Like others in this thread have already stated, I too have soiled my self.
I also screamed about the soiling into the phone with my best friend on the other end.
Me: Hohleesheetfuhkkristbloodeefuhk.....fuhk.....sheet fuhk!!!!!
Friend: What?!
Me: Ijustsoiledmyself!!!
*long pause*
Friend: Why tell me and what made you?
Me: Ah..... issue.... eleven?
Friend: Oh? What about it?
Me: Holeesheetfuhk..... Weapon Customization.
Friend: I will personally make sure you never live this down.
Me: Don't care.
Flashback is okay too I guess.
To right the countless wrongs of our day, we shine the light of true redemption, that this place may become as paradise. What a wonderful world such would be....
I'm sorry what was that, I couldn't hear you over my TRAGIC PAST!!

Ok, so I was all giddy like a scholl girl when I read about the weapon customization today. I thought WOW! the devs really amazed me this time. Maybe they don't suck...maybe I'm too hard on them.
.
Then I saw this. A complete listing of all the "customizable" weapons with pictures. Are you serious?
Instead of making everyone think this was the greatest issue ever, just to be let down hard....they coulda stated that we would get the same old lame weapons with silly skins on them. Same stupid super soaker just camoflauge, same katana sword....just black or red. Same recycled crap. Nothing has changed. Same old devs.
Tell me I am wrong. PLEASE I want to be wrong! Tell me these are just playeer made crap and this isn't what we are getting........please

Considering how each of those has an individual author, I think they're pretty certainly player-made.

Fake. Know how I know? They have spines in there and the devs said they wouldn't be customizable. I think these are mods people created for others. Not official mods but player made.

EDIT* Ok I was wrong. These are player made mods....hope this isn't what we get though. I am expecting different kinds of weapons, not just different colored skins. I really wish the devs would clear up what exactly they mean my "customizable"

They are player mods.
Found under the mod submenu, and the site tells you how you yourself can make those modes.
EDIT: Ah, you edited right under my nose!

I am glad to be wrong....just hope that isn't what we end up getting.

But don't worry. I've probably done similar things. Like that time I got impatient and started a thread about the difficulty of using the auction market.

Weapon customization... Sadly, it's only -Weapon- customization, not Powers, so no throwing green fire or using red radiation, but.... IT'S STILL MEGACOOLAWESOME.

I am thinking a big club instead of a mace, or a single pop out blade on each hand instead of claws, maybe a giant butcher knife instead of a broadsword. At least that is what I WAS thinking. That's why I got so excited.
After seeing the player made mods I am thinking that is closer to what we are getting. Hope I am wrong, but I think it's a good bet we are just getting different skins over the current weapons. ):
I would love for a Dev to pop up and say I am completely wrong.....right....now.....
This is awesome!!!
I'm hyped about everything, especially dual blades and weapon customisation.
my only query is when its coming out!
[ QUOTE ]
Oo lordy...even if I do hope battleaxe, which wasn't mentioned, will be customizable too Not that there's a thing wrong with my trusty mystic axe, but the ability to make it more amazing would be killer. Wonder if 'silly' choices are among the possibilities? Okay, so maybe it wouldn't/shouldn't be possible to turn the axe into a Stratocaster, but...

Question for the weapons customization, for the old weapons powersets.... can we choose which hand we hold the sword / katana /axe / mace in? And will the weapons finally show up on our backs or in scabbard form? (visible on our person without holding them in our hands)
[/ QUOTE ]
For the old sets (other than Dual Blades), no, you can't choose handiness. Broad is right, Katana is left (I think) and will remain so. They're not revamping animations, just the object the player holds.
There's no mention of the weapons showing up on backs or in scabbards. That is certainly not part of (and probably never will be part of) the powers' animation. It would have to be a costume piece -- either new belt options, new back options, or the theorized 'coming someday' backpack option.

Well first I was going to a thread and tell you to click on threaded view so you could pick out the dev posts but then I realized they've posted all over the durn place today. Go check out the dev digest.
Going from memory... flintlock guns, rikti swords, shovels, lead pipes... buncha stuff.
Scatch all that. <3 Zombie_Man

[/ QUOTE ] There was a list posted a while back that has the REAL weapons listed. No pictures but from the sounds of the names they are not just the same stuff with new skins even though I do like the bloody weapons on the fan site they are fake.
The flashback system and weapon customization sounds really cool! Not sure what I think about the very rare recipes as I'm not big on loot-drop systems driving a game, but we'll see. This sounds like it will be a lot of fun - I'm definitely looking forward to going back in time to see history unfold in the Rogue Isles! Seeing the Children of Enos, Father Henri, the pirate siege of Ft. Hades and more will be very cool - hope they're included!
I wonder if we could get a "no claw" option for claw sets to allow us to emulate clawed characters like Black Cat, Catwoman and Sabertooth.
I have 2 more questions...
1. I know Power Custimization has been asked for a long time but this is the first time in 3 years I've ever heard of the "flashback" feature how is that something people have been asking for? It's a great idea but still I never heard of it before.
2. Will unlockable powers like the Ghost Slaying Ax be included as costimizable weapons or only the Battle Ax power set? Basically I'm just wondering if I can change the style of my vetran reward weapons.
I'm stoked.
Flashback is VERY compelling for my completist style of play. I like the idea of having my character have EVERY single last souvenir. I hope this works like I think and I will be a super-duper happy camper!
Weapon customization is freakin' sweet, too.
This issue is going to be the bomb.
I only jump in here for two reasons:
1) [ QUOTE ]
Why... was... there.... BACON IN THE SOAP?!

<--- AH MADE IT MAHSELF!!
2) This issue seems as if it would, as some would say, rawk the hause... I am giddy with anticipation of beta testing goodness. I hope I get invited.

This is houtex, aka Mike, signing off the forums. G'night all. - 10/26/2012

Ouroboros system is cool. Too bad i couldn't relive frostfire at lvl 50 (kidding)
The rare salvage part to me seems a bit of a rip off of WOW, atleast make it a different colour, purple armor in WOW is rare as well.
New power set willpower, i'm all for a new tank power set but i thought the winning vote was shields??
Dual blades, it would be so much cooler if this game showed blood (HINT HINT)
Weapons customization,...so my broadsword can ALWAYS be out on my scrapper? i don't have to have it unsheathed after using sands of mu all the time?
Does the flashback system mean that when we use it and exemplar will we get recipes an salvage that is the level of the missions or story arc? I am concerned about the fix to defiance. I know that soon blasters will see the fix to defiance, so I hope that it will be able to be part of issue 11. I know that even when the news on a new issue is released there is usually more features added to the issue.

time travel is vary confusing, for instance, a TF in the past to help Arachnos take the isles, well we all know recluse wins...bacause you were there to help. you aredy were in the past and you won, so history has recluse runing the isles, and because you were alredy there you need to go now. its all about reletivety.
dont think about it too much, i got a headache just typing that.

I am eager to see what the in-game reason is go to the Menders and to time-travel. Is someone mucking up time and we are chasing after them? Possibly, if we take the Paragon Times as clues to the story.
Otherwise, why are we going back in time to help events that already took place and were "successful"?
[/ QUOTE ]
this is the statement im replying to above, by the way.
Flashback: WOOHOO!
Power Customization: Never thought it would happen. Well done.
New Power Sets: YAYY!
Buff/Debuff/Taunt Sets: Sweet.
Very Rare/Purple Stuff: uhh ... cringe. Did you guys enjoy seeing people largely shut out of the market for costume piece recipes for months because of low drop rates? Eh, color me skeptical. Maybe it'll work out. I guess.

They were successful because we went back in time to help them be successful. :P
