Parademon inspired gear - HoP1 teaser!

oh no sir! "The Super Powers Team: Galactic Guardians" was the 80s iteration following the 70s "Challenge of the Superfriends" Superfriends was way better. Though bnoth were painfully simplistic even for an 8-10 yr old child, Superfriends had much more variation of story including stories that did not star the same constant team of villians over and over (e.g. GI JOE, He-Man, Transformers).

SuperpowersTeam had cooler, and dramatically more relvant to this discussion, characters though. Whereas the Superfriends had Apache Chief, Black Vulcan, and Samurai as supporting characters (70s style multi-racial), the 80s SuperPowersTeam had Firestorm, and Cyborg who were real comics characters comics.


AND!

For Villains the SuperPowerTeam had Darkseid and a host of apokaliptian nemesis! Unfortunately, the characters of Great Kirby were reduced to ultimately simplistic, typical 80s tripe. They were bumbling incompetents similar to skeletor or cobra commander. The real sad part was how each and every story had the same 3-4 villains and they did the same dumb stuff over and over. Even a kid wanted to be interested in these amazing characters but they just weren't.

The didn't explain anything cool about all of the NewGods. They never developed any charactrs at all even though, of course ti's all written for them alrady. For example, New Genesis and any of it's inhabitants were never mentioned. Typical to the 80s it was incredibly simplistic and 1-dimensional.



Contrast with the 90s-200s era of all WB DC animation which is 100% pure army-issue awesomesauce. From BtaS thru YoungJustice, they never skipped a beat. Every single story was: 1.Good (depth, plot, interest, character development...) 2.100% in keeping with the spirit of the comics. Beautiful stories with beautiful art.



There's an old saying in comics that goes "Art sells copies. Stories sell subscriptions" - I think that might be relevant to DCUO

Metron Iconic Suit Confirmed!?!?!?

[QUOTEWell the big question would be the obvious one really, why do you need a new power already?
Rage Celestial and Quantum were just released relatively speaking, whats the rush? Why do you want a new power with every DLC/ every second DLC? ][/QUOTE]

That's how it was originally (one DLC w/o, one with a power). Though like I said, maybe Artifact Weapons are like the UB's then I would understand not having a power but then they'd have to release a power with the next DLC (unless something like UB's as well).....it's just human nature, we need things to keep us motivated.

When did this happen?

First 3 DLCs had a new power in each of them, the next 3 DLCs had zero new powers, the next 3 had a new power each and now no new power. So, if you want to talk about trend, the next 2 should have no new powers.

Don't get me wrong, I love new stuff, regardless of what it is, but you seem to be seriously confused here.

Back to topic? Oh wait, a green name helped derail it! (pst pst... Spytle... Tells us more, Mepps is taking a break...)

That's how it was since day 1 but then came LL, HoF and HT. I REALLY want a new power but I'm thinking we're not gonna see any new powers for a LONG while, Why? Every DLC will now have Raids and Alerts/Ops, you know how long it takes to make those.....

How about adding a briefing in an update in the open world about about Darkseid or the New Gods like you guys did before Origin Crisis to kinda give some info to the players that might not know about the Fourth World stories.

I added to that answer you quoted, please check it out. You are confused.

I generally agree with that Im not always looking for realism, but anybody who is at all trained or knowledgable in life-drawing can look at lee/leifield girls and identify that is a boy's skeleton with v-shaped hip-bone and wide shoulders whereas girls have bowl-shaped hop bones and shoulders narrower, inline with hips.

So sometimes when I see those "stylized" drawings I cant help but think "It's a boy! a boy with fake(cause they're speherical) bewbs!" To me that is very off-putting. Basically it doesn't look like a girl. To me that's not stylized it's just poor life-drawing skills.

It's my one and only knock on Lee. Other than the girlsbiltlikeboys I like everything else he does.

Sorry for double quote, just noticed something, We were told that the no new power for a while thing is not because of the raids and such. It's because the PS3 is already pushed to max capacity with the 12 powers we already have.

I remember watching that show and to be honest, I thought they were the same... Childhood scars tend to do that...

DC has made many references to Superfriends as what they don't want in a new series whenever a tv show of super hero team is in the works. Plus, you showed the picture to the toyline, which was just called "Super Powers" where the animation you linked was based off of. So forgive me, I thought you were just trying to say we don't want another Superfriends.

In other news, I'd be happy with the Super Buddies.

Ah you are right, it was HL then Elec then Earth then LL, HoF and HT and now.........but if it's that way and release the DLC trilogies in the same order.......that mean WoTL part 2 would have no power then AF and HoP would have powers then WoTL part 3 a new power......but then they'd have to change the order of role powers cause thatd be another Lantern Tank.....unless......HYBRID O_O

Hopefully there could be multiple styles. Im more partial to the solo disc myself



All of this is hypothetical of course...And hypothetically speaking if a certain creative director could shed some light on this situation, by letting us know if we are even getting them with this DLC or not, it would probably do wonders for clearing things up

Hypothetically of course.

Naw, Kirby's Fourth World character designs always had Lines and Circles in it.

I wouldn't mind my own Mother Box though. "Ping. Ping. Ping."

Source? I knew that would happen eventualy......prepare for the PC and PS4 vs PS3 flame wars

I don't know what a hop bone is, but it sounds seggsy.

I really want this style for my Electric char. :/

I think I mentioned this a few pages back, but that is one of the few event series that I read once and felt absolutely no need to go back and read again. Just sits and gathers dust like the Millenium series.

I doubt we will see a hybrid, that would lead to so many issues... I'm more inclined to them switching the order of the roles. It would be a big mistake to have another lantern tank or troller; if we do get another lantern, it's bound to be healer.

I have a league mate that is just sighing over blue lantern healers. I hope she gets her wish

That's how it was originally (one DLC w/o, one with a power). Though like I said, maybe Artifact Weapons are like the UB's then I would understand not having a power but then they'd have to release a power with the next DLC (unless something like UB's as well).....it's just human nature, we need things to keep us motivated.[/quote]


I Dont think you get what I mean though.
Powers were being released like that because there was a limited amount, now there isnt. Theres plenty to choose from and it takes a while to TRULY master each power to your specific playstyle. Ive been a few powers over the last 3yrs but I spent at least 6months on each to try get the full amount out of each of them. I agree with your "variety is the spice of life" kinda mantra but the "variety" in this game shouldnt/doesnt have to be minimalised to just New Powers. Just look at WM. That came outta nowhere and despite all the doubts and worries most of the ppl ive talked to in-game love it.

A new power shouldnt be a gimmick, it should arrive as a necessity, and right now its not necessary. If I could choose id leave the next power, which is actually a Troll power not Tank btw, till AF2 or WoTL3 in 2015. It'll free up time for other things like plot and settings to be worked on and be more "varied".

I like the parademon back piece. Would fit my Dark*** Beyond theme. But the rest of it is fugly.
