Due to Omni's screenshot thread, here is some initial video. Ablative shatters then vanishes once used, to clear things up.

Part 2 will have some gameplay.

EDIT: Part 2 is up, showing survivability testing here.

I really like the visuals, actually. Definitely have to take it into account on your costuming choices, but I can't wait until it's live.

I couldn't tell from the video, but is there any way to get something covering up your head? Sort of like that whole body morph from Prototype. I loved using that.

Man, I am really digging the look of the bio armor.

So you spend most of your time looking like a giant tree root?

I know Ablative shatters but if you aren't getting hit then it sucks, I thought they would have learned their lesson from Granite.

You can also set those powers for minimal effects so you just get the hazy, particle effects without the geometry.

I'm pretty sure it has a minimal graphic setting that removes the tumors.

In that case the set looks really, really nice.

Being able to pick and choose which parts are covered is a nice touch. Just needs a revamp of spines now

Yeah I made sure to show and also explain that the graphics can be minimalized in both videos.

Thanks JB, I was wondering what the set looked like.

Hey no problem - I try to make new videos regularly. There are several changes coming to both Bio Armor and Nature Affinity that haven't hit the server yet.

I've played the set on Test. It looks good and works well...like WP but with different flavor and more choices. My biggest concern is that the newer sets get all the attention while the older sets need some luv.

I like the fact that I can turn all but the right arm visuals off and just have a massive bio arm.

I have a BA Brute on Test but I haven't figured out how to turn off all but the arm effects. How do you do that please Turbo?

Trust me. There is no older set that wants the same treatment Bio is getting right now.


Eventually, more sets will get some of the "unique" mechanics slapped into them. Bio is more of a test run than anything, I think.

We'll have to see how it turns out.
