It's also doubtful that Test will be available much longer; Issue 16 closed beta is coming up.

You coudl increase the size of the post box even on the old forumsQuote:Originally Posted by Nethergoat
I'm excited that replying to a message opens up a REAL text editing space, instead of a postage-stamp sized quadrant requiring constant and annoying scrolling for any post longer than a couple of lines.
Another thing I like is that quotes are now attributed by name. I can actually keep track of who is saying what. -
Quote:Rather like CoV; they still have the blue walls, but they don't show up until you are quite close.Originally Posted by Chan_
I don't even care about a seamless world, I'd just love if they'd get rid of those god awful war walls and just replace them with invisible boundaries. They're so obnoxious and I hate how I can see them off in the horizon no matter where I go. I mean there ARE buildings behind them so it's not like it'd look odd with no signs of life past the zone limits.
One can argue/RP that without the walls they'd be able to do so continuously rather than in intermittent raids. There's also the problem of coming up with a reason for Paragon to pay to remove the things.Quote:Originally Posted by Chan_
They don't even serve a RP purpose seeing as how the Rikti power them down whenever they want to take a stroll through the city anyhow. -

Quote:Since that would give us Americans 2-4 ( depending on language difficulties ) and you EU folk 11 servers worth of free character slots I'd go for that.Originally Posted by ArcticFahx
To be perfectly frank, I wouldn't mind all you crazy European types coming over to our humble servers. But not as a server merge, but a client merge. Basically, adding the 4 Euro servers to the same list us US players can pick, and adding the 11 US servers to the same list you Europeans can pick from.

Quote:It is in game; so is "nippy". As in "It's a little nippy out here today", which is how I found out when someone was discussing their local weather. I thought the censoring had to do with anatomy and not race though.Originally Posted by Zloth
Wait, nip is banned? I haven't heard that used in a derogatory sense over here in a few decades! Isn't it a holdover from World War 2 or some such?
Well, the preview let's me say it, let's see what happens when I post....
One of my favorite "words" banned in-game though is B5, which to an American sci-fi fan like myself means Babylon 5. -

One odd bug I've noticed; sometimes when I try to use the spellchecker the forum pops me out of spellchecking mode spontaneously.
Quote:No; click quote or New Reply at the bottom of the post/page. Also, you may need to set your "Message Editor Interface" options in the User CP. I chose the second option, Standard Editor, but it was defaulted to Basic Editor.Originally Posted by SerialBeggar

Quote:It means that there was a name conflict, and there's someone else named Umber_EU.Originally Posted by Umber_NA
I'm wondering about the "_NA" added to both our names, I'm assuming thats a North America modifier as I've seen a few "_EU" floating around as well.

I selected the villain colors and got the reddish look again.
I do like the new posting box; now I can see my whole post at once. I selected the middle option on that. -

Or reading the right comics. There WAS a supervillain with a crotch mounted gun . . . -

? Haven't heard that one since I haven't done a raid in a long time.

I believe that capability was added back when they revamped the Hamidon Raids in Issue 9. -

I am hoping for mix and matching.
[/ QUOTE ]
As am I.
Any word on it yet?
[/ QUOTE ]
Yes, from the people who got a look at it at the Comics Con. You can mix and match; you can choose each animation for each power, and they can be different from costume slot to costume slot. -

Did you notice how dark or rocky looking all the colors available for Stone Armor are? Or how crystalline light the ice power's palate is? Thankfully no Yellow Snowman! People can now make their much desired green lantern clones but I have the feeling that these color palates are the last bastion of the customization control philosophy.
[/ QUOTE ]
Considering they aren't out yet, no - no one has noticed these things.
[/ QUOTE ]
Actually, pictures are available in the Color Customization and Comic Con threads. And there's some videos here.
As far as the limitations of colors for Ice, BaBs said it's because the off limits colors make them look like "cartoon gemstones". -
[ QUOTE ]
Yep would of loved therm and fire but instead we get Traps and AR??? whats up with that.
[/ QUOTE ]
I expect that it's because they are a thematic pair, just like tanks and scrappers getting both Elec armor and Elec melee. -

[ QUOTE ]
We want ice to look like 'ice' and because of how the FX were created when you apply a very saturated, non-cool hue to them they no longer look like ice and instead look like a cartoonish jewel.
[/ QUOTE ]
That's precisely what I was wanting to be honest, and probably the only way I could really bring myself to play an Ice/blaster. I'd love to have a character who has power over minerals like an earth tanker but rather lets it take the form of crystal. Ruby gem shield + Ruby encrusted fists = Good theme. As is... the gem shield is pretty poorly mis-matched with whatever you pair it with. It just doesn't have a good thematic pair.
[/ QUOTE ]
I also want something like that and was looking forward to it. If the problem is that by "cartoonish gemstones" BaB means that they look ugly, as opposed to just looking like gemstones that's another thing. In that case - if the animations are the problem, perhaps that would be a good candidate for future alternate animations for Ice ? Jewel style animations that look like the Gem Shield ? -

I've made assumptions that I hope are true. Must have red/orange dark melee and red/black willpower!

srmalloy linked some pictures over in the Color Customization thread, here's one of Tenebrous Tentacles, and another of Moonbeam. -

...Now if I could only get them to answer my question about custom animation (MA and SS) and if those can be set differently for each costume slot. Like how color customization works.
[/ QUOTE ]
To be fair Posi was in transit yesterday, and BaBs was still on duty at the con.
Given that it is set through the same interface as colour which do vary by slot, it seems likely that it will be the case.
[/ QUOTE ]
It's confirmed over in the Color Customization thread that it works that way. -

There's also Scirocco for Power Sink.

if you need power sink on a Ice/Cold Corr, then you're doing something terribly wrong.

Oops; I forgot that it has it's own endurance recovery power. -
The ground punch is great; one of the things I was hoping for.
