    The Goonies
    Smokey and the Bandit

    Trilogy of Terror
    Porky's
    Three the Hard Way
    Enter the Dragon

    March of the Wooden Soldiers
    They had the time of their lives (Abbott & Costello)

    Monster Week on ABC (I know it's not a movie, but...)

    I'm sure that I will remember more.
  2. I used a transfer token to move a seldom played character from Protector to Pinnacle. Instead of the slot being freed up on Protector, it set itself to unavailable.

    Petitioning now

    Blueside, I took toon that only did this: Atlas to The Hollows to Faultline to Striga to Croatoa to RWZ. Doing the 2 story arcs for Tina McIntyre & Maria Jenkins., Subtract the 1 Ernesto Hess & 1 Moonfire TF I did(50 total Merits). 347 Merits mins 50, 297 Merits total.

    Redside, 1-50, 142 Merits total. This doing every contact I could do(Each team was both 8 man teams) Thus I would out lvl some contacts, move on to another. I did no Strikeforces.

    So, total difference between the 2 are 105 Merit Difference. That a huge difference in my opinion(could also explain some market issues, though no where close all).


    Either we need some more zone specifics like Hollows/Faultline/Striga/Croatoa into RWZ(since both get RWZ) or the Story arc's need the merits beefed up some?

    What do ya'll think?


    JJ

    I've been talking about how out of whack it was since it's introduction.

    Hell, I'm still waiting for the bonus round merits to be removed from the STF.

    Quote:
    I think the theory is that while you get less merits redside (overall) it takes less time so technically you should be able to run more arcs in the same amount of time/levels and make roughly the same amount of merits.
    Nice in theory, but Heroes can out Merit Villains without touching an arc because there are more options.

    Sewers/Posi/Faultline (to fill the gap)/Synapse = approx 123 merits by level 20(this used to be doable in one 24 hour period easily before SSK. Not sure now)

    solo/solo/solo/Tarikoss/solo/solo/solo= approx 45-50 (maybe) merits by level 20 (I still say good luck doing this in one 24 hour period, you may pass out from boredom)


    I don't expect anything to be done about it at this point.

    Ice/Storm

    Freezing rain+Ice storm+Lightning storm+Blizzard = many dead mobs before they can fire a shot.

    I love my Ice/Storm.

    Agreed

People going about their daily affairs when suddenly there's an explosion off in the distance and all of a sudden the business man getting his morning paper bursts into flames and flies off; the taxi driver eating a beagle turns into a giant stone golem and lumbers off into the distance; a young family walking in the park stops, the wife kisses her husband as her eyes begin to glow with electrical energy. The scene fades and you see the City of... logo and under it, it says "Where Anyone Can Be a Hero!"


    I can only dream

    Well, since the cab driver is eating a Beagle before the transformation, it should read "Where Anyone Can Be Super!"

    Not everyone wants to be a good guy, but still a great mental image.
  7. Signed.

    The lack of mainstream marketing and advertising for this game has always left me scratching my head.
  8. This I cannot understand since



    it's right there on the screen. It's been there for over a week now.

    I took the opportunity to move my Energy/Energy Blaster here from Victory. I figured that since he hasn't been played in a couple of years that I would fool around with a costume for him. Lo and behold





    Something slipped through the cracks . His costume never got changed before because I would have lost my bug, but I didn't. Anyone with a bugged costume ought to go take a look in the editor.
  10. If I am home and otherwise not occupied, I'll join up.

    I am not THEM, I am controlling them, like God. The same way that I play the Sims... right before I lock them in a room with a refrigerator and no toilet and watch them **** all over the place.

    So yeah, in THAT sense, I AM roleplaying..... God.
    Three cheers! Awesome

    Sure, I guess someone could get the name in the time that one person is clicking the OK button continuously and I'm deleting the name. But I doubt it. And if it did happen? Yes, I'd give a refund.
    Fair enough
  13. Not for nothing, but how in the world would you be able to guarantee that the purchaser gets the name? If someone else hits OK before the purchaser does with the same name, will you be giving a refund?

    i was told in the reply that they will be renewed 7 days from the day you used the first transfer. so i used my first transfer yesterday (which was wednesday) and will get 6 new ones on next wednesday.

    Thanks. This is what I was looking for.

    oh jeez
  16. OP, I'm not gonna bash you, but imagine Being on an STF or RSF and dinging 50 right before the last guy goes down. All of a sudden, you get a pop up saying

    Congrats, you have just hit 50!
    Epic Achetype unlocked
    This character is being auto retired in 10......

    Boot from TF.

    Bad guy dies after the auto retirement.

    No Merits, No HO, time wasted.

    Seriously, did you really think this through?
  17. nope. It seems as though the test server rules apply.

    Free transfers, right in my price range.
    Welcome to the insanity

My old character will receive a generic name and a free rename token. I can use the rename token and then transfer the renamed character back to the original server... and all for free!
    I tested this. I had a character named Jack Jingle on Truimph. I made another on Champion and transferred him to Triumph. The new name on the transferred toon is Jack Jingle1
  20. Names...

    With...

    Numbers....


    Aaargh The Agony!

    Still loving it though.
  21. Dangnabbit! I was hoping that conflicts would be given a name token. It is appending numbers, shucks
  22. Well, I have been told that Protector is offensive, so you may want to watch out for that one.
  23. OK RSF'ers, are any of you moving high level toons? If so to where?

    On my chopping block are

    Sultry Son/Son Corr 50
    Prototype XII Bots/Bubbles MM 50
    Kabonk Mace/Shield Brute 50
    Mylonite Earth/Energy Dom 50
    Tre Blaze Fire/Dev Blaster 50
    Diamond Blades DB/Will Stalker 38
    and probably a Brute (Probably Tyger Uppercut) 37

    I already used 1, so I have 5 left for the week.

    How funny if I have a 50 on every server
    That's about how I am thinking. The only real question is who to move.
