So many pennies!

Lots of ways I'd like to see Penny--most of them involve her NOT being on my loading screen.

I was never a fan of Penny's new costume, but I have to say - she has a very impressive chin.
*edit*
Also, when can I make a Night Elf Druid of my own? I've wanted that for a long time.

And remember: There is only one piece of True Spandex, dug out of a crashed flying saucer in 1947. They keep stretching it out and cutting yards off it. This explains why superhero costumes keep getting thinner over the years.....

Too bad her ingame face is practically the same as Foreshadow's.
I guess she's proving that indeed, women can do things just as well as men can.
Like having manly faces.

So now they tease us even more with Penny's great costume pieces and we get to lack them?

I'm not sure how anyone would think that looks pretty. Her face looks swollen, her eyes are practically on the sides of her head, and her jawline would make Buzz Lightyear blush with pride.
Unless they changed her since that picture was taken, then yeah.
*edit* And that metal thing on her head is seriously not helping her features.
Interesting. If its going to change with every issue, I'd really like to see a featured player or sg once a year.
Quote:
While I wouldn't go quite this far, I simply find her costume chaotic and vastly over-done. Zippers, buckles, belts, padding, midriff, multiple colours, face plates AND face paint, and none of it really feels like it follows any rhyme or reason, at least not such that are easy to determine at a glance. I've seen worse costumes (the statesman's face plate always looked ridiculous to me from anything but a dead straight angle from where it looks like a whole helmet), but Penny's is definitely up there. It just feels too random to me.

My only issue is that it's not fitted for 16:10 screens. Again.
Oh well. :V
You still stink at following basic beta rules.

Some part of me does worry the devs are going to start overexposing penny.
I mean do the Devs remember why players hated States and hate Recluse?
Because they're ubiquitous, trumped up as more powerful than any player, and yet they do about as much as playtapus that is not Perry.
So, while it's nice to Penny moving up (and seriously, she, nor any of the phalanx, are involved in ANY of the new Praetorian stuff, what's she doing fighting Shadow Hunter?) up in the world, you may want to start dialing it back before people get tired of her being "The worlds most powerful psychic" and you need to put up a Signature story arc to kill her off.

Well, my theory about Penny's costume is that it's because she's a huge fan of Tetsuya Nomura.

Yeah it's pretty damn bad. I agree with your sentiments. It has no identifiable unifying theme and the colour scheme isn't working well. Way too 'busy'.|

Actually, and rather disturbingly because no-one wants those days back, it looks Liefeldian*.

honestly, i like the costume, but i like busy costumes. plain spandex Is a visual aesthetic that just strikes me as dated and old fashioned. her costume is interesting.
I like her costume, and overall look, as well!
And... I do not find her face weird looking at all. I have no idea what people are talking about...
Actually, I like her face a lot (reminds me a bit of Michelle Yeoh).
Oh no! Call the opinion police!!
