  1. As I remember it, the Na'khul were not vampires and the reason they sided with the Nazis was to alter Earth history and prevent the Federation from ever existing. I did not care for the whole temporal war arc either. I would have preferred the writers and producers came up with something different for the post-Xindi war arc.
  2. I could be wrong, but as I understand it, the 1,023 character limit includes line breaks. If you want to have line breaks. you will need to take that into account when writing a biography.
  3. As much as it pains me to say as an enormous Michelle Yeoh fan, this is probably the first work of hers that I will not see. This looks absolutely awful. Real Star Trek died with Enterprise back in 2005 in my opinion. Star Trek was not always good, not always bad during the Berman era, but you could tell that the creatives back then cared about the property. Everything since then has been a hot mess of VFX spam and garbage writing. The moment I read that Alex Kurtzman and Michael Chabon were specifically hiring "writers" who never watched a single episode of Star Trek, I knew the franchise was dead. The one and only redeeming quality of this new garbage is that it makes anything Brannon Braga was involved with look less bad.
  4. I very much disagree. I have several Energy blasters myself. Energy Blast, like any other Blaster primary, has both strengths and weaknesses. How well it performs is most dependent upon the player, followed by their build choices and then what enemy NPCs being fought as that defines how resistant they are to energy damage. Energy Blast is going to do very well, decent or not so well against NPCs depending on what you are fighting. To say it is not "strong" is not accurate. This seems to proceed from a very false assumption that Force Feedback is the only set that has valuable procs that can be slotted in Energy Blast.
  5. With Synapse being the WST, this has happened several more times this week unfortunately. Would be delightful if this could be looked at and some solution put in place to prevent Babbage from getting droned. Thank you.
  6. I am saddened every time I see someone debating whether or not to roll a /Regen. Please do yourself a favor, spare yourself a lot of pain and grief and go with /SR instead.
  7. I am not sure I see the relevance? Thor, Hulk, Doctor Strange and several other playable characters in the game have solo defeated cosmic level villains, in some instances several of them at once. Their in game characters are far more balanced in terms of actual game play. You can play co-op PvE.
  8. Beast Run, Ninja Run and Athletic Run are purchased from the S.T.A.R.T. Vendor listed under Prestige Powers > Travel > Movement. That is what I was referring to, not the separate Prestige Sprints themselves. Yes, there are whispy speed trails following your character when Athletic Run is active. Regardless of what things are called, the No VFX option in the costume editor should literally be No VFX. Not some VFX removed.
  9. I know what Ninja Run and Athletic run are, thank you. I was not referring to Prestige Sprints or slotting prestige sprints. I specifically mentioned Athletic Run, which does in fact have VFX associated with it in the form of whispy speed trails that you cannot turn off.
  10. When the costume editor has an option for "No VFX", it should mean there are no VFX. Across many different sets, there are No VFX options that still have some degree of VFX options associated with the power. As an example, I love my /Ninjitsu characters, however on some of them it would be spiffy if No VFX on Shinobi-Iri option meant it does not show you transparent/stealthed. If possible, please have these No VFX options mean no VFX at all. Also, it would be splendid if the prestige sprints like Ninja Run and Athletic run could get No VFX options as well. Thank you.
  11. First, allow me to express my condolences to you on selecting Regen as your secondary. As someone who adored playing my MA/Regen scrapper back in the pre-ED days of live and then after the great ED, Regen, GDN and various other "improvements", my advice to you would be to re-roll into SR or Ninjitsu or Shield Defense. Regen is not a set that shines against surviving huge spike damage.
  12. This happens throughout the game at all levels. I just finished running through the Croatoa arcs and not a single hostage makes a sound even when you are in the midst of rescuing them. I also recently ran through the A Hero's Hero story arc and none of the hostages in that awful, awful, awful city map mission where you have to rescue hostages from the Shadows say anything. It is increasingly infuriating to run story content like this and a plays a rather large role in why I dislike running story content. It would be fantastic if NPC hostages could cry out if you are near by.
  13. I have been playing this with my son and it is indeed fun. Although I will say some of the characters like Iron Fist and Squirrel Girl are ludicrously overpowered! Fun game though!
  14. I think the Donner films should be left as the classics they are, and Hollywood should stop trying to recreate/re-imagine them. They have never been successful at it and they never will be in my humble opinion.
  15. I purposefully avoided most of the leaked set photos and such because I wanted to be surprised by this. Having now seen it, I am sad to say I am thoroughly disappointed. The costuming looks awfully cheesy and something you would expect to see at a local comic con or Halloween shop. I am very leery that James Gunn is going to go the humorous/silly GoTG route with this film. I will keep an open mind too, but I am unimpressed and disappointed in what I am seeing so far. I think you are right and given the last several superhero flops from both DC and Marvel, I am not sure why they are trying again to create a whole extended universe. Warner Brothers and DC have been trying to catch Marvel for a decade or so now with very limited, if any success at it. I do not think this is going to work for them. As a huge Hans Zimmer fan myself, I completely agree with this. Zimmer's work for Man of Steel - as with his other work - is beautiful and inspiring. Zimmer is a true genius. I am delighted to be going to see him live in February. I cannot wait for it! Nothing at all against John Williams at all for his work on the 1978 Superman score. It truly is a timeless classic.
