Mirror Spirit and Foreshadow do indeed have newer character models than others.
At this rate, I predict Spark Blade and Rose Star will be the new trainers in Boomtown and Perez Park, respectively, once those two get a Faultline/Hollows style makeover.
Yeah...The Merit Vendors looks really odd. At least the Hero Corps lot look unified, given the same chest/leg combo, with the heads adding some variety.
And speaking of old models, look at the PPD SWAT on the doors to the Hollows and Perez why dont you? Eeesh!

Also - has anyone else noticed that the 'Merit Vendors' literally look like the output of a 'random' costume generator? The one in Atlas looks like a member of the Taxi SG, and I saw another that was a purple/green Vazilok experiment gone wrong.

I thought that all their colours were unique, even if the style of their uniforms was not. Some sort of Purple/Yellow mix?

Indeed, the mirror spirit looks very good. In fact the whole faultline looks superb now. You can see that the developers are getting more accustomed to the design tools. And dare do stuff they wouldn't touch before. I would love it when they would restyle some of their earlier work. Including mrs liberty.

Correction: The old crew headed by War Witch were highly accustomed to the tools but I think the team has grown so fast for I13/14 that it's taken them too long to hit their straps, hence I13 is the buggiest since I7
Edited to add: Yes the Merit Vendors look dreadful

They look like something puked by a cat TBH. IMO, better they all had an uniform look, something in the line of a business suit or robes with cowls.

please enlighten me....i see nothing changed... 
I think he's talking about the revamp to Faultline which happened before either of us started, sorudo.
Also have to agree that Mirror Spirit looks pretty flamin' class compared to Ms. Liberty, which kinda irritates me in ways.

Sometimes a little polish to the things we see all the time (Ms. Liberty) would be a nice way of keeping the game 'fresh', I feel. Plus, the Merit Vendors just look...well, 'thrown together'. Rush job?
I've only just started enjoying the Faultline content, and god, graphically it's gorgeous.
Here's another Atlas problem - the Super Group registration guy - do you think they'll ever make his face sit on his head better?

I fell in love with Mirror Spirit the first moment I hit Fautline, 
although come to think of it didn't Positron's character get a makeover as well recently since now he has his helmet under his arms? So there is some character re-design happening its just taking its sweet time 
I seem to remember BAB getting a bit of a makeover at one point. But yes, I agree it would be nice to see some of those important characters getting a makeover. The main villains have much better models.
I really should do something about this signature.

I'm sure they could - if he wasn't a Nemesis Automaton

Indeed I am.
And yes I love the way Fault looks compared to a lot of city zones.
Ok - so I flashed-back to some Faultline arcs that I'd never played before (I was waaaay past that level range when Faultline was re-vamped) and I had to switch from the build that I'm working on, to my primary/playing build. I went to speak to the resident hero contact, Mirror Spirit, and was actually surprised. Visually, she's a very well designed character. She even seems... 'advanced', in comparison to Ms. Liberty, who looks like she was recently drawn / put together with a pack of Crayola Crayons. Is it not time to re-hash some of the hero costumes? Infernal got given wings - can't Ms.L get a bit of a makeover?
Also - has anyone else noticed that the 'Merit Vendors' literally look like the output of a 'random' costume generator? The one in Atlas looks like a member of the Taxi SG, and I saw another that was a purple/green Vazilok experiment gone wrong.
Where's Gok Wan when you need him?
