Personally I'm all for moving out to new environments for roleplaying. I just hope this idea doesn't get snuffed out by those who refuse to roleplay anywhere besides their usual spots (as I've seen happen before).

This is true. As you can tell from my post I'm not much of a melee kind of guy.

Anyway I actually said it could be used as a side-arm blunt weapon kind of thing. It's just not something I usually see in my Post-Apoc games and movies. :3

Wait wait wait... I'm sorry if this is a dead topic, this has been cleared up recently, or there's news of this that I haven't heard about...

I know this is a WIP, but seriously...

Where are the guns?!

What's a post apocalyptic setting without guns? I mean, one could argue "Ammo is hard to find!" Not when you buy it before the apocalypse happens!

What? You think guns don't fit into a post apoc setting?
Guns are to Post Apoc what swords are to Fantasy.

Well gee, KC... DP, AR, and BR just got tons of new guns!!
Not ones that I'd be proud to use on a lot of characters. Sure if you want to have a guy who uses laser-tag equipment and squirt guns to fight then yeah! We sure did get a lot of guns! But I'm asking for actual guns, something that looks like a police officer would use, or maybe even something a soldier in the military would use. Please, just once can we get a pack of guns that lacks horns, extremely blocky parts, oversized fog-horn barrels, or random pieces that don't fit? (And please no more revolvers...)

I mean seriously guys... not everyone uses chainsaws in a post apoc setting.

Now on to the hair: Seriously? I think we all know what I'm going to say...
WE NEED MORE MOHAWKS, GUYS!!! I CAN'T GET ENOUGH OF THEM I JUSTWANTMOREANDMOREANDIUFGHOSURHGOUISBER-

Kidding, no seriously we have enough mohawks, in fact I never see anyone use any of them. I liked the kind of style of the hair in the Pocket D costume pack. Try to go with either "More anime" or "More natural" hairs next time. Most of the community would probably request the "More Natural" hairs out of those two. I said "More anime" because I actually have a guy with long hair and I'd like to see a better looking long hair style.

Then again I guess if the apocalypse rolled around I'd probably nail myself in the head too... not sure how it wouldn't kill me.

Anyway now for some GOOD things to say (I try to be fair and supportive by giving positive and negative feedback).

I love the shoulders, gloves, and pants. They look very post apoc-y. The chest piece is nice as well, I could see that used in multiple occasions.
I can't wait to see the belt textured, however the hammer looks a bit out of place (I don't think they'd be doing construction work in a post apoc setting, but I mean I guess it could be used as a side-arm weapon almost like a blunt knife).

All in all I believe I'll be buying this pack, but I'd really like to stress my disappointment at the lack of guns.

Ok last time I checked, it was literally mathematically impossible for something to go OVER the maximum amount...

My download for Freedom has been running since 9:30 PM last night, and due to a few stalls and errors, I've had to reset it multiple times to get it to fully download. Now due to the launcher being idiotic, and trying to murder my already slow internet (190 KB/s, yeah that's right) by starting downloads for patching Beta, fixing Beta's files, and patching test, I get back from school to see the download 2.30 GB/2.45 GB... Well I wait and wait for that final .15 to finish... and it does! YES! ...Wait, it's... it's saying WHAT now? 2.46 GB/2.45...? o_o

This doesn't seem logical in the slightest. I'm still not sure what's wrong. Currently the download is at 2.64 GB/2.45... I'm still confused. The download bar is complete, it says 100%, but it keeps going. Is there something I'm missing? Is the launcher just bugged? I'm running Snow Leopard, 10.6.7. CoH was patched to the latest before Freedom launched, too.

I dont want to cancel the download, since that'll make me need to start back from 0 to go back to 2.45 GB. And trust me... for all you "I get 12 MB/s" speeds? 190 KB/s is NOT fast at ALL. It takes me multiple hours to download 1 GB.

So yeah if theres anyone who can help me figure out what's going on? I'd really appreciate it.

Quick question: what ever happened to the reactivation? Were the devs too busy Ustreaming and working on the servers to reactivate accounts? :X My older sister tried to access her old account last night after the Servers were finished, and she got the usual, "You can't access your account (etc stuff about not paying)". I checked the site and realized I forgot they had a time on it. I checked again at 9 PM central (about an hour past the time reactivation was suppose to happen) and still nothing.

Just checked again today, and still nothing.

Does reactivation NOT mean reactivating accounts? Or are they going to give us an extra day to make up for it?

I apologize if this is in the wrong section; in my defense it IS a suggestion.

Well, we all want new costume parts and stuff like that, and I've been discussing with some friends about some of these, and they seemed to like the ideas.

Battle Damaged
Well, if you're a roleplayer like me, you'll eventually come across the need for a scar or two on your character from some dramatic (Or even not so dramatic) event in their life... and personally, the "Scar-faces" aren't cutting it. (pun not intended)

And before I get into detail, please remember that this game is already rated T, meaning that the rules of "E" games aren't applied; so we do have a right to these things.

Costume pieces
The costume pieces would include something along the lines of...
Ripped shirts (Instead of always needing to use "Tattered Robes" or the "Blast" detail)
Battle scars for chest details (E.g. giant slice going across the body; obvious cut marks; bruises; etc)
New Scarred faces (Adding scars to some of the basic/common faces (why can't someone have a kid with a scar on his eye/cheek without using the details, why is it always old men that have to have scars?)
Torn shoes
Torn gloves
And stuff along the lines of that...

Auras
No costume pack is complete without an Aura or two...
Liquid drip; little droplets of liquid falling off the character and disappearing into a small puddle below - This could be used for more than just blood (Though that would be its intentional use). Coloring it, you could make it look like tears, water, goo, or even oil dripping from the character.
Glowing scar; A scar that slowly pulsates (Chest: Big glowing scar that goes down the chest. Hands: Small scar or scars that are either on the back of the hands, or start from the hands and go down the wrists. Head: Scar on the cheek). - Could be used as glowing tattoo or something instead of a scar. Just thinking practical use.

Powers
Still Alive - Rez which grants 50% HP and 25% End recovered. No stun. 30 minute recharge.

Emotes
Unconscious - Fall down on the ground, almost in a mixture of the "bum slump" and "Dead slab" emotes.
Injured 1 - Standing up, bending over slightly as you grab your left arm.
Injured 2 - Keeling, grabbing your left arm.

Some things could be improved, renamed, and rethought of... but the general idea is worthy of consideration. Constructive thoughts would be appreciated.

Maybe I wasn't looking close enough in the video, but I kinda wish there were dog heads added (And no, wolf heads wont satisfy). As ugly as it may be, I want to make a reference to a character I created a long time ago. I made the human version of him in CoH, but I never was able to make the animal version.

Also... CRUD. ITS GOING TO BE THE RETURN OF THE ROLEPLAYING CAT GIRLS..!

RUN VIRTUE, RUN AND HIDE BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE!!


...wait cat girls never 'left'...
carry on...

Anyway, jokes and wishes aside, I'll probably be buying this pack.

Thanks a ton! I'll try it out once I get to a computer. (I'm posting from my iPod right now.)

I'm quite honored to have you post, Dark_Respite! And I'm glad that theres a way.

And thanks for the link, Fireheart! I'll search around a bit.

Hey guys, I have a question regarding demo editing that I DOUBT will be answered with a "Yes", but I feel the need to ask anyway.

Is there some way to 'green screen' your character in demo editing? I tried with the black outside of a map once, but my character just kind of... blended in with the background, for the most part, and came out REALLY bad.

I'm wondering for the sake of making stuff like comic covers and stuff like that using my characters, but with a custom background (like a gradient background or something).

As said above I doubt it's possible, but I'm wondering if theres some way at all other than taking a picture and heavily editing it.

And as said in the title, sorry if this is in the wrong section.

I apologize for bumping this topic, but it'd be silly just to create a new one.

I'm having the same issue over again, when I go to patch CoH for i19, I get the same message. I've tried CuppaManga's trick more than once, and it hasnt worked

Am I just out of luck this time?

Thanks, CuppaManga! It worked.

And yeah, sorry je_saist. It was in the patcher where I got the error, forgot to mention that. ^^'

Well, I've been getting that error that I put in the title, basically since CoH's last update (Well actually idk if it was the LAST update, I think it was though)... It's really bugging me because I can't play CoH Mac-side currently.

And before you say, "Duh, some other program has that .pigg file open! Easy fix.", there are no other programs that can be running, and it'll say this.

Anyone willing to try and take a shot at it? I'm guessing that the issue is theres a program running in the background using it, but idk what it could be! D:

Gratz to everyone up there.

Just wanted to say I appreciate that my entry was picked as a runner up (I'm A. Jonic xD). I was praying and praying that I'd at least get runner up. And then one night while watching RvB, I got the email.

As a note of creativity, I would like to say that my screenshots went from green and grassy, to a bit more destroyed, and then finally to post-apocolyptic.

I disliked how The Hollows' old loading screen showed NONE of the destroyed areas of the zone, I wanted to touch up a little bit more on that.

Also, I hated how the first (Upper left) picture came out. I wanted to brighten it up in Photoshop, however I didn't know if that was allowed.

I appreciate the congrats, everyone. And congrats to all the other winners up there.

Edit:
Oh yeah, I was loling pretty hard when I saw none of the top 3 were from the USA XD I dunno why but it was pretty funny to me.

Ok yeah we get it, guys... The flyer has been there. Read the previous 6 posts above you, almost everyone has been saying that.

Then explain to me why it was flying like, as someone said, like a monkey was driving it!

Well I was playing on one of my guys I won a Costume/story contest on. He has 100 mil on him and I need to get him to 10 to be able to transfer that to some other character. Well I was running through the beginning missions, since he's a newb, and I got to the one mission where you're in that one section of Mercy Island, fighting off snakes and saving Arachnos soldiers... But then all of the sudden, I see an Arachnos flyer, spinning vertically, and going up into the sky.

I thought maybe it was just something that would happen once and then it would disappear... I looked up and saw it flying around the clocktower!! Sometimes it would even be flying backwards! I was freaked out of my mind, I was scared that it would start attacking me, since I feared it was an actual Giant Monster!

Well I finished the mission, and it was still there. I jumped up with my jump pack from the Good Vs. Evil edition and began to investigate it. I found out you can target it, and guess what? It was a level 54, ship. That's right, its no prop. However I could not attack it, I could read the info, I could target it, I could fly around it and all that...

Even if the ship itself is no bug, it was flying backwards sometimes around the clock tower. I managed to get a lot of pictures of it, but I failed at capturing the UI... sorry

(Also note: I know I won a costume/story contest on this character, but we're not discussing that. Please leave any comments about my character ASIDE, I don't really want to get into all of that.)

*Salutes* Lt. Matthew Grave, ready for action, Praetor Weaver! *Winkwink*

Um, I have a question.

Do they find the account to give the rewards to, by looking up your E-Mail address? Because I'm not sure what to enter for the "First and last name" part, because my last name is incorrect on my account. Should I actually enter my real last name, or the incorrect one on my account page?

And another thing, I didn't know how to send a link as an attachment, so I just put the link in the email, like this,
"The Picture:
[the link would be here]"

I also added additional comments, apologizing for putting a link in there, would these two things get me disqualified or something?
