Can you list the pieces you're using here? Hopefully they aren't of the expensive cartel market variety.

Wow, sorry for not replying. Leave for a couple days and the thread moved. Currently down for maintenance so I can't get you the exact names, but..

Tranquil Mystic gloves, Battleworn Engineer's head, Blade Savant chest, belt would look better as Tranquil Mystic, and I'm not sure about the boots and pants offhand. I /think/ the boots are the Agile Battler's boots or something similar. The pants are one of the crafted level 56 pieces. It's the one with the tunic attached.

Sorry I can't be more helpful! Will edit when the game's up again.

Possibly. The Marvel execs were saying when they revealed the current plans for the rest of the Marvel franchise that they consider Captain Marvel the single most powerful hero on the roster and that she's intended to be on the cosmic side of the Marvel universe rather than Earth-bound.

That makes sense if they're going to make her into Pulsar. I'd still like to see a powerful Captain Carol Danvers. And unlike Superman's flipside Bizzaro, Ms. Marvel has Warbird. I want this movie.

Is she as hokey as Superman? If it isn't obvious I'm not a big comic person, but Superman has always been boring because he's such a boy scout. Like is she powerful but not invincible like Superman?

She's not hokey. She has issues, immense power, suffers with alcohol abuse, hangs out with her BFF She Hulk, and despite her flaws really kicks some cosmic rear end. And there is no difference between Cpt. Marvel and Ms. Marvel. She is one in the same. Captain Carol Danvers a.k.a. Ms. Marvel

Edit: If they use the teenage Ms. Marvel, then yes, that is a new reboot of the character after the original (mentioned above) was killed.

That explanation of the whole Ms. Marvel thing makes sense and is less confusing than I'd assumed it would have been.

It was pretty rad, his taunts were all things an eight year old would say. It was fun having an apparently full-grown super strong man beat people up and exclaim "yeah, I'm super strong!" and "I have the power of magic!"

In that case, the writer, who is in complete control of everything that occurs in the fictional universe they create, has written some creepy poo poo and should be prevented from publishing any of it.

From what I've read, the reason Captain Marvel had to reveal his secret identity to the Justice League was because he was flirting with 14 year old girls and that kind of creeped people out. His defense was that he was really only 12 year old kid, so good for Billy Batson.

Yeah, The DC version of Captain Marvel used to be a big deal. So, when Gomer Pyle said Shazam instead of swearing, that was because he read a lot of comic books.

There was also a music legend that was a huge fan of Captain Marvel, and supposedly based his hairstyle on Captain Marvel Jrs hair style.

Well, just finished my alt Inquisitor storyline right before the world ends in a few hours, though he's only 49. If the post-50 content is generally the same I'll probably only play through it once with my Operative anyway (oh god I completely forgot how to play this class and all these keybinds are different and why is my cargo hold filled to capacity with crafting materials, gifts, and green armor)

Yes, technically she was the third Captain Marvel. But Carol Danvers was Captain Marvel for almost 30 years, so she's the default Captain Marvel for Marvel comics.

So maybe people who know more about MMOs can answer this, but can we start downloading the patch? They give a time for the servers going down and coming back up, will we have to wait until they're back up to start downloading? Because those patches and the installation always take a long-rear end time and I'd like to start on the process ASAP.

Carol has only been Captain Marvel since the DeConnick book launched five or so years ago. She's the default Captain Marvel because she's the one Marvel has decided to make a movie about.

If you've turned off Bitraider for the client, there's a program someone wrote to find and download the patch files where the launcher will expect to find them. This will probably work and the patch files have been accessible for most of the day already.

If you haven't turned off Bitraider, the launcher will maybe be able to update shortly after the servers go down. You can't use the patch files from the servers directly because Bitraider has its own way of doing things.

I don't normally go for the "skimpy" looks since fanservice is loving stupid but I kinda like it in this case. Maybe because it's a refreshing change of pace from the "armored colossus" look that my Juggernaut has had since forever.



Going to replace the blood red saber crystals with white-yellow-orange ones once I can craft them :v:
