No, actually, that's only ever been true since Hollywood started doing them. Original Werewolves were just that; men that turned into wolves.

A friend of mine was very pointed about that, i.e. rude words about Hollywood

EDIT: Seems Bill beat me to it, heh

While I know how utterly mental the current system is....I also know how much outrage that would cause. There are some spectacular bases made using the current system (I should know, I've been in some of them) and only if you could replicate those sorts of looks could the Devs really get away with it.

I think they are very wisely stepping around that particular sleeping dragon.

Nope. That's metagame.

The game engine cannot handle, say, an SR user dodging shots, or only being slightly grazed. You simply cannot GET the cinematic quality of, say, Batman or Spiderman in this game. That is why we have the 'stand still, trade punches' fights; because we have to.


Ergo, that argument is dead already. Just saying.

Uh...I wasn't, so...do tell?

Bloody hell, I didn't realise it was quite that bad O_o

To clarify the clarification; there are ALREADY plenty of incentives to Team; better rewards, not being the only target, people to chat with/socialising with friends, etc, group RP for folks like me and other friends on Union who do...


What we DON'T need is forced and primarily mechanical stuff. My Empath/Psi, for instance, is going to be getting an alternative version who is Psi Melee/WP when that comes out, because she NEVER gets played outside of a team. Not because teaming is more fun/rewarding, which it already is, but because I refuse to solo something that painfully bad at soloing. It's simply not fun.

/In my opinion

It's a pity people keep using it in defence of silly stuff too...like on Beta. /other thread

You'd be amazed how often people try and use it, though...

Slick here has apparently pre-hacked my brain and reworded everything I would put much more better.

Saves me having to try and post it

1. This is not a Comic Book. It's a game, an MMORPG to be exact. There may just be a sliiiight difference between the two, m'kay?

2. Point out to me where, exactly, I wanted 'NO CHANGE ANYWHERE, AT ANY TIME EVER!' instead of pointing out what, specifically, was bugging me.

Christ on a cracker, are we STILL doing this, after so damn long?

Nope, pretty sure they tried that one back then, too.

It didn't work out so well

Yes, because you're really contributing to this dialogue now.

Oh, wait. What was that about, pots and kettles, or stones and glass houses?

Don't be dissin' my style, braaaahhh!!

I'll kill you later, honeybunch

And the doofus hair, well, I have SEEN that in real life. Today. On the street. Top of the hair left alone, shaved sides.
All of my What

Bingo, we have a winner.

Don't get me wrong, I LOVE the fact the gang finally got some visual love and more in-depth missions. I just don't see the need to butcher the one bit of solid canon they had for a guy who looks like a less cool version of Salvador, i.e. a not overly tall guy on steroids;

If by Posi saying "Uh, actually, I don't really have much clue about this".....wait, that's not a compelling argument in the slightest.

That's pretty much exactly what you said, actually;

Saying that they don't need to revamp low level content because people can grind DFB from 1-50 if they have no motivation other then levels is...

Yeah, let's just say that myself and others are very glad that the Devs don't subscribe to your news letter.

Except that is totally NOT what I am saying.

With Issue...whatever, Invasion, the Devs 'changed the Rikti'. And it was great. Because they went on what we knew already, they expanded existing canon, they progressed it, moved forward with it...we didn't suddenly have the Rikti change what they were, how they acted and who their boss was. In fairness, it was never made clear prior if the Rikti had any bosses, so that was ok; Hro' Dtohz was an addition, filling in a space where there was nothing previously.


That is all NOT true with the Skulls. Chernobog as one of the Petrovic brothers is NOT an addition, it's a change to previously established canon. And, again, that in and of itself is no bad thing. I mean, dear god did Praetoria ever need the hell retconned out of it. Goatee-Mirrorverse Praetoria was terrible. I don't think anyone disagreed with that. But the Skulls are not in the same place; they have pre-existing canon that was just never explored right and done justice in-game and, now the Skulls are finally being expanded, said existing canon is being completely thrown out because....uh....because Posi didn't actually KNOW any of the gang lore before calling that shot? That's CERTAINLY what I've got out of this so far, and that is not good.

...

Your reasoning is bad, and you should feel bad.
