(it's my word of the day)

I enjoyed this.

neat!

Anytime I die face down my sword passes through my head. I don't have a screenie on me right now but i can find one when i get back, or worse to worse make one.

So the pack of ramen I just made was a mysterious shade of red...not being able to read it I threw it together and found out why. That red stands for FIRE!!! that stuff was seriously hot. I'll have to see if they have it in the 'states that stuff was seriously hot. For those of you that didn't log in thursday night, I'm in the wonderful land of korea. I love it here but the food I think is going to kill me. (sometimes it'll give you funny looks!)

Is this why the queen of hearts has no husband?

alas you'll never know.

I think i got 2-3 level on bloom, would have liked to play a bit more but I actually did a lot this weekend along with being pretty congested all weekend.

nice piece.

@weekenders

Enjoy the weekend!

I was gonna say hide the booze but i think i'm too late.

welcome back LJ

perhaps it would be better to just bring back a different necroded thread every week.


to keep things....fresh


er

Caem got it right. MilkShakes has turned her party life into a business more or less and is much more sedate in her age. Though by comparison to Char Cat almost anyone is considered "demure."

its the thread number you can see it in the URL. silver more than likely found it amusing that this thread was numberd 1 2 3 4 5 6

You can find a trio of Cat Girls in my character album in my sig, MilkShakes Char Cat and Meowce. MilkShakes started life as the life of the party, attending parties whenever they could be found in the ancient pocket-D. Now later in life she tends to host and organize the parties for the various SG's in her coalition. Now she lives a quiet life of semi retirement (during the school year)

Char Cat...is all about Fire! Where MilkShakes is demure party host Char Cat is vengeful dictator.

Finally, Meowce, my latest cat girl creation is lacking a back story and demeanor to fit. Given her contrasting name of mouse and meow she will likely be mostly bipolar running or fighting being determined by flip of the mental coin.

the only reason i brought it up is cause you were asking for differences. I thought the older one was a better value because of the mouse (especially for my sister who is on a laptop and doesn't have a true mouse for it)

oh no now that you posted again your at 601, you'll have to wait till 700 to celebrate again what a shame :P

gratz on bein addicted to the forums it's better than pain killers :P

*is watching House*

the new one also ditched the mouse. I just bought one for my sister, sadly i don't know that she has used it yet.

very pretty bayani, very casa blanca...haven't seen that movie though...should prolly do that :P

I agree, it doens't work out great for all powers at first glance. I'd say if there is a proc you can slot in that power then there's probably a way to make it work.
One of the reasons I choose the enh route rather than the PC in the CC is that it's an option close existing code. There's no need to add another drop down box in the CC or edit the powers code to add yet another piece of variable data. Basically, you could take the procedural code give it a 100% chance to hit and remove any modifiers like damage and mez. It's just the animation. Sure you have to add in a few more animations but by comparison I think this is the easier route.

That said i'm not a developer familiar with the code governing Procs. But i'm not here to argue the difficulty, just the concept.

I was just using the chance for immob as an example of where this already exists in the game. The primary goal is to add customization on a 3rd level and give it a little twist so that it's not a further aspect of the CC. Ideally they have zero affect on your powers and simply mesh with whatever you already have or replace what you already have for something that provides the same benefit (when compared to something of the same level) but with the added customization.

I think that in the case of TT or similar the affect wouldn't need to mesh with their host power. If you slotted TT with the fire custom, a hit would result in the enemy bursting into flames or shooting flares, whatever, but if the fire goes out ahead or time that isn't really a big deal or if they continue to burn afterwards because the affect is purely visual. It's a storytelling aid, it's to sell the idea that your character isn't tapping into a netherworld but some sort of fireworld, or however you want to spin your choice of combination.

If there is a vendor in mercy and cap au and atlas and TI that sells level 1 customization enhancements in all sorts of flavors for 50inf a pop that is perfectly fine by me. If you have to wait for that dark energy PAEnh (trying out some different names) to drop to change one of your powers over or buy it from the BM/WW then hey alls well.

The delivery method and application are really irellevant. I'm mostly looking for whether or not being able to change this characteristic that is difficult to change using colors alone is something that people are interested in.

Power Customization was a massive step in the right direction. By simply changing the colors of a power, a vast array of options open up to players from a story telling point of view. We can take something like energy blast and color it orange and white and say we are taking the power of the sun and directing it at our foes. And none of this affects the way a power is balanced.

By using IO Proc's like chance for immobilize and chance for fire damage we can expand upon that customization. When chance for immobilize is successful an electric field pops up and immobilizes the target. Take out the immobilization effect and leave the graphic and we have a new form of enhancement that allows characters to apply effects like fire and electricity to whatever power they choose. The depth of customization increases allowing players to change the effects of their powers on their foes. Back to my Sun based character, If i wanted to further express that trait, powers originating from the Sun, I could use a Fire effect modification to alter the way bonesmasher affects the foe. Causing them to burst into flames (again not for damage just for appearance) or bouncing the flares off of them. These effects would be moderately subtle so as not to affect the preexisting effects. Using Vines from the plant control set wouldn't cause the vines to dissappear but would cause the foe trapped inside to burst into flames or to start arcing. The end effect if paired with red or blue vines would be wholly new and all the more interesting.

Implementation. There are two ways to implement this sort of customization, at least that I have thought of. The first is to add the custom component to common IO's or enh. Say a damage enhhancement with a fire customization. How often these drop is not something I want to address but rare or ultra rare is not something i think most people would appreciate.

The second option is a generic Customization enhancement that can be combined with any existing enhancement or IO. The customization enhancement would carry no effect bonus and would be a little more flexible than the previous implementation as you wouldn't need to worry about getting a fire/acc or an electric/recharge.

Thanks for reading, I know it was a bit long but I hope you've been inspired.

Thank you oh so much, and sorry that it took so long to post this. And special thanks to the talented xJoedx for doing all the hard work

ah, i will have to look into that. You ought to be able to do the same with a camera that does video right? Then use the same process but use the video taken from the camera. afterall a webcam is a just a simpler camera right?

aw poor clutch...still looks really great. I'd expect to see something like this on an icewind dale box.

Those pictures are fantastic. I have so much trouble getting any color or detail into my pictures. normally have to drag them through photoshop to get the black and color right, like i said i'm working with a $100 scope and in the city at the time, so those don't help. Also doesn't help when the camera you're using is a 3mpxl point and shoot. Very impressive.

he doesn't need the key anyway he just finds an unlocked window...this is how he stares at you in your sleep...

that part will probably not stop...the key just made it easier :P
