    The devs have created some AWESOME systems over the years, but they do have the habit of chasing the next shiny. The next shiny in this case is the endgame and Incarnates, two things I greatly wish for and support them in doing. But that doesn't mean that I'd like them to ignore other things in the game, especially low hanging fruit like proliferation.

    Positron was probably right. They should have just done it all at once and gotten it over with.
    I agree, it's not the same as ATs switching sides and I really hope they don't stop proliferation due to that way of thinking. Even though I understand if they can't get anything in for the next issue or two, I sincerely hope we've not seen the last of this awesome system. I adds tremendous replay value for me and while I'm in it for life, replay value helps retain subs for that much longer.

    And my gut said "Tom Sellack meets Miami Vice" (Dont ask why, it couldnt have been something I ate.)

    So, Beyonder is "destroyed" in that ever so crazy machine, but is he really? Perhaps he is just out there in pixels (think Willy Wonka and the TV Room) and all he can see is our Primal Earth TV, but not all the channels, just Nick at Night, and other Classic Stations.

    Beyonder becomes obsessed with mustaches and chest hair, fast cars and loose women. Its the life he always wanted on Primal Earth but never really knew how to obtain it. It was either too much power, or not enough power, it was good machine or bad machine. It was here or BOOM!... not here.

    Then someone discovers the machine under the Rocky Mnts, attaches some rabbit ear antennaes, and POOF! Beyonder reappears in this image!

    LOW AND BEHOLD, the almighty rough and tumble, ladies man, fast car ridin', hot pants dancin', fightin', liein', stealin', cheatin'....

    BEYONDER!

    (pic)

    Now, to really live up to this life style, it was important to show him in his new skin. Show ya how the great Beyonder is around the ladies, and how he is ready to THROW DOWN...

    (pic)

    Aww yeah, thats right... He's FISHING!
    That's pretty damned epic!

    I feel you. Goblin Queen won't be complete until Doms get Illusions and perhaps Whip Assault as a secondary.

    And the extra cherry on top - letting us customize the Phantom Army and the Phantasm.
  4. I want this Clockwork/robot face.

    No New Costume Pieces Announced?


    So, what's taking up Jay's (and others') time? Some theories.
    1) New art for the NPC's?
    2) New holiday themed costume pieces (Halloween and Christmas) that were meant to go with the fireflies (Halloween) and snow (duh) as new unlockables?
    3) An epic month-long tabletop warhammer game in the lunchroom?
    4) He's been branching out and trying his hand in other dev roles- most recently supplying the dialog for Ricochet and other lowbie Resistance members.
    I, of course, sincerely hope it's #2. I reallllly want a Halloween pack (or of course free in game but I'll take either or!).
  6. I wonder if the zone events are ramped up Public Quests from WAR, Open Missions (is that what they're called?) from Champions Online or Rift encounters from.. Rift: Planes of Telara. I hope so. I rather like stuff like that.

    That's what I'm hoping for. That and when you pick Stamina, it doesn't count against power choice totals.
  8. Very excited for the new animations and the consolidated trams/ferries.

    Everything else looks awesome as well. I'm curious about the Fitness pool but I expect we'll get definitive answers soon enough.
  9. This is probably posted already but I was happy to find out that there is a contact now to turn in Halloween Salvage in Praetoria. So finally I can have two costume slots before hitting level 20!

    Merged Monorails and Ferries: The Transit Authorities in Paragon City and the Rogue Isles have made major improvements to the monorail and ferry system by merging their respective routes. All monorails can now travel to every monorail station on the Green and Yellow Line, while all ferries can now travel to every ferry station in the Rogue Isles.
    That's pretty tight. Thanks!
  11. /SQUEEEEE

    For new Alternate Animations!!!

    Now I'll go back and read the rest. LOL
  12. Hmm. Perhaps more importantly, she has a sneak peak of a leaf aura on her. Maybe. :P I've seen it on Fir Bolg and whatnot, or something similar, but not on a "normal" NPC. Woot!

    Same here. Thanks so much! I'm SO happy. I had shelved my Dom until something like this happened since I couldn't have her Domination mode costume (I'm picky).
  14. Thanks guys, appreciate it.

    The Beyonder scares me tho. Good lord - the Hoff meets John Travolta in Saturday Night Fever! Now that's going to be hard. LOL
  15. Thanks everyone. I'm totally hooked. My newest piece, this time from Rantz, just came in.

  16. Another tough challenge! I used the Ulterior pattern for the texture. I could see nanites linking together to form this type of protective layer. For the rest, I just liked how the geometry and lines worked together.

    Fireflies: Free
    Snow: Free
    Storm: For something else


    Does not compute.
    The fact they're going to remove Storm strongly indicates whatever it's for is going to cost extra. If it was for i20, why wouldn't they just leave it like the other two?
    Why one weather-themed aura and not another?
    Since this is all entirely speculation I'll throw in mine - it *could* be that they aren't releasing it because the UI doesn't support dual color selection for Auras yet and the Storm Aura in particular would benefit greatly by having that option. Yes, we have the ability to pick two colors in most everything else but Auras in particular aren't set up yet and perhaps wouldn't be set up yet in time for i19.

    Or it could be for a specific unlock with a story line coming in the future.

    Or it could be for a paid pack.

  19. Superhero genre. I was tired of all the Fantasy stuff out there and wanted to play a MMO that involved one of my other favorite genres (horror, fantasy, sci-fi, steampunk and comics). I'm still waiting for a good horror, sci-fi and steampunk. So once I tried it, the costume editor was what kept me there. It wasn't the missions for the first 4 years. They finally started getting better and better. It was the altitis and the costume editor that allowed me to realize my disease and welcome it with open arms.
  20. Agreed. Storm Cloud would benefit the most out of having a secondary color option. I've often wished that all auras would have that option.

    Agreed. This aura would benefit the most but I've often wanted all auras to have that option. Maybe one day!

    New Aura Preview

    Credit to Echopryme for finding this but the SoA first costume slot, the one you can barely edit, has a Storm Cloud aura. Combines Steamy Mist with Electricity aura basically. It's rather cool! It may even have some slight sound effects attached but it's hard to tell. I could have been hearing ambient sounds near the Pocket D tailor.

    I like how it trails behind you. It'd be perfect for my Storm Dragon if it would cover wings. :P As it is tho, it's pretty sweet, especially if they add variations like other Auras (hands, head, etc.).

  23. Ah, I see it. You're correct, only in the first costume slot for SoA. This will be really cool when/if we get this. I have some storm toons this will work great for. I just wish it'd cover wings so my Storm Dragon would have the perfect aura! :P

    Edit - it is pretty darn cool tho how it trails behind you with electricity covering you. Very much like Electric aura mixed with the Steamy Mist power.

    Edit2 - Well I got excited for a minute - I thought there was an attached sound effect of rumbling thunder but I think it may have been just the ambient sound near the Pocket D tailor? I couldn't replicate it outside of Pocket D tho I think I may hear a faint electric sound once in a while with the aura.
