Agreed. Or even better, make both available?

Would love to see some various themed confetti style auras: hearts, flowers (not flower petals but say 70's hippie flowers in a rainbow of colors), rainbow confetti and streamers, etc.

Also some more varied themes for symbolic auras, similar to runes but a wider range of themes: mathematical (calculus and linear algebra symbols in a chalky font--similar to the vfx in /em calculate -- but less on a flat surface and more wrapping around the character), quizzical or puzzling symbols (stuff you can see in some of the older mind control vfx--like pound signs, question marks, swirling zagnuts, etc.), numbers (just numbers, maybe in a variety of fonts, 0-9), and inspired by the playing cards suggestion: the four western card suits (hearts, clubs, diamonds & spades).

Thank the Honey Badger for me. Happy to read this.


And great work fx team on the Autumn path aura! I've been hoping for an aura like this for some time now. *thumbs up* Would it be possible to get a version of this aura with butterflies? I'm serious. If not, could we get a plain butterfly aura then?

Pretty much this. ^ ^ ^ Except for my first week binge on several costume slots and some additional inventory space.

The aura is live and costs 120 ppoints. It has some nice animation to it and takes a wide range of colors. The "splash animation" from when you land a jump is perhaps the best. Definitely the most lush. Looks great in green.

Almost on top of the abandoned lab marker.

Isn't Time Manipulation on sale as well this week? (for Premiums, since it's a VIP granted powerset) If so, that's 4 sales out of 9 weeks of the Paragon store being open.

Agreed. Though the aura is *very* concept specific, it's a very solid implementation of it.

You heard it here first folks. Canine blast before carp melee.

I see what you did there.

Seeing a convergence of interests here between these ideas and the image Golden Girl posted recently of the new four legged rig canine from the new Halloween event (which Zwill has confirmed as a new rig and others have indicated may be part of the [wolf pet] non combat power):

True customization of alternate body forms activated by power type, including the tech and CC interface design to manage these options. This could open up the door for either a more general shape shifting AT or shape shifting powersets nested within existing ATs, complete with things like customizable wolf forms, etc. Just sayin'...

Sorry. Though these are the second and third most important questions in reference to canon characters... (And ones I fully support!)

..THE most important question still remains: when will players get functional underarm wings so Swan can get those rigid stand-ins replaced with the real thing?

Pass along to the powers that be: animated textures for character models as base skins, especially ones that conveyed bodies made of energy, gooey stuff, molten materials, starfire, galactic clusters, etc. is something I would run out and spend more $$$ on paragon points to pick up day one. Especially if they incorporated glow tech and if I could then layer things like dimensional chest details and belts from other costume sets over them.

But from your response, I get the idea this is not something you would be working directly on... but seriously pass the word along. And then suggest that they draft Chris Greggory to do these animated textures. What I'm suggesting are basically the skins that would turn characters into less-than-corporeal forces of nature. So an environmental artist would be a natural fit for the task!

Yeah. Was a bit of a "bwuh?" moment for me as well. Lots of cooks in the kitchen I suppose.

While I liked Part I, this mini arc felt like "say hello to my little deus ex machina!"

*shrug* At least the bad writing is worth an alignment merit.

Edit to add: Finding the cell phone was silly.

Also found the chained map, where you take chase, felt a bit hamfisted. Particularly because the legacy lab map didn't feel like the place for the Rulu-Shin to say "You have invaded our home." Really? You guys live in a clean room? Dressed like that?

I also wasn't sure if the Hamidon at the end was supposed to be a maw of Rularuu or it was just coincidence that I ended up in the Abyss. The map locations in the first arc made much more sense as scenery moving the plot along and capturing a unique feel for the arc. Where here it felt like someone trying to make the most of the library of pre-existing maps, not fully articulating what was repurposed and what was supposed to represent the original source material for the map. In other words, the conveyance of map choices felt like something one would expect of a more amateurish fanfic AE arc rather than a for sale Signature Story Arc.

But on the plus side: I did like seeing those Shadow Shard portals as a means of bouncing from map to map. Out of all the legacy features, always thought those were some of the best bits of environmental artwork in game!

And though I didn't really find the third chain of maps to be well executed, the first two maps worked fine from my perspective for the story. I liked the black sand version of the big caves map.
