OLD video female stance

[ QUOTE ]
*wants female at-rest stance now*
I like the one we have now, but just sayin' it would be a nice one to see cycled through, too.

Bad, I want to take every chance I get to completely agree with you My first reaction when I saw this was "WANT" and I continue to feel this way even now. Altering the base standing animation seems like it would be out of the question at this point, though I can't say entering it into the cycle shouldn't be doable (if a little odd). I still firmly believe we can have an emote that does that, though, and I would simply LOVE it.

Well, with regards to the flying above the clouds, I can see why they took it out; it looked BAD in that incarnation.

Seraphim
Twilight Men
Fear Factor

The Killing Crew

I think some of those groups simply got renamed. Twilight Men may very well have become Malta, since Malta is not mentioned in the video.

Twilight men were malta.

Pretty sure Killing Crew became Sky Raiders. There is a list somewhere out there.

Pretty sure Killing Crew became freakshow.

Unlikely, as the Freakshow are themselves listed in the same montage.

I've no clue what you are doing altering my posts!

I'm torn between disputing that and just smiling and keeping my mouth shut

Anyone remember that old video (WARNING: 20MB download!) of City of Heroes that came out, what? 2000? 2001? The one with all the cool tricks that never made it into the game, like body part targeting, that little flip when you jump, flying above the clouds and so forth.

[/ QUOTE ]
Yes, yes I do.

[/ QUOTE ]

I keep forgetting you have a bunch of cool guides like that I had a quick look over your guide, though, and I didn't see a mention of the female idle stance. Is it there and I'm just missing it?

[/ QUOTE ]

I think the only bit similar is the forward-flip, actually, but there's a good bit of tangental discusison like the renamed enemy groups.

See my Guides and Tutorials

Do you guys know of any mac compatible videos like that? Its all for Windows Media Player and my comp doesnt support that.... = (

If you go to ftp://ftp.coh.com/movies you'll find several of them are in multiple formats. Some might be compatible with the Mac.

This is very interesting, but while it would be nice to have that stance available (to male, female, and huge models) as an emote, I really, really would not like it to become the default stance of female models.

The first time I saw the female stance in Guild Wars, I thought "Yucks, worst thing ever", and felt really repulsed. It looks unbalanced to have someone's foot stick out toe-pointed, just to make a character look more "feminine". If female models in CoX get that stance I will never be able to play my female toons again.

I'd be happy if they'd just fix the running for the men. I can't stand the "I'm mounted on a pole, which is attached to a track" movement.

Wow, I am having a nostalgic moment.... flashback to summer 2004.... first playing the game. It was so new.

The costume creator. My first travel power - Super Jump - How awesome my frankengun was. Steele Magnolia in her green power armor bouncing around the streets of Paragon City on Pinnacle, blasting evil to bits.

Lineage 2 uses the same stance for women and MEN of their effeminite races (elves and dark elves), but that's besides the point

More on target, it's likely far, FAR too late for a base animation change like that and, frankly, I'm not sure I'd be up for it as a total, no-opt-out conversion even if it did happen. Five years in is a bit late in the game to do things like that, both in terms of technicalities and in terms of people being used to the status quo. So unless we get running style customization (and I doubt we ever will), it's not very likely.

Still, as an idle emote, I would LOVE to have that. BABs (at least I think it was him) spoke about these in the past, and I'd love to see them come to fruition eventually.
