What about buckled leather with "cutouts"? Where the underlying part would be bare skin, similar to the "holes" texture on tights.

CoH does not use that art style, but if you just love it you could fake it with the small mask face options and some of the faces that have blank white eyes, or a stable eye aura set to black.

Kidnapping States was a repeatable mission for NPCs.

Are these pieces all shiny and reflective just like celestial armor is? if so then my heart is breaking. although these pieces are AMAZING and i cant wait to have hands on them. if there all shiny then they wont match up with ANY OTHER PIECES that would truly be a disappointment because i hate costumes that use all the same set. it lacks creativity and and style i wont use more then 3 pieces of the same set on a single costume the shiny reflective celestial armor made this very difficult.

I thought that was said in an Intrepid Informer but I did a quick scan of those articles didn't find that statement anywhere. Does anyone else remember reading anything like that?

Maybe I'll dig up Von Krieger's transcripts of old Ustreams. Maybe this is a statement Zwill made. And if Zwill lied I'm gonna rub it in his face.

the big names in the Justice League, they're all VERY pompous and pious, especially the likes of Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman. There's no light-hearted undertone in the team, nothing to overcome when they have to win the battle

Avengers has that in spades, it feels like a real dysfunctional and human team, one that you can believe in and support and want to win when they group up at the end.

The JLU animated series worked as it had the humour of Wally West as the Flash, plus a lot of funny supporting characters. A movie with Barry Allen in it, the only one of the big 7 that's really got a sense of humour is Hal Jordan, at least in his early days. I think that's what they tried to introduce with the GL movie but it never quite gelled in the same way that Robert Downey Jr did with Iron Man.

Comic Book movies such as the big teamups work best when there's a little bit of humour in there, Justice League will be hard pressed to do that.

Of course, a machine gun might be effective against jedi since they should be faster than a jedi's ability to react.

But it does leave me scratching my head about Radiation Armor. Yeah, I'm sure it's a hot topic of a lot of threads on the forums, but you can already make a radiation armor character in the game: Dark Armor colored something other than dark and Radiation Emissions on Defender, Controller or Corruptor. IMO, asking for Rad armor is like asking for melee weapon sets on Defender/Controller to fit the theme of a melee Rad character...or asking for Storm Armor because apparently Storm Summoning isn't 'armory' enough on those other ATs.

Feels like the playerbase is squandering what little opportunity we have...or maybe that the devs should actually use that avenue of player feedback to make future sets to avoid conflicts like Bio Armor vs Rad Armor...which I'm sure Bio could fit a Rad theme and if not, Dark.

That said, Thrown Weapons would have been a great set, animation wise, for the ranged ATs. Even if kept simple, there are various ways to throw things: overhand, under, backhand sweep, multiples, arching...a lot of character movement vs push hand out, push two hands out.

What was it like? I'm guessing the episodes were playing simultaneously, each one in its own little "cell"?

You have to have a certain level of vigilantism to want to join Longbow. Why else would one feel the need to join a para-militant organization like Longbow but *not* join the Army/Marines, PPD etc? You don't think the meta superheros are thwarting villains properly? Why would one think they'd have to go so far as to carry grenades, assault rifles and flamethrowers just to 'help'?

It's one thing to dawn a cape and tights and jump in to bust up some villains, and it's another to exercise martial law when there's a perfectly capable police force. If the PPD step out of line, they're subjected to the laws and punishable by the government. I doubt Longbow can say the same.

So yeah, if anyone in Longbow are 'heroes' and want to join an organization to help the city, they should be in the PPD. End of story.

PS: And before one asks "Well why don't all blueside characters join the PPD?", I'll say not all blueside characters want to join a larger organization that enforces the law on an entire population. Some just want to do what they can. If you're going to be the workhorse for an agency that enforces the law, join the right one. Otherwise stick with the cape and non-committed agencies that don't break laws where they're convenient.
