Yaaaay happy birthday!

Yeah I realized that the op was euro - but we DID also just have this discussion about what, 3 weeks ago as well?

Suffice to say that it was a MESSY situation that led to this section going from the upper parts of the forum area, to the nethers. Some folks would take that way too literally lol.

I had been using blue the entire time I've been on before the switch. But I can't STAND how it looks now, at least unless they've changed it in the last couple weeks? I use red now. It's a bit easier on the eyes, I think.

Welcome to 2+ years ago

I have to concentrate on not using the Tribal belt option. I just love it. I wish there were accents on the shoulders which matched it.

I wonder if anyone's ever survived their first whole encounter with them? They are tough, indeed.

And I had this great idea, stop me if you've heard it, "search feature"!

Everything you mention has been brought up a bunch. Check first Not that they're not fun or anything, but... mostly have either been shot down entirely (statues, pvp) or aren't really necessary (more powerful than the rikti, try a task force or two), or just... have been suggested to death (alien planet).

Don't people already HAVE twitter and such? ... I think this qualifies as "shiny but tmi".

To whoever just ranked me negative with the quote "I disapprove" .... You disapprove of my not having an issue with this area? Wha? It's not like I'm making anyone else's game worse by *not having this issue* myself... Sorry if I was unaware, as I only have *my own ingame experience to rely upon*...

No, I've only been role playing for going on 25 years tabletop and have written plenty of fanfic of my own characters from this game.

I don't actually see ANY connection between the restrictions and your being bothered at farming, really - costume equipment is hardly ever something that I know is heavily "farmed for". I've helped one friend gather eyeballs for the Rularuu weapons, and that was *fun*.

Costumes are what make most characters unique.

And like I said: I *undersand* your opinion. I don't *share* it.

I like a story to have you thinking about what you missed, when you get to the end, and realize that it was all there and you just didn't realize it.

Fight Club - perfect example. The first time you "see" this alternate personality emerge you almost miss it. I had to actually rewind the tape (yes, I have it on TAPE) to make sure, no I didn't just imagine that. By the end of the movie, you DO know what's going on, but it's still marvelous that you should have known if only you think.

One or two of the Sin City collections (though it's been years since I've read em and can't recall which one I'm thinking of) the pacing of the detective work is flawless. Literally the page you realize what's happening is the one you're turning to see what you imagined right there on the next page.

But being dragged behind a tale, that's no fun. I've seen this happen more in pen and paper games where the GM either doesn't know what they're doing, or has some particular story to tell and whether you want to be there or not, you're going to witness it. I don't like those at all. Individually the sessions are fun - and if you're talking about COH/V missions, they can be too - but the end result is that I don't feel like I made *any* difference to that story.

We still get those same powers temporarily by earning them in the game though.

I think it's fair to use the examples of "Valentines day" and such, as why costumery and such should still be per-character. The character earned the temp power of the nemi staff. *I* earned the vet reward. I know, it's weak. But I'm still just a fan of having things that in-character, you'd earn apart from all your others. I mean - I will never USE the roman stuff on most of my toons - if I have a good idea, I'll get that character up in levels and get the reward for them. That my others have it already doesn't really matter to me - but I do see the point. I just like earning them separately.

And yet, in the game world, you can't possibly come up with a REASON why your first character got that doodad, and then subsequent ones also have it. Anything that goes on a character like that should be earned individually. We get better perks like vet powers account wide.

I do agree about the gladiators however, that doesn't seem to make much sense since "you" aren't really playing - it's a pokemon tournament lol.

If they added a tremendous amount of transparent "siding" to them... perhaps it wouldn't look SO bad, do you know what I mean?

If you look at some of the capes particularly you see it, and also the edge of the trenchcoats. The "gaps" in some areas are just transparent layering, the piece itself still is the same 'shape' as everything else of that sort. But... still, not good enough I think.

I'll live, though it'd be very nice to have front/back loincloth type things. buttcapes only on both the front and back, but I don't think they can do those because of the limited number of costume nodes available.

Without the skeleton, none of the animations are even possible. So, yeah. Not too likely even if that IS how they did it in another unrelated game engine.
