You know after going through this, I see why power customization was put off for so long, some powers just wouldn't seem right being another color... Pain Domination Blue? Dark Miasma Green? Hot Feet Pink?



[/ QUOTE ]Dunno bout the rest, but i think if you ignore dark's name, it has a LOT of potential for customization to fit different themes

[/ QUOTE ]Even if you don't ignore the name, there's always Ghost Widow's take on the powers.

Possibly. That link doesn't work for me either. I just get a Page Load Error.

Freedom - but be advised that doesn't mean highest quality of teams. Merely, more people.

[/ QUOTE ]

Further warning: Lately there has been evidence that Freedom's higher population is not always a good thing. For the last couple of years, there has been a 'population cap' set in place to lock out more than a certain number of folks to prevent the server from crashing. Freedom has hit this cap at least once during every major event, and usually nightly during prime time on longer ones, such as Rikti Invasion weeks.

It should be noted that people are still able to log onto a locked server, but it is more difficult than a non- locked one, and the difficulty varies on a personal basis. Some people never run into the locked server indicator, and some can sit there fir five to fifteen minutes trying to get in.

Heh, your inbox is full Dark_Respite, so I'll say thanks here.

Is the Boomtown site down for everyone at this point?

Kronos Titan: Wow. I've heard of 'compensating' but...damn.

True enough. Also, I just listened to the whole Weird Al song, and the line from the OP isn't actually in his song so it's entirely possible Steelclaw had almost the same idea.

what's the song name you used for the paragon protector? i love it!

[/ QUOTE ]

Here ya go.

[/ QUOTE ]

Close.

I laughed, and sang, out loud at several of these. Only problem is, you hit ALL of the obvious ones, so now it's going to take a while for me to think of anything for the obscure.

Well, there's a new interview being talked about in the City Life section, Posi talking to Boomtown about stuff like this. I'm told there's a lot of 'no comment' but I can't get the dang site to load so I don't know for sure what's what.

Crap. Anyone managed to copy this interview? Link won't work for me.

I wonder what Mod08 is doing.

[/ QUOTE ]

Something so epically awesome, it fails to be describable in words. Like, so real-life super hero stuff, or something. He's off saving the world.

That or he's got as morbid a sense of humor as we do, and he's waiting to see how far this thing'll go.

[/ QUOTE ]My guess? He's at home, trying to get some time away from stuff just like this. Hoping that maybe, just maybe, he can have one day without a thread like this popping up.

Isn't this exactly why we used to have the nameless legion of moderators? So that one person doesn't have to try to keep up with all the posters?

(Since my response to Forbin's response would technically be considered spam, I'll post it here, instead: ...huh.)

It should be noted that when you but the Science pack and get the ability to change the height/gender of the character in question, only some of the Tailors around the Cities actually grant the players the ability to change height/build. Those that do will have their names changed to include the word "Surgeon". (As in Facemaker Nurse will become Facemaker Surgeon) which indicates that a lot more is going on than just someone shopping at the other side of the store.

Wow, I didn't realize you were so fluent in n00bish. You should write a translation guide. Something like "N00bish for Newbs"

[/ QUOTE ]


lol, I was thinking about it.

Maybe title it like a college course:

N00bish as a Second Language

[/ QUOTE ]

"N00bish for Dummies"?

[/ QUOTE ]

...Wait, what?

[ QUOTE ]
Newb > n00b > nub.

Nubs are like what n00bs can call noob, because they phail even at n00bness. Or, are simply being insulted by jerks outside the nub/n00b/newb circle.

"Get an epic mount, nub!"

[/ QUOTE ]Heh heh, there's a 'tribe' of gnomes (I think) in DAoC who all heavily RP, even to the point of having 'figured out' the native language of that race. Nub is how they say no.

are you serious a paragonwiki??? awsome! i dont think i'll be askin questions again for a while now....lol

this reminds me why i love playing CoX over other MMORPG's, it's the players, you guys are actually helpful, and fun to play with....hope to see you guys in the game....thanks all!!

[/ QUOTE ]

Kinda surprised that it wasn't one of the first responses to your question. Only thing is, I'd be careful looking around over there, I'm not sure how they treat the various spoilers in the game.

[/ QUOTE ]

awsome!! my next question was actually if anyone could tell me what they look like since i've probably past them a bunch of times just wasnt sure what i was looking for....much respect!

[/ QUOTE ]Actually, the picture Nev put up is about as good a description as you can get for Lost of your level. The homeless guys in the shot are the Lost Minions, the bug guy with the TV head are the Lieutenants, and the monstrosity on the soapbox is what the bosses look like.

Minions and LTs mostly use pistols, shotguns and the like, with a few of the lieuts packing huge glowing swords. The bosses have a bunch of Psi powers, controls and blasts, so watch yourself if you don't have Break Free's or a mez protection power.

More details can be found here.

I've had rabbit, squirrel, chipmunk...

Father's side of the family comes from the 'farm country' of Kentucky. Not quite Hazard county, but definitely not big city folks, neither.

The Vet reward wings are exactly what you want. The Vet reward wings were put in first, as kind of the test for how wings would work. The other, craftable, wings cam later, and as such represent the 'closet case' wings in the comic book world. The vet reward wings likely won't change, because they've been a part of the system since it came out. It they were to be put into the craftable wings category, then people who have the wings on a character now, if they wanted to change their costume, would have to craft them first, just to get the wings they have now back.

[/ QUOTE ]

Actually, that's not how I remember it. I believe it was one of those cases where the developers saying something that bit them in the butt.

Positron had said at one point: "There will be wings in I8." When he said that, he was talking about all the Wing recipes in Inventions. However, Inventions had to be pushed back to I9 because they weren't quite ready. Thus, Posi took the two most Iconic wings and made them Vet rewards, so that his statement would remain true. Inventions couldn't be in I8, but there would still be wings.

You DID!?

He got that thing I sent him!

O.o

Huh.

Happy Birthday Rastaman, and...

Didja get that thing I sent ya?

The story has been edited since it's appearance here, hasn't it?

I know people are talking about being able to choose animations and emanation points, but those aren't explicit in the revelations, so far, so I would caution against too much hope for those at this point. Plus, those pictures indicate a single color for both powers (Summon Imps and whatever power is being animated) so I don't think we're getting customization for individual powers; probably a single choice for all powers or per Power Set. I'd be happy with just that, as far as color choices go, but I want to be able to change the character model and height after character creation.

But it is early yet so we'll see more in the future.

[/ QUOTE ]

Ya... just being able to designate colors for the power SET would make me just vibrate with happiness.

My dark armor scrapper enveloped in red instead of a greasy black... THAT makes me happy.

[/ QUOTE ]I can't get over the folks in the big thread talking about how Dark powers should be exempt from customizing because they're supposed to be DARK. I mean, have we forgotten about Ghost Widow?
