Sorry, no. See weapons guide in my sig.

My apologies if I missed it, but will we be able to have different weapon looks for each costume slot?
[/ QUOTE ]
Yes. See weapons guide in my sig.

I'm sure many of us would like to if it wasn't blocked as 'games' where we work.

Huh? It's on the same forum. Over in CoH General.
Oh wait! You're using one skin and Zombie's using the other! That's got to be it. Some folks have mentioned that the forums are blocked from one side but not the other. Ok, click the link, go up to the address bar and replace "heroes" with "villains" or vice versa.

Are there even Redcaps in CoV?
[/ QUOTE ]
Technically, yes.
Farm Red Caps in the Valentines/Winter Event missions.

but one big release would satisfy all parties

Except it's FAR more work for the non-weapon powers. Rather than holding onto complete customization till Issue 12, 13, 14+, they release what they have NOW. The weapon customization is essentially telling the power to call a different skin. Fairly simple.
To the people asking about sheaths/holsters/etc., it's entirely possible. Hasn't pretty much every Issue brought with it a swath of new costume options? This would be the perfect time to introduce such options.

This new issue sounds very exciting. I wonder how it will work with getting very rare recipes? Will that replace the available reward at the end of a Task Force?
[/ QUOTE ]
How will it work? You'll pay 50 million each for them at WW's, and you'll like it.

Here's a forced same-skin link that should work.
And in that guide, check out the newly added link to the pics of weapons on display at the Black Market.

About time.
Last time I asked about flashbacks a red name told me that we had the sidekick system and there were no plans to implement a flashback system.
[ QUOTE ]
If you have to wait till lvl 30-35 to get weapons like Vangaurd energy claw, or Rikti swords, or Daggers in Croatoa......that sucks. I understand wanting to make things unlockable and making us work for things....but if I have to play 35 of 50 levels just to get the costume peice/weapon my character in bases upon....well that is just lame.
PLEASE either make all weapons available at lvl 1 or at least make them sellable on the market.

....No mention of that Witch Hat only obtainable after completing a TF?
Or earning costume pieces only by impressing a group (think Vanguard) enough that they give you access to their equipment?
So the idea is that your character uses a weapon until he defeats a villain and takes a "trophy" (think the base display items or the descriptions listed under the Souvenir section). We are getting several choices at start up as it is and the only thing you can do is complain that a few items will not be immediately available. To me the reasons for these things are perfectly justifiable in a roleplay sense.
The "I want! I want! I want!" syndrome needs to pass. Leave that to your 6-year-old kid sister. Realize getting more is better than getting nothing at all, and that earning it makes it that much nicer to have.

Bunny Power for the win!!!
I didn't read every post, so sorry if this has been answered, but any ETA on I11?

I9, I10, I11 -- it just keeps getting better. Keep up the good work, devs!
One minor issue though. I wonder if Flashback will kill altoholism, which is a great strength of CoX..

Hardly anyone who has been here since the begining plays this game for the content, we play to try new powersets or powerset combinations we have yet to try out.

The Feature teaser has been released. Closed Beta is going to start real soon. According to Kerensky, Closed Beta is going to be very short (probably just very initial debugging under a soft load) before moving quickly to open beta. So, I'm guessing I11 will be released a few weeks before the Winter Event, i.e., early to mid December, thus meeting their three-issue-per-year goal.

President Machand needs to use the terms "True Believers" and "Excelcior" when we encounter him !!!
:: froths at mouth for a sec then wipes his chin off :: Ahem, this is really cool. I'm going nutz over this stuff. It's all cool and new features that will enhance the game over the rest of what is already good. Now that I've said that....
There really should be a way to rechoose your Power Sets some how. My Main Basic Sward Guy would be useing Willpower insted of regen had it been avalible at the time. But once more I digress.
Will the server transfer dealy be ready for i11 I have a lot of toons on my home server that need to be moved so I can make new ones. I'm only keeping them around due to their badges, (ya never know when a new accolayde will need em o.o).
Speaking of badges, other then the Halloween ones for costumes, what are we looking at here for the Ouroboros system. Will we have to gain points by comleating missions and what not to get access to it? What level does it start at? Also I think our souveneers from story arcs should be useable in Hero/Villain Bases to show off our "accomplishments", like a vet reward or somthing.
Man, there is so much to say but I need input 1st

I agree that would be a great homage to...who ever we're thinking about. Cause personally I think if it wasn't for him, we wouldnt' be playing shuch a great MMO to begin with.

Character transfer should be working now.
I am not aware if this has been asked already but does weapon customization include color?
If not... then is there at least a gold colored Axe?

[color=orange]Exclent, checking now. I just got excited about i11 and :: lists a bunch of things he's enthrald with ::
WOW power customization! Dual Swords was enough for me to get excited here, but now.. holy crap!

Hmmm... this issue does indeed sound awesome.
Where do I go to beg for huge-oversized™ meat cleavers for brutes? Their non inclusion in the blade type customization can only be considered as a lack of brutality. Get in touch with your brutish side, hack enemies down with meat cleavers. =)
So I have a question, one I haven't seen posed yet (my search-fu is weak):
In the screenshot of the Apocalypse and Hecatomb enhancements, the title includes a "Superior" designation I can't recall seeing before. What does that mean? Do super-rare sets have the ability to transform a Moderate-damage power into a Superior-damage power? Although a Superior-damage fireball sounds really good to me, the implications would be incredibly scary. What would happen if the same Targeted AoE set were slotted into Terrify, which currently has Minor Psionic damage? What if a Ranged Damage version were slotted into a fast-charging Minor single-target power?
What if a Superior set were slotted into an Extreme-damage power? Obviously that would represent a downgrade, which wouldn't make any sense.
Therefore, I assume that that isn't what "Superior" indicates ... so, what does it mean?
Although I'm sort of nonplussed imagining an all-new class of recipes selling for tens of millions each (prices for Numina's Rec & Regen are still crazy after all this time), I'm drooling a bit wondering about what kind of stats they'll carry.

Does this mean that there will be actual claws-on-the-fingertips, or just a choice between Wolverine and Freddy Kruger?
