I really like Mender Paradox. Good use of the Vanguard pieces. Gotta ask though, what did he look like before the Rikti War Zone?

Syfyr was actually my first pick. It was a bit of double-speak. Psy/Fire for sure, but it hadn't been too long since folks were talking up a storm about the ridiculous name change of the SciFi channel to SyFy. I was poking a little fun at all the hubbub, and thought for sure, since I didn't do it until a while after the channel's change that someone else would have grabbed it in the interim.

Thanks for the compliment!
The other folks are right, it is Tech Sleek with the Tech Sleek pattern option using 2 shades of blue.

Based on that letter, I am seriously thinking Ajax mark 2 will be making an appearance in game in the future. Possibly with Going Rogue.

Oh, and Dark_Respite, did you notice they gave a few new clues as to Ajax's appearance? Always wears a helmet and average build. Based on his could-have-been-anyone comment. Just noting it since we all puzzled over his appearance when contributing designs to the anniversary video.

Actually, I'm curious how Dark Astoria would look. I wonder if the reflective technology will really enhance or hurt the look. I'm actually wondering how the "fog" will interact with reflective glass, from an in-game standpoint. It would be kind of weird if the glass buildings were highly reflective and didn't show the fog, which I think is an effect outside of physical objects. (Is that accurate?)

I'll loan you one of mine:

Streetwise Leo

there's also:

Streetsweeper
Beatdown
'Hood
Ghetto
Mad Max (actually, that's two words, sorry)
Apocalyptic (assuming he's a survivor type)

I'm not asking this in a snide way, but in a genuinely curious way: how is CoHV combat "a little dated"? Do you mean PvP issues, perhaps? I guess I could see that.

If you meant PvE though, I don't follow. I've played a handful of other MMOs, and personally much prefer the combat here. For example, unless I'm a stone tank, I'm not rooted in "casting" powers. I can leap, fly, and fire on the run. I didn't care for the rooted requirements for "casting" in other games.

So, clearly, I'm not seeing this as you do, but am willing to listen. So how is it "a little dated"?

though no powers are mentioned, you get the Tank Badge off of an M-1 statue, so its safe to assume...
Also, and this is really reading into it, M-1 in Galaxy City is in a classic Super Strength punching pose. What his defensive power set is, well, take your best guess.

This doesn't say much about powers, but have you seen this page?

First, in another post you made some excellent observations on how various time travel episodes could screw up the time line a piece at a time.

now the more advance tech you mentioned: I read/heard somewhere that team Abrams had decided that the newer tech on the new Enterprise was in large part the result of retro-engineering technology from the Kelvin scans of Narada, which were carried by the survivors. In like manner, but even less displayed, the Klingons got their retro-engineering boost when Narada was captured (in scenes and storyline not displayed in the theaters. I've heard its on the blueray. Is that accurate?)

The problem with that reasonable concept was that team Abrams did a lousy job of explaining that to the movie goers. Even a single dialog exchange would have sufficed.

I agree. Some sword and shield scrapper have stated the animation really works for their character. I tried it on my ma/shield scrapper and there was a lot of cutting, mainly my neck by the shield. lol.

However, I tried it on dual blades with shorter blades and it looks awesome. I'll tolerate the look on the rest of my toons for the movement benefits.

Its okay, you can smile, cap guns are cool. I remember my 7th grade class getting into a big cap gun fight on the streets of Williamsburg, VA, right after the Christmas parade ended. It was a lot of fun. Nowadays, we'd be arrested. Back then we were just glared at.

Back on target...growing up, I probably dropped more quarters into the local arcades than I've spent the last 5 years on all MMOs I've played, with expansion sets. There were days we'd play stuff like Centipede at Mazzio's Pizza, then leave and go play Lunar Lander, Star Castle and Battlezone at the arcade and finish up playing Gyruss at the front of the local department store. In the winter, we'd play Asteroids Deluxe at the hockey rink.

I can't really speak to the ladies costumes elements, having only made one female character, but I can make a suggestion on fire and ice looks.

This is my fire/ice blaster Grill N. Chill. On these two costumes, I found good use for the "blend" feature on costumes. On his "bodysock" look, I suggested a temperature shift by starting with a darker blue in the boots blended with a lighter blue. legs featured the same lighter blue with a light orange. Top was a light orange blended to a red.

On GnC's Golden Age outfit, I used a nearly identical concept, but I used the belt as a dividing line, and ran the blends just on the top, legs, and internal cape.

I found black makes an eccelent trim color with the blended outfits. It adds weight to the look and keeps the colors from getting too loud. You can't see it here, but its the sole external color on the cape.

Oh, and if you look closely at the bodysock-look's face, you'll see behind the fiery-eye aura that I used the wraps glasses, which allowed me to use the blend one last time with a blue/orange blend.

I'd definitely go for it if I could have all the WWI stuff the Banished Pantheon zombies wear, especially the doughboy hats!


I'd go for themed sets, some of which are:
1. Wild West. which would included Weird Wild West.
2. Colonial Era. Paragon City is New England after all. I want my patriot Tri-corner hat and knickers! Would be nice to have some flintlock weapons too.
3. Steampunk
