Icons 2005 Spring Fashion Sneak Peek

Chilli_Willi · 03-10-2005 06:41 AM

Buncha freaks waiting to make their 'Comere lil' private school girl, I got some candy for ya.' fantasies come to "life".

*shudder* Some people REALLY creep me out.

Sikyanakotik · 03-10-2005 07:29 AM

You know, I'd love it if Sachi could open an icon in Peregrine, maybe offering a new costume slot at level 45. I can see the mission now...

"Maybe we can help each other here, $HeroName. You see, the Carnival of Shadows have approached me with offers of an exclusive contract designing costumes for them. And by "offers" I mean "thinly disguised threats on my business and person". I refuse to offer my services to criminals, especially ones with such horribly gaudy uniforms. If you could go out and teach those circus freaks some manners, I can see what I can do about that outdated outfit of yours."

I love that it is so detailed! Lol, I'll be spending more time creating than playing!

[/ QUOTE ]

Hahaha...I already have that problem. I create alts then realize "oh ya, I should play this one". In fact, I created so many that I've stopped giving them an alt slot and just jotted down the attributes in a database for when I want a new character later. Crazy man, it's just crazy.

PS: I'm really looking forward to shedding winter clothes on my characters and having at least one costume look like a bathing suit to go swimming.

Yes! Yes! Yes! My resurrected demi-god hero needs a new leather jacket and some Converse All-Stars to slum in when he's not arresting the Banished Pantheon! Forget PvP, new costumes NOW please!

Jaxom · 03-10-2005 10:30 AM

it called a kilt goshdarn it

Riverdusk · 03-10-2005 10:43 AM

Looks like some very cool stuff.

Now we just need a slider for power graphic effects so that people with fire shield, dark armor, etc. can actually be seen in their new clothes instead of just being blobs and we'd be all set.

Oh yeah, also hoping for Left-Eye Eyepatches

[/ QUOTE ]

Ooh! Ooh! How about a 3rd eye option with both left AND right eye patches?

PURPLE DRAPES!

Wind_Warlock · 03-10-2005 12:34 PM

I agree, i'm a bit tired of the flat front look, very unrealistic with my alt in tights and all the catgirls running around

p.s. how about some skinny robot legs. Cog boy needs some..

[ QUOTE ]
Am I the only one who's offended here? After looking through all those screenshots, and seeing that women can adjust the size of their McGuffins, and yet we men don't get a slider to adjust our Package?

It's Sexism, I tell you!

Fair warning - this is apparently as "flat" as it gets:

<chuckles> You aren't alone. In fact, I spent the last three days of beta just figuring out what costume options I wanted for my first few characters, and putting all that information in an Excel file, so I could race through costume creation on opening day and make sure I got those names! I still spend usually one evening a week playing with costumes rather than playing the game!

<sighs happily> I can play Wild Blue now. She just didn't look right with the zipped-up "leather armor" top, but a motorcycle jacket over a tee shirt... yep!

It would seem that those who want smaller breasts are quickly overtaking those teenage boys with their fixation on breast size

I would assume this is the "teen" bodytype that was coming as well. Seems a little dissapointing - I'm sure a lot of people would love to be able to go smaller.

2) Don't want true newbies blowing all their INF changing their sock colors. Though just playing the game, you don't find out about the Icons store until you're old enough (in game) to decide if you want those new socks or enhancements.

[/ QUOTE ]

As opposed to....what?

Blowing all their INF by deleting their level 5 character and starting over, just to change a couple of costume features?

That's what I did. :-)

AND I kept fuming because I really, really, really wanted a floor-length skirt.....or robe/gown....or knee-length skirt.

So.....if they make these available (hopefully soon), I'll have to *buy* the changes, which I wanted in the first place? [pout]

I only joined CoH in late January (2005), so there is lots and lots I haven't discovered as yet. Like where the IP Icon shop is. And what you have to do to make costume changes. And what levels are required first. Oh, I'll find out.....eventually. :-)

I'm reading everything I can *find* on the new costume features....but so far I haven't see any ETA. Am I SOL as far as asking if anyone knows anything?

[....rapidly discovering a "clothes horse" mentality that I never knew I had.....]

[....and I don't care about the shoulder kittens.....I want a stuffed shoulder dragon....just like the one I wear to cons in RL.....]

I'll [i]almost certainly[/i] be happy with I7....."SOON(tm)"

Too bad "Maturity" isn't an Enhanceable power.

Anybody with a bow is okay in my book. ;-)

We're all still missing the key issue here: Stuffed shoulder kittens.
Best costume option ever? I say yes.

Actually, I think the shoulder-Pandas are cooler.

So, do we believe him or not? Maybe it's just a name. I mean, if Statesman acted like his name, he'd converse in cryptic doublespeak never revealing... too much of his plans...

Damn it!

I remember one of the people who reported back from Wondercon (it may have been Pax, but I'm not sure) specifically mentioned pandas as well as kittens as shoulder options for females. We have at least those two animal options, maybe there will be more. I can't wait to see how they'll turn out.

Actually, I believe Loki is the god of discord and mischief, pretty much the same idea though.

However, I am the Lord of the Flies if that helps.

Considering one of his titles is "Liesmith"...

Yeah, pretty much.

Templar_NA · 03-10-2005 03:55 PM

Anyone heard if we are going to get a free costume repec with the release or the ablity to adjust size and features at least once for all current characters.

Maybe a tailer mission for the feature readjustment for example.
