Hallowed

Oh don't get me wrong, I'd love a towel/blanket tied around the neck as a cape option. It's just not any more or less "natural" than a well-made one.

Meh, I could be wrong too.

EDIT: The actual text:

So not "natural", but "cheap/crappy".

But... Batman and Daredevil don't sparkle. You're a Twilight fan, aren't ya?!?

Now if you want a "teeth-sparkle" (gleaming teeth) or "eye sparkle" (twinkle in the eye), we can talk...

That's your interpretation. Not saying it's invalid, just not the necessarily the official one, or one shared by all others.

At this point, the posts replying to/mocking/arguing with far outnumber the (mostly simply stated) posts stating "no thanks/will not buy".

Which "side", exactly, are the "histrionics" occurring on?

Honestly, I expect the capes to look batter when people like bAss_ackwards [and at the danger of sounding like I'm tooting my own horn... me] get their hands on them. No disrespect to the devs, but the very best costumes I've seen are player-created.

Natural cape...

Excessive back hair? <shudder>

Price is a tad higher than I would have expected ($7.99). However, it's not so far out of line that it's a no go for me. At $.67 per "item", it's a far better value than the PP (especially because I find the type of items more useful/valuable).

Nov 3rd, huh?
<marks calendar>

I thought that cape looked extra-shiny.

As I would have expected, but confirmation is always appreciated.

5 capes and 10 auras.

Essentially twice as much "stuff" as in the PP.

Johnny,

Before the PP came out, WW had already announced that there would be 2 new pack announcements by the end of the month. Well... that was August, so they missed the mark by just a weee bit, but this does not come as a surprise. I suspect that the reaction to the PP at least partially contributed to the delay, but that's strictly speculation.

That's an "au naturale" aura. It would be released with hairy legs/armpit options for female toons. <shudder>

And what, exactly, would a "natural" aura be?

I'm not going to debate the PP's merits here (that's been done to death), but unlike the PP I will be purchasing this (provided the price is not out of whack).

Most of the capes are quite nice, but it's the Atomic Aura and the two magic ones that seal the deal for me. I'm assuming all auras are fully tint-able?

Agreed.

Though, if there's an option to order one like this:



... with a side-order of Avatea, I suspect it will sell like hot-cakes.

Can you get stacked PS? In other words, can I have 2 instances of the power running with up to 5 damage stacks each?

This kind of thing happens at least once per booster pack with me. You'd think I was paid by Paragon the way I market the things to my SG mates. One of them, who had been away from the game for a while (before I bought her GR) got 2 boosters in the last week after I showed of costumes and powers.

According to WW (IIRC), the Well of Furies is one way of becoming an Incarnate. During the Alpha Slot unlock arc, you will learn "what it means to be an incarnate".

I think you're refering to the fact that you will be able to log out directly to the cahracter selection screen, rather than logging all the way out of the game, having to sign back in, and select server, and toon.

While you can pick up some crowd response (including my "no you don't") in the videos, when he claims we "get screwed" or "lose slots", the actual response was a bit louder/more widespread than the video gives the impression.

We were on the verge of a ful-blown back 'n forth, and someone was gonna be seriously outnumbered.

Always a bit odd to see myself on video.

Hmmmm... I really do talk with my hands more than I realized...

WW was very clear on this. You can run the new TFs without a slotted alpha-slot. However, she said when she did so, she died horribly and repeatedly. I suspect top-line IO builds can probably do so, but all others need not apply, so to speak.

The only time-table info given was that I19 beta starts "next week", which, given it was said Sat, might mean "this week". I'm almost 100% positive that's closed beta.

Yes, Ghost Falcon was so very proud of them.

That's not to say thay are not "really cool" which is as much his catch prase as "next level" is WW's.

I really enjoyed that conversation with David (and you). It was really fun picking his brain and getting a feel for what he wants to do, and which of my ideas are more (or less) feasible than others. He could not have been nicer.

For anyone familiar with the term "players' coach", I'd say the term "players' dev" applies to David very well.

I wish I'd had more time to chat with Avatea. Even nicer than I expected, and I only got to scratch the surface of some interesting topics with her. She's the kind of person (intelligent, nice and well-traveled) that I could spend hours talking to. I tried not to hog her attention for too long though.

I think the longest conversations I had were with Ghost Falcon (with and without Abraxxus [sp?] and his friend [I'm, so bad with names]). He and I butted heads a bit, but I got the impression that he likes a good debate, and did listen to my points, even when he disagreed. I certainly got some unique insight from him, and would love to revisit some of those items in the future, when there is more information. Hell, I'll even admit I'm wrong, if the data shows it.

I missed WW [insert short joke here] until just before she left for the night, so I didn't get much of a chance to get to know her. She seemed quite nice though.

Did not see Mishi, but pegged Phillygirl on first guess, and had fun talking to/dancing with her. Also met an assortment of other players, all of whom were very friendly, but I'm so bad with names...

Apparently, whoever was on "door duty" when I came in was not with it, as I didn't get raffle tickets, or drink tickets (so the night was probably a good bit more expensive for me that others). But I wasn't expecting either, so I can't cry foul over something I never thought I'd get in the first place.

Really enjoyed the M&G, and the panel the next day. I hope I'll have an opportunity to attend another one.

This is ideally the general approach I'd like to see in the game for all/most issues.

1) At least 1 new costume set, or 2-3 assorted parts
2) At least 1 "converted" NPC costume set, or 2-3 assorted parts
3) At least 1 updated legacy set, or 2-3 parts
4) At least 1 new story arc per side (blue, red, Praetorian)
5) At least 1 revamped story arc per side (blue, red)
6) At least 1-3 new base items
7) At least 1-3 base items adapted from in-game items
8) At least 1 new emote
9) Something unique

Now, dependent upon the scope/scale of #9, I can definitely see dropping some of the above items due to resource requirements, but I think this is a good "give everybody a little something" formula.

Please note: I have no idea how feasible the above list is from a time/resource perspective. This is an "in an ideal situation" list.

You know, I meant to ask you about that after the panel, as it cought my attention, but I got distracted.

Great news!
