not yet, maybe in a future passes, but pools, epics and patrons are not going to be in i16. check sm's posts, it was his second to last one in this thread, apparently this is from posi's mouth.

martial arts may have been a reason, no question there, but someone, dont know whether it was a developer or a poster who had chatted during a meet and greet had confirmed that it was part of a host of issues and just reconciling martial arts really wouldnt fix the other problems, and in jay's posts he really just says he wasnt happy with what they were able to make. now maybe under a new graphics engine(which has been hinted but is bu no means confirmed) they might have wiggle room or something different.

I know i have been following the robes/dresses thing because i keep hoping for an outfit like lau from virtua fighter for rian, but the no long robes thing kind of puts a kibosh on that.

Just for a historical question then, because the lore does interest me. during this time, the russians were pushing back successfully against the Nazis after their victory at stalingrad , would their supers have made a difference and perhaps cut into axis territory? making a russian zone outside of reichsman's influence, but instead under the successors of the stalinists?

My question is, if we're getting alternate Martial Arts animations that use fists instead of kicks, can we get the costume department to stop using Martial Arts as an excuse and FINALLY give us long skirts/robes?

But really, Power Costumization is so very much appreciated. Thank you Paragon Studios team for a tremendous feature.

[/ QUOTE ]Can you find where they ever stated that it was martial arts holding it back? Looking through jay's post history he mentions robes/dresses below the knee just looking below his standards on player characters, but never mentions the animations being an issue, could you source that?

[ QUOTE ]
Have we heard if we can change the powers customization based on the costume slot, or is it going to be one set of power color customization for one character?

[/ QUOTE ]

Powers can be individually customized per costume slot, but not supergroup mode.

[/ QUOTE ]holy...wow, really..you guys did a little too much work, wow.

[ QUOTE ]
How I feel.

[/ QUOTE ] how i feel regarding power customization...particularly the martial arts animations thing

seriously guys, this is one of the features i have wanted since i started way back in 04, first weapon customization, and now this, this just made my week last week when we found out, and the last few months have needed some good news.

the interesting thing to me is that it seems to show that you can select the powers during creation, meaning that those of us who dont get into closed beta can still futz around with it, i appreciate that because my work schedual makes the time commitment required by beta testing unfeaseable and as such would not make a good beta tester. but now i will be able to at least try it out when it hits cb in a limited capacity.

if you have a chance, and they have a running build up, could yu see which martial arts animations were changed, and a rough desription of the changes. thats my BIG issue and im chomping at assorted bits for any info on it.

did they ever fix halos? i remeber back during the winter event they said them being non-tintable was a bug..well..i know you guys were busy but any news on that?

I've been told that before Assault Rifle went with the 'Uber Gun of Doom', you would pull out a shotgun when using Beanbag or Solid Shot, and when you wanted to snipe someone, you would use a sniper gun. Or a flamethrower for flamethrower Ignite, etc.

[/ QUOTE ]if be down for a full faultline style revamp of the shard. Its got amazing concepts and just isnt quite there in execution, plus a non-interacting version of the shard for villains to enter.

heh, i know you are in the eu territories sam, but you caught me off guard, red faction has been out for a bit in the us already.

throwing and weaponizing background items.
a space zone.
whatever the heck the coming storm is.

[ QUOTE ]
To be fair, I missed that as well. But I was gone for a month and a half.

[/ QUOTE ]its a matter of attitude. everyone misses details, but when you act smug about it, its fun watching you get slammed with the facts.

and for those who remember, i got nailed with being smug in the power customization thread and missing a detail, and for my attitude, i deserved to get slammed on it too, check before you wreck.

[ QUOTE ][*] Embarrassing Situations in Sitcoms -- I literally have to change the channel or leave the room to avoid seeing the characters humiliated at times.

[/ QUOTE ]

LOL I do the same thing, in any show. I just can't watch, I feel the embarrassment myself.

[/ QUOTE ]same, cant watch those stupid singing/talent shows because of it. some idiot decides to broadcast how little talent they have, i have to leave cringing .

well buzz, i have been a little surprised with the lack of story as well, but honestly, given the amount of mechanical additions, im not overly surprised. AE and power customization are big things, and given that they may have taken up most of the time of staffers usually used to generate parts of contnet, as well as having people creating content for the big expansion, its not entirely surprising. Using issue 10 as a benchmark may be setting the bar a bit high, that was one of the msot content heavy releases we have had, compared to faultline, croatoa, heck, even the hollows, and it introduced no real new mechanics, Other than cross faction teaming, and we kind of had that with the v-day mishes) so i really wouldnt expect something like that for a while.

UMMmmmm...
Your Registartion on the forums is 2006. ^_^;

=<_<=

I must be missing something....

[/ QUOTE ]on the second page(given my posts per page) he/she mentions that they started back then, but left shortly thereafter.

Scrappers aren't basically the same though, they had no such thing as a critical hit.

I think there were other changes but that's the big one.

Oh yeah: no travel supression in combat.

[/ QUOTE ]also, if i recall correctly, attacks didnt queue(my word that is a oddly spelled word) if you werent in range, you got the (target is not in range" and had to re-click it when you were closer, that made melee a pain in the butt. now i just set up crane/eagles claw, run in and meet the first opponent with the least polite of handshakes. runners used to be the leading cause of scrapper-pattern baldness.

[/ QUOTE ]

Speaking of runners, that was another fix -- you used to have to be ahead of a runner to be within melee range of it, based on how the computer kept track of npc mob positions and your position. That was really annoying.

[/ QUOTE ]true, but the enemeis had some non-euclidian wide-reciever skills and always zigzagged me, my system wasnt exactly beefy back then, so i tended to have to predict things before visual reality sluggishly reacted.

does justice have a server channel? those are good for getting teams, particularly task forces.

Density Control was morphed into Kinetics.

[/ QUOTE ]

Kinetics was listed also. Though I guess since these are single powers and not sets, then sure, it became Increase Density.

Man you guys are just party poopers. Let your imagination run free, dig?

[/ QUOTE ]i dunno, id say its good to find out we didnt miss out on things, instead they are just called other things. you cant miss darkness control when it turns out we actually have it. a bird in the hand is worth two in kate bush.

for doc deliliah, must not live in apartment with elevators.

was playing an itf last night where our kin liberally kept my recharge up to the point that i had seeds up a lot with my dom, i enjoyed it significantly.
