Quote:This goes for me as well. Versatility is good. If "teammate only" powers were changed to be usable on the caster, even with reduced magnitude of effects, I would be MUCH more likely to play certain sets I've been avoiding (I'm looking at you, Empathy).Originally Posted by Zortel
My point is that by not avoiding team-support at the sake of solo-buffing powersets I'd be more likely to have a character I'd look for teams for, because I'd be thinking "If it's slow to get a team going I can still at least do some stuff by myself without lacking a lot of tools compared to other characters." -
I don't have too many that most people haven't heard of:
The standard "blend boots/gloves to tights' pattern":
In the Make-It-A-Feature category, using Jacket's short sleeves to "block out" the sleeves that come with a top, like so:
One that might be semi-original; how to get the Celestial Armor 2 gloves to be all the same color (or pretty darn close). With both colors the same, it looks like this:
Readjusted version:
Just move the secondary color to the left two places, and the shading will make it match to the primary color. This works for just about all the different rows of color, and makes these gloves much more usable, IMO.
Can't wait to see more neat costume tricks from y'all! -
One that surprised me...
My Elec/WP Brute.
Until I rolled her, I'd been playing mostly ranged characters (Corrs, Defs Contrs, occasional MM), and I had Alt-itis something awful. She cured it single-handedly by being so friggin' AWESOME that everything else felt too wimpy by comparison. I keep wondering why I don't see more Elec/WP Brutes around. Mine's been at 50 for several months now, and is still a blast to play (especially with the Mu PPP). -
My water blast character is a fountain that was magically brought to life. (water/time corr, with time powers colored to look like mist)

If you mean "epic" as "awesome", my Elec/WP/Mu Brute is so epic that she cured my alt-itis because all my other characters felt too wimpy to play. I love teaming with people who have asked for help with an EB, or AV, or Carnies, or whatever. There was one time someone was making a desperate last request for help with an EB before giving up (it seems his team had quit on him, saying it was impossible). He'd cleared the map up 'til the EB. With just the two of us, it took about 3-5 mins, maybe. I don't remember the details; it was an EB at the end of one of the Villain patron arcs, and I think the character I was helping was a stalker. In any event, I felt awesome for the rest of the day.
-
Full-body feathers for bird characters, please.
Maybe a feather crest head detail? And some not-bird-of-prey avian heads? (I wants a blue-jay toon!)
I'd also like to see some different hooves; goat/deer hooves and horse hooves.
Goat and deer heads would be interesting, as well (horns/antlers optional).
Power customization update suggestion:
Please, please, please give the sonic blast powerset the option to use the "music blast" animations that the Talons of Vengeance Sirens use! I have a songstress character who really really wants them. -
Quote:I do the same thing, although I'm less inclined to give characters backstory; I need good powers, a good costume, and a good name to play a character for more than 10 or 12 levels. Since I purchased all the costume slots that are available from the store, I usually spend some time designing a second and third costume for characters as soon as they get to Atlas Park or Mercy Isle. Sometimes, the costume I end up with doesn't quite fit the character. Sometimes, I start making a costume and it goes in a completely different direction than I thought it would. If I think it's good, but don't know what to use it for, I'll save it for later. Since "later" doesn't always arrive promptly, someone else might as well use what I come up with, in whole or in part.Originally Posted by Xenophage
ROFL well that wasn't the point of the thread but hell if you wanna that is cool by me, the reason I made it is cause i tend to have Hero/Villain ADD, the ones I keep require more then just a cool costume! have to enjoy the powers I chose and the story line I give them. This aside, when making a character I often conceptualize based on the costume so I make lots of them (especially on the beta ) as a result alot of really cool costumes I make just don't get used. I feel guilty... this thread eases that guilt :P
oh another batch will likely be released after cyber tech set comes out. -
I wanna play too!
Oh, Xeno?
Thanks for giving me an excuse to sit and make costumes for hours on end (I mean this either sincerely or sarcastically depending on how much free time I actually have that day). -

That's all I can think of, at the moment. -
If these ideas get implemented, I might actually have to read the contacts' dialogue again. Lately I've been shifting more towards Heroside, even though I started Villainside, but this'd make me move back for sure.
Bravo, Sam!
Also, as an idea, if Recluse is going to work on controlling existing Incarnates and making them into an army, he might want to do some of his initial experiments in an alternate dimension so that if something goes wrong, he doesn't have to worry too much about clean-up, which could be a substantial drain on his limited resources. All he'd have to do is close the portal to whichever empty dimension he'd used and move on to the next attempt. -
I managed to get "Fountain" on Infinity server. Normal water blast and time powers colored to look like mist. Waterfall back detail, of course.
Also, last time I checked, Watergate was still available (secret gov't experiment that's the center of a new scandal? super-powered corrupt politician?). I'd use it, but I've got too many characters to lvl as it is. -
Quote:For a hold for whips, maybe a sort-of in-place stun? Something like "you smacked them so hard they're still reeling from it"?Originally Posted by Thirty-Seven
Also, I see you noted holds and other "whiplatch" type powers. How exactly does that work? How would you be able to do additional attacks if your whip is holding an enemy? You can't very well attack AND hold a target with your whip.

anyway to see what we have in vault, when we are say at WW or BM? i forget sometimes what each char has stored. -
Quote:This goes for me as well.Originally Posted by Grouchybeast
I bought the first two extra enhancement trays pretty much right away, and they've been a QoL improvement I've found well worth the money. That said, two extra trays has been more than enough so far, so I don't see myself picking these up right away. Maybe if they're on sale some day.
-
They are usable for each character you have, along with the tailor tokens and other items in that tab.
-
To my surprise, I kinda agree with the OP on this one. I know that water is incredibly difficult to simulate correctly, and the devs got it pretty dang close, but it just doesn't quite look right to me. I can say 'close enough' and tolerate it, but it just doesn't flow or splash quite right to make me believe it's water.
Thank god for the re-coloring tool.

I didn't even know there WAS a limit on how many DM's you can send per day on Twitter.
Apparently there IS such as limit and they reached it. -
Well, they can't send any more DMs today. They said they'll keep going from where they left off on monday. I guess I'll just have to wait until then, then... /em waiting

Quote:And thanks devs for the steps you took to take much of the "spirit" out of that "discussion".Originally Posted by Doctor Roswell
Twelve minutes and counting since the window closed and I'm still waiting for my code!
This is a slap in the face!
(Sorry, I just realized that after all that... "spirited discussion" in the first 15 pages or so of this thread, I didn't remember seeing that phrase.) -
I managed to snag the name Fountain on Infinity. Concept: a fountain statue magically brought to life (water/time, with time colored to look like mist).
I also made a rather long list in the Infinity Name Exchange thread. Here are some of the better ones that are still available as far as I know:
De Nile (for an Egyptian, of course!)
Surfin' Bird (because the bird, bird, bird is the word)
Guyser (the misspelling is intentional; it's for a male character)
Rivulette (again intentional, this time for a female character)
Suds (a FF/Water defender, maybe?)
River Kwai (I'm thinking an asian water controller. bonus points of you catch the reference)
Dam Hero
Dam Villain (generic, but still...)
Main Stream (the bane of hipsters everywhere!)
Babbling Brook (probably for a female water blaster who WON'T SHUT UP!)
Hydrophone (probably for a water/sonic corr or def)
Hydroelectric
Hydrokinetic
Angelfish
Clown Fish
