I'm a huge fan of the partial soft cap.......anything over about 32 to cover with a small purple. Easy to keep inspirations around these days.

The only ones that have any merit to 'needing' something are the top tier TFs, but even those "needs" tend to get grossly exaggerated. Even in most of those cases, the need is really just a want.

Quote:Done it without holds, or done it without a control-type AT being responsible for the holds? That's a rather large difference.
Either way, the point stands- there IS stuff in the game where tossing together random players without any planning *can* result in an impossible task.
Mini-Hami, green mitos. It's not an absolute, 100% hard requirement, but it's WAY more trouble than it's worth. -
And that's why they're almost never, ever used by the general population. Even on the forums, it takes a thread like this every 6 months to remind people of their awesomeness.

Quote:The second I hear anyone advertise anything else, I put them on ignore. The game is no fun for me with highly specialized teams. If you need something, you need someone besides me.I haven't seen it yet, but that's mostly because I only start my own teams by my rules.
Rule 5: Any build, any budget, no exclusions.
I've allowed concept builds on my teams.
I've allowed petless MMs on my teams.
I have even taken a level 36 /regen scrapper on an MoITF.
I have kicked a billion inf invuln tanker jack wagon from my team because he cursed at one of the other players on the team. -
Quote:The shurikens are actually quite good. In fact, it can be more important to keep the genin out of melee for added AOE, than to allow them into melee. There isn't that much difference in their attacks anymore, the way there used to be.Maybe they throw a shuriken or two, but if you're holding your Genin out of melee range, you aren't making use of them except as cannon fodder anyway.
The problem, of course, is they now want to run into melee like everything else. I know a lot of people complain about that with the ranged pets, but for me, it made playing melee pets even more problematic. I had no problem using goto commands to put them into melee. I didn't gain anything (as some melee pets users surmise), I just lost more control.
That's most of the issue here: control. Even with a good set of binds, the best we can do is kinda nudge them in a certain fashion. Most of the pets have capabilities already, they just don't know how to use them. A set like Ninjas has quite a few control options, but you can never be certain when they will be used (and in some cases, they're just buggy). That's a real problem for a set like Ninjas, and often overlooked. Their defense isn't made to be the be all, end all......it's made to complement their soft controls. The problem is that the AI is very poor at doing that. The user has some ability, but not enough, and most users forfeit what control they do have. -
Quote:Nothing short of brilliant. That character has to be played with two extremes, but done in a subtle manner as to not make a complicated character appear as a lunatic.Michael Gambon nails it as a miserly old curmudgeon but was there ever any doubt?
Regardless of what one thinks of Moffat's continued abuses against the time travel mechanics, this special is one of the finest christmas specials simply due to Gambon's excellent portrayal. -

Quote:When do we get the hissy fit player nerf?All this leads me to believe that nukes will be likely be banned by the developers in yet another "hissy fit" patch (a patch that changes the rules so that the developer's "ideals" are upheld despite player tactics). The problem with those types of patches is that players do one of two things: find another way to overwhelm & ignore the developer rules OR simply ignore the badge because it is too difficult to achieve using "sanctioned" methods.

It was a bad show on an even worse network.........
.....still, it was more interesting than Caprica. Barely. -
Defender.
I hate the set on a blaster. Absolutely hate it. The set feels slow, much slower than it actually is. -

Gotta love when EB's aren't immune to knockback.

Quote:And people wonder why the world sucks so much. Cater to laziness, get laziness. All the wannabe hamsters can suck it, as far as I'm concerned.Just for fun I went around to several servers last night during "prime time"; Freedom, Triumph, Virtue and Infinity.
Apex and Tin Mage sat alone while Lady Grey and Imperious had plenty of company with people lined up to do their TFs.
I think that speaks volumes on what the average player thinks about Apex and Tin Mage, as opposed to the vocal minority of Muchkin power gamers on these forums who've propped up these two disasters.
May the i19 TFs and the devs "new development direction" be swiftly ignored, fall into obscurity and forgotten like the Shard TFs and other wastes of development resources.

You're actually missing quite a few, including what may be the best Batman movie, ever, Mask of the Phantasm.
((Though that one isn't 'straight to DVD', but should definitely be viewed!!)) -
