Here's the the truth, I bet: they're both mutants, with Desperate Guy having been born with ability to crank out hokey one-liners, while Turndown Girl has the ability to automatically rebuff anything said to her.

Despite the apparent friction they have while out clubbing, they're actually a loving couple, happily married at that. They just don't have effective control over their mutant powers.

If the developers set the precedent that the Players themselves can dictate how many or how few players are needed for any particular task or event, the player base will immediately respond by demanding that every other particular task or event with a specific-number-of-players-required-limitation have that specific-number-of-players-required-limitation removed.

Whether or not you, or Leandro likes it, the developers have to stick to their guns when it comes to minimum players in a task or event.

If that means shutting down a in-progress trial that has dropped to 11 players from 12? Well, sorry, them's the breaks.

Here's my suggestions:
* A beret with long hair. Or any hat, really, that doesn't enforce a buzzcut.
* A proper china dress
* Proper zettai ryouiki! That is: Tall stockings that nearly reach, but do not disappear into, the "Flared" Skirt length. True 'Absolute Territory'.
* A design for boots that simply puts a thin colored highlight line at the top.
* Hairbows and ribbons. Hairstyles that incorporate ribbons.
* Long single tails, twintails, and braided tails for both genders. Chinese Shao Lin monks are men with braided ponytails, so it stands to reason.
** Of course, this last one would be better if a suitable 'Long Hair' system is implimented, which is discussed in another thread of mine.

Not-quite-related
* Pistols and assault rifles should change the sound effect used if you change the gun. A Mac 10 submachine gun doesn't have even remotely the same sound as a magnum revolver.

To paraphrase the post in question: the armour was designed with 50s and Incarnates in mind and it would be insulting to the artists who put so much work into making them for them to be available anyway else.

Which is why I'm not even bothering to unlock either set. Great suggestion but shot down already.

Edit - Posi said it here:

I am not familiar enough to know if she has displayed the powers of empathy, mind reading and/or any sort of telepathic link to others.

Psychics who do have such powers may be a bit overcome in such enormous situations, due to a sudden flood of panicked cries, thoughts and feelings of anguish from the large number of victims.

I am not saying anything about the pose or the face, nor any social commentary about the woman panicking and the male standing strong and resolute... I am just commenting on the concept of a psychic's possible reaction to such things. Some times, even, the more powerful a psychic is, the worse. I'm not saying that they can't compose themselves... or even keep themselves composed and functional the entire time... but they still often may have visible indicators of the emotions they are sensing from others.
It's a fun, and dramatic, aspect of psychic characters that I've seen in many works of fiction.

Anyway... just saw a lot of people scratching their heads about that specific aspect of the situation being depicted in that picture and was surprised that no one seemed to think of that angle.

Thanks for your feedback regarding the new loading screens. We are extremely excited about these panels you've been shown and are eagerly anticipating being able to show you the rest of the comic when Issue 21 launches. I have been speaking with Noble Savage, El Topo and Second Measure regarding some of your concerns, and we certainly understand some of the viewpoints being expressed in this thread.

A few things we can clarify really quickly:

• Back Alley Brawler is being illuminated by a gigantic fiery meteor of doom, which at it's position is akin to being a light source as bright as the sun. As such the lighting has a bit of a bright orange hue to it, which has been saturated to an extent. There's definitely no intent of changing skin tone.
  
• Sister Psyche's expression is one of both shock and fear, which we consider an appropriate reaction to an apocalyptic storm of death and destruction hurtling at her from above. As a member of the Freedom Phalanx, nothing short of a world threatening event could evoke this kind of reaction from her.

The above being said, we have been paying attention to your thoughts. We'll be making some very subtle adjustments to the image which address these concerns while still preserving its artistic integrity.

We're very excited to be exploring this new artistic direction with City of Heroes Freedom. This style of comic book is something that's considered new and cutting edge to many comic book enthusiasts and we're stoked to be leading the way among Super Heroic MMO's in evolving our style to embrace it.

Give the writer of that one a raise. But give whoever came up with that Keye's Island mess a demotion. If its the same person I guess those two things cancel each other out.
