From a certain angle and if you color it black the waterfall single aura looks alot like animate hair....

Thanks a ton, Zombie Man. Do you know which of the 3 lists the Elemental Order parts are in? Those are the best bits!|

Clicking on the linked image above will take you off the City of Heroes site. However, the guides will be linked back here.
I'm a bit disappointed that the Phoenix wings (like the Celestial wings) don't flap when you fly. I suppose they couldn't animate the existing energy shimmer effect and also have them flap, but it would have been nice. As they are, they seem to lack - "life" is the only way I can think to describe it, but that's just my opinion.

Its been a while since I played, so I don't understand this VIP tier system. You have to pay to advance a tier or will it work like veteran rewards and you can advance a tier every couple of months?|

I saw that I gained veteran tokens when I bought $15 in points, but I also noticed that the tokens required increase by tier, so this will be very expensive to go for (only on third tier). What is the ratio of tokens to amount paid?
Even then I'm hesitant to give that much because when I let my subscription expire, I was treated poorly as a customer. Even though I purchase points equal to what I would spend in a subscription.

You can do both - the game treats all financial commitments of $15 the same, and give one reward token for every sum of $15 dollars spent - it doesn't matter if you spend it on 1 month sub time, or on Paragon points to spend in the market - it's still $15, and every time that you spend that amount, you get a token.

You have to spend reward tokens to advance Tiers. You can get a token for every 1200 points you purchase and/or a token for every month you are subscribed.

Hmm...I think the full extent of the set will be easier to view if split into parts on ParagonWiki rather than viewing it as a full set.
Seems kinda silly that they only did Robotic Arm 3. Robotic Arm 2 would have been better, IMO, but I tend towards symmetry.

Yeah; my first thought was "Looks like my Contaminated Man has a new costume part!" He already has the Clunker aura that lets him drip purple stuff all over...

Bit of feedback if any rednames are reading: would love to see the new elemental and magma swords unlocked as alternate models for flame sword, at larger scale for greater flame sword, and the snow and ice sword as an alternate for the ice versions of these powers.
Pretty please? *insert doe eyed emoticon here*

Just as equal as the other costume items locked behind vet status. Only now you have to be a higher level vet.|

Not to mention this time you can get up to that level of vet if you want to.
And equality? You mean between those who subscribe and those who don't?

With all honesty, why not give the VIPs a choice to slot the T9VIP slots?
Rename them Tier VIP, so only if you are a VIP you can place a token in there, even if you only are at T6, like me.
Right now only VIPs can place tokens in them, but not all VIPs have T8 filled, but still would like some of these items.
I hate that i'm VIP, but can't get the cool VIP stuff cause i can't afford to waste $400 on the game to get these items.

I have points squirreled away from both vet and purchased points, but many folks don't. I'm really not fond of the idea of folks 'missing out' because they weren't lucky enough or had the disposable cash at the 'right time' to get the costume things they wanted (or whatever else they give the tier 9's) because they decided to rotate them out for something new.
The idea is the Celestial set is alternated out, for now. If that meant "At the time it was listed it was exclusive to T-9's and now that it's rotated out, we might sell it for cash in the market!" that'd be GREAT! in my opinion. If that means "We rotated it out, and will be available to T-9's exclusively at some point again in the future"... well that frankly sucks.
Again, I have all of them currently, with more rewards to spare on my account. This isn't a point of jealousy, it's a point of wanting folks to see their desires and concepts brought to life in game (the new stuff really brought a lot to my SS/Fire Brute's look that I wanted from the beginning). The idea of some of my SG mates missing out on the Celestial, or the new set, because they either didn't pay fast enough or weren't subbed long enough before it got rotated out just irks me in ways I can't properly describe.
tl;dr Exclusivity sucks. Shut up and let us, let you (reasonably), take our money!

Plus, no Axe or Titanic Weapon versions?

Yes, no axe, but Titanic Weapons gets all three weapons, the two swords and the mace.
I like the head aura, phoenix wings, waterfall backpack, sword, and crystaline pieces.
I still haven't played a stone tank because I think Granite is ugly. These driveway gravel looking pieces don't appeal to me at all. Someone will like them I'm sure, but not me. If I wanted to look like that I'd play a stone tank. They seem too limited in use to me to be worth it.

I second the motion. The look of Fire Swords currently does not suit any of my heroes using those powers. |
