    I don't mean create and play. I just mean create, just to see what he would look like. I am well aware of the EULA rules. I could try to check it out myself, but my gaming computer is in the shop, getting a hard drive transplant.

    Out of curiousity, has anybody tried to make a Silver Surfer clone in the creator? I suddenly remembered the 2nd Fantastic Four movie and realized SS was pretty much reflectively shiny.

    Trailer from the movie

    You'll see that he reflects.

    Hello Guardian

    *tsk, tsk*

    I grew up with the generation that had The Beatles, Rolling Stones, and The Monkees.

    My thoughts on the 'non-reflective' black and/or dark colors in-game is this: It could be possible that this is an unforeseen side effect of Ultra Mode. Or it could be the first step to a better Ultra Mode. In any case, I wouldn't hinge my gaming experience on this. It would be nice if we had everything, but it would need to be one step at at time.

    I still stand by my theory of the pasted transparent pictures on the reflective surfaces. I have plenty of real world items (like my black coffee maker) that reflect, but this is an artificial world we're dealing. It's defined by the program which we play with. Hopefully, the devs have seen this thread, and have somebody checking around for possibilities of a solution.
  5. I don't suppose Pepsi's ability to reproduce himself into a milyun tiny pepsis have anything to do with this?

    I'm back

    I'll be back soon.

    Right now, my computer is in the shop, getting a hard drive transplant.

    Other than that, it's all good.

    I do like the fact that Guardian is not an insanely high population. I like the 'small town' feel of this server.

Some areas might be imperceptibly a little greyer, but really, it's just black. Of course, setting my costume to white turns it into a mirror, but that's kind of besides the point, because white isn't what I wanted.

    Which is kind of odd, really, considering white objects in real life tend to not be as reflective as black objects. Those funny people who make custom cars always complain about how black cars need to to be perfectly smooth, or the black paint's reflection will highlight every defect. I don't know what the system for reflections actually is, but it seems like it's another one of those subtractive systems that, starts off of white and then adds colour to it, so if you start off of black, black is all you get.

    Considering environment reflections don't seem to work well for me in building windows, it's kind of disappointing that I can only get reflections I can see with bright colours.
    I can understand why you're disappointed about dark colors not reflecting like the light or bright colors. Speaking as a silk screen printer, I'm thinking it's because the dark colors don't do well reflecting because they're dark. What's going on is that the reflections are really transparent pictures being 'pasted' on dark colors. In order for reflections to show up, there would have to be a light colored underlay to make them more opaque. Now I will freely admit that I know absolutely nothing about programing computers and such, but this is the only thing that makes sense to me.

    You have my permission.
  12. Well, I've been toodling around in beta, playing my Demon Summoning/Pain Domination Mastermind, Ra'Bath. I got her up to lvl 24. I soloed mostly so I could check out the game in Ultra Mode. Sadly, my computer has its' limitations, so I couldn't play in Ultra Mode. However, I could 'see' it in Ultra, so I took some shots.

    That's my contribution.

    For now.
  16. 42 month vet here. @Blacjac84 is my global. I'm not playing this game very much until Going Rogue goes live. Been trying to broaden my horizens in the MMO field with Aion and Star Trek Online. Guardian is my main server, but I can be found on Justice and Liberty. I have my own SG and VG, but I'm willing to join in a coalition.
