Thus, some Fiery Melee characters could use all "fire sword" animations (as I would choose to do to go with my Shield Defense) while others might choose to use all non-sword animations.
    Would absolutely love this.

    Giving sword versions as alternative animations for other elemental/energy-type melee powersets would also be a nice treat. Ice, Electric, Energy and Dark melee powersets would all look cool using sword animations. And, like an all sword Fiery Melee, I think those animations would pair really well with Shield Defense.
    As I recall, when weapon customization first came out, the Devs said only weapons that fit the damage type would be considered. So Energy, Electric and Dark would, if weapons were to be added, use maces and fire and ice would, sadly, be unlikely to get a punch animation.

    As I recall, the main issue was that the current animations wouldn't work for "Natural" claws which meant until there was a way to provide alternates they were a no go. Now that we have Power Customization, hopefully BAB will revisit the idea.

    MONSTROUS FUR LOWER BODY -- Ummm, I thought this already was an option?! If it isn't (I haven't looked for it, and can't from work), then I agree with ya.
    Had to double check, but no, there's no Monstrous Fur option under Tights.

    If you are a villain and at least level 20, speak to your original contact in the same manner as above to receive a series of missions that unlocks capes in the same way.
    There's also the High collor cape (Super booster 2) and Valkyrie cape (Valkyrie/Mac Pack)

    I believe sometime last year some one (don't recall who) did a /who on all servers for both side, counted the number of characters and got a 60%-40% split. As to why villians have fewer player, as I understand it, its actually a psychological issue. While very few, if any, individuals would refuse to play as the "good" guys, the number who refuse the to be the "bad" guys isn't insignificant.

    I'd rather see the Mayhems/Safe Guards added to Ouroboros, but don't see any problem with the suggestion outside of any potential coding issues.

    So basically you're trying to claim credit for an idea they've already told us they're working on for Going Rogue?
    I am a bit interested in where something like this has been said as being in development. As far as I'm aware no specific enhancement or IO information has been mentioned for Going Rogue. The most information I can find is from here.
    Universal Enhancement Slots was from the (in)famous Marketing Servey (as a way to reach a theoretical level 60) which was also the first place we heard hints of power customization, and the possibility of an expansion. BAB has said that some of the features meantioned in the servey have changed or been dropped so we don't know if UES will be part of Going Rogue.

I believe it was also said that this will only be for those who remain loyal to their faction. Those who switch sides will not get this.
    One of the last times a level cap raise came up Castle said that even if the cap was raised, we wouldn't get more powers or enhancement slots but that he did have ideas for for future advancement, so I'd be shocked if Going Rogue gave us either of those. And while we have been told there are rewards for not switching sides, I highly doubt the post 50 advancement is it.

    Un-slotted Stamina gives .42 end per second performance shifter in an auto-power does, on average, .2 end per second.

    I believe Castle has said it is working as intended, giving end to an enemy is kind of a side effect of it being able to grant end to teammates.

    Sure? Why not?
    There's been some indications that not making a stand alone costume creator may have been part of the settlement with Marvel.

    Last I heard they're not even necessarily assigned to specific games. As I understand it GMs are a part of the main NCSoft Studio, not Paragon Studios.

    Primarily because with power customization allowing alternate animations, there's simply no reason to take away the current animation from those who like it. Secondly, I don't think "wouldn't it be cool" is sufficent reason to break the "Cabin Rule." And finalely, I think having only a single attack use the whip is kind of silly, a character should have some consistancy in how (s)he attacks.

    I'd be all for adding a whip theme under electric melee's customization options, would be great for all the elemental sets to have more veriety of attack, but to completely replace Havoc Punch is a no go.

    I believe so. Early on there was a bug where the badge titles got stuck as the gender of the last costume you edited, but it was fixed.

    It was fixed on the Villain skin quite a while back. I don't know why the hero skin wasn't done at the same time.

    If you are using Firefox you can always use the Zombie Skin as a work around till they do fix it.

    Statesman is already stupidly overpowered, even fighting him as a Boss sucks.

    Is the alt too high? (Paragonwiki says the Steel Canyon Safeguard is 20-25) Wrong zone? I'm missing something here...
    Doesn't it pops up after 5 missions? I thought only the lowest level pops at 3. One way or the other check the detectives progress bar and make sure it's full.

    I don't know how good it is but VidiotMaps has a Tracker Application that runs in Excel.

    I for one would love to see a Fiery Element PPP and perhaps a Psionic one? (May Kalida can get promoted?)

    Since Scirocco can now teach you Soul, Mace or Leviathan Mastery, I don't see why he couldn't also teach Fiery, Psionic, etc. Mastery. Some goes for the other Patrons

    You can also add them to your QuickChat menu.

    I'm confused. I just checked the Character Creator, and the Female Model can wear Evil Epaulets on jackets, robes and trench coat, or am I miss understanding something?
