Light and Sound - Illusion/Sonic.
Or Human form PB.
And of course just Energy whether it's Blaster, Defender, Tank, Scrapper, etc.
I've messed with all of them for light based powers. -
This is my first Stalker that I plan to stick with in the last 6 years or so.
I'm currently playing the Stalker at level 14 and enjoy Spines/Regen but I know status effects will be a problem later and I've always enjoyed WP for that protection. I know it plays differently with Stalkers tho so I was curious about:
Which causes most redraws? Does it matter much with Spines?
I don't plan to PvP much so what's best out of the two in PvE?
If it matters, the concept is reptilian mutant (so almost did Claws but I hear Claws - not all that hot for Stalkers) so the /Regen definitely fits conceptually.
Thanks! -

When zone events (Rikti invasion, zombie apocalypse, Steel Canyon fires, etc.) are occurring the only way to know they're happening is to be logged in when the alert is displayed. If you log on after that message is sent there's no way to know unless you happen to be in the zone, or pester other players for the information.
The information terminals would be the ideal place to put this kind of information: not much, just that these events are happening. A simple time-stamped log of the same messages that are sent to the hero/villain event channel would suffice. To eliminate time zone problems, the terminals should display the current time (adjusted to your computer's local time) and the time stamp should be in your computer's local time as well.
Other information, such as character stats (number of hours played, number of times logged in, etc.), could also be displayed on other tabs of the info terminal dialog.
And definitely give RI their Arachnos equivalent. -
I actually was thinking about this the other day. That they should be repurposed somehow for something useful. Wasn't sure what but I do feel that they could be cool.. somehow. :P

Quote:I really would LOVE to have this as an alternate animation for Tornado.Originally Posted by Neuronia
Hello David,
I'd really love to have the APP Water Spout animation available under Tornado for Defenders, Controllers, Masterminds...realize there are likely power/range/etc issues but one looks awesome and other looks...pudgy.
Thanks. -
Quote:That would have to be an option. It'd be silly to take away something that has been accepted as part of the VEAT for so long. I actually picked a Crab BECAUSE of the animation. Different strokes for different folks. :POriginally Posted by Calaxprimal
I posted this in Jays thread, but it carries over here.
Shifting the animation for crab spiders (or giving them another option) so that instead of the claws going over your head they can go down your back like a cape and then when you attack they wrap around you or under your arms. One of the few reasons I'm not crab right now is specifically because I don't like having four arms above my head. Admittdedly that'd make cutting my hair in the morning REALLY easy, but still it doesn't look good to me.
Also could there be a way where you remove the mace from the Bane spider attacks? Not like have your attacks become fist strikes, but if you put in the Crab arm guards (with the giant blades on the end) it could actually work without having a mace that you need to mess. Well, until you need a power blast but that just comes from your wrist! -
Hopefully this is the right thread - I would really, really love an alternate animation for Hurl in the Earth Assault Dominator (or all variants of Hurl) that did the Propel Boulder animation. I realize the timing would have to be tweaked to make the animation speed as fast as Hurl but I would really, really love a more mystically inclined option to throw a boulder at someone rather than a super strength looking animation.
Also I would love to see a more mystically inclined option for the Healing power pool so we have tech and mystic options. I skip that power so often on so many toons because it doesn't fit the look/theme of the concept. -
Quote:Horrible reason. I hope that's not the case and even if it was hope they reverse it. Bleh.Originally Posted by Vanden
I'm pretty sure those fur shoulders were removed because they're supposed to be a unique costume piece for Woodsman.
Anyways - I'd like to see the old pointed ears back. I just read that maybe you can make them look almost the same if sliders are used? I dunno. They never seemed the same to me. I'd love to see these again!

Quote:I would love to see both back. One was a bug fix and the other a bug. The combos are just so awesome for the Bolero stuff if we can add wings/capes.Originally Posted by SilverAgeFan
Bug that sort of falls into this category: Wings + Bolero or Cape + Bolero or Cape + Coat with Tails combos. These were in briefly. Removed for performance issues I think? Anyways, a few folks out there were able to secure their costumes before this bug was smashed, disallowing all future combos. In some cases, these combos lead to some really great costumes.
Related but more of the inverse, ever since i17 and the release of Ultra Mode, edited costumes with shields no longer shows their patterns. This comes close to killing a couple of my costumes. Luckily I have two I've not yet modified and can still keep my patterned and logo'd shield. -
Quote:I totally agree with this. Some of my costumes are ruined due to this procedure but there is such worse clipping out there that I don't understand why some things got ripped out and others got put in. Clipping will suck on some costumes but it works on others - I think it's a losing battle to always be on the look out as an artist to take away every combination of clipping there is. It's easier on everyone involved to allow it and embrace it.Originally Posted by Acyl
What I'm saying is: don't block costume piece combinations or remove/revamp costume pieces just because they clip. Because you're never going to be able to prevent all the clipping problems anyway - trying to do so is a lost cause. Give us more choices. Don't take them away. You just get unhappy players who want the old stuff back.
And I want my skull belt back. ;P -
Quote:Oh good lord - YES please. I remember that! Make sure it's for all model types.Originally Posted by Johnny_Velocity
Alas, I have no screen, but the puffy pirate shirt from CoV beta REALLY needs to come back!
I think it was removed for clipping issues, but who cares?!? It's a puffy pirate shirt!
-
Quote:This! I was about to post this. Of course, no screenshots - it's hard to have screenies of things that went missing years ago. But this and the Monster Fur shoulders and Monster Fur legs for females would be nice. We have them for male and huge but not female models.Originally Posted by Goliath Bird Eater
Another lost costume piece from the CoV beta was a face option called either "wrapped" or "bandaged". It was a face/head that was completely wrapped in bandages except for the eyes. I'm not sure why access to it was removed.
Also this option was taken out but I would love to see it back since clipping issues have been ignored (and for good reason - it works sometimes!) in more recent belt options but I'd love to see the Small Fanged Skull and Skull Belts added back to Jacket options. They were taken out so my character can't ever go back to the Tailor if I don't want to lose his belt. In this particular case I love to use it as a skull belt buckle!
It's reverse of the other problem - Female toons still have this option. Male and Huge do not.

Virtue is one of the servers that still has a population. I gather that if you came back to a different server than Virtue or Freedom you probably would have seen a lot less people. =/
But they're making GR to bring in new players tho they probably wouldn't be in Atlas or Mercy that much but in the GR zones for 1-20. -
Welcome back! Virtue hasn't changed much - I speak from experience of taking a 6 month break and coming back recently. That's a good thing tho. Mostly.
The game itself is better than ever. Graphic upgrades, power proliferation and the upcoming going rogue system is keeping the game fresh in my opinion. So many options coming up! And the booster packs are kinda neat too.

Aww.. I didn't make it. But it looks *awesome*!

This rocks so hard. Thank you, Devs! -
Ooo! I love Russian characters. I wish there was a RPVG on Virtue with them. Here is mine - Soviette. I'm probably going to reroll her as a Brute in GR or whenever Brutes get BS or MA. She has MA/SD right now as a Soviet version of Captain America of course but I'm toying with the idea of giving her a Khopesh for the sickle and the shield for the hammer. In the end, I'd like to take her as a Brute to blue side.

My pumpkin-headed plant dom and I were VASTLY disappointed when this was changed.

Quote:Agreed. Maybe Spines too but definitely Claws!Originally Posted by Raithnor_Mal
I have to reiterate this here:
Why Broadswords and Dual Blades but no Claws? If there was any Power set that I associate with "Mutant" it would be Claws.
I'm fine if you guys can't release it right away, I can be patient. However I think you guys are really missing a great opportunity by not putting Claws in.
Again, if you already have something in the pipe that's cool, if you can't make it work due to technical issues that's fine.

Quote:I was just making costumes on Test for the pack this week and was looking at new toons to make just for the pack. I'd bust out a Spines for the first time -ever- if there was a matching Organic Spines set. Same with Claws.. well - it'd not be my first Claws ever in this case - but I'd sure as heck make one.Originally Posted by Sam_Sneed
I like really like some of the stuff in this booster, and that is about as much as you can hope for. The one thing I was very disappointed to see was that there were no "mutant" claws. Some of the costume peices are very twisted and jagged looking....would have made a very cool set of claws. Plus is would have looked neat when paired with the mutant gloves.
I suppode the same could be said for Spines. -
Quote:This. I can understand the original comment about conceptually MA wouldn't be for Brutes but there are plenty of conceptual reasons it could be too. Depends on how you look at it.Originally Posted by DrMike2000
There are no conceptual reasons why Brutes cannot have Martial Arts, or Scrappers and Stalkers cannot have Superstrength.
Not all Brutes are angry inarticulate "SMASH"-ers.
Even if they were, there's nothing to stop them kicking people.
Many superstrong characters are not invulnerable, and rely on offensive use of their strength to fight (eg Sunspot from New Mutants)
Some can turn invisible or be stealthy.
Picking an archetype (or even powerset) is a game mechanic decision and has little bearing on your character's concept or personality.
I look at it like this - I want it. :P -
Count me as interested! More claw stuff, especially anything that can look organic (even this creepy organic armor) is great!

Quote:I really do wish they would fix the seams at least. The head and feet are the worst in the pack. Love the pack but please fix the seams.Originally Posted by Crimson Vanquisher
That's a pretty cool demon.
I can't believe they haven't fixed the seams, and I bet you real money they won't be fixed by the time they post the booster on the online store. If they are going to slap us in the face with a "mutant" pack filled with nothing but demonic parts at least put some strength in the slap and fix the seams. -
Martial Arts and Broadswords for Brutes!
Illusion for Doms and some sort of Dark Control and Dark Blast for Doms as well. -
Quote:That's my issue with it.Originally Posted by IanTheM1
Once again I ask: What's so different about a wolf's tail compared to a cat or lizard or demon or rat or bunny tail that requires a $10 price tag? Why can I make a complete cat-man character for free, but have to pay for a complete wolf-man?
Again - I plan to buy the pack regardless. I don't have the fortitude to make a stand on any sort of principle not to buy it! But I think it just should be included with the other free tails. Anything above and beyond in a Beast Pack - make us pay for that (and I will - gladly).
