Today there will be maintenance from 11pm PST - 3am PST.

You're probably wondering who I am, so let me introduce myself! My name is Sparkiesoft and I will be your new CM! I look forward to hearing from you all and I will be doing an introduction thread a little later, so stay tuned!

First mod post!

And Superman because he can technically beat Goku.

Crixxix - Raging Tide

1st reply! Welcome sparkie! b:victory

edit: damn u skai! xD

I'd have to say Batman, simply because of the whole idea that Batman is a symbol.

Very true. I think it's important to remember not to overwhelm him though. Give him some time to settle in. v4liance set the bar VERY high when it came to being a CM, and I'm hoping Sparkie can step up to the plate. Let's just wait til his introduction thread and see what he says.

This week's maintenance question:

Welcome to the show sparkie! I know alot of people will be glad to see we finally have someone to talk to us again!!b:victory


Answer to the question: Batman (why > Cause he had the self assuredness to still go on with intimidation when all of his male sidekicks were to be named with the most Emo of monikers of all time 'Robin') how he could still intimidate people with someone alongside of him with that sort of laughable name is still amazing...b:chuckle

Knownase - Heavens Tear

sparkiesoft

Thanks for all the warm welcomes! I plan on doing the best I can, so if you ever feel I'm not doing something right, let me know. I figure I might as well answer the question as well, so here goes!

Favorite superhero? Batman, because his only superpower is tons of money and he has a cool costume

Plz, even Krillin can beat Superman with just a piece Kryptonite.

I like Superman, and he is cool, but he has a few design flaws

Now now, I'm a HUGE fan of Dragonball Z, as that was one of my childhood shows I've watched growing up. I prefer Goku to Superman any day, but this video does a great in-depth analysis if both were to fight one another. It's very entertaining as well!

It's almost 33 minutes long though, so you've been warned!

While I do feel they got the right result... the way they got to it was kinda horrible and not very fair at all.

I mean they even combined different versions of Superman for that and severely underestimated Goku's abilities a good deal.

Kinda a shame too since at least the fight was entertaining to watch. Also it had Abridged Goku's voice. Which is awesome.

Fabuleux - Lost City

Still no word on the fix for 2nd reawakening quest line where we have to dig the fire ball?

Still says we don't have the right item in our inventory to dig it, when we do.

I've gone ahead and added that to a weekly feedback sweep I'm going to start doing. Basically, I'll search the forums for any bugs (as well as have mods find some threads) and take note of them. Then I'll meet with others and let them know and hopefully get some feedback from the developers. However to make things easier, try creating new threads or add to one of the already open ones. I'll be going through those almost daily, as will the mods.

Thank you for the feedback!

Xainou - Sanctuary

After seeing the avengers I could never decide between hawkeye and ironman. So I'll go with Desdi. b:chuckle
