    It's possible. If so, the original post is poorly worded. I find it equally likely that everyone else overlooked a simpler issue - that the OP was unaware of being able to change costumes anywhere other than a tailor interface. The initial post makes more sense if that is the issue.
  2. Personally, I've always thought the trainers were a pointless annoyance. I'd be perfectly happy to get rid of them altogether and click the flashing level-up arrow by your health bar to bring up the level-up interface.

    Annoying Maps

    It bugs me, too, but a "show all" would show more things than were originally shown. The map would suddenly be hidden behind all the always-on names of every marker on the map.

    It's becoming part of my routine to turn on all the markers now: Put the health bar on the top left, the target bar next to that, the compass next to that, move the power bar to the top right and extend it to three trays, detach the inspiration tray and put it between the power bar and compass, extend the enhancement tray, detach the map and put it on the lower right, remove Broadcast from Chat and Help, Rewards, and System from Global, open options and hide the store button, disable pop help, and adjust window scale to 90%, load keybinds, arrange powers in tray, and now set all the map markers.

    And then I log off and go to sleep, exhausted from the effort.

    They did say it was easier to make new powersets than to make new animations that conform exactly to existing animation times while still looking good. I don't recall them saying that they wouldn't make alternate animations, mind, just that it was easier to do new powersets.
  5. Yeah, the Assassin Strike animation for Street Justice is the only one I didn't care for. It wouldn't be a bad uppercut for a quick attack, but it doesn't fit the charge-up, IMO.

    They should totally give us a dropkick instead.

    I don't care if other people get their Christmas shopping done in May, but that's completely unrelated to stores inflicting Christmas upon hapless customers. Christmas out-of-season damages the soul.

    Indeed, but that is a different issue from having your original VEAT costume returned/getting it back. It would be nice to have the pieces available, though. Heck, I'd be happy to be able to colour more than just the lights on the Special Helmets version of the Arachnos helmets.

    Indeed. Hence why the statement was "not absolute truth". Perhaps you missed that declaration.

    Quote:
    Except that it isn't a Scrapper, it is a Corruptor, so those that have been wanting to play a pistol scrapper still can't play one.
    The quoted statement isn't claiming that it's a scrapper. It claims that it's a "jumping off point for your imagination" if you've ever wanted to play a pistol scrapper. Given that a scrapper doesn't have to imagine that it's a scrapper...

    That is what 'not wholly indecipherable' would indicate, I think.

    Depends on why you kicked the dog. If it's the dog's fault it got kicked, it's the dog's fault that it was put in a position wherein it felt it had to bite back.

    But for all that, the original post wasn't wholly indecipherable and the one sentence I stumbled over looks like it may have received the loving caress of a moderator.

    The bracer in the Barbarian Ring glove option should accept two colors such that it can be made to match the two-colour barbarian belt and shoulder rings. Not a huge issue, but annoying nonetheless.

    I also wish the shoulder/glove armour pieces could be coloured so that the trim of the plate was contrasted against the main colour of the plate. But that's less of an issue and more of a fanciful wish.
  14. What if no one came? It would be like the largely ignored Banners.
  15. Why would you need to get it back, since you never lose it? You can switch back to it at any time (outside of the costume change cooldown, which is 30 seconds IIRC) either using the menu option or the costume change chat command.
  16. I rarely have enough hair that it could be cut with a flowbee. Besides which, I refuse to fly.

    Melee/Support AT

    0.75-0.8 Buff/Debuff mod* (Corruptor/Controller, or slightly better)
    Inherent: Stoicism - 4mag Protection and 50% resist to Hold/Sleep/Disorient/Immobilize/Confuse/Fear (basically the same protection as Bane Spider armor, enough to prevent getting detoggled by every AoE mez tossed at your other Melee ATs, but not much else)

    Toss in all the Melee and Support sets (maybe tweak some support sets to offer more personal protection) and you're golden.

    *Alternately you could do Support/Melee for 1.0 Buff/Debuff and 0.8 Melee Damage.
    I'd probably lean towards this route, though I might throw in a couple of self-defense powers, or else change up some of the support powers so they were self-affecting. Make the secondary a Defense/Support mix, kind of a defensive analogue of Dominator Assault sets.
  19. Looks hideous. Like an ill-formed hate-child of The Batman and Batman:TAS. And putting it in motion as CGI will probably just make it look worse. I used to look forward to new DC cartoons, but Young Justice has been lacklustre and the upcoming Green Lantern and Batman CGI don't look promising at all. I suppose there's still the straight-to-DVD features to look forward to, for now.

    Ratings

    I don't like 5-star rating systems without half-stars. When I see 3 out of 5 I tend to think of it as a bit above average.

    In any case, you seem to be implying that he has "fallen to the crapped up system" by calling a 3/5 "good" despite that according to your own estimation of said "crapped up system" a 3/5 would be unwatchable/unreadable.

    buying powers?!

    Stop paying a subscription and play for free. Then you will answer the question "what am I paying a monthly subscription for?"
  22. I don't really consider Ice, Fire, or Stone to be unarmed sets what with all those swords and hammers.

    I'd say Energy Melee<Martial Arts<Street Justice<Super Strength...

    I'm not certain where I'd fit Electric or Dark into that hierarchy.

    I think I'd put Kinetic Melee about on par with Street Justice, but I need a fuller experience with the set to know for sure.

    And if not for Footstomp, I think I'd consider Super Strength about on par with Street Justice.
  23. I've never had this problem, but I generally only make characters on Virtue.

    However, I *have* had the issue that Prodiguy mentions. And occasionally I've changed concept mid-creation and gotten into the game before realising I forgot to change my origin to match the new concept.
  24. I suggested as much, at least regarding unpurchased powersets, during Beta. I think it's pretty important to be able to see the powers and their customisation options before buying.
