Question for the weapons customization, for the old weapons powersets.... can we choose which hand we hold the sword / katana /axe / mace in? And will the weapons finally show up on our backs or in scabbard form? (visible on our person without holding them in our hands)

[/ QUOTE ]

For the old sets (other than Dual Blades), no, you can't choose handiness. Broad is right, Katana is left (I think) and will remain so. They're not revamping animations, just the object the player holds.

There's no mention of the weapons showing up on backs or in scabbards. That is certainly not part of (and probably never will be part of) the powers' animation. It would have to be a costume piece -- either new belt options, new back options, or the theorized 'coming someday' backpack option.

I know you said "probably never" but it would pay to be a bit careful using the "n" word.

How about this, prestige power only availble to specific powersets. I'll use BS for an example. The power costs no end and when active, shows a BS in a scabard on your back. When inactive it shows nothing. Make a macro/bind to toggle it off when a BS attack power it activated. You just drew a sword from your scabard. Not perfect, but uses a lot of what we already have and no messy costume changes into near-identical costumes (i.e. sans or with scabard).

I'm not happy about the new IO sets because I think we have enough of them as is.

But everything else looks awesome!

Yeah, more variety...that's just crazy !

I'm glad BAB came out to chat with the user community. Whether it was a conscious decision to let some of the devs comment about the info, or they just came to feel the love, it gives me a warm feeling.

[/ QUOTE ]
Absolutely. The more interaction (and it doesn't have to be the huge info dump this was) strengthens the community.

Also, did anyone here whether there's a fee to use the flashback system yet? I hope it's just talk to the contact and get started, not something that requires me to pay to participate.

[/ QUOTE ]
I actually hope that there is some infl charge. Scaled to level hopefully, but not prohibitive. I'm not sure if I'm a fan of repeatability though. Sure let folks who've missed stuff (maybe for being too high when the content came out) have the enjoyment of playing through it. Repeatablity? That sounds a bit dangerous, even with a fee.

this was prolly alrdy asked and im too lazy to browse the previous pages but does flashbacking mean the columns coming back?

[/ QUOTE ]

Hasn't been asked in THIS thread but has been confirmed in an earlier one (by BaB from memory). I'd link it...but I'm too lazy...

I'm just curious, but how does that excuse work out for you...like in Life and stuff?

[ QUOTE ]
Using the terms "Flashback" and "Weapon Customisation" to describe the new features is entirely misleading.
Neither accomplishes what the forum has been full of requests for since launch.


[/ QUOTE ]

Being able to change the appearance of weapons being called Weapon Customisation is "is entirely misleading". Um, yeah...You've fully slotted your Exageration powerset, haven't you?

well, someone has to be first... looks like it will be me. i11 does not get my juices going.

I highly suspect you have no juice...

God, ultra rare IO set. God. The market for that is going to sooo crazy...Superior IO. Starting bid 100 mil.

[/ QUOTE ]

Hmm...It shouldn't work out that way. The folks with the cash will start to bid for the new rares instead of the OJs they have been bidding on, and they won't magically have more cash to spend. That should then DROP the price on non-rares due to a lack in demand with the new rare IOs taking the top end of the market. Salvage though....I see in the screenies that the new rares use existing salvage. This then should increase the price of that salvage (e.g. Pangi Soil) due to it being even more sort after. All salvage will probably rise in price with the OJ stuff rising the most.

Thus concludes your CoX Micro-economics lecture for today.
