  1. Stretching. They've said it would be hard to do with the game's engine. (Impossible? Don't remember the quote) But hey, staple of the genre.
  2. Look at the size of the tiles on the ground and the spacing between the windows. The others aren't tiny, he's large. While growth would be cool, note that right in front of the larger hero/statue, there's a person wearing the exact same costume as him.

    Player statues?

    EDIT: It's in Galaxy. Could that mean something? New wave of Battalion!Shivans taking form of the first hero they see, so sort of the doppelganger tech like mentioned earlier in the thread?
  3. I can really only answer one, as I have no in-game experience with them.

    They look like the targeting drone from devices, or the little robotic drone combat bet you get through Paragon reward points.

    Cape of the Four Winds, IIRC, from the CoH collectors edition.

    Worst MMO ever

    What happens if I start greifing? Can they ban me from the game?

    Zwil may not have been able to tell us anything, but I think some of that discussion ended up here.


    *tips hat devward*
    Those were announced at the last Player Summit. So, no.

    None of the Greek gods were exactly good role models.

    So, proof of power pool customization?
    What rock do you live under? [/sarcasm]

    Pool and epic customization has already be announced. How did you miss the forum explosion?

    Is it too late to add four more costumes to my above post?
  11. So, in theory, a person can submit 4 batches of four heroes?
    Name: Woodsman

    Why: I imagined that the heroes constantly pushing back the Hamidon and the Woodsman's misc helpings of Eden would help the zone be restored to it's former glory. With the Woodsman's connection to nature, I thought that maybe the Woodsman would heal with Eden. Obviously not alive again, but I thought he might've regained some power, and gained the ability to become physical for short mounts of time.

    Name: Ms Liberty

    Why: Tangent:This is the only member of this batch I really had trouble with. I picture this costume some time in the future, with Ms. Liberty moving away from the 'classic hero' vibe which is already sinking. As for more specific, I picture her donning this costume after her current costume was ripped to shreds in a battle with Recluse's Patrons.

    Name: Luminary

    Why: When I started making this costume, I pictured a very battle torn Luminary, but I couldn't make that work. After several failed attempts, I took it to the next step, where Positron would repair Luminary. I figured that since Luminary was created almost twenty years ago when Luminary was repaired the newer technology would change her appearance greatly. With this, I went for a more armored look. The belt, I figure, is a way for the robot to expel 'dead' or used energy, hence the green glow.

    Name: Infernal

    Why: Again, I thought of what his costume might be like in the future. I said to myself, 'Who said he ever stopped binding Demons to his armor?', and this is what happened.

    EDIT: Adding more because I did not entirely get the 'points' system used.

    Name: Mynx

    Why: Mynx emphasizing the cat aspect of herself always seemed strange to me, a little childish. Of course, when she first became a hero, PW describes her as a 'Young girl', so that's okay. But now that she's grown older, I thought she might've reflected on her costume and gotten rid of that aspect.

    Name:Aurora Borealis

    Why: Out of all the Vindicators, Aurora seems the most vulnerable. Mynx's got super reflexes, and I'm sure Swan could wip up a spell of some kind. But Aurora? If she's up against an enemy that can resist her mind control, she's dead. So I thought it would make sense for her to get some light armor and not have holes in her clothes for the Praetorian War or the Battalion.

    Name: Valkyrie

    Why: So, the only hero in the Vindictors to rely on technology hasn't updated their armor in ten years? Maybe the war will give her some incentive.

    Name: Swan

    Why: For a magic user, she doesn't seem too magic-y. So, I attempted to fix that. A possible in-game explanation: She began expanding her magic knowledge greatly, and what she's learned has caused her personality quite a bit, so when she had to get a new outfit it was massively different from her previous one.

    -H
    The first half of your post can stand alone as a fine system, it doesn't need anything else.
  13. I was with you until that 'making it attractive part'. Balance isn't just horrible with option three, there. /Signed for the first half, but otherwise /unsigned.
    Also, Radiation Accident= Being exposed to the Terra Volta reactor core, so it'd need a new concept behind it.

    Psi works pretty well.
  15. When we have that annual vote for your favorite dev thing again this year, what size do you want your trophy, Dink?
  16. SO MUCH THE ORIGINAL POST. SO MUCH. AKA: /signed on everything mentioned.

    Also, if we're going to go so far as 'alternate arm' instead of robotic, why not tights, too?
  17. Why didn't I subscribe to you last time I got a link to one of your videos?
  18. I am very happy with this news. Like, extremely happy. If BB wasn't 50, I'd re-roll, and I'm thinking of re-rolling my Water Blaster, and plan to make a Fire/MC.
    Activate Reaction Time---> Pop some purples---> Pop Reach For the Limit---> Speed Burst---> RoF---> Dragon's Tail---> Fireball.

    I don't have enough experience with fire to say if anything will still be alive, but there's always Inferno.

    ...and yes, I know you can do "minimal FX" but still.
    But still? Why but still?
  20. Alternate animations are purely aesthetic and are designed to have the same animation time as the original power.

    Buy my IO!

    I bid 80 million!

    How serious I am with that amount is up to your discretion.
  22. This thread has no real topic to discuss. Post pictures.
  23. You should swap the first and second lines position, so the lines keep getting shorter. Plus, it still makes sense.
