Quote:I initially started this thread to point out the sexism against men; For the most part. Guys in CoX are being brushed aside or forgotten when it comes to new costume pieces.Originally Posted by Oedipus_Tex
I don't really happen to think that actual Victorian costume is really a good example of what would be the opposite of sexist.
Anyway, if you want to build something more modest, layer the costume pieces. You don't have to wear them over keyhole lycra. For an imperfect example of it taken to an extreme:
The problem with any outfit like this of course is that dresses aren't long enough, so you are forced into dealing with the length of the leg. This is a more or less unfixable issue due to how the game works. However, any time you give a model pieces that lace all the way up to the neck, I don't see how you can say it's not adding less modesty rather than more.
Short version: coats would still be nice of course but just because a piece is layerable doesn't mean you have to dress like a streetwalker.
The Steam Pack is an obvious and good example of this. -
Thanks peeps!
Soul Mastery is awesome!
Nothing like a Build Up->Dark Oblivion->Fire Sword Circle->Combustion->Energy Absorption to start off!
Speaking about Energy Absorption, how do I slot it?
I'm kinda lost... -

What's to say that women don't want to see that on a dude?

Yeah, that's always bothered me.
How is a metal dragon bracer too girly for guys to wear?
Maybe I should get a wish list together with everyone here to make it easier for the Dev team. -

With the new and awesome steampunk set that has been released, people are already complaining about the still lack of costume piece choices being only male or only female.
http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showt...66#post3667966
The people have spoken and are still yelling at you CoH Dev team!
So the only questions I have are is when? And why not sooner then that? -
I know this is probably written down somewhere, but its just so much easier to ask.
If I get the Soul Mastery, become a Hero again, then Respec, will I still be able to choose Soul Mastery? -
Quote:That would mean I need to become a villian right?Originally Posted by TBoxer
Ice/Fire, excellent choice for your first 50! (Though I'm quite biased, lol.) If you don't mind the extra effort it takes, I highly recommend Soul Mastery as an Epic. You've got great power picks like Gloom, Dark Obliteration, and Darkest Night to choose from, all of which complement Ice's defense nicely.
Can I keep those powers if I become a Hero again?
*edit*
*looks through the powers in Mid's...*
Holy $#*$#(^@(#*..... Um... yeah. That would be awesome... -
I love my Ice/Fire tank
He's currently level 47 and looking to my first level 50 (finally... damn altolohlism)
This will be my first toon to get Epic Power Pools and I'm totally lost...
I'm currently soloing missions at +0x7. Some groups are easy, but I got my but kicked by others. So I'm not sure I should go with a more offencive because dead things don't hurt me, or more defencive so I take on more powerful enemies that have a +toHit which hurts.
I'm only using 3 Power Pools right now, Leaping, Speed, and Fighting so a 4th is an option too.
Not sure what to do, or even think at this point. -

Quote:But then the green posion spewing everywhere doesn't look right....Originally Posted by Amy_Amp
I made a Spines/elec since with power customization I could make the spines look like metal and then change the colors of /elec to match the metal look.
Yeah, that's the problem I have with Dual Blades especially. I don't mean to sound shallow but "It gets good later" always bugs me.Quote:Originally Posted by Amy_Amp
EDIT: With certain sets it might be you need to get to certain powers. Spin, or certainly Focus on a Claws scrapper. Pulling off the AV combo on a DB with it getting a crit. Hitting BS's, or Kat's tier 9 and getting more than one crit on it. FSC on Fire. Even at 18, the sheer orange numbers a Spines scrapper can put out with 2 damage auras if paired with the right secondary. Etc...
Kenetic Melee seems cool though. Was thinking about a KM/Inv scrapper, match the -dam with the +Res to equal win! Thoughts? -
Well, I hope not; but mine are.
I've never been able to make a good looking toon with spines that doesn't turn out looking like some mutated blowfish with a bad sense of fashion.
So show off you spine scrappers in all their awesomeness!
(Cause seriously, I'm lost!
)

Quote:Really? No wonder I failed engish...Originally Posted by Samuel_Tow
The OP came off as saying "I like Martial Arts and everything else is worse. Why is that?" Extolling the virtues of other sets is only half of the issue. Putting Martial Arts itself in a bit more perspective and explaining how it may not be quite as good to everyone else and how this makes other sets more appealing by contrast is the other half.
I can understand not wanting to "nerf" any one set when it comes to game balance changes, but I will never understand the desire to never speak ill of any one set, either. There isn't one great set to rule them all, hence why this discussion is relevant.
Let me rephrase then with that in mind;
I really enjoy playing a MA scrapper (Despite the fact that its not the most powerful).
I have trouble finding enjoyment playing the other scrapper sets. Maybe because swinging your sword in a different direction isn't as cool looking as the crane kick or swinging your sword harder isn't as rewarding as jumping up, kicking the bad guy in the skull and then back flipping off of their face....
Mind you, since starting this thread I have made a Broad Sword/Shield toon and I can see some things that I like. Like being able to 1 shot -1 minions at level 2 without criticals. And now at level 8 with parry, I'm able to get my melee def up to 62%. I said to myself "OH! That's the appeal..."
I've never played a spines toon because I could never get a toon to look good with spines even though I really want to play that set. I think I care too much about the look and feel of a toon because its stopping me from playing what I want to play
.... Now that I type it out, it really sounds silly. -
What about a good secondary?
/shield seems to get a lot of attention. But having a damaging aura has been mentioned a few times, so /fire, /elec, and /dark right?
What are the best compliments to claws, swords, and spines for soloing +0 x8? -
Quote:Well I like both. Example for me is blasters. I have snipers, ranged bombarders, and blappers. Some are careful and timed, and other are fury incarnate.Originally Posted by MrLiberty
While MA might be a +3 x2 Set by level 30. Other sets, like spines and Elec are a +0 x8 Set by level 32 ish. Its just up to you what is more fun. Taking on 3 red minions and a purple LT or 8 minions 3 or 4 LT's and a boss or two.
So I want the same kinda experience with scrappers cause I love em!
Spines have always been in the back of mind, but I've never been able to get them to look good. What's a good secondary for spines that will get me the +0 x8 solo mishies? -
Quote:I think that's why I like my MA scrapper so much; because with Regen you need to make sure that the damage coming in doesn't out weight your ability to heal it. Stunning and knocking baddies on their *** is a great way to do so. Meaning that an MA/Regen seems to be a really good mix.Originally Posted by Organica
I'm not anti-stun or knockback though. On an MA scrapper your enemy spends a great deal of time NOT attacking you.
Would also explain why I was soloing mishies at +3 level at 2 heroes when I was level 30 something.
I juggled most bosses to the point where they only got 1 or 2 attacks off. Mind you, I have no idea what the level 50 mishies are like since I've never gotten a toon that high. Which is really sad because I've been playing for over 4 years... damn altaholism!
But thank you all for the feed back, now I'm looking at my scrapper as just a different flavour and now seeing what kind of damage I can do with the other sets!
Hmm.... *strokes beard in thought* -
So I have a level 41 MA/Regen scrapper and I freakin love her.
she can Stun, immobilize, knock up, and knock back and take on really tough mobs because she can control the crowd.
Stun someone, then knock someone away, then take out who's ever left, rinse, repeat.
So then I want to build another scrapper and..... the other primaries just don't do it for me.
They're like 1 trick ponies, extra DoT, or lower def, or -acc, etc.
So what's the appeal of non-MA? I know there is one, but I don't see it!
Help? -
Quote:People are going to be uncivil with what ever you give them. Having more options probably won't change the frequency, just the flavour a bit.Originally Posted by BrandX
Not only that, some will take the options and could try to make something (and act it) to what others may consider offensive. Believe it or not, people can people quite uncivil.
Not that I don't want some of these options mentioned, just something to think about, on why some options aren't ported over.
That said, I'd love a Baron Jacket for females, I'd love for them to make it so I could use the witch jacket with the fur shoulders, and males should for sure have the Hacker Top Design added to their list of top designs!
Baron Jacket for females... I like that!
Very good point! The ability to offend is already there!Quote:Originally Posted by Johnstone
It can already be done. Five minutes in the costume creator, and I got this:
I doubt we'd see a huge influx in transgender/transexual/whatever toons if we got more options. Most people just want more options to create awesome looks, they don't want to make crap that I can make in 5 minutes now.
............ I know. I'm sorry. I was feeling out of it yesterday and that's all I could come up with. Thank you for your help!Quote:Originally Posted by Xzero45
You used Sephiroth. I can not take your argument seriously. Here are better examples of men with long hair.
You can already make naked ladies, guys in fishnets, priest and child duos, and a whole slue of other stuff. I am so for costume proliferation!!Quote:Originally Posted by LISAR
I just hope if they chop the male legs to make skirts work they do it based on having a skirt not based on under garment.
I fully support costume proliferation.
Since the game is already marked "Suggestive Themes" no change in rating would occur.
Drag only get you to T.
I have already made women out of the huge build and have gotten a lot of compliments and lots of money through CCs with them!!
http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showthread.php?t=216600
From my experience, most people (like 90%+) are open minded and accepting. Personally, I'm offended by Demon Sumoning, Devil emblem, and other stuff like that. But I tolerated it because of all the good that I can do with this game and all the fun I have with it.
No matter what you do or don't do, someone, somewhere will be offended by it. Don't make the many suffer because of the few!!!
-
Um.... seriously, there's a huge issue here. Why can't a male samuri toon have a panda on his shoulder? Why can't male toons have the dragon/cloud bracers?
Long hair works for guys... like this one
http://www.finalfantasycosplay.net/w...hiroth_ff7.jpg
Skirts work for guys! Maybe no minis, but the long and pencil ones would. Could easily be called the lower half of a tunic! Didn't african tribesmen and hawaian guys have grass skirts? There's lots of options.
Guys are totally be left out here!
And this might be great for CoH Developers because all the meshes are already made! Maybe a little tweeking but otherwise would be easy compared to making something from scratch! -
I love blasters, I just find that after level 15-20ish you just have to play smart. Running at a mob with a fireball is going to get you dead. Unleashing your full wrath against a herded mob or 3 that's been taunted by a tank is where blasters shine. Or when they can't do anything because of a controller or the like.
Some one sets em up, and the blaster knocks em down!
So many times I'm playing a tank and I'm thinking to myself, I wish there was a blaster on my team!
But I don't think anyone has mentioned, unless I missed it (which I probably did)
Dead things don't hurt you.
I'm actually playing my Sonic/Energy Blapper (That's right; a melee blaster!) a lot and I'm finding I can take down a +1 boss before they can make 2 attacks on me. Not drawing any attention with AoE attacks, I can wade through a distracted group faster then I could with any of my scrappers at the same level. I've been thanked for the extra damage I brought in, it is really noticable. -
1 week to respec all my toons?
As a self proclaimed altaholic..... I had better clear my calender.
Would be nice if they 2nd one was part of the i19 badge you get for just logging in. Claim it like you do the veteran reward respecs.
Still REALLY excited about i19. I can actually fit in a travel power and a second attack for my tanks before level 20! Yay! -
Quote:Be like a hurricane cannonball..... hmm... Interesting. Definatly worth a shot. I'll let you know how it works.Originally Posted by Psylenz
Actually... I would modify your last suggestion with your build, put your bots in stay/defensive. Run in with superspeed, snowstorm, and hurricane. The first thing that aggroes the foes is the tohit debuff. When the spawn is aggroed to you, the bots will react from range and your AoE splash should be diverted off your minions. If the conditions are right, you can gale the bad boy to the wall or corner for added mitigation.
In short, take the alpha shots on your mastermind and try to keep the splash off the pets. -
Actually it was one of the Tanks. The big armoured bosses who's name I can't remember right now. It was the grenade launcher from his back that did it.
So how can I take alpha with a robo/storm MM?
Send one peon in first?
Send in the assault bot first?
Jump in myself with hurricane and knock them all silly? -
I love my robo/storm MM... but... now I'm having trouble.
Got over to the hero side, ran up to a freakshow boss and with one shot, boom, took down my drones, my bots were at half life and I'm sitting there going wtf?!?
So, here's my build that I'm running right now.
I do have another question; Is the freezing rain putting out the fires that my Assault Bot creates with its missiles?
