    I personally think the best option would be to have a customisable granite, like how you have custom weapons and now, custom powers. If there was a different granite model depending on your body size, which scaled with your height, and you had the ability to change it the same way you can with the other armours in the set, this would make granite really cool IMHO, and i personally think there would be so many more people who would want to see the above than there would to want granite to stay as it is, or have granite become just added rock like the other armours.
    I take it you didn't read BaBs post, where he said 'No we can't do both'.
    Besides, I doubt, no sorry, I KNOW BaBs isn't the sort of Dev to just do some half arsed job. If it's going to get an overhaul, it'll still look like you just walked through a mountain, and the mountain lost.

    A couple people have expressed the concern that they would no longer become huge when turning on Granite, which seems like a valid issue. I'd suggest that you could easily use a costume change at the same time (via binds or manually) to switch to a larger player model, but then I remembered that not everyone has the Super Tailor option from the Science Booster, alas. That particular feature seems basic enough to the game that I dislike it being confined to a booster pack, but I guess that's how it is.

    They do. The White Dwarf, Bright Nova, Black Dwarf and Dark Nova that are also part of the Nictus faction.
    If they built a whole new model that looked the same but was colourable, maybe. But that would most likely be a pain for the guys who did it, most likely BaBs
  4. Don't forget Pocket D.
    Although (personally) Pocket D is more likely to attract tools. Y'know, the sort of person who thinks every characters name is over their head, and that any details in their biog they have and INSTANT right to know.

    Still, Pocket D and Galaxy Girl are the two best bets. Redside sadly doesn't have a meet point, except Pocket D and Supergroup bases.
    Galaxy Girl is good, although people do tend to run if not plot then stuff that relates to the other characters there. So, be patient if you don't get instant recognition there =] took me a few visits to get 'in' =P
  5. I'm all for change. Especially if it helps fix stuff up with Stone armour as a whole. I really want to give the set ago, but keep getting put off =[

    Go for it BaBs, I say. After I16, anyone who doubts should be diagnosed for cranial rectal reversal disorder
  6. Funny how different people see the Phalanx and the Patrons differently. (I'll stay out of the philosophy, I like philosophy but I'm not quite that deep )

    Personally, I quite like the Phalanx, or at least the ones we see a bit of. How would You like being one of the most powerful psykers in the world? A migraine probably means a whole lot more when you pick up other peoples too. Manticore is a lot more 'no nonsense' while still being a decent guy at heart. Statesman? He's half the reason that Super Villains even really exist. How'd that make anyone feel? Damn old, probably.

    As for the Patrons, well; Mako is evil. Like, unlikeably evil. Nothing gave me more satisfaction than breaking a few more teeth Ghost Widow? Feel sorry for her, and Scirrocco although I haven't run his arc yet. Scorpion is the more typical thug, loyal to Recluse while he gives him high-tech and stuff to fight.

    Recluse himself? He owns the entirety of the Rogue Isles, has an army at his disposal, and eminates an aura of badass. Envy much

    Sewer Layout

    Hmm, ideas for my own SG now. I could really use more prestige, but hey ho Nice job

    Also, for ideas, get on a sewer mission. Seriously, especially the end room with the big block of stuff in the middle, usually where the boss is. That has a couple of stacked and combined items we have in the bases.
  8. They should make Bank missions on both sides re-runnable. As in, once you've done all of them once, the final one starts cycling. So, for Villain side (the one I know best) once you have completed Peregrine Island Bank, the cycle starts. Atlas, Kings, Skyway, etc. That way you're not forced into 'get it all while you can'

    Seriously, though...given the two sides of the Rikti, Traditionalists and Restructurists, it would be epic to have a Rikti AT. Especially given Going Rogue and all the posibilities that entails...

    Y'ever hear this sort of 'whoosh' noise, going by overheard?
    Is it a bird, a plane? Nope.

    I'll give you a clue. Starts with S

    This is why I laugh and/or eyeroll at people refusing to go to the Hollows until they have a Kings Row travel pack.
    Seriously, Hollows should be mandatory*, just so they know how it feels to run from mob after mob of bad guys, pelted with super-heated plasma, lead, and the odd rock.
    Hell, back in the day it was just lead and rocks from Trolls and Outcasts. Now you get pelted by all kinds of junk.
    But you have a hospital, and a trainer! You rooks don't know how good you got it!

  12. Come to Union...we have tons of it ^^
    Oh, and cookies. The dark side always get cookies
  13. AE Farming teams =///= Normal teams

    Any statistics people might bring up for them are irrelevant when comparing one to the other. Seriously.

    Stalkers, as are all ATs are not 'perfect'. No AT is 'perfect'. It's a little thing called balance. Besides, it entirely depends on who is playing the stalker and how they have made it, because I've seen a few stalkers within the group I play with a lot that can slaughter entire spawns before the Brutes even got near. And vice versa. Its the same with any AT, it matters more on the player.

    Which people won't be able to get to if they don't pay for GR, GG. Making your arguement there rather a moot point =P

    I do hope they do revamp the old Praetorian missions because, let's be honest, they are SO dull. Kill all, kill all, kill all....anyone else say [Scrapperlock] ?
  15. Any idea or video of what the old kick WAS?
    *is too young for this stuff* =P
  16. God, Tyrant makes States look like a wuss =P come on, that armour looks fabulous.
    As for the femme fatals...Heh
  17. @ Vanden;
    I can see it's Vandal who's getting duked, but which power set is that? Or is it customised? Very cool, but cannot think what the hell it is! XD
  18. Many many thanks to Nivviene for sorting that out ^^ -glee-
  19. What the others have said.

    Now, had this been suggesting to put more emotes and costumed goodness in packs, well...

    Uh, Nivviene, thanks for getting back and all, but either you weren't clear on how I should set the email out, or you got it wrong.

    First choice I put down was 'Techbot Alpha'. Given the only other person who contested the name had 4 posts and was last logged in in 06....uh... =[
  21. I'm the illigitimate child of mad science and pinacle technology, I left a good sized Crey lab in ruin the day I was made, and I've put the hurt on every do-gooding cape stupid enough to come within range of me and Tau Team.

    Oh, and let's not forget Reason. Yes, I have Reason. She's a nine gigaton, space-bound Railgun with remote targetting capabilities. Say hello, Reason.
    BwuaahahahahahHAHAHAHA!

    *ahem*
  22. I know, GG. I sent the email to get it changed to 'Techbot Alpha'. That was on Friday, or something.
    Apparently this was quite fast...pity I didn't notice this until later on.
  23. Well, no idea how long this might take. Emailed using the address I use on my masteraccount, set it up like it said it should be on the first page.
    Oh well -sits back to wait-

    Sure, I could start a new account and move to the NA side. But losing all the toons I love, losing all the effort I put into them, losing 48 months of vet rewards I am attached to, not to mention all those packs I bought, I have all but the last two.

    Now I could go and abandon it all to play on the NA servers, having to pay again for the privilege of playing this game To be honest I rather start playing CO then star again from scratch.

    I would love to get access to those 11 extra servers though.
    Grinning, Noooooooooooo!

    You can't leave us! D=

    Well, you can, at least until you get to the door where we then tie you up and burn you
