    Well, you'll need to stress what kind you mean - modern or classic?
  2. A major thing would be to have spandex and masks not look like they were painted on - actaully giving them an edge to make it look like they were separate from out bodies would be great.

    Another thing would be to have an option for the classic white eyes on the masks, rather than the more realistic eye holes.

    Capes, boots and gloves are already pretty well covered in the costume creator.

    The 5th Column RPers probably moved on to loyalist RP

    18 is nowhere near the cut off point for that tactic

    They don't really look very similar, or talk in the same way

    To get all the slots open and the level shifts, there will be quite a lot of "grinding".
    The repeatable missons give a reward of 2 Threads at the end, and about 1% IXP per mission, so for a fresh 50, it'll take some time to get all the stuff they might want.

    The Trial rewards are designed that way - the reward rate is balanced around how often we can get them - the alignment merits and the things they can purchase are balanced around the idea of earning 1 every 2 days. If they became easier to earn, then the prices of the stuff they can purchase would have to be increased to reflect it.

    There are 6 story arcs in DA - at the end of each arc, you get a reward table to choose from - one of the rewards is for 10 Threads, and another option is to choose a random Incarnate component as well.
    If the RNG hates you, you could play through the whole DA story and end up with 6 commons - but if it loves you, you could end up with 6 very rares.

    The current level of solo rewards on the DA arcs couldn't really be described as "excessive" in any way
  12. The new Banished Pantheon Soceresses and Tsoo Sorceresses and Ink women also wear more than their male colleagues - and the new Knives of vengeance group are also pretty covered up, so focusing on just one new AV outfit is kinda missing out on the clothing diversity of all the new female models in I22.

  14. The devs said a few weeks ago that a lot of the promotional artwork for the game would still feature Stetsman, as he's the iconic hero of the game.
    According to Positron, he's also still going to feature in the tutorial.

    My post was a DA beta information post, not a guessing post - that's why I put "spoiler" in big red letters

    Of course - it's an extra power set with a lot of work behind it.

    Yes and no - it's Diabolique when she's using Mot's powers - the transformation happens on an earlier DA story arc, and the Trial is sort of the cap to the whole zone storyline.

  21. Some of the new arcs have missions where they suggest you might want to bring help - and the mobs are pretty rough, especially with their debuffs - so they appear to be going with the "soloable for some, not all" idea behind things like the Mender Ramiel arc.
  22. By the way, the current rewards for the DA arcs give you a table to pick from at the end of each arc, with an option to choose 10 threads, or a random component roll, as well as super inspirations and reward merits.

    EDIT:

    The full reward table at the end of each arc is:

    Quote:
    Incarnate Components

    By choosing this reward, you will receive one of four choice tables, each containing Incarnate Salvage. There is a chance to receive the Common, Uncommon, Rare or Very Rare Salvage table.
    Quote:
    Incarnate Merits

    By choosing this reward, you receive one Incarnate Merit, which can be redeemed at vendors in Ouroboros or used to craft Incarnate components. There is a chance to receive two Astral Merits or one Empyrean Merit.
    Quote:
    Incarnate Threads

    By choosing this reward, you receive ten Incarnate Threads.
    Quote:
    4x Reward Merits

    By choosing this reward, you will receive four times the standard number of Merit Rewards for this arc.
    Quote:
    Super Inspirations

    By choosing this reward, you receive two random Super Inspirations.

    Well, I think that this set means that hawk and lion vanity pets will also be made available at some point

    EDIT: Also, lion pets = cat pets eventually ;-)
