The Well favors them.

By the way, going by the concept art we've seen, we're going to be trashing Mother Mayhem's "hospital" at some poiint during another Trial, so it's quite likey we'll have another cutscene with her in it

Got to rush for your perceived participation reward.

I don't suffer from altitis, I enjoy every minute of it.

Thank you Devs & Community people for a great game.

So sad to be ending ):

That's wonderful

Incidentally, I got busy this weekend and forgot to find Sutter and Kal. I should have them today or tomorrow.

No rush, I'm still working on the BAF cutscene. Got it storyboarded out and quite a bit of it shot, but now I'm debating if I should use the old MM hospital map, or one of the new Praetorian maps.

Decisions, decisions...

I thought the cut scene (in the BAF trial) was put into place to ensure everyone loaded... trying to get 24 people to the same place so they can all start at about the same time being the goal. I could be wrong.

Well, I ran the Mortimer Kal SF last night with the Nova Dominion - now THAT was a Strike Force I enjoyed immensely. (And damn it, I want the map of Odysseus' office!)

But I REALLY liked the cutscene - it was quite cool seeing the villains of the SF squaring off against Posi, especially that fade to white and BAM there he is wreathed in flame.

So, hey, Paragon Studios? Whoever did the MKSF cutscene? Have him/her do more like that! Not that snoozefest that's the BAF cutscene.

It's got a great view of Talos Island, doesn't it?

It does! Now if I can just get a map like that for Founders Falls, I'd have Tava's apartment... or at least her office.

(And now I need to run the Mortimer Kal again so I can film the cutscene.)

While I certainly can't comment on the humorous nature of some of these comments...nope not at all...not even a little bit...I can let you know that we've included some of the qualitative feedback herein about the frequency at which players are experiencing cut scenes.

While the sentiment is definitely understood, with the current system we're not able to provide an option to skip the cut scene.

If there's a change in this, we'll update you all.

Yes, you can comment - who did the BAF cutscene vs who did the MKSF cutscene? WORLDS of difference b/w the two!

The second time I ran that TF, I immediately ran over to the window while the leader was talking to Odysseus. I was curious to know where, in Talos Island, his office really was?

Why not just eliminate them and make them part of a tf or mission arc you do to qualify for a baf. NOTHING MAJOR just a mission or something o.@ Then you know whats going on don't miss out and we don't have to stare at Airbags Tilman the whole damn time -.-

It is very frustrating to zone into the BAF and get stopped in my tracks for the 80th time while that cutscene plays.

By the time I actually get *into* the Trial, half the robots in the first encounter have been defeated and I can look forward to a reward of Uncommon or lower.
Out of the dozen or so trials I have done. There has only been one where I have *not* gotten a thread drop *before* I get to a single mob.

Goatee Ba- I mean, Marauder, always confuses me with his jumping down to the camera. I keep expecting him to break through the wall shouting "OH YEAH!"

if they had him break through the door and shout that, i would laugh so hard and actually enjoy the cutscene a little more lol

Do not disturb the Maven of Movies while she works.

Also I happen to know she's allergic to cats, and prefers dogs.

Cutscene macros I use:

the simple "Hi Mom!" for Mother Mayhem

For Marauder I use "If this is about all those parking tickets, I can explain."

Statesman's speech during the LRSF: "You're telling me that if I turn on these idiots during the fight you'll not only set me up in an apartment, I can join the Vindicators?"

There are a few others, but they probably violate the forum rules.

Gol-

I feel your pain. I have a particular sound effect I came up with for Mother that I'd love to share, but I'd probably be insta-banned. lol

Nobody's perfect...


I managed to get a few laughs after the BAF cutscene by saying "Thanks for the speech, Praetor Snooki..."

"And in this moment, I will not run.
It is my place to stand.
We few shall carry hope
Within our bloodied hands."
