That's actually where I got this question. I have that book. Just wanted to see everyone's reactions.

Joining the "No" chorus. Whoever is in charge of keeping him locked up in Arkham bears some responsibility though. But the comic would be dull if Bruce invested in a system there to actually prevent the Joker (or fill in other enemy) from escaping ever again.

Ahhhh I miss real action stars and not pretty boys trying to be one.
Man Night for me and my friends Saturday. We are going to see this movie then after wards Steak and Beer. -
Quote:I wouldn't mind losing my unique names if the benefit was the ability to play without the current 11 servers' setup. I would mind if it was because they merged servers to satisfy people who won't take advantage of server transfers to get off the low pop servers.Originally Posted by EvilGeko
The unique name thing is almost a red herring compared to the real benefit of an unified game. I've always been intrigued by the idea of a single shard game. I don't know how the heck they would do it here though.
I don't think the name thing would be as big a deal as figuring out what to do with folks who have 234 alts or whatever.
For my money, a cross-server TFs or ten would be just as good.
I suppose they could always laugh at us (with hundreds of alts) like Nelson on the Simpsons and tell us to purge our rolls down to 100 or so. -
Quote:Posi's blog has been on the name issue but it would seem to me that with the current game setup non-unique names by server would require an awful lot of changes only providing a benefit to people who want names other people already have.Originally Posted by EvilGeko
You don't know how many times and on how many issues people have stated something to this effect just to see the devs come around to my view.
Personally, I don't care one way or another, but you folks get so up in arms, it's highly entertaining arguing with you.
EDIT: I would suggest to anyone arguing any point on the boards, do not use the devs' CURRENT view as a point in your favor. They can and do change their minds quite often. The market merger being one of the most current and spectacular recent examples.
So if I were in charge I'd be weighing the effort plus alienation of those who want unique names against people who don't want unique names.
So people need to ask themselves if they think there are enough people who want unique names to go away to offset the people who want to keep unique names and offset the amount of effort it would take to make that change after over 6 years of the game being live. -

Really? It's likely that Paragon Studios is working on something outside of Paragon City?

I'd love them forever if they'd bring back Shane and do the Deadlands MMO that died.

Quote:I think if we go back to the beginning, the original Reward Merits were a bone to the market haters. I view the alignment merits as another step in that direction offering them more ways to skip the market.Originally Posted by Neuronia
Yes he is and I'm curious to know the reasoning for adding another, relatively less time-consuming way to obtain Pool C and D recipes, tacked with a relatively more time-consuming way of obtaining purples and so on.
Essentially, did their datamining show that not enough random recipe rolls were being generated or did it show an abundance of certain items in builds, such as procs, LOTG 7.5s and so on as well as a paucity of certain level ranges being available for market plans. It's likely they added these as a carrot for reward-oriented players to keep them interested in the new content, though I would love to be privy at reward datamining as pertains to random rolls, Merit purchases and even Merit accumulation...
I sincerely doubt datamining played any part in the decision. I think it was "people will be doing the tips and alignments instead of reward merit earning things so what can we do to level it out for them and to reward heroes/villains for passing on the ability to travel the other side's zones?" -

Merging markets + new merit system + lots more inf destruction + big influx of new/returning players + lots of lowbies being rolled = chaos.

Wow, that's incredibly generous Organica.
I hope you get a taker. I spent most of a year purpling my warshade and he is completely insane now. -
Quote:Because that is how you interpret it that is why you don't get it.Originally Posted by Akiru_NA
There's a difference between light and borderline empty. I'm also curious why anyone would dislike seeing other people while playing.
People can transfer to another server if they don't like the one they are on.
I'm curious why people would want to lose the option of the other servers. See it works both ways. -
Quote:Take away my servers for your red side healer? Um, no don't take away my servers devs. mmkthnxOriginally Posted by MidKnight
Ok, I've played this game since beta. I like this game, no complaints, but I am starting to have a really hard time finding teams on my server. I like red side, so there are even FEWER people. I literally see the same 7 people every day, and if those teams fill up I am out of luck. I generally play healers, so this is critical to my survival and enjoyment of the game.
I just wondered if there was any data about the amount of heroes and villains per server so I can where to go for this transfer I get on the 17th. Would love ANY help to make sure I don't spend the next 5 months crying, party-less under Recluse.
Also suggestion for devs-- I know it's complicated, I know you guys know what you're doing, but maybe if you take away three or four servers teams would be easier to find.

Quote:That's valid but it is optional. You could just keep and use the 50 reward merits if you (not you, Fulmens but the generic 'you') were tight with the 20M inf.Originally Posted by Fulmens
My understanding, which may easily be wrong, is that the first mission gives you 50 regular merits, which you could turn into one AM by spending 20 million inf.
So I think of it as one AM and -20 million inf .
As for me that means you will see me destroy around 2 billion if I am doing the math right (100 characters x 20M). -
All I can think of with Praetor Berry is his cousins Chuck and Marvin.

Just 13 more days till I start watching Season 6...

I was okay with Trinity but I think that was because:
Reynolds was funny.
I think what's her name is cute (actress who played Whistler's daughter)
I thought her bow was very cool. -
Quote:I must have misread what someone posted about it. I got into beta after that so I thought they were talking about something new. Whew. Glad to see that I was wrong.Originally Posted by Caulderone
As noted in 2 prior posts, there is no 30 minute timer. It was removed in a Beta patch on 6/16.

<QR>
I just discovered there is a timer on tips which I had never encountered in my testing.
Apparently 1 tip mission per 30 real time minutes so the fastest way will be to have a character do 1, then logout to another, then another and if you were fast enough yet another. Then return to character 1 and rinse, wash, repeat until you have finished all 5 for each character.
So they have made it a bit more annoying to do than logging in a character, running the 5, logging in the next character, running the 5, etc. -
Jack would post his vision for us when we lost his way.

As to the changes, I actually liked the yellow background going away (again). I am okay with it being back but I still preferred its absence. -
Quote:Anything as long as it isn't rainbow belching ponies...Originally Posted by Aett_Thorn
Well, games have overused Zombies, after they overused Aliens. Twilight has kind of ruined Vampires and Werewolves for a while. Penny Arcade predicted the next phase would be Mummies, but I just don't see that becoming too big (especially after the third "Mummy" movie just kinda destroyed that idea).
As such, I really think that we're due for more Dinosaurs entering the mainstream. It's been a while since the last Jurassic Park, right?
Maybe Banshees? Or Leprechauns? Dark Gods of an unspeakable nature? -

Hey SwellGuy, feel relieved to get that off your chest?
