Phantom Army Clones

While on the test server just now, a player asked Positron if it'ld be possible to turn Phantom Army into clones of ourselves like the ones we face ingame currently. Positrons answer? They want to do it and are trying but at the moment there are technical difficulties with it . . . .

Bad news they cant do it yet, but good news they are at least thinking

It would be cool to have that option. On the other hand, one of my costumes on one of my Illusion 'Trollers is a copy of PA, so it would kind of make that moot.

[Broadcast] Pirea1: will illusion phantom army ever get the choice to have doppelganger tech applies to it so we can summon ghostly versions of ourselves?
[Broadcast] Pirea1: er, applied to it^
[Broadcast] Overload: good call Pirea
[Broadcast] Panther Woman1: Oh, that would be cool
[Broadcast] Positron: We're looking into that Pirea, it turns out to be a lot more work than it looked at first.
[Broadcast] Pirea1: seems like a good time to ask, I've always wanted to know that
[Broadcast] Ultimate Damz4: so its on the board?
[Broadcast] Peripeteia: i think multiplicity was mentioned before on boards and got a no as too hard right now or somit
[Broadcast] Positron: If tech comes on-line that makes it easier than it is today, it's on the board.

At the SF Meet and Greet, Positron said that it was their original intent with Phantom Army to have this effect, but they didn't have the tech at the time, so they went with what they have now. He said then that they are looking into ways of using the doppelganger tech for Phantom Army, but are wary to change things because there are bound to be players that get very upset at the change.

I got the impression that they love using the tech and anyplace they can find a cool way to use it, they will.


Never argue with stupid people. They drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.

So then we should expect multiple man Masterminds sometime in the future?

I'll say what others have said in the past: it would be a nice option, but I have multiple toons that the change would kill their entire concept. If its an option to be the present costume OR clones OR better yet customizable costumes then I'm all for it.

I just want it as alternative summon choice, like how you can pick alternative animations for various moves. Either summon random three sizes decoy, or summon a ghostly current costume version of yourself. In fact, have it apply to Phantasm too. That way, everyone can have their cake.
