What the hell? Let's buff defenders.

 That's the forward jump as seen from the side.  And this is the backflip landing. Neither one looks... pleasant :P |

This idea was met with 3 or 4 pages of trolls telling me how stupid I was was and the idea was idiotic. Well....just wanted to say HA HA BITE ME! Thank you. |
Champions Online beat you to the idea by 5-6 months
Want comedy and lighthearted action? Between levels 1-14? Try Nuclear in 90 - The Fusionette Task Force!

If you make any adjustments, lose the arm over face stance when standing.

I LOVE this new booster, it may be my fave, tied with Magic and Valkyrie.
A few of my characters have already gotten makeovers, I've had fun playing mix-and-match with these new costume pieces, combining them with valkyrie, samurai, and justice parts.
Brooklyn Bridge, my DB scrapper didn't have his robes on for 5 minutes before being told twice how cool he looked. And that Qin dynasty hair!! Thank you, thank you!
The chinese weapons were just the icing on the joygasm cake for me, I have been wanting those forever! I also love the waist-cape belt option we got to wear with our robes- I havn't looked to see if we can wear it with other things yet, but it is sweet and makes the robes look even better. I definately look forward to bringing out more of my characters to play mix-and-match with, it's so much fun, these are pieces I've been longing for forever!
And the ninja run looks SO hella cool, I've been having such fun playing with it.
Oh yeah, I'll second the warped use of pushups. There was Brooklyn Bridge saying "I just know people are gonna do bad things with this!"
Not two minutes later, he was saying "Now you see that? See what I mean!?" You can guess what two people were doing in front of him!

i think nameing a super booster the same name as an actual power set is a bad idea
...I just saw the ninja psrint... My mutant spines/SR stalker is now Spines ninja...

There are no words for what this community, and the friends I have made here mean to me. Please know that I care for all of you, yes, even you. If you Twitter, I'm MrThan. If you're Unleashed, I'm dumps. I'll try and get registered on the Titan Forums as well. Peace, and thanks for the best nine years anyone could ever ask for.

Agreed - big time! I'm hoping this means we'll eventually get things like Ice Flight, Burrowing, Swinging, etc! |

For what it's worth I think CoX's version of this power has slightly nicer animations (espeically the way the arms move for instance).
If this game can continue "borrowing" the few features that other game is doing well then I have no doubt CoX will continue to be the overall better game.  |

Wow, that's odd because I could swear they've been normal on most of my other toons, but then I haven't checked up on em recently. Wonder if this was a 'this update' problem? Or whether they were like that and no one noticed much? Because I like those shoulder options, they're ... sinister.

FYI to folks who may not know, building a costume change bind or macro that includes "em none" at the beginning will help prevent the supression of the animation.

BABs, I have never done this before but I'll do it today, I am on my knees now begging:
Please, somehow give us the Bringit emote animation as a customized option for all versions of taunt/challenge!!!! I beg of you!!!!
Quote:
Hey, Castle, how the idea of Wuxia being a toggle that give you no bonus movement or leap, but has all the same animation without an End Cost? Because I'd *love* to be able to be in that 'combat stance' all the time and it's too expensive a toggle to do it normally.

Still here, even after all this time!

That might be possible - but they'd probably have to find a way to make it only available to the people who buy the pack |

I don't suppose there's a way we could have Ninja Run simply suppress Combat Jumping instead of turning it off? So when I engage in combat I can just turn off Ninja Run and still have my (meager) defense? *ducks* Sorry Devs! Still not complaining! I love youuuu! ;] |
