    i ask cause i don't see it up in the notes that they changed it since my chars currently use both as a costume. if its just a glitch that happend with the patch when might we get a fix?

    if its not then i guess i will have to wait for a 2nd costume on my lowbies to change the power colors since i like the look of the veil and bolero together.

    *bows* sorry to have bugged you all
    They've done their level best to eliminate instances of double-animated costume parts. No capes with bolero, no veils with capes, &c. They missed one or two but I'm not going to out them because I like the look and want to be able to customize those powers. I already have one character who's "stuck" because she got in before they locked wings+bolero and another with cape+bolero, so they will become my "default powers" suits and I'll just customize my others.

But u get to see all the animations of all the powers as well which is cool.

    Can't you change the colour of the actual power buttons on the toolbar or is it only the power animations themselves?
    You can't change the icon colors. HOWEVER, someone around here has a link to the Vidiotmaps.com icon fix pack. It doesn't let you recolor your powers either, but does make the graphics/borders consistent and recolors certain powers (temp/vet/premium powers)
    For instance, the Mac Pack Mission 'porter, the Mystic Fortune, and the Self Destruct all are now bright road cone orange. Elusive Mind (the psi def/res accolade shield from Rikti Invasions) is now fuschia instead of blue, and so on.

    I agree - Frickin' laser beams would be awesome, but a nicer solution was referenced just a few posts up... LANDSHARKS!

    Some particulars are left out of certain sets (no yellow ice patch, no bloody ice...). People will whine but then that's better than the alternative

    I can see why no yellow ice, but what's wrong with red ice?

    [/ QUOTE ]

    We want ice to look like 'ice' and because of how the FX were created when you apply a very saturated, non-cool hue to them they no longer look like ice and instead look like a cartoonish jewel.

    Even saturated greens turn ice FX into emeralds, so we've had to desaturate the hues as they move away from the cool cyans/blues.

    There's still reds, oranges, yellows, etc...but they're desaturated tints.
    I appreciate the thought process behind this but I must protest the change; Users may want to have their saturated crystalline armors until you can do something about Granite Armor, besides, what about people with Popsicle powers?
  6. When I16 hit test initially it was the old way; they had to scramble to implement a block for it. There was no "beforehand."
  7. How about a Big Orange Word saying "PHASED" if you try to hit someone Intangible?

    No. THE coolest bug was in i14 BETA when Arcanville found one that when you killed two Malta Titians in the MA you would merge into the the Zeus Titian!

    Or something like that.

    *summons Arcanville*

    That's not an animation bug

    YES IT IZ

    [/ QUOTE ]

    I think what he means is that if you had a Hercules class titan as an ally, and its health got low, it would merge with YOU and KILL YOU, forming a Zeus class titan.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Yep, that was the bug. Basically, a Herc merge kills both Hercs and spawns a Zeus. In the MA there was a bug where a Herc ally would consider you an eligible merge partner, and if it got low in health it would merge with you, which would kill you and leave a Zeus standing in your place.

    The best part of the bug: during the merge, the Herc would turn towards you and backflip onto you, while you turned towards the Herc and waved your hands at it.


    Also, the summon works better with all three A's.

  9. Oh well that's nice.
    My wife's not gotten her 15 month rewards.
  10. Someone more experienced than I should really update the claws/regen guide with IO data.
  11. Hey, my wife and I made it into a couple of these, neato. (I'm the demon on the high left that someone pointed out resembles Raziel from Legacy of Kain. Whoops. And my wife is the short-shorty in purple leather with purple pigtails down in front.) Virtue represent!
  12. Citation needed on the magic carpet ride.

    Uh, what? They're in there, you just have to console the emote after you're flying.
    WTF are you smoking?
  14. Ex, I understand you asked and the PTB said "No," but there are those among us who would like a more...technical... explanation if there is one to be had. This is not the only way currently available to players to have two animated pieces (like trench/cape/veil/whatever) and having run these "exploits" if they can be called such has never visibly impacted my system.
    Another voice in the chorus: It's not a bug, it's a FEATURE.
  15. My local store doesn't have it. What's the redname word on getting this in the online store?
  16. So they're hiring a Powers guy? CASTLE GOT [censored] NOOOO!
  17. EDIT: DISREGARD THAT, I EAT ROCKS. I was in SG mode and hadn't set my colors.
  18. Worked for me last week too. I actually burned a respec because of this guide, and it was a great choice.
  19. So that was the 85 meg update I just saw come down? I looked and didn't see any patch note.s
  20. Interesting ideas at play here. I hope he updates it for current issues, especially IOs.
  21. I don't suppose you could copypaste your bindfile for all to see (and rip off shamelessly?)

    Pardon the "noob' question, but what, praytell, is a "Badge Grant"?

    [/ QUOTE ]
    Every year on the anniversary of the City launch, they grant a badge to all players who login that day. Apparently the Rikti code will conflict with that. I guess they have a block of "Code du Jour" which would be one, or the other, but not both.
  23. I sure hope someone updates the other NRG^2 guides. Yusaku's one is helpful, but I don't aim to Blap that much, so I don't know how much of her guide will work for me.
  24. Hey Monkey King. OTOH, bigger teams mean more people share kill credits, leading to faster badging.
