Qr - in regard to who's coming or going where, i just had a thought - both boards are moving to one, aren't they? Technically, the EU boards could claim that 'the Americans are coming!' too?

[/ QUOTE ]

Wouldn't it be 'The Yanks are coming!'?

[/ QUOTE ]

As a proud southerner, I take offense at being called a Yank.

In all seriousness, I really hope that there isn't any "us vs. them" mentality on anyone's part, or if there is, that it fades away pretty quickly. We're all City of Heroes players, gamers, and geeks. And this is the internet, so physical location really doesn't mean squat.

Well, time for bed. See y'all on the other side!

Great, I was hoping for a metallic looking set. Where was this stated?

[/ QUOTE ]

Zekiran_Immortal was at Comic-Con and took pics and videos of various customization stuff. One of her videos is of Spines customization.

Check out her "Comic Con Panel" thread for the pics and videos.

Im not really sure if the devs will answer this question this early, but I had a question about power customization and spines for scrappers and stalkers.

The question, is can we do more than change the color of the spines? Perhaps entirely different spines? Because, to tell you the truth, Im pretty sure hero spines are going to look stupid if their tan/yellow like they are now, or purple red or blue or green or anything else. I suppose thats just my opinion though.

[/ QUOTE ]

I'm not a dev, but I can tell you that Spines and Thorns users will be able to not only choose between either of those looks, but a third, metallic-looking set.

Wait, it's your birthday, and you've been the one handing out gifts over the last few days? Well aren't you Lil' Miss Awesome?

Happy birthday Zek!!!!

Just want to be absolutely sure, Zekiran: can you mix and match between the default and alternate animations, or do you have to change the entire powerset?

[ QUOTE ]
Okay so I took 3 more videos of the power sets! Again they're wmv, sorry if that is unplayable - if someone else has a way of converting it to something else, please do but give me credit I have a youtube account but I have never actually uploaded anything to it.

Martial Arts - probably my favorite among the batch of new stuff because there are a lot of new options.


Superstrength!

Earth Assault!

Enjoy!

Thank you!

Okay, I'm the leader of a VG on Virtue and I'm curious about one thing. With the new expansion pack coming out, there'll be an issue that was met before with CoV-the splitting of VGs as the new expack comes out. Obviously there will be people who want the new content, but at the same time, there will be people who can't either due to lack of money, or time, or just no interest.

So does anyone know if they've heard of what the devs plan for this? A global VG or something? We've already considered a global channel, but to be quite honest, those almost never work out, especially due to RP purposes.

Right now, we know almost nothing about Going Rogue. Your best bet is to just wait and find out stuff along with the rest of us.

I'm surprised nobody has talked about the Power Customization demo the devs have running at Comic-Con. It was totally awesome to be able to play around with many of the powers that are receiving customization. You can individually tint each and every power in a set (all the same, or each one unique) and see animation of that power while you do (all powers in the set, regardless of the toon's level).

Oh, and the new "direct access" shortcut bar above the entire interface (with click access to each and every step in the character creation routine, in any order) is great! Especially love the new 'Check Name' button on the naming/origin page. (Thanks to Dark Watcher for pointing that out!)

I think you all are gonna love the new interface tweaks -- I know I sure do!

We have, in a couple of threads in the main CoH discussion folder.

Aw man, I kept reading it as a forum merge with EU and US. I was looking forward to stop making trial accounts to be able to post here.

EU forums are nice and all, but leaning very to the social.. and very little in numbers and game aspect.

[/ QUOTE ]

The forums are being merged. From the opening post in this thread, by Niviene:

[ QUOTE ]
We're not just pleased to have great new software -- the best part of this change is that City of Heroes® forum dwellers are about to become one big happy family! That's right; we're integrating our North American and European communities into one board so everyone can be together!

If you have a handle you want, get it NOW, because you will not be allowed to redo your name.

[/ QUOTE ]
I'm assuming if we're happy with our name now....we need to do nothing?

[/ QUOTE ]

Pretty much.

Generally speaking, vBulletin is a LOT more customizable than what we've got now, and adding plugins and scripts is rather easy to do.

And personally speaking, I've got years of modding/admining forums run on vBulletin. So for me, it'll kinda be like coming home.

QR

I needz to see the SS/MA alternate animations! I neeeeeedz it.

[/ QUOTE ]

Golem's right -- some pics and/or descriptions of at least a few of the alternate animations would be greatly appreciated.

Boy, it's gonna be fun on the new forums with you, PK, and Golden Girl.

Well, cleaned out the old PM box. From 300-some to about 75.

[/ QUOTE ]

Ever consider saving those as text files on your computer? Going from 300 PMs to 75 still means that there are 75 additional PMs that have to be migrated over to the new forum.

Srmalloy, you rule sir! Thanks a ton for snapping those pics

[ QUOTE ]
Will people still have a place to complain about freedom being full over 2xp weekend?

[/ QUOTE ]

I actually just tweeted Niviene commenting about how the new forums would be up just in time for them to complain.

Maybe it wouldn't be so bad if the migration took some extra time ...

Have we heard if we can change the powers customization based on the costume slot, or is it going to be one set of power color customization for one character?

[/ QUOTE ]

Powers can be individually customized per costume slot, but not supergroup mode.

[/ QUOTE ]

In all seriousness, Mr. Bruce, you and your team (you have an animation team, right? Or maybe a programming team that hammered out the back-end stuff?) have absolutely outdone yourselves with this.

[ QUOTE ]
Whats this? A Carp in my pants? Its flopping around..

[ QUOTE ]
........??
I'm confused.
What does showing the new character coming in I16 creator have to do with being able to play around without before closed beta?

[/ QUOTE ]

Typically, the lock-out for non-beta accounts doesn't happen until you actually try to log a character onto the server. This means that the character creation process - and whatever new goodies may be part of it - is usually open for anybody to fool around with. While it's possible that even character creation could be locked this time around, if it isn't, then non-beta participants should be able to experience being able to change colors and animations for powers.
