    I think I did see hulk in a kimono in one comic strip, he definitely did get aboriginal tattoos at one time though, there's nothing to say that a player couldnt decide to have their costume piece as a tribal tattoo.
    What Marvel and DC comics choose to write in their comic books has no bearing on what NCSoft/Paragon Studios chooses to put in their game. If they want to put that crap in their own MMO's then they are free to do so.

    Yes.
    Ya know I hadn't even considered this might be sold as a pack but Yeah I'd be willing to pay for it. With the stipulation that the pack contained at least 1 alternative option for each primary Mastermind powerset.

    The OP can deny it all he or she wants but items are lewt and it's a headache we don't need in this game.

    I honestly don't know. I recall them saying that about letting us customize MM pet outfits like we can our own costumes, or am I misremembering?

    As Herc said Mafia Gangsters vintage 1920-1930's for thugs.


    Oh and to make sure theres no confusion I'm just talking about changing the skins on the current henchmen, not creating a whole new powerset.

    Where did I say anything about hardware issues? I just said that game was designed to be played on other gaming devices and they scrapped the idea. I didn't go into any details about why they made that decision.

    You can't post it on the forums because it's against the rules and will get modsmacked. But I don't think it's against the rules to discuss it via Private Messages.

    Whether or not you decide to share that info with Tyger or someone else is up to you. Personally I just hope your issue gets resolved to your satisfaction. Best of luck with it.

    No argument there neighbor. But I'm hoping to use steampunk bots as the foot in the door to getting the others added. Catch them when enthusiasm is high.

    An empty sheath please. While it is slightly annoying to have weapons appear out of nowhere, I find it even more annoying to be holding a weapon and yet the sheath/holster clearly shows the weapon hasn't been drawn yet.

    That's your opinion. I think it looks sweet and it goes well with my older noir themed characters. Not all character concepts use modern tech.

    There's enough room for everyone to get a style of backpack items they like.
  12. Uhm. No. This game wasn't designed to be played on those systems. A certain other super hero MMO that recently went F2P was designed to be played on other systems than the PC's and even they had to scrap the idea.
  13. Title says it all. I think that now that we have the cool steampunk booster pack we really need an alternate steampunk set of bots to choose from.

    I figure the choice can be added to the same screen that lets us decide on what colors we want for powers. That was we can choose between the original bots or a steampunk version.

    C'mon whichever dev is in charge of this (not sure if it would be sexyJay or someone that does powers) You guys know you want to do this. Stop lying to yourself and give us steampunk bots.

It will still technically be possible for a "private" league to run as open and then kick extras but since people can keep rejoining they'll have to keep kicking people for the duration of the trial.

    Adeon is there any word on what they plan to do when someone gets it in their head to grief these open league trials by getting dropped in random trials and deliberately doing something that will cause the trials to fail?
  15. The only open PvP I'd support would be if it was on a seperate server so I can be free to enjoy PvE without some jacktard harassing me. I have better things to do than wasting my time petitioning and /gignoring morons that can't take no for an answer.

    So what if it is. It's a simple fact that most people hate having the star and eagerly pass it off to someone that wants it. And control freaks are just the type of player that will want the star and will grab it as soon as it's offered.

    Now I'm not trying to say this will happen frequently, the control freaks are a very small fraction of the community, but it will happen nonetheless.

    Team Leaders still have the ability to kick anyone they like whenever they like. That was what the whole fuss was about a few weeks ago. People getting kicked from open leagues where the Team Leaders only wanted a certain number of players (like the minimum required) or just people they knew and not random Puggers.

    We are not talking about the second part of The Reble Flesh, we are talking about the mid season finale, A Good Man Goes to War.

    You are a week behind the UK.

    This thread will likely contain spoilers for both episodes!

    Don't Care! Tell me anyway!

    All that this is going to accomplish is that there will now be a faction of players that will leave their leagues open so they can get the increased merits but the Team Leaders will have a list of who they are allowing in the League and they'll wait to actually form the league until the last possible second and start immediately, then they'll simply kick anyone else that gets put into the league by the queue.


    Edit: Never underestimate the greed of some players.

    I didn't say hats, I said helmets. Go select a Hood, Full Helmet, Medieval Helmet, Special Helmet, or even a Half Helmet options and tell me what hair choices you are given. Oh that's right you get none.

    The only hair we get is under the plain Helmet option and even there you get 1 type of hairstyle and that is dictated by the style of helmet you choose. Skull Cap gives you a Ponytail, and Viking ans Saxon have the same unkempt hairstyle.

    Believe me every one of you has my sympathy on this issue but until that region of the world gets better at cracking down on internet credit card fraud and hacking I don't see an easy solution.

    There are two ways to retain the specialty of the reward.

    1. Make the costumes pieces unlockable for the entire account. That way when someone sees a level 1 with those pieces they know that the player has a 50 somewhere that went to all the trouble of unlocking it.

    2. Make at least two types of every gated costume piece. At least 1 generic version that everyone has access to in the costume creator from scratch and at the fancy versions with all the bells and whistles which have to be unlocked.

    Option two makes everyone happy. The people that have a concept they need a costume for are happy while they are working towards unlocking the fancy costume pieces, and the people that prefer gated costume pieces are happy because the fancy stuff is still gated.
