Quote:i sincerely appreciate you choosing Cretaceous specifically. you could, thematically put a Volcano into a dino-zone, and expand on the non-human rigs mostly with new heads and tails and back pieces.Originally Posted by Mallerick
New zones I'd like to see:
* Cretaceous Zone
* Marianas Trench
* Mars Zone
* Rollercoaster Zone
* Daytona Beach
* Disney World
* Suburbs Zone
* Volcano Zone
* Akron, Ohio Zone
* Common Sense Zone
i also second the Ocean Trench but only if its on the same map as an ancient underwater city.
anything else in space, is needed
.
a roller coaster zone/beach zone/ themepark zone can be collapsed into one.
a suburb zone should also have an elementary, and children who throw rocks.
that's five zones i'd like to see. but we DO have a lot of zones so these should all be co-op or pvp... and i dont get the Ohio zone... or the common sense zone... O_o. the dino and the ocean ones could be via Ouro or Midnighters, like Cim. along the time travel vein, i'd like to see a whild-west mini-zone or atleast a map or two for a new Mid/Ouro arc. -

The perks should start appearing on your account sometime after 11am pst. If you're logged in at that time, you may need to log out and log back in.
Because its being granted via a one-time script, however, some people may not see the items until later in the day.

If I were the boss (which I am not yet, but one day!!!!!) no really. If I were in charge I would pause Dink, or the other guy that never posts, and have them make a male and huge sash to include in the next issue.
It would solve a long standing complaint.
and it should be one the same way the gunslinger ports were given to females.
Take a little extra time and expand Carnie pieces to males. Sash, Masks, Head Details.
I would also really like the Barbarian leather bikini and Barbarian Crowns ported to males, and the furry briefs and arm details ported to females.
done and done!

Quote:ooOooOohh now NPC, models those i would like to see.Originally Posted by Zyphoid
Paragon Wiki should have them. Including the ones seen in Yin's Shop, and the other pawn shops.
I know they have a list of all of the PC models. With pics too iirc. I would just link them, but I am a bit out of it because of meds today. and then have ported to players :P
they also need some weapon proliferation, between the Assault Rifle, the Beam Rifle, and the Laser cannon for MM:Bots.
also, might as well make the fire sword and ice sword from fire/ice meelee available to ATs w/ bladed weapons.
also cool: double the fire scimitar, turn one upside down, and you can have a fire-bow. maybe the same w/ ice.
weapon model ports please! -
Quote:this would be awesome. tiny bonus granted if it matches your origin, but open [and effective/fun/useful] for all ATs and Origins.Originally Posted by Nurse_Bronx
I wouldn't mind it, instead of being origin specific and banned from the others, simply giving a boost to the abilities within, should your origin match. Like with the Nemesis Staff or Blackwand. Perhaps a large bonus for an exact match, and a smaller bonus if the origin is one that is linked by DOs.
That sounds reasonable to me, but I don't have to program it.

Praetoria City is referenced, somewhere, as one of the last exporters of high tech goods. Given the relatively extensive dockyards and the airfield in Neutropolis, there has to be somewhere worth travelling to.
perhaps something beyond the reach of cole and hamidon, but significant enough for Cole to trade with?
or those could be residual from before hamidon destroyed the world... no?
or perhaps a protected agricultural territory where they grow food and... wolves O_o... to eat for Cole's city. -

I don't disagree that the changes failed, and spectacularly. I tried PvP before, just because I could take my build and know how to play. Post I13, I don't know what the hell is going on in PvP, what suppresses, what doesn't and how I should build. If I ever wanted to bother, I'd have to do so much homework that for something I don't even like, there's just no point.
and all this.Quote:Originally Posted by I Burnt The Toast
Why I don't pvp:
1. It has never been about skill. It has always been about uber builds and ganging up on one or two people (referencing zone pvp post issue 9)
2. The absolute adolescent trash talking is annoying after 5 minutes
3. In reference to above: the homophobic and racists remarks are disgusting and seen as funny and acceptable - I don't hang around racist or homophobes irl why would I do it in my leisure time?
4. The rewards - Hmm let's see - a minuscule chance at a worthless recipe drop - no thanks. Sure there are badges, but I honestly could care less about the pvp badges.
5. Stand and fight already - zone pvp is run run run run phase run run run run - boring.
Every now and then some friends and I get together and arena for fun - and it is fun because we don't treat it seriously or get angry and start trash talking each other.
I actually preferred pvp issue 7-9 with SOs when it actually took skill. And to those who whine that Issue 13 killed pvp - no the pvp community killed pvp. Back in the day pvp was about skill and people would actually gratz others when they were beaten - now it's all about slinging profanity and nothing more than a huge pissing contest.
If you want a sample of zone pvp - watch the Arena Chat channel for about an hour - the complete infantile "conversations" will show you the maturity level of the pvp community.
tldr;
the pvp community is rude and the lack of rewards make pvp not worthwhile.
i've gone in a few times, maybe once a year, just to end up reminding myself why i never go in. it's a whole other game, that i have no base experience with and have no idea how to build for [and i still barely have a grasp on invention sets] and as soon as i go in two or three players who live in there and have wicked builds kill me moments after i respawn. also, they either dont speak to me at all, or act really dumb and juvenile.
whats the point in venturing to a zone where all you see is the ground. no matter that my character might be good with the right build and practice and group support, because i can never even get to that point.
i have enjoyed the arena from time to time with a friend or two, but because pvp is so... forgotten... in this game, outta sight outta mind, the arena barely ever gets any attention from me either.
i dont have a solution and i dont expect one to be easy, so i sympathize with pretty much everyone lol. -
maybe ill be pleasantly surprised when a Black Knights badge and an Animus Arcana badge unlocks alt models for the staff when i23 hits.
otherwise...
yay trident being the most exciting stick!

"Why are there no quivers yet?" was going to be my actual thread title, but i know it's a complicated issue that the Devs are well aware of. And the answer has been: "Because right now it's complicated to have pieces like holsters or scabbards that would have weapons in them when not being used."
which is an ok answer but...
plenty of NPC's have quivers already, see: Wyvern. a quiver of all weapon related pieces, would be the least neccessary to have the bow stuck on there. and i dont see an issue with having some back options available [like the Wyvern quiver] long before they figure out the pieces with animations for drawn/undrawn weapons comes around, if ever.
Also, plenty of combat-active things exist already, and im not a coder/dev so i dont know how the mechanism works exactly, but rocket boots work only while flying, and the auras all have combat options, so why cant there be a quiver with an 'combat aura' of an absent bow, thereby having a bow while 'not-in-combat' and as the auto setting.
also, i wouldn't want a bow on my quiver. and if i had dual pistols, it would make absolutely no difference to me if my holsters were pernamently empty or permanently with guns. some holsters even have flaps over where the gun goes and you dont really see the gun either way... but maybe that's just me...
O_O
but mostly i just dont understand completely and was wondering if someone could shed light on this matter for me. and maybe a quiver will FINALLY happen with the chainmail/leather armor set... but i dont remember seeing on on the black knights. :shrug:
any ideas?

Quote:lol UGH now you reminded me.Originally Posted by SilverAgeFan
Ugh. Don't remind me. That just made me sad.
And it reminds me of the official comment about them not doing holsters or back weapons if they "can't do them right" which was then clarified to mean involving drawable weapons. Which then means: "not a dual pistols character? no guns 4 j00!" A terrible costume design availability philosophy at this stage of development for the game, IMO.
most lame reason EVER to withhold a quiver. for real. EXTRA lame that multiple NPC's sport quivers just fine. -

I'll just say that your ability to "imagine" the current hair or hair-like features of this game giving you an effect that mimics pics like these is far greater than mine.
and as Antonia would say about our dreams of now fashionable models of GW's cape-rigged hair... "it is possible"... O_<

Quote:i feel like a free powerset will either be powerset proliferation ooorrrrrrr one of the other sets leaked. i think penny's powerset is too specific maybe, despite being highly requested, and therefore would work best if they sold it so they could make uber bank from it, which they would.Originally Posted by BrandX
At one point they said they plan to release one new power set free to VIPS with every issue. Could be Psi Melee is the free one with i23.
Of course, things change, and that might not happen now.
as would the blast set requested from day 1. :'( i just rolled like three characters for it to save the names i want lol. -
oh yes!
while in the AE making a mish, I was able to customize the Ancients from the Banished Pantheon.
i REALLY want their head-auras. it was almost a combination of thunderhead [minus the thunder] with some runes [but not rune overkill like the actual runes aura] plus some glowing aura tossed in. idk if its the same aura the masks ahve always been using and was just ported to the new boss's heads or what, bit ah wants it bad.
it is gorgeous. and their entire costume too, of course

also, the hair-cape when you mix the bridal veil with Praetorian belladonna, and close your eyes, can actually give the effect of something like this:

Quote:this is why i dont want simply a straight port of GW's hair.Originally Posted by Samuel_Tow
I've never been a fan of "cape hair," myself. I find it looks terrible on Ghost Widow and I also find that it's very limited in the kind of hair it can depict, specifically limited to flat, sparse hair with no volume. It can't depict dynamic pigtails or a dynamic pony tail, it can't depict animated short hair and so forth, and if we ever did get "cape hair," it would be mutually exclusive with capes.
If we are to get moving hair of some sort, I'd rather this used more widely-applicable, better-looking tech than what is very obviously a cape instead of hair.
this is why i suggest a new model that isnt as flat. the "static" portion of the hair option could be bigger, and more voluminous, as most of the hair options right now are pretty flat and straight. something larger, maybe not like the foxy afro, but something more full, with the 'cape' portion wrapping around the head more similar to the jacket 'cape' portions that wrap almost all the way around the body would give the illusion of fuller hair and movement. draw curly hair on the cape instead of belladonna's straight hair, and you have something more interesting and satisfying. if i can i'll get an image of GW and her hair then MS paint what i'd like using that as a starting point, if my explanation doesn't make sense still. and sorry XD ms paint is fast and easy.
also i consider the bridal veil slightly more complicated than a normal cape or gw's hair because it's pinched on one end and folded on the other, and is transparent on top of having 'invisible' edges. XD
also, i have no idea who the girl with the gorgeous hair is on the right. when i was making my sample image, i simply googled "gorgeous hair" lol and found one that expressed my desire for a hair option.
:P -
Quote:i dont see how the two are mutually exclusive. that might be buttcape or like scirocco, a loin cape [also all need to happenOriginally Posted by RevolverMike
Metaphorically speaking, if there was only 1 anchor point left, I'd choose something else over this. I don't have very many female toons and honestly, no ones going to be paying attention to your hair ladies. When a trial is being formed I'm not going to look around at people thinking "oh hey, I like their hair".
Not saying its not a good idea. It would be a nice something extra to have. But thats really all it is. What this game really needs are robes. Actual leg coverings. Think circle of thorns. Which would translate into dresses for the females. Win/win]
also, taking a closer look at the new talons of vengence banshee costumes and their long skirts, which are different it *seems* from the old CoT and Tsoo lower body robes in construction, i'd say that those arent too far off but who really knows, my mind plays tricks all the time.

Come to think of it, we already have a cape-animated hairstyle for players: the bridal veil. Realizing that, there's not really an excuse not to let us have the option of hair that works like both versions of Belladonna Vetrano's... those of us who want to wear some other cape costume part can just stick with the same non-animated long styles we've always used.
RIGHT! i mentioned the bridal veil specifically because it's totally the same thing sort of.

Quote:lol i know, im just reiterating that we should have it, and a newer, fuller, curly incarnation of it. yes the curls will be flat technically, as a cape, but still the pattern could easily look like curly hairOriginally Posted by GuyPerfect

just converting half the things from this thread that would be easy converts would give everyone costume-gasms for a whole year and fulfill so many long time requests.
anyway here's two more!

So since Zwill finally closed the costume reques thread... I hope they put up a new one soon!
Also, I hope that they go through the old one and catalog or make a spreadsheet of all the requests and mark them off as: already in game for players, in for NPCs (to be converted/remain restricted), what costume group, impossible to make, will make later, making right now... along with potential categories for groups like Science/Magic/Dino/Ent/Spectral/Tech/etc.
heck i'd happily complie it all for them if they are willing to look at it and give it to whomever it concerns to render. Who's in charge of it now? I know Tunnel Rat and Honey Badger make Fx for powers and auras, and Dink does a bunch of costume stuff...
anyway, I did want to just mention that there is still a lack of good long hair. for me, glam is used a lot for long hair, but it's bulky on top and skinny on the bottom, and doesnt fullfill my needs. right now Tielekku has the best hair after ghost widow/belladonna vetrano, but their hair is all straight-like and it's more the cape part that makes it lovely.
i'd like to suggest a long hair option or three O_o more using the attatched cape option for a long, moving hair item. seeing as how cape/back pieces can be blocked with other pieces, including the already cape-hair veil piece, this shouldnt bee too difficult beyond the work needed to make a new hair option and a new cape option and once it's done the hair-cape could also probably work as a new fur-cape option too.
i am no 3-D artist but here is my suggestion, which is basically a new, long, pretty, curly, thicker but not awkward like glam, hair option. i'd also open it up to males too as this in white along with the big bushy beard could give Zeus a very powerful look.
this also might be accomplished with an opaque tendril like aura giving medusoid hair in a billowy trail attatched to the back of the head, similar to DC's Starfire.
anyway, here's my mock up for... you know... GOOD hair.

i figure alt models are the best way to give playes MM customization, and using the in game villain group models makes the most sense.
badge unlocks make sense too, for the various groups alt models.
