    Ascension Armor

    So I showed some screenshots to one of my buddies that no longer plays CoH:

    Vangaurdian: wtf
    Vangaurdian: is that city of heroes

    bAss ackwards: Yeah

    Vangaurdian: that looks crazy
    Vangaurdian: I have never seen a cooler looking CoH character ever
    Vangaurdian: don't think its possible to look more badass than that

    bAss ackwards: Hahah
    Developers, job well done on the Ascended Armor!

    You mean style, as in playstyle. Which is the biggest reason I pick Scrapper over Brute.
  • Does 3DS Max not have something similar to a Lattice Deformer? Could quickly modify the costume geometry to go from the base model (Male) to the others (Female and Huge) and then paint skin weights from there. Wouldn't be modifying the texture UVs so you wouldn't have to do any work there.

    Not giving Females or Males/Huge a certain texture is just plain stupid. That requires less work than giving other body types gender-specific costume pieces. My Female Shadow Knight can use the High Collar Cape with Plain, Arcane, and all the rest but for some reason Occult was restricted to Male/Huge characters. What?

    That stinks. >_<
    I need those coats for a few of my characters.

    Future options. So the stuff that players want brought over to Male or Female characters from the previous packs are a no go, huh? Disappointing.

    Anybody else care to try their hand at Ascending their character(s)?

    More APP proliferation would be great, but I'd rather have Primary/Secondary set proliferation first if I had to choose between the two.

    You keep on trying to derail my efforts. Cut it out!

    Joking aside, Ice Armor is more likely because only 1 power would need replacing: Hibernate. Ninjitsu would need Hide and Caltrops replaced. But that's not to say I'm not clamoring for Ninjitsu to be proliferated over either.

    User Interface
    • The Email UI has been split into separate Inbox, Certification, and Voucher tabs.
    • Removed the “From” column from the Certification and Voucher display.
    • Certification and Voucher display names will now simply be the name of the item instead of "Certification:" and "Voucher:"
    • Added a Claim All Certifications button to the new Certification tab. This will automatically iterate through and claim all your valid certifications on a given character.
    • Certifications or Vouchers which are claimed are now automatically removed from the list.
    • Certifications or Vouchers which cannot be claimed on the current character will not appear in the list by default and will not cause the email notification to appear. (Note this means if you buy a reward on a character which cannot claim it you will not see it appear in the UI by default.)
    Astral and Empyrean Merit Vendors:
    • Alpha Slot, Cape, and Aura Unlock Vouchers are now 5 Astrals apiece.
    • Chest Emblems are now all 1 Astral apiece.
    • Ascension Armor pieces are all now 10 Astrals or 3 Empyreans apiece.
    • Ascension Radiance Armor pieces are all now 6 Empyreans apiece.
    • Emotes are now all 10 Astrals or 2 Empyreans apiece.
    • Costume Change Emotes are now all 3 Empyreans apiece.
    • Auras are now all 10 Astrals or 2 Empyreans apiece.
    • Path Auras are now all 3 Empyreans apiece.
    • The Incarnate Thread Voucher for 1 Astral now grants 4 Threads when claimed.
    • The Incarnate Thread Voucher for 1 Empyrean now grants 18 Threads when claimed.

    The next beta build will contain this and other changes in regards to feedback and bugs discovered in other areas, but I wanted to make sure you all were aware of these pending changes such that you could base your feedback bearing this in mind.

    Thanks again to everyone for participating in the beta,
    Your bud in the high-powered armor,

    I've made the character less squishy and now she has perma-Status protection. Plus, the animations look great! Oh hell yes!

  • That new Ice Path Aura would be awesome with an Ice Scrapper.
  • I'd definitely be IO'ing out my Spines/Ice and then proceeding to get the Incarnate T4's.

  • Thanks for the update! I'm looking forward to those changes.
  • I think I would play Ice Melee with Shield Defense. It'd be nice if Frozen Aura is set to 15' radius!

    Ice Armor, I'm thinking could really help mitigate Endurance issues with Primaries, such as Quills from the Spines set, and has a lot of synergy with said set too! The kind of debuffing you'd be putting out would be debilitating and a brand new way of "damage mitigation" for Scrappers. It would be a pure joy for me. Especially since Icicles, the Damage Aura has the exact stats as Death Shroud. Two Damage Auras with a Defense set? YES PLEASE!

    I know it'll be much much later. Player requests that suddenly get brought to their attention usually go down that path.

    ... even though I've been asking for Ice Armor for Scrappers for a while now.
  • I want stuff from the Magic Pack that are Male only!
    Occult Textures
    What? Female characters are barred from the occult? I think not!


    Shadow Knight really needs those Occult textures!


    Baron Sleeves and Boots
    Why the hell can't Females have some nice folded over sleeves and boots too?



    Skull Mask
    A skull mask, perfect for voodoo characters like DM/SD Scrapper. Can't have it. Why?


    It would be perfect on her!
