All I have to say is we'd BETTER GET THOSE COSTUME PIECES.

OMG.

Oathbound_Too · 09-09-2011 10:51 AM

Pretty sure it was mentioned a good while ago we'd get them... how long before we do is a whole other story though.

I could always be misremembering though.

Great to see this nice summary out there: I love the First Ward adversaries.

{sidenote}
I want those harpy claws as a costume option.

I would also like a full body slimy skin costume option to go with the Boils aura.

And I'd put them together and be content.

City of Heroes was my first MMO, & my favorite computer game.

OMG.

This is a make or break issue for me.

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.

One thing that caught my eye was that The Talons of Vengeance seem to have individual fingers rather than the usual 'mittens'. I wonder if this tech will eventually be made available to the player character models?

I wouldn't hold my breath.

I uh... would really really rather have the hands we have now than have my characters look like that O.o

I presume that's a separate hand rig that must keep the fingers in that particular configuration, not one that could hold weapons or change poses for casting.

The new NPC factions are absolute win and I have no complaints about them (ain't that saying something?) and the comments in here are very cool, too. Thanks

Who are you? And what have you done with Sam?

But seriously. I agree completely. These new NPC factions are most excellent!

Conveniently-placed hair is a go.

Also, that first pic.

379248 - The Spider Without Fangs - NEW - Some lessons learned (more or less.)

It's not actually new tech, and they aren't technically individual fingers. They're pretty much the exact same as the SoA hands, in that each finger still moves with the others. And we'll probably never get this kind of update to our characters 'cause it'd involve remaking every single glove we currently have available to accommodate it.

Please god. I am PRAYING we get that piece, even if we get nothing else.

...of course, if we get NOTHING else I'm going to be mad... LOL

NightErrant · 09-09-2011 12:22 PM

There are badges for the new groups.

Defeating any Praetorian Carnival enemy grants credit for "Show's Over"

Defeating DUST rangers earns you "DUST in the Wind"

Defeating Awakened earns you the Snooze Button badge.

And defeating Talons of Veng. Earns you Chipped Talon.

Golden Girl · 09-09-2011 01:19 PM

I'm surprised that so many people haven't seen these yet - the open beta's been going for a while now

Cognitive_Genome · 09-09-2011 01:27 PM

Oh God, even though I think PC-compatible pieces from all of those groups would be amazing, I would kill to have the kind of horrific mutations from the Awakened as set pieces. Not enough disturbing, fleshy stuff available to players!

And if I am mad, it is mercy! May the gods pity the man who in his callousness can remain sane to the hideous end!

I've been too busy in Mercy checking out the new arcs and blasting people to dust with my Beam Corr.

After checking out the amazing new graphics for Atlas Park, I went straight to First Ward to soak up all the new Praetorian lore

Maybe not everyone wants to spoil themselves on new content ahead of time.

I'm glad to see that my worries over the poor soldiers from Tabula Rasa staying unemployed were unfounded.

On a more serious note: WANT ALL NAO.

Am I the only one who would have thought the tentacled women would have made for an interesting group of Hamdion's Infested?

If they made it a Hair slot, it might end up clipping with jackets and robes or whatever.

If they made it a Shoulder or Chest slot, then wut?

Also, your quote and your sig kinda make me lol.

Well, looking over the article again, it doesn't say that they're actually being given orders by the Well. They might just be annoying groupie stalkers.

But I haven't run through the new arcs on Beta at all, so what do I know.

The hair can be also part of the hood. Looks like is stuck with the hood.
I was not able to find Praetorian WW, Sorcerer Selene in First Ward.
But I think she should look better.
I love the Talons of Vengeance, I need those costume pieces!

So what if it does clip?

And what's funny about my sig? I want a new hairstyle shown in these screenshots, so therefore... as you say, wut?

Heh, considering your preferences I suspect you're going to change your mind once you actually FIGHT them.

The Awakened, especially, are just mean.
