  1. Not looking forward to seeing cow skulls everywhere.

    Some neat Ideas, but the demon things are quite a bit ovedone.

    Love the whip effects.
  2. I'm hoping they keep the incarnate lore unintrusive enough that a player can explain the incarnate powers as their character's own superpowers.

    Actually, I'd rather a global sound nerf on hasten!

    I've had time at wentworths, where multiple toons standing on all sides of me, busy at the brokers, all of them with hasten.
    Then the sounds go off, one after the other, like someone hopped into a giant ravine, stuck a loudspeaker on his hands, and let hasten go off.

    BoOooROOOOooOOOOOooOOOOooIIiiiiiiirrrRRReeeeiiiiiiiiiiiii

    Sure I could turn the sound off. But I like playing with the sound on, I shouldn't have to switch it off for 1 thing that bugs me.
    I wish there was an option just to turn off the sound for hasten, lol.
    Hasten has an irritating sound, yes. But look!

    The thread that saved my sanity.

    Can not wait to hopefully be able to turn off the hasten visual effect someday though.

    Would You Buy...

    I'd slap down money for base boosters for sure, if they made sure not to be too scroogy with the ammount of goodies.

    I like this idea!
    Too late, they would need to enable refunds at this point if they changed it. I'm suspecting plenty bought the pack with the current functionality in mind when they heard how neat it is. A bait and switch of that magnitude would be met with some pretty fierce drama, yikes.
  7. Walks look great! Female walk looks pleasingly feminine, male walk looks male. Nice suprise out of the blue.

    Can we keep it?

    Yeah, it is actually kinda sad that it is, oh no, Deadly Apocalypse, run! But wait.. if you ignore it... it just quietly goes away.

    Decidedly un-apocalypse.

    I do appreciate the effort of the Devs trying to give us something new while development resources are tight. But the Deadly Apocalypse could certainly use some tweaking, yeah.
  9. Costumemode: Gives more than 5 costume slots.

    Costumemode2: Lets any costume part be used with any costume part. Yay! Tails with robes!

    Marine Boy Intro

    He was sooo cool! He breathed underwater via "oxygum", had underwater vehicles, propulsion boots, thowing explody thingys, a tame dolphin and a cute mermaid friend. What wasn't there to idolize?

    It's all about suspension of disbelief.
    I will always have a special place in my heart for that show. Marine Boy fueled my imagination hugely when I was 5 years old, great stuff. Big thumbs up.

    Underwater?

    Just gimmie a swimming pool to put in my base, that allows swimming like in that Cimerora mission, and all is well. Please.
  12. Once Mastermind pets can have speech bubbles with /petsay again, they may have a chance at being worthy of such hubris.

    Disappointed

    The graphical updates are pretty neat, but the whole time I'm wondering..

    The water might have new reflections but...

    Are the oceans still only 3 feet deep?

    Overall though, the expansion has me quite excited.
  14. I'd like to be able to adjust hands and feet size, leg and arm thickness independant of the main body, torso width. Stuff like that pertaining to the character models.

    A few more character model polygons so that when a character crouches to rest for example, one doesn't see jagged knife edged angles at the hip that could jab someone. more polygons might fix seeing breasts on the females that look like cardboard boxes or polygon balloons.

    But overall, I like the graphics as is. Right now things seem fairly crisp and good, without overlagging somewhat older machines like a few friends of mine have. I'm willing to forget my above wishes if the performance cost would be too much. I can upgrade my computer a bit more even, but many can't, and it might not be worth it.

    If they can "graphically update" and still let those who like things as is stay that way, and let people with heftier gaming computer specs take advantage of the new stuff at the same time, then maybe.

    Double experience is later this week for 4 days, starting thursday, so it wouldnt be until after that. My guess would be the halloween event would start around 19th or 20th.

    Then my Masterminds are dead to me. Good to know that it is intended, I can stop checking every patch notes with hope about this issue. Arg.
  17. Yes, whomever decided on the details of super sidekicking, and getting it into our hot hands is a Genius.

  19. I stopped playing my masterminds back when speech bubbles stopped working for my pets, just felt like the flavor was missing after that. Just can't get back into 'em while they are "muted".

    Yeah, a small thing to many probably, but it bugs me. Someone that is going to HeroCon pounce a dev and beg, will ya?
  20. The Ski Chalet has such a wonderful vibe to it, it was really designed well. I always look forward to December's CoH gaming just for it.

    I'm glad it is only around once a year though so that it remains something special to look forward to in game.
  21. The new super sidekicking combined with the new field analyst settings have given a huge boost to enjoyment factor for me.

    Throw in the great start to power customisation, and I16 is wonderful to me. Big thumbs up.

    Just wanted to throw a positive reaction into the mix here.
  22. The main reason I'll not play Champions is the no unique names feature they have. If they do that here, instant uninstall. Just one person's personal preference, but thought I'd cast my vote anyway, as seeing the suggestion to remove the restriction gave me a gross feeling, ick.
  23. I'm very glad to hear you are updating your planner, yay! Unfortunantly, I'm not in position to get around to testing it today. But thanks much and welcome back.
  24. I'd love to be able to retain the overall shape and look of a character after turning on Granite Armor,
    sounds great!

    Note, I do not already have a stone tank to have become attatched to the current granite look, but that is because I never wanted to make one because of the current granite look, a change would cause me to finally use stone armor on a character creation.

    People that already have a stoney probably should have more weight in their vote I suppose, but I'd still love to be able to not turn into a stone clone of every other granite armor using character if I decide to make one myself.
