Aww, I wanted to reach 100 :(

88 guests. EDIT: 90.

They mentioned something about redoing the combat formula. 99 mage/def = 99 range/def = 99 melees/def. I think. Also doing things like being able to view combat potential - active prayers, potions, etc. I believe they mentioned they want to get rid of pures - that is, balance the combat formulas so people can't take advantage of it to make pures. I doubt it'll be 139, but I'm sure they'll re-balance the combat formula, and as a result have a different level cap.

Banned for posting in this thread. Also, just banned myself.

You know, as interesting as the idea is, I think one of RS major weaknesses might be all the skills. With 20+ skills, it's hard to make them all interesting, especially when things like firemaking, woodcutting are skills. And if you try to make 20+ skills interesting, you're putting 1/20th of the work you could put in to making ONE skill REALLY interesting. Yes, I realize that last statement isn't 100% accurate. It's open to a lot of nitpicking, but I'm hoping you can get the essence of what it's trying to convey. Honestly, this kind of "rebuild it from the ground up" they're doing is exactly the kind of revitalizing this game needs imo.

Reading Schlock Mercenary.

This.

ftfy? Also, good luck Ambler =/

Definitely Vikings.

That actually looks quite good. I just wonder how they got the rights to a lot of those characters, or if it's just covered in the spoof act or whatever its called.

I did the ECG. Got diagnosed with some weird heart condition. Thankfully, it wasn't bad enough to require surgery.

This.

I heard there was 2 seasons? So wouldn't it be more like 20+ episodes? Your point still stands though and I agree. Yeah it's 26 episodes altogether, though season 2 will most likely focus on a different story from what I've heard. So Riku's right, there are only really 12 episodes to tell the entire story of Amon. Pretty sure they said season 2 would have a different villain, and I think it's obvious who that will be given the last episode :P

Unless Tarlok is a BAMF who can bloodbend 24/7 and over distances, it doesn't seem likely(The council members would speak out after they are free from bloodbending control) But I agree that the council doesn't seem to matter at all. Not only is the whole concept of it very flawed and open for corruption but as you said, Tarrlok has the other three secure in his grip. I hope the show offers an explanation for that later... It's not just the fact that they're secure in his grip that bothers me, it's the fact that they have no personality or character at all. Even the way they're animated is very... they way they're drawn or animated makes them look like background characters. They have never even spoken once. They aren't being developed into characters at all. I'm not saying they need to be fully developed characters, but it'd be nice for them to actually have a voice - literally. I mean, think of all the character development Tenzin's kids have had - they are, in theory, less plot significant then these councilors. I've got nothing against those kids btw. But the councilors are, in theory, making big decisions which affect all of republic city. The task force probably had to get council approval, the council decision not to cancel the pro-bending championship was a council decision, and the legal oppression of non-benders had to get council approval. In theory, this makes ALL of the council more significant to the plot then anything Tenzin's kids have done. Yet only two of the councilors have NAMES.

It really bothers me how the fire, earth and southern water tribe representatives don't have a voice at all. Only two of the council has actually been developed into characters. I'm not saying they need to be fully developed characters, but it'd be nice if they could show some spine. Some character. Actually say something. I actually think Tarlok might be controlling council sessions via bloodbending. It's a bit of a stretch, but I can't think of any other good reason that the council (except for Tenzin) seems to blindly follow Tarlok. They could have at least had some of the council votes end with a 3/2 split. Even do it a couple times, so that it can be a different character, to establish that the three nameless council members aren't just mindless drones -.-

I agree with both of these statements. -looks up who yakone is- Ok. I totally thought it was Tarrlok in the flashback. I guess it would be that Yakone guy. Still. I don't have enough information on what happened to Yakone, but is it possible Yakone = Tarrlok? Since this happened around 40(?) years ago and they look somewhat of the same age, I doubt it. Maybe his father though? They look somewhat the same... He's a powerful blood bender which makes him a powerful water bender, and water bending can also be used for healing. It's not that much of a stretch that he also uses his bending to slow down/stop his aging via water bending healing. Which would also explain why he's such a good bender - he's had lots of time to practice. I'd need to hear more about Yakone's story tho, to determine how likely it is that he's still alive and kicking. Either way, it can't be a coincidence that they look the same. Also, I was talking to a guy who was saying how fire benders seemed to always be the bad benders. Well, Dai Li are bad earthbenders, and we have a bad water bender =D

DnD and comedic sociopath are not mutually exclusive. ... Facebooking that. ... Yes, facebooking is now a verb.

Are Nechs still better to chin if you want charms as well?

Same, but it's under the "Screw teamwork" category of reasons in my case. TDs and Glacors are very soloable you know. I've never gotten a boot drop from glacor, but TDs have been good to me in the past.

There isn't anything I can do about the Shield slot. I can't afford a real shield of any kind. I do use rapier/defender on the Glacytes, but I just have the ASN instead of the Fury. Once I get a little better, I'll upgrade the ring. Can you afford stuff you buy like tokens? Like surgeboxes?

I hate you.

That would feel cheap. He's an expert with an unflinching demeanor and likely a will of reinforced titanium. If such a thing is even possible. Now that I think about it, the creators of the show said they didn't want a repeat of of TLAB. So having the same resolutions wouldn't exactly be logical. Especially since that wouldn't really stop Amon. He'd still be able to lead the equalists and do most of the things he already does. In fact, logically that means he would have to be more picky about his bending targets and then just kill them instead. Which also doesn't work on a "kids" cartoon. Also, looking forward to Kora/Aang interacting =D

Also wat: wat.
