Confirmed. Females can use wings with the tuxes and males cannot.

[/ QUOTE ]

How about with capes? Like, oh, say, a scarf?

/e drools just a little at the thought of finally getting my Fourth Doctor homage costume right

[/ QUOTE ]

When I was playing around with the new costumes last night, I was able to have a tux and cape at the same time on my female magician. Keep in mind though that it could be considered a bug and changed so capes are locked out like with the male models. There was a *lot* of clipping between the tux tails and cape.

No garter costume piece or bouquet emote, either.

Do the tuxedo tails have the horrible butt cape trench coat physics going on? Or do they actually look ok?

[/ QUOTE ]

They flow from the mid-back and look much more natural than the trench coats.

[/ QUOTE ]

Yeah, I was surprised how much better the buttcape physics is on the tux tails. I hope it crosses over to the trenchcoats.

I'm not terribly thrilled with having to buy a separate pack for costumes, especially not at $9.99 ($4.99 seems more reasonable), but I've been *dying* for a tux for my female magician character and now she has one.

So Manticore.. nervous yet?

[ QUOTE ]
One comment, Bow Tie (Shoulders) for males and Huge already exists. If it's now available for Female characters, that would be a new addition.


[/ QUOTE ]

It is. It's actually my favorite thing about the pack besides the tux itself.

[ QUOTE ]
Bonus regarding the new tuxes: I get to make my classical magician (Zatanna-inspired) costume not look like crap! (Having previously used the vest jacket and a set of sleeves that had a few small clipping issues.)

[/ QUOTE ]

Honestly, that is the first thing I thought of when I saw that the tuxes were for women too.

Yes, you character specifically, not-so-honestly!

[/ QUOTE ]

Marvelous Tessa is marvelous.

[/ QUOTE ]

And Fantasia is fantastic!

The new tuxedos are invisible in the water. >.>

Too true! I'm sure it'll only be a few weeks -_- until they fix it, hehe.

However, what do people now think about the much more amienable activation time for flares? Talking wrt to Fiery assaults only entry in the issues list;

"Flares activation time is too long."

Pretty sure this has *finally* been addressed, albeit indirectly I think.

[/ QUOTE ]

That part was already removed from the list, but Flares stays on the list because of the strange 60' range it has instead of the 80' range it should have.

[ QUOTE ]


Now run. Statesman wants you dead.

[/ QUOTE ]

I don't see any Statesman around here. Looks like Manticore got the last laugh after all!

[ QUOTE ]

He already has moved on. A while back. Jack has been MUO focused for quite some time.

So he was the gynecologist at the birth of CoH. Ok, good stuff. But the game's grown and moved on. Time for a pediatrician, don't need a gynecologist any more.

[/ QUOTE ]

Well, technically he would have been an obstetrician, though nearly all obstetricians are also gynecologists and vice versa. Hence the Ob/Gyn abbreviation. But it's the obstetrician side, along with midwives, that deal specifically with pregnancy and childbirth.

The more you know!

[ QUOTE ]
Hehe, is it wrong for me to look at that quote and think weather effects coming to Paragon? Maybe buildings you actually crash through windows into instead of resembling fake sets from a Hollywood backlot.

[/ QUOTE ]

Fixed.

So BAB said we're getting full power customization, more Epic Archetypes and they'll be completely reworking the villain Patron powers, right?

As much as Psi did when the Devs finally fixed the End discrepancy with Psi Dart, yeah.

[ QUOTE ]
Are you certain the dom model is the wrong one and the brute model shouldn't cost more?

[/ QUOTE ]

Tank Incinerate costs the same as the Brute version so it looks like it's the Dom version that's out of whack.

Also, this isn't really Dominator specific but Consume stinks. It should either have the same recharge time as Power Sink (60 seconds instead of 180 seconds) or the same damage as Dark Consumption (~32 base damage instead of ~16 base damage adjusted to Dom melee damage).

[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ]
First!

Edit - This is really cool news.

Flashback.

A start at power customization.

Normally, I'm kinda skeptical at new issue time, but this has me pretty excited. Now, I don't have to carefully plan out how my character is going to do his/her missions in order to see it all.

One question I have though, is Flashback going to allow a character to do all the missions from a contact or just the story arcs?

[/ QUOTE ]

Story Arcs and Badge missions.

[/ QUOTE ]

Does that include the 'mini arcs' on the Villian side? How about unlockable Contact missions/arcs you might have outleveled (ie: Veluta Lunata, Kristof Jaeger, etc)? How about missions from Contacts in new zones (Hollows, Faultline, Striga) that older characters would have missed?

The blades look pretty good and I'm planning on trying out a DB Brute (unless they slow down Dual Blades to the same extend they slowed down Trick Arrows. Ugh.)

I'm actually even more excited by that new hairstyle! I'm definitely using that one, and hopefully Teh Sexy One spent a whole day styling all kinds of new 'Dos.

That's just the new snake bra costume piece.

Hm, doubtful that it could be so simple, but might Craig Zinkievich be the name behind _Castle_?

[/ QUOTE ]

Craig is far too cool to be me. He's one of our best Producers, though -- he's great at cracking the whip and getting people to get things done.

[/ QUOTE ]

I'm guessing he was standing right behind you when you typed that, right?

It's annoying because it bumps the chat you'd actually like to read. Personally, I think they should take the 'friends' channel that I've never seen anyone actually use past the first week of the game's release and remake it into an 'events' channel.

[ QUOTE ]
ummm can you edit out that imp Twilight Singer and focus on groundFrost a bit more ?

:P

great pic and welcome to the art forums

[/ QUOTE ]

Frosty's already spoken for.

Things I liked:
Inventions, new costumes, a market for easier buying/selling (although I *don't* like the blind auction system)

Things I don't like:
drop rates are too low, economy is all screwed up

Things I'd like to see for next issue:
New costumes! New powersets! Inventable 'mini' respecs so you can redo slots and enhancements, but not powers (call it 'retraining'). Better Hero/Villain balance, *especially* with regards to Epic sets (where Villains are so far behind Heroes it isn't even funny).

[ QUOTE ]
if someone dies out or range of the team, when that dead person is tp'ed into your group, if multiple people have vengence qued up in their power try, when the dead man arrives, the multiple vengences will all go at the same time, and it will stack. (which is a no-no, apparently)

Apparently, people have been doing it in pvp, and i know it gets done in pve (LRSF). As already mentioned, if the people (pve or pvp) can't stack it, then hows about nem can't stack theirs, either? It's always fun to find a mob of 5 LTs.

[/ QUOTE ]

If the way it's being exploited is by queuing it up while the target is out of range, wouldn't making the activation interuptable fix the problem? I don't think interuptable powers can be queued up, iirc.

Hopefully what this really means is powers like Twilight Grasp will be more effective with -regen on AVs.
