Hitback

We sort of have this already, although it deosn't work well with all colours and the second colour applies to the entire lower half, not just the sides. Here's a pic of my main, Hitback, without his mask:

I did read the second part, but I still can't see how one could misread my post to reach the conclusion you reached.
Also, "Nah I must be misreading that" implies that you're still reading as a misogynist post, but you try to convinse yourself otherwise, so yeah..

And nice attitude right there, bro.

Maybe I'm missing something, but how did you get that from "please give bulky boots to women (and ringed gloves to men)"?

Only male/huge get the bulky flat boots and only females get the ringed gloves. Also, females get another version of ringed boots, with the rings around the ankles.

As for gender-locking in general, no, we are definitely not past it.

Well, that certainly comes close.

Of course...

Ok, Ulala is an astronaut. Are you happy now?

It's a fictional version of a space suit. It's definitely closer to a real space suit that the pictures posted in this thread so far.

At least, when you see it for the first time, it's more likely to say "that's an astronaut", than seeing this for the first time.

Travelling beyond the atmosphere makes you an astronaut just as much as swimming makes you a sailor. Astronauts are trained professionals.

What part of "I'm not talking about retro sci-fi" or "this pack has both retro sci-fi and actual astronaut costume pieces" don't you understand?

Women are missing a piece from the astronaut costume and the retro sci-fi boots can't replace it.

And no, scadily-clad women with glass bowl on their heads are not astronauts.

Give me a link, picture, video, anything that shows a real woman or a fictional character wearing heels while in a suit that looks even close to this:



That's a fictional space suit, since it was designed by Paragon Studios, not NASA. The pictures that were posted, as well as the video do not feauture space suits. So, when I'm talking about astronauts, I'm specifically referring to space suits, not shiny tights and mini skirts.

This pack has an astronaut suit in it. And females are missing a piece.

The boots they have are part of the second costume, the retro sci-fi dress.

These are not astronauts.

This is an astronaut:

I'm not sure what you're trying to say here. I know that the costume pieces males received were considered to be "badass" in general opinion, but are you saying that females were receiving pieces that only looked good on males?

No. But, you completely disregard the part of the playerbase that asked for certain pieces to be given to males, too. Females were not getting the short end of the stick; both sexes were getting different sticks, and both sticks were appealing to members of the other sex.

No. I never complained about what Dink did. I made it clear from the start that it was 100% awesome and what my opinion about these complains was. First of all, I play both male and female toons, so this gives my females more options. Even if that wasn't the case though, I know how annoying it is when the other sex gets access to a costume piece you really want. So Dink made a lot of people very happy that day.

My problem is that in that same thread, it was announced or at least implied that males won't get the same treatment. And as if that wasn't enough, there were a lot of posters that were quick to insult or make fun of or just show no understanding for all of those who requested such treatment. They even made arguments to support that males shouldn't get access to certain pieces. It happened in this thread, too.

You're the one who fails to see this from someone else's viewpoint. Male sexism is a thing, too, you know. I'm requesting for equal treatment, not worse treatment for the opposite sex. If you read my post about how this pack would have been perfect in my own opinion, you'll see females get to keep all their pieces, and even get some new ones, too.

So, no, I'm not saying you can't have the Baron jacket, I'm saying give us the pointy witch hat.

The healer goes to the tanker, not the other way around. You can run and toebomb a healing trap, making it work like Healing Aura. However, you can also lay a few of these healing orbs and only approach them when you're in need of a massive heal.

So, it's like the opposite of Traps; instead of preparing nasty surprises for your enemies, you leave some tools lying around before starting the fight and only use them when you're in need.

I'm pretty sure it is possible to recreate this exact power in CoX mechanically (Ouroboros Portal, Portable Craft table), but it feels like a click-based Heal Other (since the video shows that the Orb disappears after one use). And since Heals in this game are not that important, I'm not sure this is a good idea.

If you go a different route and use pulses instead, then this is identical to Spirit Tree and Triage Beacon, except with a HoT (Heal over Time) instead of +Regen, which is also mechanically possible as proven by the Corruptor version of Soothing Aura.

I still think you should focus on a more cohesive theme for the set though, as Orbs is as general as you can get, especially when they don't follow a set of rules about what they can or can't do.

Edit: Ooh, a Poison Trap that heals would be a interesting idea. So, you can lay down these traps and when an ally with a certain percentage of health or lower approaches the trap/orb, it explodes with a AoE Heal.
