Quote:Actually, it was supposed to start last Sunday to sort of kick of AMC's Fearfest. It was postponed because they feared going up against the Vikings/Packers game.Originally Posted by Dark One
Starts tomorrow (Sunday, the 31st) on AMC @ 9pm Central with a repeat immediately following. If you have Dish Network, it's channel 130.
I am giddy, GIDDY! I say, for this show. From everything I've seen, they have not skimped on the gore. Starting on Halloween is pretty appropriate as well, I'd say. -
This pretty much sums up my feeling about waiting for new issues and such.

Quote:It's funny because I could swear there was a line that isn't there anymore. When I saw the original Star Wars 33 years ago, I remember seeing it in theaters a couple times. I could swear that the post trash compactor scene went like this:Originally Posted by Zekiran_Immortal

Seriously, that binocular scene is found in another clip linked there near the video shown above, and that was the one I recalled too, with the girl.
How much you want to bet that sometime in the next decade or so, for the (god) 40th anniversary of Star Wars (no new hope like Knightfox says too lol) he'll come out and admit that they were shown in theaters. It's so harsh to blanket the mistake they made - I mean, maybe they meant all the copies to be altered and didn't get edited? Or there was one master copy that wasn't edited, and released that way until they realized the mistake? It was all around the country too, so it may just have been a distribution error on their part, but still, it was THERE, and we SAW it, and we weren't HALLUCINATING.
Leia: Would somebody get this walking carpet out of my way?!
Chewbacca: Rowr
Han: No, Chewie. You can't rip her arms off.
Now I'm fairly certain that this is only a warped and incorrect memory from my youth, but I wonder now after reading things like this. And, like Ironik, I was watching in Dayton, Ohio too. Still am.
Oh, and what was with Luke's Gilligan hat? LOL -
I remember from way back in my youth, when the then titles Star Wars (no New Hope) came out and I was in a frenzy for any merchandise I could get. Or get my parents to buy me. I had tons of Star Wars trading cards. Each new batch had different color borders to identify them. I also had a book about the movie, geared towards kids, that had lots of photos. I remember quite well seeing stills of these lost scenes that were never in the movie. I was a kid and didn't know editorial cuts from cold cuts, but I always wondered why they weren't in the movie.
I remember too how my book referred to Darth Vader as a Dark Lord of the Sith, even though we'd never been told what the frak a Sith was at that point. -
I second the idea of tossing organic armor with skin into this pack. Then I'd actually buy it, I've been wanting those pieces ever since they were foolishly omitted from the mutant booster.

Quote:Love to get that cleavage for my characters too.Originally Posted by Angelxman81
Can we have this please? Even if cant go with some skirts.Those boots are awesome. Much better than the high tights we have now, (too "thight") and much better than high heels, those boots only look well on Lady Grey.
The shape of the belt is too awesome.

Quote:The only people who had off are students, teachers, banks and government workers. The vast majority of the U.S. works on Columbus Day.Originally Posted by DMystic
Sorry to hear about the timing for the Canadian folks, but in the States it was a great time to do it since we had a day off on Monday for Columbus day. Thus encouraging people to stay up late on sunday until the servers shut down for maintenance since they wouldn't have to go to work.
So from a States viewpoint it was perfect timing -
Quote:. Don't read too much into it or get your hopes too high. His first post specifically said "So in this thread, let's talk specifically about the possibility of reaching back into the COH archives and getting you those options. IF we decided to do that, what would be your top choices?". He even emphasized the IF, he didn't ever say when. It's still just spitballing and conjecture at this point.Originally Posted by Jophiel
Well, the conversation has moved from IF we should get NPC costumes to WHICH of the NPC costumes they're going to work on. I'd call that progress.
The clockwork key back piece is likely too "signature" and involves a back item which we cant have yet anyway.
CoT robes have long been discussed as to why we can't have them. -
Request threads in the past have borne little to no fruit, but I'll give it a whirl anyway. I take that what you mean by fiiting on the existing rig means no back pieces or leg attachments. My list is as follows:
More Praetorian Police pieces: uniforms, the chest/shoulder piece with badge in it
Seer boots
Carnies: boots, bustier, sash, mask
Resistance: the shoulder pads we didn't get
Sybil dresses: transparent and non
Banished Pantheon: shaman pieces (I've wanted a loincloth piece for some time)
Succubus boots and tattered costume
Fashion show pieces -
Quote:To my knowledge they never specified that we'd get that specific set, nor any other specific set. Nor that they'd be free in issues or whether we'd have to pony up extra ( most likely since it's been a year since the last free pieces other than animating tails). There was a lot of excitement when npc costumes were originally mentioned to be coming to us, and now the stipulations are coming out. I was already disappointed at what we got for Paragon Police pieces, I really wanted the uniform and the combo chest/shoulder piece with a badge in it. The first thing I look for in each expansion/issue (and many others, I'm sure) are the costume pieces. Any issue without them is a disappointment to me, we only get the auras as a concession due to them leaking out early.Originally Posted by TheJazMan
They never really mentioned if we actually get that NPC costume set...I assume it was said at a point and I missed it. Really liking that gear. -
The final video (4/4) cuts out right when they're discussing costume pieces.

Quote:If you're happy getting one free set a year and paying for the rest, more power to ya.Originally Posted by Zombie Man
Well, that can't be right, because, I have it on good authority that we haven't had new costumes in 10 years and will never get any new ones, and the ones we will get, we'll have to mortgage our house to buy them because Noble Savage is just a shill playing mind games with us as part of a larger plot on the part of the Devs to destroy the game that's keeping their families fed.
So, obviously, we'll never get new, free costumes again. -

Quote:It still doesn't mean they can't acknowledge that someone is gone, especially when the community was wondering if it were true. You can at least do that without going into details. This iron fist approach is rapidly eroding my patience.Originally Posted by FelicityBane
Three more words: Not our business.
We are not stakeholders, board members, fellow employees or management. It's not our concern. Sure, it's nice to know, but we don't have a RIGHT to know, and acting like this is 1984 because Paragon Studios is protecting itself AND its employees -- like any good company does -- is naive. -

Halloween > nov = i19 > dec = xmas event > jan/feb = i20?
And Jan/Feb seems early for something as hush hush as issue 20, my guess is closer to April closer to the next anniversary. -
Quote:Yet another example of this company hiding from controversy. The attitude that is building over there is causing me a great deal concern. I'm already disgusted that we seem to have to pay for costume pieces from here on, and the stone wall is getting old quick.Originally Posted by theOcho

Quote:That might be the case except for the fact that BAB was one of them, that speaks toward something else. But by all means, keep up your drumbeat of blindly extolling and supporting anything and everything that NCSoft does. I'm sure some simple minded folks with poor reasoning skills will be happy to dance along.Originally Posted by Nethergoat
more likely they're acting like any other game company that hires people to push out a major product then goes back to 'normal'.
And as noted, in this case 'normal' is still a much larger staff than we were used to in the Cryptic days.
But keep up your drumbeat of ceaseless negativity, I'm sure some dissatisfied folk with poor reasoning skills will be happy to dance along. -
Quote:Smells like backpedalling to me, especially after reading the bits Void Huntress quoted.Originally Posted by Noble Savage
Just for the record, what we've said publically is that the team has refocused and redoubled efforts on taking npc groups and creating commensurate player costume parts whenever technically possible (See: Resistance, Clockwork, and PPD). You'll see more of this in the future as well.
Converting older parts is certainly POSSIBLE, but it's not something we've commited to. -
Quote:Hadn't read of anybody experiencing this, but is explains why the left side of my girls heads are sticking through some hairstyles.Originally Posted by Carnifax_NA
Isn't this just the bug from last Tuesdays patch?
It's pretty widely documented in the Tech section that something screwy has happened to female head models, it looks like they've shifted off their origin points a bit and that's causing all of these clipping and floating problems. -
Quote:Thats what I've been hoping for for years! I was very perturbed that the Vanguard bits were held back until level 35, that's just weak. But then they give us the Enforcer bits from level 1, and I'm happy. They are suitable stand ins for the Vanguard armor until I get that far. Sadly they didn't continue this with the Vanguard weapons or the Roman pieces, lame. The only option for a Roman themed character is to either wait until a brief period once a year or level to 35 with a costume that in no way represents your character. Just not acceptable to me.Originally Posted by Electric-Knight
[Just chiming to share my view, all in fun]
Now... I actually think having unlockable costume stuffs in games is a good thing. However, I would go about it slightly differently, if I were (What I am not) in charge, hehe.
Just in that I would like to have unlockable costume bits that are more detailed, specific or perhaps a bit more jazzy than more generic versions of the same or similar items that are already available to the players.
As an example... Roman-type pieces: I would have maybe one set of costume pieces available for people who would like to make such a character from the beginning. Just some straight up, somewhat generic bronze-age armor pieces, roman helmet(s) and sandals and skirts and whatnot.
Then I would have more spiffy versions of these things as unlockables from the ITF and rewards such as that available in game as being good incentive for different styles of players to try things they may not have done otherwise. -

Quote:Wrong, there is evidence that you choose to ignore. The snow and firefly auras are specifically mentioned as being tied to an issue. The storm aura is menyptioned as being part of a"separate initiative". If it was meant for a future issue, he would likely have said so as he did for the other two. The carefully chosen word "initiative" is glaringly evident of a booster pack in the wake of the illconceived party pack. It was also the very first thing that came to my mind upon reading the post. And it seems that others arrived at the same conclusion.Originally Posted by Caligdoiel
LOL, Lothic. Did you slot Jump in your Conclusion power because DANG. That was quite a large assumption you just made there on no evidence at all.
