Kitsune Knight

Doc Automata, my Bots/Traps MM: Front. A bit too much black/orange... need to work in a third color somehow.

Kitsune Knight: Front, Side. I used a decent amount from the Cyborg pack as well as some from the Wedding Pack (notice the double cape ). I still need to do a good bit more to this costume, but I have the basics for it now.

Kitsune Operative: Combat Stance, Face, HUD demonstration video. My beloved Ar/Dev Blaster I only did very minor tweaks for this new costume (+HUD and Shoulder Cyborg Cables), but I think they add a very nice touch.

All I have right now, but I'm about to make a new costume for my Bots/Traps MM (the one in the robot dance video ) which desperately needs a better outfit... and I already got some plans

Thanks! Added notes about these, as well as re-formating the section about the power (list instead of paragraph to make it easier to read).

Only a rehash in the sense of it being also tech themed, the parts look far different (I especially love the face details and the shoulder pads)

30. Need to also unlock Auras

Edit: Updated guide to mention you still have to unlock auras.

see if Phoenix works or not.

[/ QUOTE ]

It does, I have a video of it in action. Also, awakens work (I have a video of that as well). Has anyone actually tested to see if ally rezzes work? I haven't checked to see if that was changed after the last patch.

I'll ask this question here, since I wasn't able to go through the 60+ pages in the other thread:

Do -res debuffs affect the power of the blast? Like with the Vet attacks, you can't enhance their damage through any buffs, but a -res debuff will increase their damage in a non-direct way.

Anyone used this yet enough to know the answer?

[/ QUOTE ]

If it'll work on the vet attacks, then I'd imagine it'd work on this. Pretty sure only unresistable damage wouldn't be impacted by -res (and this isn't unresistable).

Great work!

Hey! Don't think this means you still don't need to add that info officially to the website.

Some of us can't stand those annoying adyield pop-ups from photobucket!

Get a real web browser

You can use the Cyborg details on your face without the Hat and get a nice Cyborg look, thats what my Widow uses (along with the sphere shoulder option and gloves).

Yes, yes it does. I posted a video with my bots mm + henchmen doing it

Yeah it looks like theres still some bugs to work out with it. If you're on a mission map you should be able to have the team leader kick you and when you're forced out of the zone you should have your body back then you could re-join.

Self destruct gave me debt.

I thought it wasn't supposed to do that?

[/ QUOTE ]

It shouldn't, sounds like there's still more kinks to work out.

@EvilRyu,
They're in Auras, also the character has to have Auras unlocked and they're all in a single category.

@Ironik
All characters get it and it's automatically in the 'Inherent' section of their power page (no need to click on a badge to claim it).

@Hallowed
The real numbers says it's unenhancable by outside buffs, so I'd imagine they wouldn't.

[ QUOTE ]
What's the deal with the self destruct? Is it an actual Nova-like power, or is it an emote? BaB said something about it not killing Kitsune, which makes it seem like a PBAoE... but if so, do you not garner debt with it?

I mean, it looks cool, sure, but I have to use this emote for the self-destruct thing -->

[/ QUOTE ]

It's a power, and it's SUPPOSED to kill you (doesn't give you debt, you can use self rez/awakens, not sure about others using an ally rez on you), but I've encountered a couple bugs where I wasn't completely killed and other issues. It does more damage than Corruptor/Defender Nukes, and a little less than (some) Blaster nukes... but it has a FAR larger radius than a Blaster nuke.

I updated the first post, the screenshots of the costume items are now FAR better, both the colors and quality. Wanna thank JLove and that-poster-that-I-can't-remember (whoever suggested red and white ) for the tips!

Thats why I picked those colors. Unfortunately they worked too well.

I had the graphics turned down really low so that I could use fraps without my laptop exploding

This afternoon I'm going to update the guide with better screenshots that don't use an eye-bleed inducing color combination as well as higher graphics settings.

The Super Booster I - Cyborg pack costs $9.99 and is available for purchase on the PlayNC store in the City of Heroes / City of Villains section. This 'guide' will give details information about all the parts of the Super Booster I - Cyborg pack (from now on referred to as 'Cyborg pack' for brevity).

By purchasing the Cyborg pack and adding it to one of your accounts, all characters on that account will have access to: an 'extensive' costume set, 3 character emotes, 4 "combat" Auras, and a unique power.

Emotes
There are 3 emotes included with the Cyborg pack, one of which is a dance, and the other two show your character turning on and off. <ul type="square">[*]Robot Dance - /emote robotdance (View Video, View Video of MM+Henchmen)[*]Power Up - /emote powerup (View Video) Note: The Power Up emote only works after using Power Down[*]Power Down - /emote powerdown (View Video, View Ending Pose)[/list]
Auras
The 4 auras available through the Cyborg pack are activated only when your character is in a 'combat' stance. You're in this stace whenever you're attempting to use attacks and powers along those lines. Like other Auras, you must be at least level 30 and have completed the Aura Mission for your side before you may use them.<ul type="square">[*]Left Eye Laser (color tintable) (View)[*]Right Eye Laser (color tintable) (Same as Left)[*]Both Eyes Laser (color tintable) (View)[*]Holographic HUD (Heads up Display) (Front View, Side View)[/list]There is also a video showing all the auras (though there are some jittering, it's far smoother in reality)

Power
The power included with the Cyborg Pack is called 'Self Destruction'.<ul type="square">[*]Recharge: 1 hour (unenhanceable, unmodifiable by +Recharge)[*]Activation Time: 10 seconds[*]Interruption time: Uninterruptable[*]Radius: 40 feet (equivalent to Blaze)[*]Arc: 360 degrees (Full Circle)[*]Target Cap: 16[*]Accuracy: 1.00 (Standard)[*]Slottable: No[*]Category: Inherent Powers[*]Level 1 Damage: 50[*]Level 50 Damage: 535.44 (Current Negative+Negative damage, supposed to be Fire+Smashing)[*]Misc Notes: This power will immediately suppress stealth powers upon activation. Also, if activated while Phase Shifted this will not deal damage to any enemies, even if Phase is dropped before the power finishes animating.[*]Extra: Kills the caster after 10.13 seconds (.13 seconds after dealing damage), will not give the castor debt, will leave the castor able to only use self rez, wakies, hospital/base but not ally rez (Howling Twilight might be an exception, needs to be checked)[*]WARNING: Currently (as of September 18th, 2008) there appears to be some issues with this power, sometimes causing debt (appears to be if you have any form of debt protection active), sometimes leaving you without a body but unable to go to the hospital.
[u]Videos[u][*]Self Destruction from a distance[*]Higher quality, close up Self Destruction[*]Self Destruction failing to kill a player, but removes the body[*]Self Destructing Bane Spider, demonstrates rezzing after as well as the knockback[*]Self Destruction - Rise of the Phoenix, can you say oh so thematically appropriate?[/list]

Costume
The Cyborg Pack includes 14 peices, four shoulder pads, two chest details, belt, robotic arm, glove, legs/pants, boots, hat, and two head details. The normal pictures are primary color red, secondary white with all settings at the highest.
<ul type="square">[*]Cyborg Costume Set

Edit: Changed costume pictures to be not so horrifyingly bad. Also want to say thanks to JLove, BaB, Castle and the other devs that made this awesome set!

You make me CRY!

WHY BE SPENDIN' MONEY MAKEING SERVER TRANSFERS N' NEW POWER SETS SO U JUST GET MORE MONEIES?! BE MORE CURRENT IN TECHNOLOGY AND CONVERT THE SERVERS INTO ONE!!! kthxbai

[/ QUOTE ]Because they're a business. Do you not realize that a business's job is to... MAKE MONEY. They're not here to entertain you. They're not here to make you happy. The only thing they're supposed to do is MAKE MONEY. The rest is an ends to a mean for all businesses. Also lol@server consolidation.

Oh yes, and if Kitsune Slayer becomes Kistune Slayer3 from server consolidation, I'll personally hunt down and beat the crap out of EVERY person that has EVER proposed server consolidation... using a 2x4 with a nail in it.

Another thing to consider. Yes there are speculations of Nemesis and 5th Column. However didn't the devs promise us a new villain group to fight? I think they were called Battalion. I read that in an article somewhere months ago.

[/ QUOTE ]I'm still reading this, but "Battalion" was an 'alien force' that the Lineage of War helped the rikti fight about 100 years ago (according to the clue I just read right before reading your comment...)

Over the last 4ish days I've gotten about 5 spam tells (all on freedom, all during primetime). Each time I petitioned with the player name and global, and every time the player and global were different but matched (i.e. time one they were both aaaa, time two both bbbb, etc). Also all of them were from the pkpBLAH spammers (all the names started the same way, all of the messages were virtually the same, and in all they misspelled the domain name, which either means they're just idiots, or cryptic is already trying to filter them).

I think that its probably a safe bet that they're simply using the free trials to spam people. I think the free trial accounts should be massively rate throttled (for only tells, and maybe make it so that its tells to different people, i.e. so you can chat with a few friends, but you can't spam every person on freedom with your message).
