Christmas makeover!
Who in the game would you love to have a christmas style makeover?
Would you like to see faultline dressed up as an elf? Hero One as a snowman? Lord Recluse with a santa beard on? Me personally, i'ld love to be able to fight nictus romulas with his nictus sword as a candy cane. Thats my dream! |
Woah, woah, woah. Let's not make our dreams in life so impossibly unobtainable.

Sorry to be a scrooge, but NO! I've been sick of Christmas before it began.
Over here we had people selling Christmas trees and decorations a week before HALLOWE'EN!

I hate Christmas fanfare. I have nothing against the holiday itself, and the Christmas spirit is actually something more people need to experience, but all the trees and toys and decorations and doodads and crap and garbage make me SICK! I prefer my celebrations quiet and with less fanfare. That, and I can do without gaudy costumes and gimmicks.
Trying to shoehorn Christmas in places it doesn't belong is a surefire way to make simply not log in for the duration of the holidays. It's bad enough that the land of Azeroth, a place which has no business having Christmas, gets covered in Christmas trees, Santas and elves. I don't want to see that nonsense here. I happen to enjoy taking the game's setting seriously, and just replacing Romulus' sword with a Nictus candy cane is the sort of thinking that makes me want to punch people. And that's not exactly the Christmas spirit, is it?
Snow and maybe frozen water is as far as I'm willing to go, but I'm already sick and tired of Christmas decorations, and it's not even mid December yet. Enough with the "theme" nonsense, please.
Samuel_Tow is the only poster that makes me want to punch him in the head more often when I'm agreeing with him than when I'm disagreeing with him.

Steelclaw's Christmas Make-Over:
* Every time you go to a trainer to level up they first ask if you've been a good girl/boy/indeterminate gender. Heroes who answer "No" or Villains who say "Yes" are patted on the head and subjected to a commercial encouraging them to buy Going Rogue.
* Clockwork spontaneously break into song about the "Island of Misfit Toys"
* Atlas Park and other areas will be decorated for the holidays. The Atlas Statue will have two very large spherical ornaments hanging from a strategic location. They will be blue.
* Contacts will randomly assign "fetch the stolen item" missions only to have it turn out you were doing their Christmas gift shopping for them.
* You will be able to give white washes to wimpy contacts who, despite not having super powers, always treat you with deep condescension.
* New Kidnap Rescue Mission: Get Frosty out of the warehouse before he melts! If you succeed you get xp awards and a recipe. If you fail then you get the "Must have been some magic in that old top hat you found" salvage item.
* New Grinch Giant Monster. You can defeat him either via combat or making his heart grow three sizes that day.
* Merry Christmas Charlie Brown Task Force: Search and find the scrawniest and most picked-upon of all the Devouring Earth. Once you find him, get decorations and support to make him look buff enough to gain the respect of the other Devouring Earth.
* The Rudolph Temp Power: It's basically another flight temp power, like the Raptor or Jingle packs, however it makes your nose glow such a bright red it obscures half the screen. Those of you who were foolish enough to create a /dark armor Stalker with flight powers will be well-familiar with this effect.
* The Christmas Fruit Cake: This item will randomly appear when you click on certain "mystery package" inspirations. The Christmas Fruit Cake will debuff your speed, recovery and recharge a minor amount as long as you have it. The only way to get rid of it is to "re-gift" it. Just click on it to activate then bump into another player. If that player has room in their inspiration tray they will get the Fruit Cake. You can not be "re-gifted" a fruit cake you have already held at one time. Although the Fruit Cake automatically disappears at the conclusion of the Winter Event, it mysteriously resurfaces come next year.
* Ice - Yes, all ponds and lakes will be frozen over! As an added bonus the ocean sections will also freeze close to shore. If that weren't enough you also get black ice! For those of you in warmer climes not familiar with black ice; it is practically invisible ice formed from puddles on the roads and sidewalks. You will need +perception powers/enhancements to detect it. Anyone moving over black ice at faster than a Walk will skid out of control. Normal run suffers knockdown. Sprint gets Knockback. Ninja Run also gets Knockback but they fall very acrobatically and land on their feet. Superspeedsters will act as though they jumped in a random direction falling down if they hit a horizontal surface first and becoming a smear on the face of any vertical surface they impact.
My mind wanders so often you've probably seen its picture on milk cartons. - Me... the first person version of the third person Steelclaw
Seeing as how I don't celebrate Christmas and have a personality like a cross between Scrooge, the Grinch, and the Incredible Hulk during this time of year...
NO. I WOULD NOT LIKE THAT AT ALL.
Winter good. Christmas baaaaaad!!!

Steelclaw, you simply have a gift. Bravo.
"How do you know you are on the side of good?" a Paragon citizen asked him. "How can we even know what is 'good'?"
"The Most High has spoken, even with His own blood," Melancton replied. "Surely we know."
I might consider playing Mace if one of the unlockable costume parts was a giant candy cane.
Dispari has more than enough credability, and certainly doesn't need to borrow any from you.

i recall having some decorations being kind of cute in phantasy star online, but i sense the drama lamas would be out if force.
Hmmmmm I like this one. Okay how about..
Nemesis dressed like one of the toys from the Nutcracker... hey he'd fit right in with the majority of his troops then right?
Jack in Irons in a full Santa suit with beard.. hey he's got the belly for the job.
Maybe we could go to Crey's Folly and convince Jurassic to replace that rusty old car at the end of the tree he uses as a club with a Santa Sleigh until after the 25th. Minus the reindeer of course.
Let's send someone to talk to Bile, or whoever is running the Freakshow these days, and see if they can string some twinkle lights from their cybornetic implants. Brickstown would actually twinkle at night!
Okay that's enough of that LOL

Minx would look so cute in a Santa's Helper suit.
On a slighly more plausible note, even if they can't decorate every zone with snow and holiday lights for the winter, would it be such a deal breaker to have a holiday tree inside Paragon City Hall?

Hmmm... on the other hand... perhaps I should start demanding a percentage of tickets earned from any player who created an AE mission based on my intellectual property...
Of course... in my case the intellectual property is on par with Mediterranean and Baltic Avenue...

Then, too, it would make for some interesting behind-your-back sniggering at the hospital... "Those were some interesting contusions you had there; how did you get them?" <mumble> "I'm sorry, I didn't catch that; could you speak up?" "Jurassik hit me with a <mumble>." "Pardon?" "A reindeer! He hit me with a reindeer, okay?" "A reindeer?" "I don't want to talk about it."
"But in our enthusiasm, we could not resist a radical overhaul of the system, in which all of its major weaknesses have been exposed, analyzed, and replaced with new weaknesses."
-- Bruce Leverett, Register Allocation in Optimizing Compilers
With the current game engine it would have to be minus the reindeer, but I can't help thinking how much harder it would be to defeat Jurassik when you're laughing uncontrollably at the eight reindeer dangling in harness, their legs scrabbling frantically, swinging back and forth as Jurassik waves his club around.
