  1. I'd still prefer the original look, but I'd take this over the first revamp any day. My only complaint is the extreme spikiness of the Death Mage and the bright pink belt. Pink just doesn't say body-snatching-cultist to me.

    Still, great work, art-department-people!

    I heard that called the Hollows Express, way back when.

    Let's see if I can't refine the question a tad:

    If you completely ignored the game's plot, would your characters and their actions still make sense in the game's existing setting?

    If a piece of story required your character to feel a certain way or perform a certain action that goes against their concept, what would you do about it?
    I'm not really sure how to answer that, since plot really creates settings. Most of my characters care, to a greater or lesser extent, although only one couldn't really exist outside the game world as defined; that one being the result of Shivan goo bonding to a fresh corpse, losing her memories as a result and being re-taught by Longbow.
  4. ...and hasn't for a while.

    It's not bound to anything, although that shouldn't make a difference when a text field has focus. I'm using an old keyboard, a Dell AT101W.
  5. A friend has asked me to say that the Steambra and the corset clip with the trenchcoat.

    (No, this friend doesn't live in my head.)
  6. First of all, thanks for passing along our concerns.

    I'm a little confused about the idea that making an entirely new costume piece is easier than modifying a male coat into a female coat. Standard Design Rant applies, of course.

    I really hope the design team will consider adding things to previously released packs.
  7. Nthing the gender proliferation requests.
  8. ...What am I supposed to be seeing with the new-face-tech picture?
  9. The tag and other searches should now look more distinct.
  10. Thanks, Whisper. I'm going to look into your suggestions.

    I did intend for people to be able to upload without logging in, for ease-of-use. However, newly-uploaded costumes won't be visible to guests until I check that the associated images are appropriate.
  11. The website should be working now.

    Sorry about the lack of link, I forgot that that was an option.
  12. I've developed a site for showing off your costumey goodness. It's still awfully new, and I could use more sets of eyes on bugtesting. Any suggestions for new features are welcome, too.

    Here's the link.

    Thanks

  13. I have a dark/kin corruptor who's a lot of fun to play. Dark blast is pretty low damage, but the -to hit is a big help if you're building for defense. Transfusion adds to your survivability while you peck them to death. If you've never played a kin before, though, be aware that Speed Boost only lasts 2 minutes. Reapplying it can be tedious.

    Here's the build I'm using right now. With Mace Mastery, you can hit the S/L/M softcaps.

    I realize there is no perfect solution, and that the Europeans probably have more to gain by the merger than the North Americans, but I would consider it more fair to have the decision based on vet reward levels.

    I know it's been said before, but the devs might be counting responses so I wanted to chip in.
    I would hate to think I cost someone their global because it matches my long-lapsed second account. Hopefully support will change it for me.

    This. The current setup is far too limiting.
  17. Very cool!

    To clarify, you have to click the costume change after the third Phantom has spawned. The color change only affects the powers, not the aura.
  18. Nthing the sentiment in here - Grackle got me my lost attachments back. ::cheers::
  19. The female Small Padded Glove used to be missing a pad on one hand. Could we have that back please please please?

    Ah, sorry 'bout that.

    His name is Haurinca. He's a mind/psi dom, but his powers don't produce visible effects. Doesn't really go for the flashy poses.
