Quote:The Tights Sleek texture, applied to boots, makes them blend almost seamlessly with the Excess Plus bottom, creating the appearance of boots that reach all the way to the knee (and, on the outside, slightly past the knee) instead of just below the knee, where the actual boot-meets-leg seam is. Ignore the upper-thigh area of the Excess Plus bottom, it's not important - all about where the knees meet the calves. As there is no Excess Plus boots pattern, I deemed this useful for making costumes that look like the parts are supposed to go together.Originally Posted by Henri
i don't get this one, other than to prevent excess chaffing on a morning run... please enlighten my insane membrane

I, like many, like the new Skulls except for the Pocket D hair.

Quote:No, it wouldn't take them any extra time - but cycling it back into the tier 9 VIP rewards means they can't use that space for things nobody has bought yet. I doubt it will ever be available by reward token again; the idea of random codes (which are, of course, ridiculously hard to get, but their usual method for giving people "special" things) seems much more likely.Originally Posted by Kitsune Knight
It's doubtful that 'rereleasing' it would take any extra time for the art team (the guys that make all the t9 VIP items... at least the ones made so far), if they simply cycle it back in. It seems that's not what they want to do, though. I think the main problem is they've not really decided how they want to bring it back... whether back as a t9 item, putting it up for sale on the market, or some other means.
I could see them waiting a bit longer, for after Tech Knight is out for a while (and Fire & Ice have been out of circulation for a bit), and then announcing a special weekend/week event where Celestial and Fire & Ice will be brought back at the T9 VIP items for the duration, before going back to Mecha and Tech Knight (or waiting another cycle before doing it). They could even position it right between when sets are cycled, so that before they add Tech Knight, they take down Fire & Ice, and put Celestial in its place for short period of time, then put up Tech Knight (although, again, if they're doing that, I'd figure they'd wait a bit longer before cycling back).
If the Devs keep adding new T9 VIP items, eventually they'll end up with a large collection of unavailable costumes... I can't see them simply sitting on them and doing nothing. They may or may not cycle them back, but I'm sure we'll see them again (hell, they could do what they're doing with Shark Week, and have a little fun event and hand out random codes to players for part/the full set as rewards). Soon, though, doesn't seem likely. -
Yep, just a reskin of something we already have... shouldn't be hard to allow, right? And it would help alleviate the problem of there being absolutely zero western-type wizardy arcane robes...

I don't have my hopes up that it will ever be re-released, when the devs could instead be dedicating their time and resources to make something new, that EVERYONE hasn't bought yet, and release that instead.

Is this the thread where I beg for this robe to me bade available to players?
-
I'm glad someone appreciates them and hope they are useful to people!
One that I knew about for a long time but forgot in previous posts: The female "Metal" top-with-skin, when used in conjunction with something that covers the torso but leaves the neck bare (in this case, the Victorian corset - various jackets and robes also work), makes a fancy necklace.
-
Further investigation on the first, how-to-strap-your-armor-to-yourself image has given me a solution to the issue of the male Leather Straps top not being available to females: the Chaos Leather top also has straps in all the right places.
Addendum: One more further discovery, that I forgot - combining the Straps top-with-skin pattern and the Gunslinger corset makes things even racier by drawing more attention to the underboob.
...yes, I am from Virtue. No, I do not actually use this costume.
On a less pocket-D note, I also found that the Tights Sleek texture matches the Excess Plus texture very well, letting you do this with boots:

Quote:Gorilla could have used a humanoid rig with appropriately adjusted sliders and Beast Run.Originally Posted by Thunder Knight
The four-legged rig they have is made for canine bodies and can be used (albeit in a way that looks a little "off" to an actual cat-owner like me) for feline bodies. It won't work at all for just any four-legged animal. Making a bear or a rhino or a gorilla would require making an entirely new skeleton from scratch.
Which isn't to say it'll never happen, but it's not possible right now. -
It'd be better than the wolf, I agree.
I still think it's a pity the final pet wasn't a rhinoceros or a silverback gorilla, but eh, nothing for it now :\ -

I like the "Locator Device" idea.
I LOVE the "Enhanced Senses pool" idea. Lots of opportunity there to make a tracker like Wolverine, a detective like Batman....
Let's not stop at the A-listers people already know, guys! -
I oppose this idea, because it means I wouldn't have softcapped defense to smashing and lethal on my Midnighter character anymore, because he relies on Scorpion Shield.
What? As if I wouldn't be obligated to respec! -
YAY MY IDEAS ARE GOOD ENOUGH TO STEAL AND MAKE INTO A WHOLE NEW THREAD
Ironik: There is a picture - the hyperlink in my name takes you to the post he was stealing. For the sake of convenience, here:
Other nice things I have discovered/used - blast goggles line up beautifully with the Valkyrie mask helmet detail, for a nice full-face gas mask:
The Celtic 2 chest emblem lines up beautifully with the over-shoulder mantle:

I hope this appears on beta soon. I want to play with power pool customization!

A friend has a KM/Regen scrapper named Wavebreak who I believe has been rerolled now as a blaster (though possibly not yet, I know it was planned). I have a Dark/Storm corruptor named Seasquall that I'm thinking of rerolling, but I would miss the tentacles too much.

Ion cannon strike, please. Drop a summon patch, beam of light comes down from above and does energy damage and knockdown in that area. If War Walkers can use their "orbital" powers indoors, then I should be able to do it too!

What has always driven me nuts and made me ask why, the really limited color palette. Let me play with RGB values to my heart's content.

I wouldn't mind at all. Other people having to pay for what I got free doesn't bother me in the slightest.

Quote:I'm sorry, I still don't see how that couldn't be divided into several different pieces that fit together but are usable independently... and we have plenty of HUUUGE costume parts already.Originally Posted by Samuel_Tow
I don't think this applies to PPD and IDF, though, since they're not divisible into pieces. They're all one solid piece that goes all around the neck. I'm honestly not sure why that's a problem, myself - BABs cited clipping - but I'd really love to have some of those. And that's what Integrated Shoulders are - a one-piece item that covered the chest, shoulders and back.
For instance, say I wanted to make a Terran Marine. That chest piece they wear is not divisible into separate components. You can take the shoulder pieces out, yes, but you're still left with a piece that fits all around the body. To a large extent, that's what Resistance, PPD and Olympian Guard do, but notice what else this does that those don't - it extends around the shoulders, up behind the head and then goes almost over the head entirely. That is, more or less, what Black Scorpion is wearing - essentially, Terminator Armour. THIS is what I want to have. In fact, I want this even more than I wanted the bubble helmet, and I wanted that a lot. When I say "integrated shoulders," I don't just mean shoulders, chest and back. I also want to see a variant that has the actual helmet integrated into the chest piece like it would be on an astronaut space suit, which is more or less what that Terran Marines are based on. You can't duplicate this with separate shoulder, chest, back and backpack options, at least not unless they're HUUUGE! -

It's Steve "Steel" Canyon, the hero that the zone was named after. You can tell by the aviator goggles.

Quote:No, I would think the unitard-with-shoulders, at least the parts above the waist, would work just fine using the existing Robe or Shirt tech, based largely on the smaller-but-same-idea shoulder area on the Terra robe.Originally Posted by Samuel_Tow
I actually think it would fall more under "Integrated Shoulders" as Champions Online called it. That's basically a whole solid unmovable piece that hangs on the shoulders, back and chest. Kind of like exactly what we're told multiple times we CAN'T have, which the Legacy Chain do and the PPD and the IDF and so forth.
Yeah, I'd like to have some of those.
As for PPD and Legacy Chain parts, I still don't see why those can't be given to players in the form of one chest piece and one shoulder piece that can be used either together or apart. The shoulder part and the chest part already exist separately from each other on NPCs, and the existence of the Imperial Dynasty, PPD, Samurai, etc. chest details already demonstrates that PC chest details can go over the shoulders and onto the back. -
The huge AOE defense bonus while hidden is to prevent you being knocked out of Hide by AOEs that are targeting someone else.

I am monitoring my combat attributes (specifically Smashing/Lethal defense) and it does not increase when I use Energy Drain.
EDIT: Tried again, it worked as intended this time and my buff bar displayed it properly. I wonder what was wrong before.
Further advice desired: I don't know if I need both Crane Kick and Eagle's Claw. If I take one but not the other, which should I take? -
My big question is about how Energy Drain works. I know it's supposed to give a defense bonus per guy it hits, but for me, it isn't - I right-click it in my active powers after I fire it in the middle of the mob, when it shows like eight stacks of it, but it still reads "0.00%" for all the defense bonuses it's supposed to give and my smashing/lethal defense that I am monitoring doesn't rise, even though the power info says it's supposed to give 0.38% per guy. Is CoH bugged, or am I doing something wrong?
Also, am I correct in the assumption that I should build for Smashing/Lethal defense? -
