I like her she should be made in game ^_^.
And I'd be tempted to make more characters like that in game, if we had more parts to work with. The tails are a good start though. -

That's... Not really what one would use as ammo against furry fans as a broader spectrum. I happen to enjoy the artwork and still find that repulsive, as it's actually a MALE Chewbacca with photoshopped bikini and lipstick on. Then again, being fan of the artwork, I'd lie if I said I've not seen worse. Like, a LOT worse. If you want me to trawl the net for you, I can probably find a few pics you can turn people's stomachs with, but I'm afraid none of them would be postable.
Suffice it to say that this specific subject, even if we were to restrict ourselves to it like we shouldn't, is about as broad as something like anime. Every time someone tries to badmouth anime, they end up badmouthing a very narrow subset of themes within anime that they really hate. Like giant-eyed people that sweat gigantic uni-beads and have hair twice the length of their bodies, just to pull an example out of a hat, but there's a lot more to anime than that. And there's a lot more to furry artwork than mascot costumes or wolves having sex with the Lock Ness Monster (seruously).
The anime parrallel is a very good one. Some stuff is incredibly wierd, and, (IMO) so is the stuff that people tend to drum out when using the term 'Furry', which is why I stick to calling it Anthro art, which is also more technically correct. For example, is this sort of thing 'OMFG wrong, ew, ew!' ? (and yes, it's one of my pieces);

People in general have some wierd likings. Bondage, foot fetishes, sadist, machosist, robot fetishes, all sorts of stuff. T'be honest, none of that really 'bothers' me. I might not like it, some of it I find really wierd, but so long as its out of sight and out of mind, I couldnt really give a damn. Its someone elses thing, so let them be.
But when it's to the point of 'omg its furry KILL IT!' it gets really damn stupid. Did you never watch The Raccoons, or Dogtanian as a kid? (Those in the US might not have seen them, t'be fair). Or Disney? Disney uses a HELL of a lot of anthropomorphic characters. Just in quite a kiddy style. In the same way that cartoon people are less realistic.

It found it interesting that the TF revamp comes not long after the lead designer post passing from Positron to War Witch. I remember at the anniversary party in Pocket D, Positron was very much against revamping old content, while War Witch seemed more receptive to the idea. Hopefully, we'll see more of the older content getting a make-over in the future.
God knows, it needs some work. Especially Blue side. People complain about Mercy and Oakes being 'boring' and whatnot, but at least they have a solid, steady range of content that doesnt have you trekking across half the damn city.
Blueside? Fedex, Security Chief, contact intro, fed-ex, hunt....[LOUD EXPLETIVES!]
I like the Hollows and Faultline, but it would be nice to have OTHER places I can level normally from 1-22... -

My machine, as dated as it is, can chew through games like Assassins Creed and BioShock with ease, yet land me in Creys Folly and I lag without looking at anything. Never mind the pain of Grandville or running a large taskforce.
There is a *huge* difference. And thats teh interwebs. -

Tease that she might like details even though she doesn't.

Also, sorry but; HELL NO! to pets that turn on you. That sounds like the epitomy of 'Not Fun' right there. Especially given MMs are not good combatants solo, having a solo mission go backside up due to your own tier 3 pet tearing a limb off just sounds like fail incarnate.
That said, Im looking foward to them. Hopefully one of my Praet's will get to utilise them. -

I hope it isn't as OP as thugs or bots. I don't want to be laughed at even further for having Ninja and Mercs MMs.
The problem is NOT Bots and Thugs.
The problem is that Mercs and Ninjas are underpowered, mostly thanks to stealth powers and pets NOT making for a good mix.
Buff the two, by all means. But damn well leave bots and thugs alone. -
Quote:Aha, that's probably true. I remember my character had the office belt for a while after uit got removed.Originally Posted by Lothic
To clear up what BAB was saying about this the only reason anyone would have to "re-chose" a legacy tail for a character costume is if that costume ever got edited -after- I17 goes live. If you have a legacy tail right now for a costume and you decide to never edit it again then there's nothing you have to do.
Over the years the Devs have shifted and changed many different costume items. They've even removed some original items from the editor, but not from the game itself. This means that as long as people have never edited their costumes since those changes then there are costumes out there that still have "deleted" items locked into them.
Of course its always possible that all old tails are going to be automatically removed from all characters the day I17 goes live, forcing everyone to go back to the editor to 'fix' that one way or the other. But if that happens that will pretty much be the first time anything drastically "automatic" like that has ever happened in the history of this game which makes me think it's a very unlikely possibility.
Ta for clearage. -

War Witch is awesome by the way.
Because it sounds really quite nasty, if it is.
Yeah, de-rail of de-railing de-rail. But I have views about bloody size 0s and all that carp... -
So...basically taking two groups that have nothing to do with City Of, and copying them?
Given we have a lot of rather good groups in the game already that are in canon, this gets an /unsigned. Id rather have a PPD AT, a Longbow AT...anything thats remotely canon, thanks. -
Hehehe. Nice.

Pistols are not effective melee weapons. Sword/pistol combo, maybe.
Pistols on its own? No. -

Quote:Not from what Babs said. You will need to go back into the tailor and chose the Legacy (non-animated) tails from the menu.Originally Posted by Liz Bathory
You need to rplace the one you have to become animated. But if you never do you will be able to keep your e old one.
But yes, you will still be able to keep non-moving tails, if you so choose to. And, as a bonus, you can now have belts with them. -

We all have things we want in the game, some of them rather badly. But we dont go on and on and on about them. (Ok, some people do. They tend to be the ones with red rep that, suprise surprise, aren't too popular)
I, for example, could harp on about how bases need love and attention, how unfair ir is that tech has so few items, how we can't have Blast/armour ATs despite it not seeming impossible to balance them, how bug that have been here for 6 years are still here, graphical errors...
Etc. Now, take that post and multiply it by about twenty, over all sorts of different threads. I can assure you, it gets old really fast.
Oh, and I really couldn't care an iota less about what people think about me RPing. I like RP. So do many other people on Union. If theres some problem with my playstyle...*shrug* And, before you leap on that, no, I have no problem with your playstyle. I still don't know you from adam, and you can play however you choose.
It's the whining I take issue with. Although I don't know why I'm still having to explain this, when the ignore feature has already saved my sanity a few more points. -
Dismissive and slightly sarcastic post.

I know it sure as heck won't happen, but...Kitsune tail?
My Empath defender would simply hate for that ( one fox tail would make her mad enough
)
More realistically, a better dragon/reptile tail would be nice. Like, something off a croc or alligator, that looks vagueley tail like. -

Possibly my Dual Pistols character on test. I made her DP/Psi, but really she would best be served by DP/SR with a few psi powers added in, most likely the immob, stun and probably psi scream and shockwave.

You know what. I just paid for two accounts for an entire year. I plan on getting every penny out of my subscription fees. If you dont want to read what I type, YOU KNOW already that there is an IGNORE function on these forums.
Like all of you, I am allowed to express my feelings on whatever thread I wonder into.
I was expecting more from Issue 17 because we havent gotten a really Great issue in a long freakin time.
edit: You keep saying take a break. I HAVE been on break from doing anything in this game for over a year. Waiting for new dev created content... waiting and waiting for something new to do, a new path to 50... been waiting and waiting, happily buying all their little packs on multiple accounts, "Supporting the game"...
And we can express how tired we get of it all.
Kindly point me in the direction of that ignore button. -
Quote:BaBs, don't care how many times people may have said this;Originally Posted by BackAlleyBrawler
Animated tails are not capes. They're nearly identical to how we do wings, but a much simpler rig. (Not too much more expensive than a bow when you really get down to it.)
They've also been put on their own costume node and will now show up under "Lower Body". Which will mean you can do a Belt and a Tail (animated or static) on the same character. Unfortunately, that means the tails under the belt category are being flagged as legacy. So if you want to keep your current, non-animated tail, you'll still need to go in and select that costume part from the lower body the next time you edit your costume at the tailor.
You da Man!
Awesome, awesome stuff ^^ -

I wish they would have just kept Ultra Mode until they were releasing ALOT of new content, like Going Rogue.
Is Issue 18 coming before Going Rogue?
I thought they hired all these new peeps so we could have new issues every 3 months or so. ?
edit:
Would rather have new task forces... could care less about updating old ones.
Happy some of you are getting animated tails, I have no interest.
8 missions is weak IMO, for a content update. When they said content update, I was thinking like 5 or 10 levels of content.
I hope this gets alot better, new zones with all new content. We desperatly need a new issues like this one: Forest of DreadQuote:Originally Posted by Perfect_Pain
So animal animated tails some how make the game brand new?
Interesting.Quote:Originally Posted by Perfect_Pain
That is all you needed to say. Ultra Mode while I did upgrade my entire computer for it, is not going to make what I have already done countless times more fun some how. It just isn't. It will look cool, and then honestly it will look how it is Supposed to look. I am also subscribed to Age of Conan, and their graphics are superior atm. I am hoping UM kinda catches up. I can already look alittle to the left and see shadows and water reflections.
I cant find it atm, but I will... It said content update somewhere in one of these 90 million threads... Will find it later.
ZM, Most of this games quality Improvements are stuff other games have had for forever... So, QoL that they may be... They are also nothing new to many people who have wondered why this game constantly is in the dark ages.And you really, honest to god wonder why people have a go at you for being whiney and depressing to read?Quote:Originally Posted by Perfect_Pain
Takes 45 minutes on a team set to 3... Just do it on a 50... Its not that sucky as long as you are motivated and skip most of the missions.
Seriously. Take a break from the game. Log off and don't come back until GR releases, if you're that bored of it. Then, if you come back and it's still 'boring'...well, maybe your playing the wrong game? Has it never occured that maybe other people don't necessarily have to have the exact same opinion as you?
