Hmmm, no one is contributing to the mockups page -- why is that? Well, it's the Thanksgiving weekend (HAPPY THANKSGIVING CoH/V PLAYERS), so I'm going to be adding some more,...so stay tuned!

I think it should be called 'Little Black Book' and contain cell numbers and grant you the ability to call fateweavers/hero corps, facemaker/icon tailors, and VG/SG reps for paying base rent.

Fantastic Art
(as I look at my own empty art table with envy)!!!
-
Thanx gang!
-
Here's my take on War Witch!
More to come... -
It's called MOBILE ICON SHOP,...well that's what I want!
-
Here's Juniper!
I have been lazy, I still plan to do some ones with the Dev's avatars! -
There does appear to be a trend with the bulk of new costumes being primarily in booster packs! That may just be a necessary revenue stream that NCSoft/Paragon Studios need to take. I'm ok with that so long as we get pack like the one made available yesterday.
I would; however, like to see more flat textures added on a regular basis. More complex mods can remain the perview of the booster packs. -

SQUEEEEE! Imma design the costume today. I'm still not going to roll the toon until GR.. but YAAY! Now I'll have someone who can take over the Buccaneers! (I hope I don't burn myself out on Dual Blades..)
-
WOW, what a great job you guys did on this booster pack. I had to make a new toon and I have to share -- N'ZAN, (I couldn't think of another name at the time) :P
-
Oh it's been a while! This one I just knocked out on lunch break at work. I call her Syndra -- I guess she's a tech tank.
I want to do some more elaborate ones next. These will feature some of the Devs and there signature avatar like the one I did for Posi. -
Quote:I conceeded this and I was in error and I do apologize to BABs for that.
You are the one who sounds silly this time around. You don't need "armchair developers" to tell you something won't happen when the REAL developers told you, in no uncertain terms and beyond a shadow of a doubt, that it will NOT happen.
In my previous post I didn't say that BABs said it wasn't possible. I said that I thought it wasn't going to happen because what was needed to bring it to the game.Quote:What's more, he never said power customization wasn't possible or wasn't going to happen. He said, ideally, he'd love to have it, but it was so unlikely to happen as to be unthinkable. But apparently he was still pushing for it, and so it happened. This time around, he didn't say he wants to see this but is sorry it can't happen. He gave you a flat no. If you keep pushing, you might eventually get an explanation, but you will not get a different answer.
I too have stated as much in many posts even the ones on this thread.Quote:He has his prerogatives and it's ultimately his call. You're going to have to respect that.
I was trying to convince him that he should reconsider. I went about it the wrong way. My real frustration was at some of the posters here and on other threads. I was frustrated when I made my initial post and unfortunately it colored my response to BABs.Quote:Whatever his reasons, though, you're going to have to accept them, or convince him he should. Out and out telling him he should is not convincing.
I don't mind getting negative feedback. In my line of work you have to be able to accept criticism. I welcome it because it has helped me grow both personally and professionally.Quote:If you don't like getting negative feedback from other forum members then you shouldn't post in the suggestion forums. Simply send your suggestions to the devs via private message. The suggestion forums is where players debate the merits and flaws of an idea.
In the future I will direct my inquiries and comments to the Devs directly.
I stand by my previous statement because it's true.Quote:Stop blaming the players.] -
Admittedly, I misspoke about the "silly" reference and for that I'm sorry and I apologize to BABs for that! I do read the forum a lot but I can't read every post. It is the Devs job to know what they can or can't be done and I understand only a fraction of what can be done in a game like this. There's never really, at least in my opinion, a clear message about what can be done in this game until it actually goes live. I never thought we would have power customization and I posted quite a bit about wanting it in the game. When BABs explained the complexity of what it entailed, I let it go and didn't post about it further. Here we are with this feature now in the game, so I guess I expect a lot out of them and I'll keep expecting a lot from them because they've proven that they can accomplish a lot.
I must be blunt here, there are a lot of armchair devs on this forum and frankly I can't put any stock in what many of you say, even if it's accurate. Too many times here, you folks will jump down someone throat on a topic and are dead wrong. I've read so many post from new players asking questions and instead giving the information or how to acces the information themselves, the person is derided. Instead of being a teacher here -- you're more like a know it all bully. So pardon me if I don't take what any of you say at face value!!! -
I never said that BABs said that an underwater zone would be "silly" -- Samuel Tow said CO's underwater zone was silly. What I'm calling into question is why does BABs think that it will ultimately be stupid to do a zone such as that! I can think of all kinds of ways that zone could use existing mobs and new mobs created to inhabit the area. How the Portal Corp could be used for the zone. How the mythological origins of Statesman and Lord Recluse could play into the underwater content. New aquatic monsters to battle and undersea bases and cities that we players could explore. Granted it would be a lot of work for the Devs to do, but I sincerely think it would be a great addition to the game. Now, if the game can't support it that's fine, but if it can it should remain as a viable development option at a later date.
I apologize for insulting anyone, but lately, everytime I make a suggestion or offer a counterpoint, I get posts telling me that or inferring that I'm an idiot for it. Just because you don't agree with my point/opinion doesn't mean it's not valid. Just because some of you have made your points against an underwater doesn't mean I have to go along with it and vice versa. I haven't played CO's underwater content so I can't speak to it and it never came to mind when making my post. I'm only posting about this game and what I think a zone like that could lend to it. -
An underwater zone is not a silly idea. I was going to point out why it's not, but why bother! Some of you here, lack creativity and can't see how awesome a zone like that could be to our game. You're so quick to just shoot down an idea and throw a typical CO is crap response as answer (which wasn't mentioned at all). So let me just join the drone chorus and say, the Devs are gods and are going to ultimately to do what they want -- duh!

Quote:I never said that BABs or the any of the Devs were lazy, to the contrary, I've always defended them on that front when others have made that claim. I have stated in many posts that the Devs have done some awesome things in this game. Just because I'm critical at times doesn't mean I'm maligning them or their hard work!Originally Posted by Techbot Alpha
It's a matter of both.
Given BaBs just finished work on the ground work of Power Customisation, calling him anything like 'lazy' is quite insulting, really. The guy makes a lot of things in the game great. But great things take time, effort and resources.
The point that I'm making is that the Devs shouldn't be excluding ideas because they think they're lame or silly or simple they won't look right - they are definitely smart and capable folks and should be able to figure out how to make those things work! BABs may think an underwater zone is lame because of Aquaman, but there are players here that don't feel that way and I'm one of them. When I said if I was a Dev I would find a way to make the zone work, I meant that. I can think of lots of ways to make an underwater zone fun and I'm sure that BABs and the gang can come up with many more fun ways to make it great, provided they're not looking at it as lame! -
Sorry ST, but we play superheroes and villains that shot beams of energy from their limbs, that leap over buildings. If I was a dev, I'd figure out how to make the things I BABs shoots down doable and not look silly, ugly and or stupid. I don't have a problem with the devs saying they can't do something because of time and resource constraints, but to say that they're not going to do something because they perceive that it's silly, ugly and or stupid is something else, when you consider the genre this game is set in.

Hmmm,
Buster Sword: Doesn't look right when animated (or something like that)
Forcefield Mace: Talsorian weapons have no mass -- won't do it!
Swinging Travel Power: Looks silly with swingline coming out of nowhere!
Underwater Zone: Aquaman is lame!
BABs no offense, but I think instead of not doing these things and putting them down, the challenge for you guys should be to figure out how to implement them and make them interesting for players. You guys have done things that I didn't think you could pull off and I very impressed at how cool they are and how well you've implemented them! Your reasons for some of the things that you don't implement, doesn't fly when you consider that all of our toons pull weapons out of thin air. To now fall back on real world physical laws or because you think they're lame or silly to justify not adding a powerset/feature is kinda weak.
I think it's odd that you feel as strongly about an underwater zone when this game has waterbased characters such as Luska, Coralax, Sally, Captain Mako and those that are loosely associated with water like the Hydra. Whole new missions with the Coralax and Captain Mako could be made if there was an underwater area in the game where players could interact in a watery environment. I think it would be awesome to have to put a respirator on my toon and swim to an underwater base or city to combat an enemy!
BTW, what does Aquaman have to do with CoH/V anyway? :P -
Hey Gang!
My plan was to post 3 mockups this weekend, but I had a bit too much fun at the bar and well,...ahem... Well, here's OVER SEVER. This mockup is a mashup of 3 previous designs.
More to come. -
Quote:ThanxOriginally Posted by PowerStream
These are very cool. I vaguely remember the thread from before. I do remember thinking COH would be crazy not steal some of these designs. I'm not sure that some these can be done in this game, but Jay's awesome, who knows what he can pull off!!!
Update, I'll have more done this weekend. -
Quote:Yeah, it's Antimatter, but I like calling him Evil Positron -- like evil Homer!Originally Posted by Hericane
I think what Blpup was trying to point out that is that there's already a "Evil Positron." He's Anti-Matter from Praetoria. Each member of Freedom Phalanx and the Vindicators has an existing Praetorian
It's a cool design you have, but an Evil Posi has been taken already, unless the design you have is an update for Anti-Matter, he wouldn't be called "Evil Positron" then. -
That Positron is old school LOL! EVIL POSITRON (yes, all caps) has better control of the weak nuclear force and can create shapes with it!
-
Now that we have customization and soon to be Going Rogue, it's time for the Phalanx to become villains -- Here's EVIL POSITRON!
More to come...

Here is my avian controller/mastermind - AVIAH!
More to come!
