i thought POSI said issue 16 was not going rogue

To clear up any confusion, Issue 16 should be referred to as Going Rouge, since it lets you tint your powers pink.

I seriously want to see the 'new animations' for SS and MA. ALso, the custom colorization is much anticipated for my small alt group the Sapphire Shield Corps ( ) and my current grav/thermal troller uses magical green fire..As a few examples there. Now im wondering with the color customization, is that per set or per power? Maybe a bluish or white flame effect for the truly nasty fire-based powers to represent how hot they are? I just feel like, I've gotten my 5-yr badge last week, and now the game is where I want it to be, or will be soon.
But, with the rp'ers on this server, the possibilities for origins is unlimited. ('Oh yes my stone tanker its obsidian..Oh and you're hardened lava..or someone mentioned Ruby elsewhere..) But yeah interesting and good times ahead.

As long as Eagle Claw isn't changed, that's by far my favorite animation power to be honest. Otherwise Headsplitter and Disembowl definitely need something more flashy.

BABs has posted that you can choose the other animations. Check the Dev Digest.

I hope that the animation times for the new animations are the same, or that could cause some people to get a small advantage, since they'd probably only choose the lowest animation times.

I'm looking forward to recoloring, hopefully you can recolor it power by power rather than the entire powerset. I'd make a rad blaster and make the radiation blue for water. Holding a big ball of water over his head then throwing it at his enemies.

I also hope you can choose default for the powers. Some things I like the color of as-is, and I do not want to change it.

What all will be changing in animations? What powers will get the option and what animations will we have to choose from? Guess I'm curious because I would like to see some of the techniques for Broadsword.

Martial Arts and Superstrength are getting some new alternate animations for some powers (but not all).

e.g. Thunder Kick will have an alternate punch animation.
SS attacks will have sleeker less smashy alternatives, more Superman than Thing I guess.

Back Alley Brawler chimes in on this page:

Basicaly its punches for MA (YESSS!!) and less brutish Superstrength.

A punch for a kick? I don't get it. I wanted Thunder Kick's original (flurry in comparison) animation


Well that's a downer if BS, Axe, and Mace were ignored.

I'm just looking forward to make a psi/ff defender and giving her pink PSISHIELDS!

And retinting [RAGE] so that it's not pale yellow.

GLERK!

Claws for brutes! Claws for brutes!

This.

Oh, and Stone/Stone Dom's

Is it just me or would this have made a much better "Anniversary" issue???

No. The Return of the 5th is awesome!

Don't you mean Storm Kick's original, pre-I2 "sniff my feet" animation?

I can't wait to get my hands on it. No more pink pom poms!

This.

My EM/WP brute will be able to match up her power colors with her snazzy Mu Lightning blasts.

Ugh... just got one kinda horrid thought though...

Fleshy colored "Dark" powers... hentacles abound!

Oh God
I can see these additions are Rp heaven

ahahaah

I'm glad if not directly they actually did something that the PvP'ers in this game get all wet about just as much as the Rp'ers being able to change pretty colors.

The ability to change your powerset w/o having to reroll/newroll & get ALL those accolades again is a time challenged/PvP'ers wet dream

Thnx Devs

So someone tell me more about how the Io's are going to work as I change my powerset.............go

Huh?

This patch, I do not think it does what you think it does...

The new character creation is only character creation, Xad. You can't switch your 50 from Inv/SS to WP/Axe or anything like that.

put the bottle down and back away slowly from the bar with your hands where i can see them or it'll be doom

of course, if this were praetorian earth it would be doom but with a picnic.

As much as this is cool and all...

My main is a bots/traps MM

So I basically got the shaft on the whole customization thing. Which is sad, because I really want custom bots.

[/ QUOTE ]

You got customizable weapons first. =-p

Time to dust off some of your alts. I know you wanna do eet.

good luck D.B.B.

Well, I'm partial to assault rifle...and I always thought traps was cool. So I just may roll an AR/Traps defender and torture myself with it.

I saw electric melee for scrappers and sighed...because I'm going to have to reroll Lighthammer. But, it was a sigh of relief because he will now get to be what he was always MEANT to be. A scrapper, not a blaster.

Broadsword Stalker is now synonymous with HELL YEAH.

I may do a name change and have my Contraptionist move to traps/AR from AR/Dev. He's a concept steampunk inventor toon and the Traps are a bit more (or as?) steampunky with the mortar and even the shield generator could possibly pass.

The damage will be hella sad though. QQ

I severely doubt you can switch powersets. Do you know how exploitable that would be? Levelling up something 'easy' then switching to something that takes a while to level but is powerful. I believe it just means you can change your powersets while you're making a character, incase you don't want to hit back a couple of times to switch your primary or secondary.

Pretty much the same issue I have. Been saving Stormrazer for an Inv/Elec tanker forever. Just recently came up with an Inv/DB tanker and ran her upt to the mid 30's. Sure I could reroll, but I've already done that once before when she was an AR/Elec blaster.

And now my fallback names are gone too, like in the last couple weeks. Looks like I'm going to be going back to the well again for something fantastic before I16 hits.
