Coffee Talk Highlights, Jan 11: "What are you lookin' at, butthead?" with Noble Savage
When you say "all of the pieces are for male female and huge", you mean women can wear men's shirts and short skirts? Just like Shania Twain? lol

Great job as usual, VK! Thank you!
And amazing job on those Chinese costumes, WOW!!
Jesus Christ, would it kill you guys to add some comic book super hero costume pieces sometime? Wow.
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.
"There are two versions of the female hat, one where you can color the red and the gold, while the hair stays black, and one where the gold stays, but the red and the hair are tintable."
This is exactly the sort of optional version we want. Glad to see you are listening
Love the costumes, but I'm disappointed at what looks like a trend: limited unique pieces for male characters, with significant proliferation and unique pieces to female characters. While I can appreciate the precarious situation the costume team is in with the uproar caused by the Gunslinger pack, the problem wasn't that there were unique pieces on both sides but that the themes weren't consistent.
Please, begin to make unique parts for both sexes again under consistent themes. Between this Chinese Dynasty and the Sash/Carnival Costume packs, things are heading down the other extreme with just as passionate resentment building for those of us who value our male characters.

@Paladin
Chinese dynasty warriors-style costume sets, I approve in an aggressive fashion. but dave...thats still not a cheongsam, c'mon man, please, i gave you a bunch of reference pics even!
also, can we squeeze any new claw patterns in at some point, the sword thing is kind of becoming a thing at this point.
beyond those quibbles, love both sets and will buy.
I am hoping that the male hat is one of the things they port over for females. It would make the greatest ever bug head in the world! My bug toon could be like the Grand Vizier of the entire bug world!!
And before anyone says it, yes I HAVE looked at all the fake bug heads in the world. I can thus confidently make this assertion.
Seriously . . . . i want beta tonight By friday at the latest!

Actually, we played some Quake as well, but the point is that I didn't sleep primarily because I was so obsessed with Diablo. When I finally did sleep, I had some really bizarre dreams about all of my friends running through a house fighting each other with swords and Quad Damage.

I'm also glad to see the sword will be included for Katana as well as Broad Sword... But I do wish that you'd done that for the great Barbarian Sword as well! You still could, ya know!

I also made a query about a VIP weekend instead of a Reactivation weekend round about the same time as the DXP bit. Tech not available to do it but maybe more offers like the low-cost starter purchase just before Freedom launched.

Bananas_COH: Someone just earned the 'Poor Impulse Control' badge? ;-)
Chat is making arrow to the knee jokes.
Z fumbles around with the complex procedure to be able to show us a photo of Texas Justice and the hat of Zwill's he won in the Real World Hero auction.
psychoti: This week on Mythbusters!
Zwill had to get a new one to replace it. His new one is made of bamboo.
Talk about all the CoH social media places, Twitter, Facebook, Google +, etc.
ZombieManCoh: Do you have a dial up bulletin board?
ZombieManCoh: Is there an 800 chat line?
Talk of G+ Hangouts.
Z: "I am fully prepared to see Chat Roulette type stuff. We haven't seen any yet, though."
ZombieManCoh: Wanna see my squirrel?? (Ustream Squirrel emoticon)
Z is horrified at the thought of ZombieMan showing up wearing nothing but a squirrel.
Noble Savage has returned from his distant homeland of Hawaii. Having eaten too much spam.
TANGENT: Hawaii foodstuffs.
Topic for today: two costume packs. Pocket D Pack and a nw set.
psychoti: We need to get Zwill an orange military-themed jacket. "Tangent-arine"
Kheldarn: NO! CoH is supposed to be a PANTSLESS GAME! T_T
Z: "That's between you and your chair."
Kheldarn: Pfft. Ask Hickman about his pants!
Z: "The tighty whity pack! No pre-tinting please!"
Bananas_COH: Jeans are perfectly acceptale to wear for a superhero as long as you wear your underwear over them!
Z: "You can Bead-azzle them!"
NS: "Those are rivets!"
NS: "We didn't need concept art on this we have a guy wearing one of these to work every day."
NS: "He can make himself in game!"
Z: "We have his hairstyle too."
All of the pieces are for male, female and huge.
NS: "It uses our new cubemap technology to be shiny and reflective."
Man_From_AUNTIE: need to put Mother Mayhem in that
ZombieManCoh: I can see Praetoria in her bust!
SkyStreak: Reflective? Does it provide a + to defense vs. energy attacks?
NS doesn't think there is a non-reflective version.
Z: "I want to go and make a Street Justice character. Persian guy in those jeans. When I was bartending those guys were everywhere, in their white BMWs."
Z accidently clicks the wrong button, again, and begins launching a game.
Inspiration on the items.
NS: "It's jeans."
Z: "Go to the Levi's catalog."
NS: "I wanted to see what it would be like if we applied normal mapping to clothing."
Z: "All the folds and wrinkles are a part of the texture."
Mephistroth: Will we ever get to customize our wrinkles?
ZombieManCoh: No, the dress can't take a pattern, nor the shirt.
NS: "Inspiration for the hair, we don't have a shot right now, people have asked about cooler, longer, more modern hair for guys. It has a tintable section in the front where there are two locks that are dyed."
Z: "Kind of J-pop-y. Not full on anime. BUT NOT EMO!"
NS: "There's one pair of shoes in this set, female only. It's kind of like a strap boot made up out of ties."
Z: "Strappy heel, kind of a modern Hellenic sandal type of thing."
Exclusive Reveal!
1:01 ZombieManCoh: Clown Set!
1:01 Scootaloo2: gasp!
1:01 Kheldarn: CHEESE ARMOR!
1:01 Kheldarn: CARP ARMOR!
1:01 Tyger_UK: Meat Shield powerset
1:01 ZedOmega: Bronies Set!
Z: "This was driven by marketing, as this pack coincides with a popular holiday."
Chinese new year!
Z: "Not sure if every single bit of the costume is being ported over, but there is most of it"
NS: "Male armor is going to female and huge."
The kind of transparent bit on the female leg is pretinted a little bit.
There are two versions of the female hat, one where you can color the red and the gold, while the hair stays black, and one where the gold stays, but the red and the hair are tintable.
Man_From_AUNTIE: now we just need air and water powers and we can have DR do a Big Trouble in Little China video
Z: "It's Broadsword and Katana, I don't think we have one for Titan Weapons."
Tyger_UK: Skaven sword!
Z: "NO! NO! ABSOLUTELY NOT! I'VE SEEN SO MANY SKAVEN SWORDS! IT'S NOT FUNNY! THAT IS NOT A SKAVEN SWORD!"
SkyStreak: Looks liek a peacock to me
Bananas_COH: Looks like a demon-possessed scimitar
coh_beastyle: It's probably a peacock.
Cymmetri: Demon swan?
Cymmetri: OH Demon PEACOCK
Kheldarn: Claws, Bows, Shields, Maces, Axes, Guns - No love, again
Z goes over t he things that have come out recently and are coming up. Pretty much everything except Claws and Shields has gotten something recently, or will be getting something soon.
Z: "This will be for the Brony pack, if Beastyle gets his way."
NS: "You know how Jay has that one thing he will absolutely never do? This is mine."
Z: "Positron has clowns, you have this."
multifoiled: Q: Does the "pocket D" pack come with ruffies?
Z: "It's roofies! R O O F I E S!"
NS: "I think he meant ruffles. Odd where your mind went."
psychoti: Q: Any torn/ripped jeans with those new jeans models?
SkyStreak: Q: Battle Damage pack??
Z: "Maybe you could make some of the more popular ones. Like with dents and stuff."
NS: "Kind of hard to get that for everybody."
Z: "I'm one of those lame people that as a kid read everything, including the dictionary."
TANGENT: Zwill was on one of the later episodes of Win Ben Stein's Money.
Z: "For the interesting thing about you, I mentioned that I played Diablo 2 for 72 hours straight. Ben said you should talk to my son, as he was played Everquest so much that he was sent to boarding school to get him away from the game."
The jeans are tintable, not just blue.
Some talk of having a quiver to go with the new bow.
Sleeveless version of puffy jacket?
NS: "Not in this set."
Z: "There would be nothing but Marty McFly clones."
Rularuu set like the Roman set?
Z: "We've talked about it."
Pretinting on the Imperial armor?
Z: "It's not intrusive, but there are some places where artistically we need to have pre-tinting. Like with this, it's meant to be a mesh panel."
NS: "For some pieces it makes sense, but this little space is meant to be mesh. But we're not going to make a habit of it. Even on the concept art we're keeping that in mind."
Retro sci-fi pack is a go. It's been officially greenlighted and it is actively being worked on.
They're talking about doing the player costume design thing at the next player summit.
Double XP weekend?
Z: "Well... not quite a weekend. But soon we'll see."
Legacy chain pack?
Z: "We know it's a desire, and there are some technical issues about getting those items on PC's."
NS: "We've seen a pattern that people are interested in the NPC-style conversions.
THERE IS A SLEEVELESS PUFFY COAT! But it is not on Beta.
Why can't the new dress and shirt take textures?
NS doesn't know, that's beyond him as he's a concept artist.
Chest details on backs?
Neither knows the technical reasons. But Z is pretty sure that they're running out of 'nodes' to attach it to.
Ultra mode glow for chest emblems?
NS: "I don't see why not. We have 3D chest details."
NS: "It's all in the texture. I don't see a reason why we couldn't do that."
Zwill sings: "You got the Glow" from the Last Dragon.
Rambo costume set?
"Like what? A mullet with a bandana?"
"Tank top with dirty arms?"
"Really big machine guns."
NS: "And a face that looks like this."
NS does a weird sneer-scowl type of thing. Zwill can't get his face to do that.
Imperial Dynasty sword with a dragon rather than a bird?
NS: "I know some other ones were concepted, but I don't remember if any others made it in."
Z: "I don't think they did."
War Witch?
Z: "She's been really busy managing two teams. Maybe closer to I22."
Z: "Also beta for I22 arrives Imminently, T M."
coh_beastyle: Imminently.
Z guesses it will be about summer time for the sci-fi pack.
NS has to head out.
Z: "And suddenly the viewer count plummets!"
Rather than the usual logo we are sent out with the big version of the images
