    Funny, my experience with 3D Avatar was one of an amazing vivid and rich world. It was bright, colourful and crisp and it's 3D was perfected, not just gimmicky.

    I'm upset that I won't be able to experience that again without shelling out for a 3D tv.
  2. Also been happening with me, not very frequently, but it does happen.

I'm against this because I hate the technology on principle and would hate to see it proliferated any further.
    People were saying the same about sound and colour too.

    3D will eventually be standard (without the need for glasses) and everyone will wonder how we watched anything without it AND what on earth we were all smoking when people of our generations were against it.

    I think CoH'd be cool in 3D, but I'm not paying for a monitor that can do it properly... and red/green 3D which I think nVidia has some drivers for) messes with the colours, obviously.

    You can get drops while soloing, just not at the same rate. Do the story arc and play your 50 and you should at least be able to get your common alpha in a reasonable time frame.

    My final opinion is reserved for how I see the Devs treat future content releases. If almost every issue is primarily devoted to new Incarnate content, I won't be very happy at all. But if they maintain a balance, then good deal.
    If we look at this as coming with Going Rogue as originally attending though, this End Game content also came with a mass amount of brand new 1-20 content, including new zones, multiple starting story arcs and all sorts.

    So, I think the Devs are well aware not to make this game End Game dependent, but for those of us who make a strong connection with one of our characters, being able to advance that character some more is great.

    It used to be Chum Spray...

    My mistake.
  9. It's the tip of the iceburg, I'm more excited by it's prospects than what we actually have right now. As it stands, it's pretty cool.
  10. I cheated and dropped a Vanguard HVAS on him. If you have the Vanguard Merits, buy one of them, he'll take out Honoree without any problem. Just be careful not to die after spawning it, otherwise it'll die too!
  11. Stealth drops when you activate an attack power I believe. Putting down a time bomb is (as far as the game is concerned) an attack and will thus suppress your stealth for a few seconds.

  13. Took him down on my second try as an Nrg/Nrg Blaster. Just pulled him to the hall and kept knocking him too the ground. I've fought harder.
  14. I'll put the HO in it then, that way I'll still be fairly fast when I Exemp down. Wahey, two more slots to put into other powers
  15. I haven't respecced in ages, but since I want to take advantage of inherent stamina, I have a couple of questions.

    Fly was upgraded correct? I heard it only requires 1 SO to hit the cap now.
    So, if I put one fly/end HO into Fly, I'll be at max speed correct?

    The other question is, it's still irrelevant in what order I put slots into power during respeccing right?

    Cheers for the help.
  16. Clearly they did not watch the video.

    Can you run Ultra mode on them and at what level?

    This is probably the easiest question to answer. It's dead the moment it can never function again. Turning it off is just sleep, it can wake up again.
    It only dies once it's code is irrevocably damaged, either via corruption, virus or damage to it's physical form.

    Um, no. We can't dodge bullets. We can maybe get out of the trajectory of the bullet before it's fired, but once it's fired, if they're aimed at you, you're getting hit.

    To be fair, pretty much no hero should be able to dodge lasers since they y'know... move at the speed of light.

  22. Is no one going to mention how we can still see the stars shining THROUGH the moon?
  23. Well, this thread truly crashed and burned.
