I look forward to this. I'd like to give feedback in official threads for all the items on the Market (current AND past) so we can hopefully get concerns addressed - for me it's primarily costume items that need tweaks.
-
Great piece! I love his work. My GQ piece from him is still my favorite (and that's saying a lot. I love so many of the ones I have!).

Quote:Yes, I've been wanting a Warshade like Dark Power revamp ever since Warshades came out. They have such better graphics. I guess they haven't because they want them to be separate and I don't know how they can clean up the old Dark graphics without making them look like Warshade abilities - but I hope they figure something out.I would kill for updates to Granite Armor and the entire Ice Armor set (with, hopefully, spillover for Cold Domination's shared FX shields and the EPP pools that use Frozen Armor).
All of the Dark powers in the game could probably stand for a FX update, too, considering how much better the Warshade/Nictus effects look, but that is both a larger job and one that I don't see happening any time soon. -

I can appreciate the Market getting new items that are testing the waters, gauging interest in what might sell. I for one won't be buying this. IF it was account wide and a bit cheaper I might have, for the off chance I could find use for the bundle on random characters.
That's two weeks in a row for me but at least I'm saving some money! Just wished it was something of interest to me since it's my bday week. ;P I actually was hoping it was the Murder of Crows CCE. heh -
Quote:Agreed. I know it won't happen but I'd like to see the Banner event have a longer timer and then on a successful completion, the Halloween Trial opens up for a couple hours. Give a reason to do the Banner event. Could tie it in with the Zombie invasion as well.I Loved the new murder of crows emote though, the trial was worth running once just for that. Though now that the trial is over, I hope they offer up another way to unlock it for those that missed out.
Or just put the CCE on the market. -
That's a really good idea on the Kheldian angle. What with the Loa skinriding their hosts and whatnot. Cool.
Since I'm still waffling on my one human form WS, I may reroll it into this. I'll just miss that Soul Storm ability, that's for sure!
I have a couple plants but I was thinking of Plant/Poison by being a Mamba of one of the Loa that embodies plants and poison. I can't find the name now but I'm pretty sure I ran across that combo the other day when I was browsing through the pantheon.
I guess my only concern is that you can't diversify a character with different thematic abilities as easily with a Warshade since you can't do APP or PPP. But regardless, that's a great spin on the mythology and is very, very tempting!
Currently I'm messing with a Dark/Dark blaster but I thought a Dark/MM blaster could be fun as well. I'll probably reroll a few more times before I settle down and by then a new Dom set will come out and I'll reroll again! :P (any new Dark control better have that Soul Storm graphic! so sad that Controllers and Doms can't get that) -
Quote:Completely agree. It's my favorite zone looks-wise now.They did such great work on this map. I really wish it had been duplicated as a Halloween zone, like the ski chalet. Then we could all wander around it at our leisure, chat with the NPCs, and generally have fun with it. It's far too fabulous to be locked behind a mission.

True - the Anachronism Society isn't super active right now because I had to move across country, get a house and start a new job. BUT, once I can actually play from said new house reliably, I'll start kicking it back into activity once again.
Shouldn't be too much longer! Can try contacting me at @Goblin Queen in game. -
Quote:My bet:
Dark Illusion first (free set since Dom didn't get any since issue 21)
Whip Assault - cash item because the dev knows many people want to whip!
It really doesn't take long to create a Dark Illusion. All they need to do is to decide if the set needs to remain the focus on "pet controls" or adding more controls that can be affected by Domination. Once they made that decision, the rest should be easy.
Actually, the fact that they didn't port Illusion hints that they are leaning towards less pet controls, which kinda defeats the purpose of Illusion set, don't you think? It's like porting Super Strength to Stalker but without Rage. lol It's like why bother?
Pet or petless, I want that set and Whip Assault. Needs it we do. -
I LOVE the Rune ability. I'd love a whole powerset with those! I've always wanted a crafted power version but if we could buy it..? Yes, I'd buy that for a dollar. Or three.
-
Quote:Yeah, I hope it's something like this and not JUST ice and fire combined but rather the aging and changing of seasons thing. Not really sure how to pull that off in game mechanics though. Would have to give it some thought. The name is misleading to me if it'd just be Fire and Ice, even if it only ever remains a NPC "powerset".If it is just ice/fire combined that is dumb. But autumn means much more than that. even plant/ice is not quite it. Autumn is fall is the beginning of death. it's cold but not ice because that's winter. Definitely slow. It is aging. There's a lot they could do with autumn that is not fire/ice. And really, I don't see how fire fits in at all except visually when the leaves turn red/orange on trees.

Quote:I'd love to see Dark Illusion and Whip Assault. That's the ultimate combo for Goblin Queen (other than goblin Masterminds or Demon customization!). I'd love to see Dark Control and this Autumnal too though. Dare to dream we get all of the above and I can mix and match!My money is on Whip Assault and possibly Whip Control.
Why? Because I refuse to believe Dark Control/Assault take that much time to create and this Autumn set just looks like a fancy name for Plant control or fire/icy mix.
Only Whip animations will take that long to create. Mind you, they already created several new animations for Mastermind and it makes little sense to create something totally new when they already have those animations done.
They made dual pistol for MM first and then later introduced Dual Pistol Blast set. It's only logical. So the chance of it being Whip Control/Assault is as high as 80%. Mark my word!
(they could also introduce Dark Illusion by the time they have "time" for Dominator but it's unlikely Dominator gets 3 new sets at once) -
Quote:Agreed - or Illusions but I'm pretty sure Dark is on the short list. GQ would love to have it!I doubt that this is the new set that they are talking about, but it could be. Just seems like a way to get War Witch into Praetoria, and give her sets roughly equivalent to what she was on Primal earth.
I'm still thinking that we'll be getting some sort of Dark Control/Dark Assault set, but maybe we'll get more than one, and Autumnal will be it.
EDITED - found out what the Serene Autumnal sets are. :P -
Quote:I do wish that worked differently than it currently does. I agree, it's a bit of a PITA to get those pieces for new characters.It'd be nice if we could access these on a new character in the costume creator. Right now, I have to create the character, then log in, then Claim All in my email, wait for the message spam to complete, then switch characters and email myself some influence, then switch back and go to Ms Liberty to change my costume to what I wanted using the components I already "own".

Quote:Thirded.Consider this request seconded by yours truly.
Though, to deviate from my usual optimism, I do not think we'll get it. Considering that the Devs are doing all they can to encourage the play of Incarnate Trials, I do not see them removing an exclusive incentive. -
Quote:Murder of Crows CCEI do agree. Time saving items such as this have made my costume creation and playtime a bit more enjoyable
.
Glad to see you're enjoying it as well.
As long as we're talking about it, are there any other time vs. convenience options like the cape and aura unlock service you could see being a desirable Market offering?
Sorry, I had to! -

Quote:I agree. I just have so many alts and ideas that I've done a lot of combos and have gravitated towards many over and over. For Loa I could see Dark, Storm, Poison, Fire, Illusion, etc. but out of all of those, I've not used Poison really (I tried with a Naga based Ninja/Poison MM but that was a long long time ago). I've used Storm many, many times and same with Dark, although usually Melee or Miasma, Dark Blast on a Corr or Defender usually turns me off due to the pew pew pew of Nightfall and some other silly things like Dark Pit.I think you might be limiting yourself a bit too much. There's a great deal of diversity amongst the Loa. And then there's Voodoo's source religions, which offer even more ideas. There are very few power sets, if any, that couldn't be made to work with the theme.
I'd suggest approaching it in reverse: choose a combo you'd enjoy playing, then find a fit within voodoo for 'em.
Sadly, the Poison is extremely heavy handed and narrow in terms of what Loa can do but in pairing it with the Medusa hair (snake dreads? yes please!) I figured it'd be a nice variation and a chance to try out Poison.
Now if Poison just ends up sucking, regardless of AT and what it's paired with then I wouldn't subject myself to it and would pick another option, but I'd probably try it out. Like I said originally, I'd almost certainly do Necromancy if those Grave Knights weren't all Fantasy themed. Le sigh.
This is where I wish we had a bit more freedom, for characters like this. I'd pick a gun attack, zombie pet, dark blasts, poison spit/breath, snake summoning, weather control and.. yeah, bag of tricks! hehe
Interesting idea on the Shovel/Bone - I'm not sure I see her as very melee though. I'll show some pics of her first two costume attempts (subject to change! In fact, I've already made changes to the first one, trying out the Victorian skirt).

I'm glad people here know what it referenced. I have a coworker who is a fellow geek but I have to question it because I found out he hadn't seen Labyrinth OR Dark Crystal. Blasphemy!
On an OT note - I'm also thinking Thugs/Poison/Soul - get a lot of variations there plus some urban dual gun wielding stuff (without the Matrix animations). Then get a zombie wand from Mr. Bocor every so often to add some zombie goodness. Still no skull effects which is sad but I could dip into the Presence pool for some fear at least.. hrm. -
Quote:Nope, not bad, I've just gotten the urge to make sure I am clearly understood in my posting and it seemed like perhaps I wasn't in this case.Oi! You know what... I misread the last bit of your post, your royal Gobliness!!
For some odd reason, I missed the "or new" part and was just thinking that you were saying that the new stuff rocks and the old stuff shouldn't even be used if you want to look good at all, hahaha...
Not that I took it as that extreme from you! I just thought you were saying that the old stuff didn't hold up!
My apologies!!
Ignore all of that from me!
Haha
(although, I don't think I said anything bad, at least! I just -mistakenly- thought that I needed to stick up for the old stuff, haha!)No worries!
-
Aaaand now I'm looking at Illusion (yet another!)/Poison Controller. Just a shame there aren't any tentacles or skull VFX powers from Soul Mastery!
She'd probably benefit from a reroll if we ever get Dark Control, that's for sure.
