case of not-falling-for-that-again-itis, though it didn't make things any easier.

Don't get me wrong, I would indeed like the Defeat X to go away. They are just tedious, and outright maddening when a Rikti Raid chases the particular group out of zone(Happened to me during a Numina's tf. Needed just 2 more Warriors in Talos when the Rikti came; no Warriors for 30 minutes! Stopped us dead)

Now, the fact they've been on 2 or more dots for a week is great, but I'm a pessimist and am SURE it'll stop soon enough.

Not trying to scream doom or anything (honestly). Just spreading what I see as the truth.

I suspect that one side effect of the various merits, tickets and other and other non-liquid assets is to reduce supply. The reason is that a lot of players simply can't be bothered to mess around with them and so just ignore them. It's much easier to list the odd purple than to random roll merits!

Of course, without any hard data on what happens to recipes, merits etc it's hard to know for sure. (For one thing, I'd love to know how much of the stuff in the market comes from farmers.)

The devs seem to think that transferable wealth is a "bad thing" but all these alternative systems are make the game more complicated without adding much benefit. That seems like a poor trade off for a game that's aimed at casual players.

but once again that is just a suspension moment that we aren't supposed to worry about. the spatial relation stuff is clearly a pet peeve due to your job so its going to bother you no matter what kind of movie it is in.

thanks for the civil and fun debate.

I enjoy that, in City of Heroes, I can hit level 50 and feel like I'm DONE. That doesn't mean I'll never play the character again, but it means my character is now complete and I can finally use all that power that I've been accumulating over the character's life span without feeling like I could be adding something more.

In some way, the Incarnate system will ruin this completely, but in another way, that too has an end at some point.
