I've often felt that the omnipresent overlord which is Arachnos was always a mistake. As far as I'm concerned, every island should have had its own independent governor and faction ruling it. I could see both Mercy and Grandville being Arachnos land, but the rest? I'd rather see Port Oaks as the crime-ridden port town with a glitzy villa area for the rich mobsters, Aeon City as the beautiful city of the future built over the tomb of a demon and run by a mad but actually INTELLIGENT scientist, Sharkhead as the small mining town of poor people and dirty jobs, Nerva as the independent peaceful state and St. Martial Island as the perfect, gleaming city of the rich where the poor undercity is invisible unless you know to look for it.
I'd have liked to see a Nemesis island, too, which would be a perfect utopia where everyone is genuinely happy and content and with good reason - their benevolent master provides for them and asks for nothing in return. No Praetorian façade totalitatian state, an honest-to-god perfect island with which Nemesis can demonstrate the argument he's always making - that he's better at ruling the world than anybody else.
Why is that idea so perfect
and the isles so ******?
Seriously, I understand why all the blue-side zones have to be similarish. Because it's all different sections of one city. But the Isles are a whole chain of islands. Why do they all look exactly the same. -
Wait, I change my mind. Bomber Jackets can wait.
What we really need is hair.
Lots and lots of hair.
Long hair, medium hair, short hair.
Like...it's so weird. We have so many styles of hair and yet have such a narrow selection of hair. At the same time. -
With the release of the Retro Scifi bundle
the only thing I can think of is Bomber Jackets
-
Haha, ahhhh the classic "breasts and butt" pose.
It wouldn't be a comic book game without it.
I think the stomach window is hilarious though. -
My main Villain, Seismecca, is a sort of mix between Greed and Malice, heavily leaning towards the latter.
She's a former hero that's not..all there. She definitely sees her innate mutant powers as a reason to hold herself higher than everyone else, and she loves stealing money and being rich. But, if she had to burn every bill she had to light a hero on fire she wouldn't give a second thought about it.
She's a personified steam roller that will take down anything in her way. -

Titan Weapon...definitely.
if we're talking titan weapons, we could need a folded up ironing board -

Kinda hard to make a whole pack based around that

I 'd like new powersets that would go with concepts I want to make that are currently impossible.

Quote:Cod pieces?Originally Posted by Golden Girl
I would
Because what exactly could they put in it that wouldn't be useful to females?
Anyways, I'm wondering how this is even a numbers game to begin with. You pay 400 points for both the male and female outfits. The only thing changing is the options in wearing them. -
Quote:Can it be even called a "costume pack"? It's more like an accessory bundle considering it doesn't have any 'outfits'.Originally Posted by BellaStrega
Also, the Carnival of Light pack is actually pretty small for serving as a centerpiece of injustice here, as it's one of the smallest costume packs available - the majority for females. But I believe it's all of 12 pieces? Many costume packs seem to have far more.
I wouldn't be surprised if we got a male oriented costume bundle down the line anyways.
Honestly, this whole thing is less about costume piece numbers and more about...

True. As long as I'm being thought a misogynist, I may as well tell the ladies to put on that aforementioned bartender apron and get back in the kitchen, right? -_-
Or a rolling pin Broadsword. -
Also, I hope you realize that if we were indeed to "divvy up the boy and girl columns" as the Gentlemen put it
you wouldn't be getting a new spiffy male outfit to wear
you would be getting saloon dresses and hair bows
Which there's totally nothing wrong with. Cause that would be awesome. But I just felt like it was necessary to point out what you would be getting so that when the time comes, you don't ***** about that too. -
Quote:Because boys are cowboysOriginally Posted by Chad Gulzow-Man
Right. Point me a post by ANYONE who said that girls shouldn't have gotten the Gunslinger gear because they "shouldn't wear coats and jackets."
When you're done not finding that, then give me a good reason why guys don't get an olde-timey bartender outfit with suspenders and an apron included in that bundle?
obviously -

Girls wearing coats and jackets?
Blasphemous! YOU WILL DRESS LIKE A SALOON GIRL AND ONLY LIKE A SALOON GIRL AND YOU WILL LIKE IT -
Give this girl a raise.
Now if we can port over the carnival of light belt to males, so I can have a peacebringer looking belt like all the kheldian NPCs have, that would be awesome -
Mine are pretty simple;
1. Do what I'm told, god knows I don't need to make anything more complicated than it needs to be
2. Stock up and throw out Awakens to everyone like candy
3. Make corny jokes throughout the whole thing -
Quote:Pretty much this. The things so broken that I'm actually discouraged from making any edits or additions once I type it in the first time.Originally Posted by Techbot Alpha
Ultimately, though, I'd just be happy if they went back and fixed the smeg-damned bugs with the text box itself. That thing has been wearing its pants on its head since the AE came out, and never got fixed...
Anyways, I usually keep mine short, just for a personal preference of my brain going 'tl;dr' at unedited walls of text. I usually just start with anything apparent with the character that can't be conveyed with the character models, then height (since the scales are wonky, there's no standard height system. So I feel the need to at least inform them), Outward personality, and then a good paragraph of backstory, at least to establish a motivation (again, tying into the personality.) -
Quote:And that's great. Most if not the majority of villain side content is directly towards villains like you. The bargaining, power hungry, anything to rise through the ranks (within reason of course) villain. You want money and power and you spend most of your time fighting other villains to get it (which means that redside content is primarily the same as blueside content with some text differences)Originally Posted by Samuel_Tow
Playing the bad guy doesn't make me feel bad. I have plenty of villains who would scare the pants off Mr. Phipps. It's playing THAT KIND of villain who brings only vile and no class that makes me feel underwhelmed. You very much CAN do evil without seeking to revolt your audience.
Take a look at Lord Recluse, for instance. Yes, Arachnos as a whole do some very, very bad things that, when you get down to them, will make your skin crawl. But Recluse himself? Everything any story of his comes up, it always focuses on the ways in which he's awesome and glosses over the ways in which he's repugnant.
He's powerful, both personally and in terms of followers. He's smart, enough to usurp and run his own villain organisation, to say nothing of his own sovereign state. Every time his name comes up, it's treated with either respect and admiration or respect and fear, and every time his name makes a splash. Daos and Mako and Brass and the others may be trying to play their little games and chase their little agendas, but every time Recluse gets involved, everyone shuts up and listens because he IS the big guy in the isles.
That's the kind of villain I want to be - the cool kind. If that doesn't involve murder, kidnapping, selling people for body parts, murdering civilians and so forth, then so be it. I want a villain with a cause above and beyond being evil, and whose character is expressed in more than the evil he or she does. The kind of villain I want to be is defined by his dreams and aspirations, not his body count or his penchant for cruelty. Those are, ultimately, just means to an end. What that end is defines what kind of villain we're dealing with, and most of what's out there for player villains is vastly underwhelming.
Mind you, it's not underwhelming because it's not "evil" enough. It's plenty evil. It's underwhelming because "evil" is all it is.
I think it's a bit silly to be complaining "evil for the sake of evil" missions when I can probably count the truly evil ones on one hand. -

Am I the only one who thinks that Crosscut should just be quietly 'disappeared' for the sake of all humanity?
as my granny would say "there's something not quite right about that boy."
If it wasn't for ax crazy villains like Crosscut, we might as well rename City of Villains, "City of Morally Ambiguous Mercenaries Who Fight Other Villains (who are also morally ambiguous business men) For Profit." -
An evil villain doing something evil? Stop the presses!
