    But it's time to move on and the next step on the agenda: Liquid characters. Now that you can animate tails, Would it be possible to animate other costume elements? Obviously this provides more possibilities than just liquids. Imagine circuitry that actually pulsate with energy. Or steampunk cybernetics with whirring gears.

    In short; The City of Heroes Costume Creator is the best in the business. Gimme more!!!
    Can we have some screen shots of your fire dude?

    No I didn't see that at all. I kinda lke the idea of having multiple wing sets, thats kinda why I started the thread.

    Steampunkette
    "Having Anime characters running around with six wings lording over two-winged people as "Lower Level" just boggles the mind."

    Isn't that what we do as LvL 30+ with Auras?

    Some guy running around in spandex...Hmm he's prolly below lvl 20.
    Some guy running around in spandex, and a cape...Hmm he's lvl 20 or higher.
    Some guy running around in spandex, a cape, and an aura...Hmm he's at lease lvl 30.

    I do however like the idea of making them unlockable, but have miminmum lvl requirements.
  7. Try looking into Shinkyoku Soukai Polyphonica, but the anime isn't the point Porky, the wings are.
    Here we can see 2 set of wings




    And here we see 3 sets of wings

    Yes, this is exactly what I was thinking. I had a more excited responce, but the scripting would not allow me to post it.

    So far, we have 3 emission points I can think of from the character: Mouth, Eyes and Hands. As is, I think the emission-point specific powers give those powers character (i.e. Breath of Fire only makes sense coming from the mouth, X-ray beam eyes only makes sense coming from the eyes) so I will disagree with this suggestion.

    However, I think adding *some* options wouldn't hurt. Maybe give Neutrino Bolt and 1 other attack an 'eye animation', give fireball and flares a 'mouth animation', give scream, shriek and shout 'hand animations', etc.

    The reason I say 'some' is, well, Irradiate coming from the chest makes no sense (beside, it already looks like it comes from the body), Rain of Fire would make no sense coming from your eyes, shockwave doesn't need a hand animation (could be eyes, hands or mouth depending on how you look at it), so on and so forth.

    TL;DR ver: Yeah, give us some where it makes sense. Discard the rest.
    Actually there already is a power which launches from the eyes. The animation could be the same for fireing from the chest, but with out the head movement. For all the robotic/Cyborg toons out there firing the energy blast with a cone effect from the chest would be a cool option, along with a beam from thier eyes.

    Female Minions

    Why are ALL the summoned minions male? Mix in some females too. Like Female mercs, ninjas, thugs, and Zombies.

    Robot Torso

    Ok so we have robotic arms and legs. I mean the ones that look like robotic skeleton, so why not have a torso to match.

    Furthermore

    Why not skeletel legs, and not just the awkward robotic legs we have now.

    Think Terminator. I do understand the copyright issues, but there has to be a way this can be made to work.
  12. (Yes hooked on Phonics failed me)

    Most Blaster, Defenders, and Corrupters fire their damage of choice from thier hands. My idea is to let the person choose where on the body the blast is launched from ie. Eyes, Hands, or Chest.
  13. In many Animes the power lvl or specialness of a character can be measured by the number of wings they have. In CoX most get thier wings at lvl 20, unless they have the vet reward, so I say let us get a second set of wings at lvl 40, and finally a third set at lvl 50.
  14. That's my question. How do I pre-order it, there are many threads out here talking about pre-ordering it, but none actualy states if you can yet, and if so, how. The NCSoft online store makes no mention of it at all. Some even say that only certain people will be ellegible(sp) to pre-order it, and that sound fishy to me. So if anyone out there knows if and how we can pre-order it, please post it here. I know the closed beta starts next month, so I would think that pre-ordering would be available now.
  15. Ok, I think my problem is different. I am getting the following error on 2 seperate computers, on both the normal game server, and the training server.

    "The game client was unable to connect to the login server."

    I get this error after I put in my password, and click login. I don't get to the server selection screen at all.
  16. I'm getting the same message. Been getting it sence yesterday afternoon.
