Serva_Obscura

As an aside, we are all aware that the mission writers can write custom mission text depending on origin right?

Surely uttering an incantation when told to improvise might be considered a more resonable course of action when you are well versed in the mystical arts?

Enacting an ancient mystical ritual might just be a good time to have slightly different text for different origins?

We all know that sometimes network delays can offset the visual FX on a power, especially knockback. so when I got unusual delays (sometimes up to 2 seconds) on the hit visual and sound fx for whirling smash it annoyed me but I didn't think that anything was out of the ordinary. But something kept bugging me about it, somehow it was different in it's lagging compared to other powers and even compared to the rest of the set.

As of last night I'm _sure_ there is something wrong with the power on the server side. I was fighting +0 daemons solo (specifically a Boss Behemoth) and executed a whirling smash followed by a queued (with momentum) Titan sweep. The whirling smash fx were delayed (as I've seen many times) and the fx from the titan sweep hit ended up playing at the same time.

The behemoth was knocked back, not down!

This means that at the server side the damage events occurred on the same server tic, which should be impossible from a solo player unless the delay on whirling smash was actually a server side power problem not a side-effect of client-server lag. I'm wondering if the power does some pseudo-pet strangeness that randomly delays the effect.

(As an aside the damage event on Follow Through is too late compared to the animation, the damage happens after the blade had passed through the enemy not at the apex of the strike)

Ok so if they are happy to add a belt that looks ridiculous for all but a few of the jacket options why isn't the "skirt" belt in there as well? There are plenty of short jackets that look just fine with that "belt".

Do you have any dev comment indicating that this belt is WAI? because IMHO is still looks too big in the example you gave.

I bought the female hairstyle on both my accounts and used is instantly (it's very nice)

The jeans are ok, but nothing special, the rest is.... meh.

The shoulders on the female jacket sleeves are seriously wrong (just compare where they end to any of the other sleeves) the male hair is way to high on the head even for that style and doesn't scale properly with the cranium slider (it just droops in the middle, looking very odd)

We are getting a _lot_ of broken or poorly thought through costume pack right now. I'm getting very sick of item-x-is-missing-from-category-y just because.

You might as well put an endmod IO in the first 2 slots in stamina (The resultant end-over time is very similar) you are better slotting the perf shifter in either the 3rd or 4th slot (if you have the slots to spare)

I've been waiting for these masks for so long. Bought the pack instantly. Not happy about some of the categories though.

Belt should be available when the jackets torso type is selected (not all jackets are long)
Mace should be available as a weapon for mace mastery like the ice/celestial mace.
IMHO Masks should be a face option not a detail option, detail2 is a terrible place for them.

IMHO I can see what they're going for with Diabolique.

1. Bigger is better: the easiest way to say "I'm a god" is to be bigger than is biologically possible in a kind of "I can't squeeze this much awesome any smaller" way
2. "I Am So Powerful My Hair Is Fire Instead Of Hair" Happens all over the place
3. Gods wear impractical clothing because they are too powerful for it to matter
4. I agree with Sam with the Matriarch Benezia vibe, that face says to me "Evil has aged me, I am saturated with the weight of evil"

I'd actually like to see Praetorian Diabolique retconned with a version of this mesh, stick the old head on and some tucked-in-at-the-boots trousers but keep the sharp accessories (not the god-fire-hat though) it wouldn't be that obvious due to the constant stealth-effect she has running

The Tyranids^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H Mot-Daemons... they seem really... off, much too biological, too sci-fi-alien, too brightly coloured, I'd prefer to see something designed to look like a nightmare not an alien predator....

Like... something with tendrils gathered to look like a skirt, a painful-looking huge obsidian stone chained around a the neck and torso with stone chain links, torso covered in gashes each with actual metal razor teeth, the face is is pitted cast iron maybe suggesting a form fitting mask or just a solid lump of metal for a head (Echoing the masks of the BP), recesses for eyes and the jawline distended as if screaming, long spindly arms who's bones spiral around as if broken.

Think Silent Hill without the sex or babies rather than Avatar with WH40K spikey-bits

Hmmm, I'm pondering the final build for my TW/FA right now as well.

Just to throw this out there, How do people feel about skipping fly and adding in hasten? Also it looks pretty end heavy still so I was pondering skipping hover and taking physical perfection (I was thinking of taking the Agility alpha, which works well with powers that need endmod)

Personally I want APP/PPP/Pool customisation more than I want new powersets.

But not more than I want the LOD (Level of detail) models for trees/buildings fixed in Praetoria/First Ward/Atlas, those zones are an eyesore.

All the parts exist as player pieces, I assume they won't withhold bits that are ready-to-use out of spite. You can see then if you edit a demorecord.

Yeah would be nice if you could use the female barbarian chest detail pieces with the "jackets" and "sleeveless jackets" categories like you can with the female steampunk chest detail pieces
