  1. What makes me boggle is in AE, when messing with customising Standard mob colours, just where they hooked some of the parts for them. I mean, some of the PPD bots have leg details hooked into their shoulders and stuff. And I think one of the head details was actually the covers on the gun arms?

    That said, looking at the PPD Shell suits, I still cant figure out how it wouldn't work on PC's. If it was a mutually exclusive chest option, say ('Power Armour') then it could cut down on the clipping issues, for one..? *shrug*
  2. Sam, the men in white coats are coming...
    Do not fight them. They are friendly, and have cookies They'll take you away from the nasty, nasty game, and only allow you to play CoX from now on.
  3. Any more of this speculation and;



    Imma coming for you...

    Whether or not the finished product will still be like this I have no idea, though I do hope it works that way.
    Sounds realisitc and reasonable to me.
    And it will all look shiny, too...

    Castle is fully aware of it.
    But can you imagine the wailing and grinding and gnashing of teeth if all the bonuses got changed? There'd be as much flaming and rage as ED, or something. Necessary, maybe, but it'd be an S-storm and a half.

    Not saying I disagree, btw. But I can see why they would be incredibly tentative with any changes.

    Let's not forget his Hand Clap that deals scale 1.42 damage ... the same as Footstomp.

    His Total Focus deals its damage and mag 4 stun in a 17' AoE.

    His Hurl hits in a 15' radius AoE.

    None of his AoE attacks have a target cap.

    He has two attack sets - Energy Melee and Super Strength (with the big-hitters from both).

    Like most signature NPCs, his "godmode" doesn't have a crash.

    The DR cap for AVs is 100%.

    ...Dude...

    Well, you know what they say;
    "Don't mess with the Brawler!" I am envious, though.

    The content will be, yes.

    The constant complaining gets old after the fifth time.
    And you are now doomed. You posted a mono-line reply with a smily.

    RUN! GOLDEN GIRL HAS MULTIPLIED!! D=

    Seriously. It's reaching GG level when she gets on the horse about equal-fem stuff and animated hair. That should be enough to make it stop, please?

    (Not saying shes wrong, its just stuff gets old after the billionth time)

    @_@
  12. Because Ultra-mode makes everything look shiny.
    Literallly. It just...

    Words fail. A screenshot from the Herocon vids *might* pass muster.
    Might.

    The only people I see complaining, are the people complaining about other peoples desire for more information.

    YMMV
    Thats because all of us want information.

    Only some of us realise it will get here when it gets here

    But these are some awesome variants:

    I especially like the energy bodies:

    if Jay could make some of these happen he would be the sexiest guy in history.
    Not fond of all of those but...even so, some cool ideas in there, that could work given the right CoX touch and magic.

    Ah, thats a whole different equation that also relies on things like; who is the victim?

    I am just curious?
    Whatever number you can think of.
    +1
    In fact, the correct equation is;

    W+1
    With w being the infinite level of want.

    Sorry? I can't hear you over the complaining!

    Shout moar plz! Kthnxbai!

    /facepalms
    I concur. I really do
  20. Im holding out from killing stuff, for the sake of getting Ultra Mode graphics.

    And yes, GR > Spring event. Which means;

    Have patience!
    Everyone else has to as well. There is no 'Give us info noaw!' button. No special treatment. It is ready when its ready and when the All Powerful Evil Marketting Empire of Zok decress that it is ready!

    /deep breath
    I'm getting weary of the impatience here

    Going Rogue comes first, if not sooner. If they can, they said they'd get Ultra Mode out before GR proper, and I will literally kill for that graphicy goodness.

    I've also never actually done *any* of the Valentines stuff, despite being here for, what, 2-3 years now? Timing and other RL stuff, I guess.
  22. I knew I shouldnt have watched the Herocon vid again.
    And again...
    And again...

    I will kill for Ultra Mode. I honestly will.
  23. Taking away timecards from a server is a surefire way to hack people off, especially after the...whichever card it was that people suddenly found they couldnt use for monthly payments anymore. Some people are now limited to time-cards.

    I know it's not 'all servers', but its still not a sound idea.

    You can think of it as being the difference from being a literal costume piece like a witch's hat for halloween and a real in-game witch wearing the same hat. If the hat looks way too stereotypical or incomplete most people will regard them both as just 'dressing up'. Same applies with things like cat ears, they just look like the character stuck them on with clips or something.
    Not always.
    I use the wildcat ears on Kitsune Vixen, my emapth defender. Her background is she's a mutant who has the DNA of the same mythical creature in her blood, from some long ago event. The serated sugar hair with the wildcat ears make for a passable pair of fox ears, which is part of her manifested mutation, along with orange fur. They work perfectly fine. It would be nice to have a decent tail to round that out (and stop people mistaking her for a catgurl, which she isnt)

    I've avoided making any other anthromorph characters, simply because there are not currently any pieces that I can put together that look good, and no fail.
