Howdy Freedom. I've been playing CoX on and off again since launch. I've taken a couple breaks away from the game because of being pulled away by other games (the most extended absence was thanks to about 3 years playing WoW). However, I've been back in game, along with a good RL friend, for several months now, and the 2 of us have built up our own cozy SG bases on both red and blue sides. We duo through most content (not Sf/TFs obviously), but we are hoping to get involved with a group of older (we're both professional 30-somethings) and laid back people who also enjoy the game for more "non-hardcore" elements. Some might read that last bit as "RP-lite", and perhaps thats what we are. Anyhoo, we're looking to establish a *small* group of folks who might want to integrate with our SGs on either side, or who might want to coalition with us, with the goal of running missions with larger groups, and doing the occasional TF/SF. Shoot me a tell or mail in-game, i'm @Budokon, or you can always rely here. Cheers!



*edited spelling. Spellchecker! KHAAANNN!*

When you list Spines in the color customization powersets, does that mean only the toxic green spray that tends to emanate with the spine's attacks, or will we actually be able to make our spines blue/pink/black/etc.?

The link in the previous post is for a driver for the 32-bit version of Vista. According to your thread you are running 64-bit.

Hope this helps.

You apparently have an option that I lack.
I'd really like to have other models available, but at least the ability to tint would be nice.

Either way, thanks everyone for the feedback. It would appear my original assumption was correct, and Widows simply cannot customize their weapons. Bummer.

There is only one style. Widows don't have options. Just the one, and it's the same one available to everyone.

"Because Arachnos weapons are limited to VEATs only"...


But the "Widow Blades" ARE available to other ATs.

Scrappers and Stalkers both can utilize the widow's claw graphics at any point.

So this past weekend I finally got my first villain to 50, and was very stoked about trying out the VEATs. Me and a friend both rolled one of each and proceeded to kick the tires and generally just roam around getting the missions done through 10 so we could at least unlock the 1st "normal" costume slot.

I should say we had a blast and the ATs are a lot of fun. I think I am favoring the Widow, but then something happened that more or less ruined my experience.

I really have a lot of fun with the character/costume creation in this game. It's a big reason I continue to play and reap a lot of enjoyment through a very light hearted RP play style.

So I get to where I want to changeup my Widow's claws and -POW- (queue the wimpy, groaning trombone slide)... You can't change the widow blades.

Can someone at the very least provide a valid reason for this?

And what about this: every stalker and scrapper in the game can use the "epic archetype" widow blade graphic, but the "epic AT" is limited to only one choice??? How is that "epic"? How is that even fair?

I realize this is nit-picky, but it seems like such a simple little thing. I shouldn't let it spoil my fun with the AT, but just the same, I was REALLY bummed I couldn't utilize one of the other claw graphics. Really, really dissapointed. Anyone have comments? Suggestions? Similar experience?

Perhaps this has been discussed significantly in the past, and I apologize if this is old news, but I am (obviously) new to the VEATs. Cheers!
