Hea Dink and Co, on this sound thing.
I too would like the chainsaw to have sound, given your comments on the subject I don't think its going to happen.
The suggestion to have two versions of the saw one with sound and one with out still subjects other players to the sounds so I can also see why you wouldn't want to do that.
So, can you just put a silent sound file on the saw so that us players that want sound can get a sound file and replace the silent one?
Because you know that we know how to do that. We can do the same thing in reverse. I'm sure soundbites of a chainsaw are easy to come by. That makes it a player opt in thing without requiring any UI work, we get what we want with a minim amount of work from your side.
Just putting it out there as an option.
Captain Den'Rath 53* Merk/Traps MM, Rivona 50Energy Blast/Time Cor,Victoria Von Heilwig 53* Dual Pistols/Traps Cor, Crab Spider Webguard 53* SOA, Accela 53* Bot/FF MM,Valkyrie's Executor 53* Broadsword/Shield Def Scrap. On FREEDOM! @Knight Of Bronze
"Hypocrisy, the human inherent." "Let not this work be wasted, apply yourself always."
If need be, I can make my own chainsaw sound effects. Like I did when I played Doom without sound as a kid.
Rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Glad most like the chainsaw ^_^ also the chainsaw in the pic is a Titan weapon so that is why it is so huge, the ones that are going to be in Katana, Sword and Dual blades will be the size of most of the swords.
Just got back from a long trip and saw the pics from last week last night... Still collecting my jaw from the ground.
This whole set keeps getting more and more amazing.
Awesome job, Dink.
I'll toss my two cents in for liking a chainsaw option with sound... but I understand if it's not a realistic possibility. I honestly was prepared for the blades to not animate, so that's a fantastic bonus already.
Loving everything so far... but the patchwork cape is another great addition that I can see varied uses for!

Well at least if the chainsaw is silent, stalkers might be able to use it |

We could have boots that make little "DINK!" graphics pop up. Or a path aura of the same. Then we would live in terror of the silent DINK!

Maybe not ... but you at least know who to talk to about making it happen, who to lean on to make it happen, and who in the office would be willing to demonstrate in person the use of a chainsaw in close proximity to sound editing equipment (with predictably catastrophic results that makes for fabulous youtube footage). Even if you aren't responsible for sound design ... you can "talk" to whoever is ... which is something that *WE* as a community can't do directly (like we can with you, Dink).

Can someone please tell me if the barcode is the same?

Dunno how you're gonna change it, but I love the look/concept of it right now. Everyone's about the chainsaw but damn, I like that cape.

<laughs> I'm suddenly reminded that there are professional gaming chairs available, or were at one time, that had both speakers and vibration units. Now I'm intriuged by the idea of having something like that to complete the ambiance of chainsaw weaponry...|

Or, I could make one myself, and scuff it up with a chainsaw, plus oil stains and duct tape, to give it the perfect Post-Apoc finish.

Even against certain death, it matters not how or if we fight, only that we do.
Most amusing complement I've ever been paid on an outfit, from @Ukase regarding my Blue Eyed She-Devil Anson Maddocs "Fallen Angel" homage:
"She gives my ex-wife a run for the money."
"She gives my ex-wife a run for the money."
I've gone through all 22 pages of this wonderful thread and I'm excited. Do I see myself using these pieces? Nope, not yet. But I will. Just like I did with the CoL and CoT, I at first felt I'd never use them, and have since grabbed both and used them on my Kali-themed toon, and female Banished Pantheon/Voodoo lady. They work wonderfully.
A side note about the mohawks, I personally am looking forward to them. While I am DEFINITELY on the bandwagon for a Hairstyles (maybe +Faces) pack (especially curly! I'm a curly-headed woman, and I want to pay homage with my toons!), I also see the utility in having multiple 'hawks. First off, the fauxhawk is only available to males/huge. Secondly, the short and tall 'hawks currently available to females are older. The upcoming Cybertech 'hawk has me super happy for the various 'alternative' toons I have. To me, IMHO, one could just as easily say "Oh, there are too many long hairstyles. Don't need to add more." Obviously, they do (and hopefully will)!
As some others have said, just because (general) you personally don't like something in the pack, doesn't mean someone else can't take it and make it fantastic. And it also doesn't mean you yourself won't in a few months realize how perfect X will go with your second costume. I never thought I'd use that stupid Jester collar. It's now the highlight of Mambo Awiti's (my voodoo chick) attire.
So I definitely look forward to playing around with this when it's released, and mixing and matching to my heart's content.
Finally. The hairstyles. DINK. I LOVE YOU.
I had asked months ago for dreads that didn't look like a Koosh-ball. When the Cybertech pack came out on the Beta server, I flipped! The dreads are gorgeous. These cornrows (while not technically the same) have even more versatility and I am just ecstatic. Others have already sung your praises, and I'll join in the chorus (soprano harmony). We can gratefully see how much you love your work, and the detail you've put into the hairstyles lately has made me all warm and fuzzy inside. The attention you and other Devs give to us in-game, forum, and G+/Facebook posts just makes me adore this game more and more. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
I'm so excited for this set.
I'd love a hairstyle pack, maybe + faces as said above.
I'd want to see curly headed male hairstyles. I almost never see hair like mine in video games.

I'm not sure if people are still reading this thread, but as for the whole "clean options on the pieces" requests, maybe there's a chance that the dirt colour is tintable, and that one could make it the same colour as the rest of the piece to create a clean-looking effect. I don't think this has happened very much with previous costume pieces, but it's a possibility.
I wish they weren't, but they are.
