    They do toe the line towards cute and sinister sometimes.
  2. Yeah, echoing the 'this works for me'. Because I'm easily pleased.

    The only good clowns I've ever seen were Cirque de Soleil.

    Okay, other suggestions: cutesy pictures for the chest symbols. Like cherries, rainbows (as well as they can be done with two colours, anyway), bunnies, etc.

    Issue 21.5

    A dev saw their shadow and the six weeks aren't up yet.

    edit: that, uh, made more sense when I thought it up.

    It IS a little slanted, isn't it.

    Ask five random people what they like, and you'll get five different answers.

    And thus, there's my vote for as many options as possible.

    Eighties style legwarmers! With stripe opens to make them as neon as possible.

    Big furry Russian hats.

    Deer stalker caps.

    Those... furry ear flappy hat things I see my fellow Canadians wear when it gets cold. They're kind of like deer stalkers, but dweebier. I love them.

    Fake glasses/nose with mustache.

    Swirly lens glasses, like hypno or x-ray specs.

    An aura to make steam shoot out of your ears.

    I apologize if anyone's already come up with these.

I always liked the rocket boot and piston boot effect (the subtle thoom impact and shockwave on landing is cool), and would like the ability to expand that beyond those two parts.
    Just makin' sure. That would be a pretty neat aura.

    His destiny is a lonely one. Pity him not, for he bears the weight of it nobly.

    Also I'm afraid to walk under him in case of bird poop.

    Seconding shoulder birds! Optional shoulder pooping. Wait, no, that's a horrible idea. Ignore that.

    Magic wand temp power that works like that gravity attack that picks someone up and then drops them again. And on another player works like alakazam react.
  11. It would be pretty cool to have starting arcs for different origins again, to go along with the other choices to do.

    I... I think I miss Azuria. Looking sadly at her phone contact, thinking of asking her out for coffee, then bashing my head repeatedly on the keyboard.
  12. I like him. Him, the heroes around Atlas, and the hospital chatter are nice new additions with New Atlas Park.

    Pilgrim Hat

    Am not a fan of them taking costume pieces off the market. It's not like they have to keep a warehouse from being filled up with excess.

    Has anyone suggested clown nose yet?

    Nerdshirt with nerd suspenders/pocket protector.

    Socked feet with holes in the socks.

    Electrocuted hair! Electrocuted/smoke covered face makeup.

    The game does have rocket boots as a craftable recipe! If you didn't know and wanted to use that.

    Well that sucks.

    @Noble Savage, please make sure that if you guys ever include First Nations costume pieces (I'm not assuming you'd do this for a joke thing, but as a possible thing in the future), you be careful. Pop culture gives them enough crap, half by assuming they're not actually real.

    Er, what's funny about First Nations? They still wear that stuff today for ceremonies and stuff. /confused, lives near the city with the highest population in North America. They're... they're not a joke.

    At first I was like 'wtf' and now I desperately want it.

    My suggestion: More funny hair, like winged tips (A la Beast or Charlie Brown's little sister Sally), another bow like the one from the gunslinger pack, but very small and on top of the head. For all genders.

    A conehead?

    Um um um um. Oh! A forked tongue to stick out like the cigar or cigarette!
  18. Figured these might be a good idea.

    Item theme sets.

    e.g.: A set that's all hairstyles (I am SO happy to get that ringlet hairdo with the gunslinger pack. I've wanted one of those for ages.) focusing on pieces that are absent in the current lineup. Like more long hair for men, short hair for women (buzzcuts, that sort of Caesar hairdo that the cim citizens have. Men could use that too), good dreads for either genders, braids, etc.

    Further examples: A set that's all tops (baggy has so much potential for costume pieces it's criminally underused), or all jackets, or all boots, or all tight patterns. You get the idea.

    The only difference is that Sidhe Bang is ... Irish ... and didn't just ride behind Daniel Craig and Harrison Ford in Cowboys vs Aliens.
    Oh man, I love that costume and name.

    MY TWO CENTS: I have enough corsets now, guys. I'm ready for something else for my girls tops.

    The cigarette is appreciated, though, My cop, she looks great with it. And I liked the poofy trail thing butt belt.

    (Please, please, please don't screw up Dark Astoria!)
    Oh dear. Well, at least I know what to expect from reading up on it now. The Monarch storyline seems really interesting.

    I will second your Dark Astoria prayer. I'm sad they're taking it away from lower levels, though. It was lots of fun running around in it for ghost stuff.
  21. I'm glad you like it! I just started it for the first time (I was setting up a specific character for it) and I've got high hopes.

    I hear it's pretty grey area. I hope the new DA stuff has properly heroic content in it. I've been playing the Faultline arcs lately because they're good at making you feel like a big damn hero.

    Yeah, I saved loads when I realized I could just buy those instead of the whole set. I'm now set for life.

    Protean likes First Ward the best, getting the Ostermann building designed. His least favorite is Dominatrix and Tyrant.
