So, with issue 19...close-ish to release.


and Mind control, mental manipulation, and psychic blast all listed for new animations.


How many think that the VEAT Widows will gain access to the new animations?



or, opposit that, how many think we might be skipped over, for our powers not actually being specifically labeled as MC/PB/MM?


Discussion time!

Magisterum- 50+3 Fortunata--Virtue

Lukerion- 33 Emp/Rad Defender--Virtue
Noah Heartily- 34 SS/SD brute- Virtue
Mika Heartily- 50+1 Fire/MM blaster-Virtue

I think given that the EAT's currently don't have access to power customisation Widows won't get them.

I think it'll be a long while before EATs get power customization. Power pool customization would definitely come first, and that's still a long while off.

Plus the devs might not ever want us changing the appearance from what the npcs use given that EATs are supposed to have the same power source.

Kinda sucky, but we should be realistic here.

Active (Freedom): Setna (Ice/Psi Dom), Arram (WP/KM Tank), Tesmiel (Elec/SS Tank), Astredax (Robot/Dark Mastermind), Operative Vidali (melee fortunata)

Retired (Virtue): Gaav (Inv/EM Tank), Baqra (Fire/SS Tank)

Well, EATs get Weapon Customization, but currently not Power Customization. And even their Weapon Customization is limited. (Only Arachnos themed choices, even on "civilian" costume slots)

I think the bigger issue is that I believe it is not currently possible to have Power Customization AND Weapon Customization at the same time. And while you can't select your Widow's claws, you can change their color. So you would have to lose the ability to color your claws to gain the ability to color your blasts.

OTOH, since so many threads have been about allowing weapon users to customize the colors AND animations of their attacks, it's possible that this limitation will be removed in the future.
