Didn't Zwill ask that we don't post Mecca pics from Beta or is that no longer in effect?

Does this mean we're now "that laser-sword MMO" that GG keeps making snide remarks about?

I don't want to state something that may be obvious but...Maybe we shouldn't get too attached to these.

We survived Wolverine claws and a butt ton of other costume parts that folks think would get us in legal trouble. I think we'll be fine.

will check to see if we have distressingly small racial selection, loot based character customization options, no viable martial artist path and a specific, limited sci-fi setting. I suspect the energy sword thing sailed with talsorian katanas though.

Lucasfilm does not have a copyright on the general idea of energy swords, as evidenced by the vast horde of them that have appeared in all kinds of media. And yeah, Sam, the moratorium was lifted after the official Mecha announcements.
Personally, I quite like the claws... those and some of the other mecha pieces, plus the recent Stalker changes, are making me consider some kind of Victoria-based character (The experimental Mk Something-in-roman-numerals-that-can-be-turned-into-a-phonetic-pronunciation).

So... yes?

EDIT--
Yeah, agree with the above.
Zwil's retraction was from 4/12...
Weeeeeeeell...I'm sure that they know what they're doing. I only worry because Lucasfilm has a terrible track record of suing over ridiculous things.

Well, glad to see I was wrong. Thank you for correcting me

Did I forget anything?
EDIT--
Yes I did. Chest details.
1sec...
K I think that's the last of them.
I'm really happy with the way the parts are built. Not only is there little or no clipping on the set, but you can pair the set pieces with whatever you like and they still meet up well. They are all nice and big, too. I think we needed more big options in the builder. Same kind of praise for the Mecha Wing 1. I love how compact and low it is when not flying, and we needed a wings detail that wasn't so huge when folded up behind you.
Yes... I know I mispelled 'pec' and 'trail', but whatevs I'm not reupping them to fix type-o's. :P
Regarding the Rifle issue you mentioned... EVERY rifle modle in the game available to the AR set clips through the elbows. And yes, it is annoying.
-This Space Intentionally Left Blank.-
I really can't wait to get a hold of this stuff.
Where to now?

I've wanted an AK with no stock since CoVillains came out... it's the quintessential 'bad guy' weapon IMO. One of those with an under barrel grenade launcher would be really sweet for AR and obviously not clip.|

They are. I've wanted Vanguard claws for ages and, sadly, the Vanguard claws suck since they're mounted on the forearms and don't work with most Claws animations, which are intended to direct the claw with the hand. The Mecca Armour claws are mounted to the hand, and as such all animations work for them perfectly. Sweetness!

My favourites are the face set-up, even with only being Full Helmet locked, the wings and the claws. My alien claws stalker will be getting an upgrade when this hits live, as will a re-named Arachnos gun-soldier, since (Thank feth...) the VEATs can use the Mecha guns.

By the time Massively finally did their thing last week it was pretty much open season for anyone after that. In fact the actual thread that was originally leaked was even fully restored back to the beta forums -after- massively ran their article.

The latest one also shows a mysterious animal in the background that appears to be wearing or carrying comething on tis back - but the devs are playing coy about what it is

Gundam homage anyone
I would really like to get these costume parts, but I only just filled out my T8 this month.

I finally just logged onto beta to look at the weapons. The dev's screenshots aren't that great and don't include everything. I'm going to post some shots here for those who can't or don't want to bother.
I'm a LITTLE worried about someone not liking that I post it outside VIP beta, but then again I see lots of stuff posted early. Olympian Guard, Beast Mastery, and Staff fighting were all in the 'post your best costume designs' thread before they were released. So here goes...
Here are the weapons.
Armor and back pieces are in a post below.

New post for armor below.
Should have reserved. /facepalm.
