better, longer, thicker hair. see: http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showthread.php?t=287890




and you know... frickin quivers. i do not need any sort of animation on them whatsoever just port the dang things already.

thanks
p.s. I LOVE YOU DINK!!!!!!

now that i think of it, i can not for the life of me remember how i was introduced to the game...



i know that i redeemed my code right after CoV was launched.

i know that i'd had my box of CoH purchased and waiting on my desk for a wicked long time until i had a computer that could run it and internets. months.

i know that before i saved up to buy it i saw it on shelves in the store and would longingly stare at the back of the box.

i know that before i bought it i had a game called "freedom force" that i couldnt figure out so stopped playing.

there must have been something though, to make me want to play the game beyond the box. and i dont think it was a commercial on the tele because i didnt recognize the one from the link posted earlier in this thread... and i wasnt a big internet/computer user. and i have a STRONG feeling that i was excited about the game right before it was released, then super sad when it was released but i didnt have internet/was broke so had to wait before i could buy it then stare at the box til i could play it...


hmmmmmm

:shrug: oh well

like has been said a lot already, i like 1 more than 2 mostly because 2's the game loading screen for i23, but really dont like either.

not a fan of penny, but the devs sure seem to be.

i like shadow hunter, but he's not significant enough to be on the forums as a constant.

i really hope if the forums background and load screen changes, it changes with every issue from now on.

this is a fantastic idea!!!!

a giant tree-vine-armored natural behemoth is an option, or a skeletal/zomboid/tumor-growth creature is another

WHOA hahaha, well a friend of mine recently blew my mind with something that i hadnt known since i started playing when villains launched. but now i cant remember what it was...

though i found out recently, you can auto-target a teammate. but i forgot how to do that too :/

crud, what was it?!?!? gah...

oh, when you click a character you can find out their local name, or add a note about the character, and it also saves their name so you know what other characters they've played. makes you realize it's a small world sometimes XD

when the phoenix wings and tail came out, i appreciated the cool look but was angry that, at least for my characters, they didnt move [or even fold when not flying] so i decided i'd never use them. [also because the only bird-tail we got was great shape but not actual feathers]

then i was playing with the celestial wings tinted black black and was annoyed that they would leave a faint trail when i flew, and while in the tailor i accidentally hit the phoenix wings while still tinted black...

and i love it. it's subtle and atmospheric, and the tail is great too, when all three are tinted black, and they dont leave a faint shadowy trail like the other energy wings. paired with my cryogenic aura, i'd say it's just about perfect.

:squeal:

idk if anyones asked yet but would it be possible to have it load with an image of our own character? [probably as a pic saved on our phone?] :shrug:

good examples of non-alternate-dimension-invasion-war interesting story lines can be found just about everywhere.

-take the ancient relic of great evil power to the volcano to be destroyed before the currently subdued villain becomes all powerful.

-current powerful and front-running heroes [phalanx] or villains [arachnos] are mind controlled by a small but smart and lucky hero/villain and is making said heroes/villains do horrible atrocities/good deeds. stop them.

-NATURAL DISASTERS

-assassinations

-clones

-other mythologies besides greco-roman

-time travel to history [besides greco-roman... like DINOSAURS, old wild western america, the battle of the gods Tielekku, Ermeeth, Hequat, etc.]

i would really like the function of designing your own arch-nemesis actually... but that's wicked complicated

-and the LOADS of other groups in-game already with their complex histories and what not.





some of this though was explained as "our new writers have good ideas and want to make new stuff and dont want to work on the old stuff" to which i say "then make your own MMO from scratch. :/" new ideas are great but the game has so mcuh great old content to start from too, that really shouldnt be forgotten and left to die then be deleted.

OH MY GOD THIS IS AMAZING i cant wait

:SQUEAL:

Silver Cyclone: A Wind Knight of the Order of the Four Winds, and Mantle Bearer. He has a very serious personality, or at least tries to pretend that he is. [In reality he's a total goof ball and though he wants to appear as very serious and worthy of the great power bestowed upon him, he's still young and cant help trying to make people laugh, or finding pleasure in the tiniest things.] his stamp is a tiny Zigzag tornado

please ignore the villains :P

Mother Mayhem during the BAF cutscene where one of the many cape-flaps of her trenchcoat gratuitously flashes the viewers her bum in a thong [or "thong-backed" outfit if you prefer that description] for an extended period of time.


mother mayhem in her thong by babydavidj, on Flickr

wikipedia:

"The back of the garment typically consists of a thin waistband and a thin strip of material, designed to be worn between the buttocks, that connects the middle of the waistband with the bottom front of the garment. It is also used as a descriptive term in other types of garment, such as a bodysuit, bodystocking, leotard or onepiece swimsuit in the context, "thong backed.""

so to me, same difference. tomato tomato. definitely not a catch-all term like top or pants, but specific like tank-top or capri-pants...

not that i think they need to cover her up or anything XD i just think the objectification and double standards should be noted. i think the only reason shadowhunter is so scantily clad is because he is so beastly and therefore, still kinda not really 'male'.

but this all might fit in other threads i guess, i was just following up with my earlier posts... hooray for new loading screens!

I'd go with Necro/Storm/Soul personally, and theme the pets [respec out of the lowerst zombies at a higher level] as corpses of this realm who worshiped and devoted their souls to me and i 'blessed' them with eternal ressurections and ghastly powers, and as a female you could have deceptively tricked them with your wiles. you can make the key powers wicked powerful with the right procs, and color the storm powers to look dark and fantastic.

now im gonna go play my guy of this mix now, actually. gah its so good.


:EDIT: if you really need help building an uber MM, Guyperfect and Plainguy have both posted great builds on the forums.
