Notice something?...
Look at the head on the far right.
Plus look at the feat second from the right. -
Yeah they could. I wouldn't mind.

Please attach 9.99 with every request so it will be processed and released in a new expansion pack with new costumes and emotes. otherwise..."working as intended".

You can sort of pull this off via a glich as is. Would be nice if it was standard. -
Quote:+1 Suggested the same idea a few mouths ago.Originally Posted by Lothic
The idea of a temp power that would allow us to use the tailor anywhere is hardly a new idea.
I've seen people making this suggestion on and off for years now.
Doesn't mean its not always a good idea for a Vet award.
I'm almost surprised it hasn't happened yet.
As far as the "cooldown" goes there's really no reason why it couldn't be once every 5 minutes.
The 63 month Vet Power Reveal only has a 5 minute cooldown.
This tailor power could work the same way. -

You want to see your character, turn off whatever Stealth power you have on. I like oogling my female characters but not when I'm fighting, then I barely notice them. Outside of the mission or at the market I'll turn Stealth off. Easy to do and doesn't require developer time.

i totally understand where you're coming from, but i designed my stalker around that transparency - he has a smokey costume aura that keeps him outlined while hidden and creates nice trails all over when he moves

I'll say /unsigned.
It's a nice idea, and I might use it, but for the effort it would take there's better things for them to work on.
Plus, when I team with Stalkers, it's kind of nice to know if they're in Hide or not.
2. Why NOT have your characters actually be seen by yourself and others?
To have a game massively based on character appearance, and have an entire class based on an ability that makes them so they could not be seen seems hypocritical to the target market to say the least. -
I think having the option to chose your skin type is a great idea. First having muscular type is fine, but this could also lead to other skin types such as reptile, zombie, or tiger stripes, allowing for better inhuman toons.

FYI I made a stalker stealth power customization suggestion so that our teams, friendlies, and the user can see our toons while in stealth if we want to. Please show some support.
Stalker Esthetic Stealth Option
*Sorry about the spelling* -
Of all the things I have suggested or seen suggested this is probably the best, or at least the most probable to get done. I hope the devs notice.
-
I am bumping this, because I really could use help with a post I19 build and don't want to start another thread.

I have made a few really good looking stalkers in the stalker theme, but something keeps bugging me. Most of the time myself and other players can not see my wonderfully looking toon because of the stealth I ALWAYS have on. I wouldn't mind turning it off every once and a while to let others see me, but it takes exceptionally long to re-start the stalk stealth.
Not wanting to change the balance of the game, and considering character appearance is a very important part of the game, I suggest this simple customization option to the power (edit: Not a permanent change). For friendlies and team mates, have a minimum FX option for stealth allowing you and others to see your toon.
Edit: As stated this is asking more for a No Fade or Pulse Option not a Min-FX. So please keep that correction in mind. -

I always saw Focus as that common anime/manga trope of slashing so fast and hard that you send a compressed "blade" of air at the opponent.
The whatever-a-rangs do explain Shockwave's animation and fx better, though. -
Quote:I would not be surprised if they did it to get past copy right laws with Wolverine. They original set weapon looks identical to Wolverine's claws, so again, maybe this was just a legal precaution.Originally Posted by Jade_Dragon
I always pictured it as similar to Spines, you're basically shooting the claws out and "popping" another set to replace them. Widows really implement that better, visually.
Although in the case of my own Claws Scrapper, she's actually summoning an energy wave, which I think is the "official" explanation. She is a robot, after all.
Unfortunately, there really isn't anything that can be done about it, since changing the animation of a power can't change was it DOES. A ranged attack is a ranged attack, period. Making Focus or Shockwave into a melee attack would effect the balance of the set. And honestly, there were so many other melee sets that could have gotten a ranged attack (Energy could fire a burst of energy as easily as Claws, and a weapon could be thrown) and yet the devs seemed to be inconsistent about whether they felt that a Melee set should include a ranged attack or not. Claws almost seemed like trying to add a ranged attack where there DIDN'T need to be one. -
Quote:I agree that the claw set having ranged attacks seems crazy. I also agree that this is not going to change. The alternate animations I was thinking of was an open hand no-claws animation supported with new gloves that were more like Mako's claws for those who don't want to be a wolverine rip, but more like a were wolf, or one of the claw tanks freakshow bosses.Originally Posted by Samuel_Tow
New animations, yes, but what's being asked for here is to turn a weapon powerset into a non-weapon powerset, which isn't possible. Or, at the very least, has absolutely no precedent even so much as alluded to.
Furthermore, if we do see new alternate animations for Claws, I want those to be NEW animations, not the old animations with the hand open. -
Quote:I just feel that there should be something extra they should get graphically speaking if nothing else.Originally Posted by Samuel_Tow
Now, I will definitely support adding six slots to level 50 as opposed to three, but...
If the intention is to make level 50 something more, isn't that what the whole of the Incarnate system is for? I mean, you hit level 50 and BAM! Mender Ramiel has requested to speak with you. Much better than what we had before, which amounted to a "Congratulations! Game Over." screen. -
I think at this point new animations for the claw attacks are not completely out of the question.

Quote:Well your expression discuss really supports your argument well...Originally Posted by DarkGob
So you want more powers/enhancement slots/other stuff but you don't want to have to do anything to get them.
Think I'm gonna leave this thread now before I say something banworthy.
So you get 3 slots, and can get your alpha slot eventually. Yes I am glad we have something more we can do with our characters. This is great.
All I am trying to purpose that we replace the level 50 Epic Archetypes that got knocked down to 20 with some bit of graphics, maybe a power, to go with what ever transportation power we have.
I get you don't like the idea, that is fine, but your attempt at saying your getting more for nothing is a very crafty put straw man argument.
I am clearly saying that I don't think we are getting enough for hitting 50. Sorry I am a little disappointed. The approx. 3 second flashy animation at the point of leveling just does not linger around for... well much more than 3 seconds. (see I can straw man too, some what)
A little something to be able to show off that you are now level 50 past being in a team using a wide verity of powers does nothing for the toon's impression in passing by in a zone.
Personally, my favorite would be the effects of this epic power booster on flying. You are at the market with you level 10-20 toon and you here this buzzing behind you, as you look you look to see the toon suddenly and quietly move to the distance flying, already gone with the wind warping around him like he is in a air tunnel with it forming rings in his wake, you hear a boom. (Grant-it this probably isn't possible, but it would be ideal)
Basically I want something so that level 50s can show they are that level in passing. Maybe that is asking too much, but I thought I would ask. Maybe this can be added to when they unlock all of their incarnate slots. I want our epic toons to stand out as being epic. -
Quote:Good points. As to the other comment, no I am not talking about adding a series of new powers, just one.Originally Posted by PennyPA
Well SS is already at the speed cap. Fly is limited to how fast it can go. TP is the fastest. Just what would this speed boost do if everything is capped out? Environment interactions sound good (like tearing up concrete), but is there any precedent on this? This sounds like the running on water issue with SS all over again. Eh, just not sure what to make of this.
As for the second, always /unsigned for me at least. This is an easy game and getting easier with things like inherent fitness. Making decisions on builds is one of the last challenges in the game. One thread I brought up just what power at 49 requires 6 slots? With IOs, frankenslot. With s/HO's, you can be creative to maximize slotting. Now with Incarnate slotting, just what is the need for these extra slots? "Just because" gets old.
Well if things are capped out, then maybe we could exspand the powers in different ways.
Give teleport the option to teleport up to the 2nd neighboring zone directly from where they are.
Give Super Speed a much higher jump height
Super Jump a faster jump
Flight, IDK maybe teleport to the 1st neighboring zone?
As to the incarnate system. Yeah getting this is nice, but in some way this just seems like more leveling. Perhaps all I want is something little and symbolic. -
I was thinking about how we now have 4 new powers that we all get for free, and the meager 3 last slots seems a little... lacking.
I got ideas, one of which I think might be new to share with you.
1. Speed Booster! Have an innate power granted to where your movement speed is upped temporarily and for a very short time, by a LOT! No matter the type of movement being used they all of a sudden move at epic speeds for a short boost. I got this idea from watching Iron Man and various anime where a show of power is commonly a sudden nitro-like speed boost. So what better symboligy for reaching a higher level of heroism than this. We could add effects that are left behind in your wake. Concrete of the city grounds crumbled and piled to the sides; water splashed up and waving away; air seeming to wave out in a similar fashion; teleporting would have a lingering large burst of energy accompanied with a phantom image; or a series of energy types leaving a trail of your path. unlike the current supper run auras, these would linger just a bit more. I know this might be a bit taxing on the system, so having this be a very long recharge would probably be a necessity, once every 5 hours suggested.
2. (the most common) Up the slots granted to 5 or 6 rather than 3. -
Quote:*Geekgasim* yeah...Originally Posted by Leo_G
Well, it's almost a necessity with the new atomic combat aura for the hands.
So much Samus/Megaman awesomeness...
I will always remember playing Metroid II from start to finish. -
Wow, I am surprised with all the support for the costume/alt animation.
Lets go devs! Issue 20! -
This would be a great power customization. We could have both, single, left, right, and under arm customization. Personally I would LOVE to have a single under arm cannon customization for all of the ranged attack power sets, including the AR.

Quote:They could have a portable tailor power and/or a auction power.Originally Posted by Lothic
Yeah it wouldn't be a big deal to people like me who have around 79 months into this game. But making all capes and auras unlock at level 1 would probably cause no end of whining/screaming from almost anyone who didn't have that much time racked up.
Basically I'm convinced there's really no way the Devs can seriously give us anything "cool" for a Vet award again because there are people playing now who'll realistically never get a chance to get them.
That would be cool and useful. They would probably only work 1/day.
