Sometimes I make slight edits or add a cape/aura later when the level is right but usually I have trouble making another costume for most of my characters unless they have a very specific theme to them. Like a character that has multiple "forms" or whatnot. For single concept toons I can rarely get the costume "better" and that may only because I just get used to what I first did and love it already. In those cases any new variation seems meh to me and I rarely use it.
Special occasions happen with new booster packs and the like - sometimes a total revamp will work in that case if the character concept and booster materials mesh really well. -
*taps thread*
This thing still on?
Hope you're getting better, Naz! -

Thanks!Quote:Originally Posted by Night_Hornet
That's a great piece, grats! Yeah, I was pleasantly surprised by the amount of detail he put into this one. I saw new stuff for quite some time each time I looked at it. Which was a lot yesterday. Totally made my Monday! I'm definitely going to do business with him again in the future.

Thanks for the comments guys!
Here is my newest Goblin Queen piece, this time from CelticBolt.
I really *love* the expression, pose, throne and especially the goblins! I just love everything about it!
We really need a way to customize MM pets already. Hehe. -
Goblin Queen is super cute. ♥ Thank you!

Well.. I couldn't really get into the mindset for this week's challenge and I feel like I missed the mark but I wanted to submit *something*.
I originally tried to do a play on Ultra and have the costume be solely pieces that used Ultra mode but it looked like a hot mess - I tried several combinations. Then I switched gears and played on the sense that I got where he was trying too hard to make it in Super society and is throwing together and outfit from stuff he found from home or a Target.
So I used some sports pieces, boxing pieces, single shoulder cape and tights with a simple pattern that highlights the U for ULTRA! I used some additional pieces that had a vaguely U shape to them to drive that point home. The colors are horrible but not quite as horrible as the original costume. I also made sure to use the cheesiest smile I could find.

I think Noble Savage doesn't actually decide how we get these items, whether it's in a game patch available at level 1, in a patch but unlockable via in game content or paid for in a booster. That's for producers, designers, marketing etc. to decide. Even if he does - I think we've heard both sides of the issue now. We don't want the precious art pieces getting lost in the debate do we?
Bringing it back on topic - I'd like to see the eye glows that Fir Bolg.
It's nice to have such a concise, contained glow that doesn't bleed into hats, behind the head, etc.
I'd also like to see the rusted/damaged skin for the Praetorian Clockwork along with the new faces shown in i19 (the skull like face) and the larger Clockwork parts (bigger gloves, etc.).
-
Congrats all. I can't wait to see these in game!
I mean it. Get them up now. Kthx.
:P -
I was surprised that the Open Gift emote from the Party Pack didn't have any sound associated with it. I kinda liked that sound from the Xmas versions of that effect/emote. I'd like to have that sound attached, wouldn't be much different than someone playing music emotes when it comes to noise pollution.
-
That newest piece is pretty epic. Congrats!

Quote:Agreed. I just wish it cost a little bit less too to reflect that. :POriginally Posted by White Hot Flash
I don't think anyone ever said the new Origins pack was supposed to be on par with the SUPER booster packs, which is what the original Origin-themed packs were. It's supposed to be less.

Quote:Agreed on the capes!Originally Posted by Bad_Influence
We also desperately needed new capes....
I think some are maybe forgetting the difference between a "booster" and a "SUPER booster." This pack is just a booster. I like super boosters too, but that's not what this is. It is also.
It's actually the same price as the super boosters - 9.99. I think that's where a lot of frustration is coming from. It should have been the same price as the Party Pack. Actually the Party Pack should have been 5.99 and the Origins pack 7.99 and Super Boosters 9.99 if I were to do the marketing.
I'm totally buying it but I personally feel it shouldn't be the same price as a Super Booster. There should be a price point difference between normal and super, IMO. -

One thing struck me as kind of odd though (not anything wrong just unusual)... I've seen plenty of fiery eyes but not ever a nose flame before.
Was that intentional? Funnily enough I have a fire blaster with the face that looks like a bear and when he does breath of fire the animation makes the fire stream come out his nostrils.I actually cracked open photoshop and removed the flame from the nose and took care of the shading under the hat to fill in where the flame was. The updated pic is above. I like it better now.Quote:Originally Posted by Goblin_Queen
Haha, no it wasn't intentional on my end. It's why I said almost everything was perfect. That's one of the little details I was like.. hmm.. about but the rest was so awesome I was OK with it. I think the cape is my favorite part other than the colors. The hat and nose my least favorite but I'm extremely happy with the overall image.

Quote:This. I'll always take costumes of course but I won't begrudge a nice aura pack. The newer auras we've been getting have been pretty nice but they're limited in number. This gives us 10 more and some interesting options when factoring in combat mode auras. I'm all over it. November 3rd needs to hurry it's *** up.Originally Posted by Samuel_Tow
Personally, I feel this booster is a good ideas. Our auras are OLD, and the selection is VERY sparse. Sure, we can always use more costumes, but it's auras where the game really hurts, and the auras that come in this pack seem to open up at least a few new concepts for me. That's always a plus.

Quote:Yes they have. Black Pebble said it'd be 9.99 in the official discussion thread. I'm of the opinion it should be 7.99 but I'll still be shelling out the cash for it either way.Originally Posted by DarkGob
They haven't even priced this one yet.
I would also point out that you're not obligated to buy it at all, especially if it doesn't have much that you're interested in (and without a power like the other boosters, your character's gameplay performance gains exactly zero benefit from it).

Quote:Great ideas. I think sound and pet customization is the next big thing to move this game forward on the customization level. I certainly hope they can overcome the UI challenges in giving us that.Originally Posted by Chyll
Customization options would be outstanding (and I know probably beyond the scope of the request), but some things that occur to me:- Sonic with mournful howls or musical inspired options
- Mysterious or mystical sound options for a variety of powers... (how would a Dr. Strange power blast sound differently than an Iron Man blast?)
- mechanical punching sounds for our armored/robotic characters
I agree with different Taunt sounds and jumping sounds. I don't know what to do with them but other options would be nice. I'm super tired of how they sound. For jumping I turn on Ninja Run almost just because it's super quiet.
All of that /signed - I would especially love to see Giant Monsters and AVs get voice over additions.Quote:Originally Posted by Ura Hero
Normalize the sound levels across the powersets. Some powersets blast my speakers off the shelf while others I can barely hear.
Wentworths/Black Market; I would love to see this become a power free and sound effect free area.
I would love to see some of the Giant Monsters and AV's actually say something during the fight. Give them a voice. Even just one or two sound bites that get triggered at a HP level would be cool. -
Quote:I certainly hope so! I really would love a Whip Assault for Dominators and I'm sure some Melee ATs would like it too.Originally Posted by Elord
I know this is a bit soon, but any hopes of perhaps later getting "whip" as a seperate power set? Like duel pistols evolved from MM's thug set?

Quote:Agreed.Originally Posted by bAss_ackwards
Are you kidding me? After the Party Pack I wanted something that I could enjoy using. Something like this Origin pack!
I'm so not telling you if I was! :PQuote:Originally Posted by Electric-Knight
Hey! That's my wife's birthday too!
Wait... you're not her, are you??
I still don't think they were part of this pack. The numbers don't add up and the Leaf aura and Storm aura were around at the same time as the leak. I think they are part of a Holiday pack or Holiday rewards (which would have stunk since those are on a toon by toon basis).Quote:Originally Posted by TrueMetal
Nice. Will buy.
Also, now we know what the leaked auras were actually intended for.
Notice how all the $10 packs were called SUPER boosters and the dance pack was 'just' a booster $7.99. I bet this booster will be $7.99 too.
Yay! Tho I GUESS I can wait for the 3rd. /grumbleQuote:Originally Posted by Charler
Ahh! Me too! C'mon devs, Nov 2nd is the perfect date!
Hrmph! The third!Quote:Originally Posted by Black Pebble
To answer some questions:
Price
The City of Heroes Origins Pack will retail for $9.99 / 8.99 /£5.99.
When
November 2nd does sound like a good day. I think November 3rd is a better date though.
So - the price isn't good. A precedent should be kept with the Packs. You released a non super pack for 8 bucks. This is a non super pack and should be consistent. We'll ignore the Wedding pack, if it was released today it should be 8 bucks too.
Any super booster pack with a power should be 10 bucks, IMHO.
Very true. It still matters how that critique is presented to be helpful or not or even read by the people who need to read it. There's good and bad ways to express an opinion. So.. I agree with you but I agree with others who have issues with how said comments are given.Quote:Originally Posted by JayboH
Every player has the right to give comments on this pack.
Those who are yelling at people to stop any critical comments are stifling feedback that the devs need. The devs are not going to give you a cookie for jumping to their defense. -

More capes and auras available at character creation means I'll be getting this post haste. I hope this is early November.

Will these be restricted to characters of the corresponding origins, or will we be able to mix and match? (e.g., not every "robot" character I've ever done has a "technology" origin, but they might want sparks anyway.)
Any Origin is good to go to use any of the auras/capes.Quote:Originally Posted by Avatea
* Please note Origin Auras and Capes are not locked to your origin and can be freely accessed by any of your characters. -
Having to wait until November sucks. Hard. :P
How much will this cost? The same as the Party Pack since this isn't a full Super Booster Pack?
Are you guys working on allowing two color choices in Auras? The Storm aura begs for that. -
I too would like the old Kinetic Melee sounds back or an option to pick one or the other - like how we have visual customization, somehow work it so we have sound customization too.
I'd really enjoy seeing (hearing?) more screaming, yelling and *laughing* sounds for Sonic powers.
I also agree that the demons from Demon Summoning should not be as vocal nor as loud as they are. They roar entirely too often for my taste. -
I do wish the Storm aura could have two color choices so that the lightning and clouds can be different colors. Here's hoping they one day allow all Auras to have that option.
