[The 'Share your awesome bios' Thread!]

Surprisingly managed to snag the name 'Briton' on Excelsior. So made an alternate (alternate/alternate 😆) universe version of 'Britannic' there:

 

[Redside... Best side? Right??]

Actual lack of fighting heroes maybe? I often end up beating up *checks notes* villain groups. I feel more like the HR department for Arachnos than an actual supervillain. Time to break out (and expand the roster of) the Paragon Heroes and start sticking them in more CoV content.

[new costume parts request]

More elaborate but wrap around cape mantles, like Statesman's and Hero 1's, as a shoulder option would be cool.

 

[Focused Feedback: Epic / Ancillary Power Pools]

A little sadge that Laser Beam Eyes from Energy Mastery didn't get a buff, and/or even alternate animation customization options. Kinda feels lacking for such an iconic type power.

[[OPEN BETA] Patch Notes for January 19th, 2024 - Issue 27, Page 7 - Build 1]

Could we get a minimal FX version of Ablative Carapace and Parasitic Aura from Bio Armor pretty please. 🙂

[Feature Request: Minimal FX version of Ablative Carapace]

Would it be possible to have a Minimal FX version of Ablative Carapace? We currently have one for Hardened Carapace, and it'd be great for those who don't want the bio-armor shell look for that power. 🙂

[Liberty - represent]

Played on Liberty with an art based supergroup, mostly with my tanker Sovereign Hero, had quite a few good times there.

 

 

[Virtue Roll Call!]

Hey Virtue, mostly played my two tankers Megalithman and Sovereign-1 (oddly both Invuln/EM) back in the day.

[NCSOFT & Homecoming License Announcement]

Congratulations Homecoming Team, what a way to start the new year. 😁 🙌

[What's the smallest change to CoX that you really want?]

Wrap around cape/cloak mantles as an option for shoulders.

[CoX needs bigger balls]

As long as they're big red ones, sure.

 

 

[Post your best costume designs here!]

Since 'Excalibur' was also added to Katana this update, I decided to remake my original Titan Weapons character 'Hero King'. First character I made in CoH back in April 2004 was a King Arthur inspired hero. Who thought it'd take until 2022 to finally realise it properly. 😅

Bloody love this one! 😄

[Focused Feedback: Custom Weapon Expansion]

And broadsword Excalibur! (I know) 😛

[Focused Feedback: Sheathed Weapon System]

Ah, the eternal struggle of being a cape bearer... 😛

 

Joking aside, love this feature so far!

Try copying them over to brainstorm to see what happens -- it SHOULD finally be fixed.

 

It is indeed fixed! Thanks!!! 😄

For those asking, the reason only Assault Rifle got proliferated with new models is because I started with getting Assault Rifle's sheathed modes done, and ran face-first into the desync knee-firing rifle bug, which would happen on everyone using the sheathed ranged weapons.

That forced us to pause proliferating and adding sheathed stuff to Beam Rifle, Pulse Rifle, Archery, etc. until we squashed that FX bug, which ended up being a really nasty hard-coded child FX attachment logic problem. We got it squished, but by that time, Page 4 was nearly finished.

Expect new weapon models and sheathed display on the ranged weapon powersets next Page.

 

I've got a character bugged on live with that rifle knee firing bug, and no matter how many times I remade them it still kept happening, so I'm hopeful they'll finally be fixed with this update. 🙂

 

Also, if I may be cheeky, when do you think we'll get access to the broadsword version of Excalibur? 😄

[Epic Pool Blasts]

Wouldn't mind if they gave us Tyrant's version of Laser Beam Eyes! 😁 Still, would be nice for the "epic" pools to get a once over numbers wise.

[Bios]

I'd definitely seen plenty of it back on Virtue server on live.

[What's missing in the character creator?]

Wrap around cape/cloak mantles (Statesman/Hero 1-like) for shoulders.

[Any teaser what is being worked on?]

I mean you have a selection of national flag chest emblems and capes in Champions, I don't think it'd be much of a problem in CoH. But really all I'd like is wrap around cape mantles (like Hero 1's) as an option for shoulders, that'd open up plenty more costuming ideas.

My main, The TK Cavalier. Or Patriotic Hero 187 since there's loads running around. 🙃

 

 

I posted an old pic of him in this thread one or two years ago but these are much improved imo.

 

So love your use of that helmet for the Union Flag, such an inspired choice. 🙂

[Ideas for New Unique IOs]

Wouldn't mind some signature hero/villain themed ones, like an 'Aid from the Fae' IO set from Hero 1 for example.

It’d be nice to see Statesman there in some capacity. Harks back to game’s origins.

 

And now that I think about it, there really should be more BaB stuff early, too, especially as the lowbie baddies feature gangs and drugs.  Instead, he gets shut out of the Lords of Death arc because Deadlock kicks his face in (the idea being, I guess, that BaB would just shut down the Petrovic Bros himself if he were hale and hardy). 

 

 

Yeah, wouldn't mind seeing some of the early story arc missions have heroes accompany you like the Praetorian ones do with various NPCs. BaB actually getting involved with the Lords of Death, and maybe Statesman with the Mathew Habashy arc too, since it involves Arachnos infiltrating Atlas Park. At least one arc in each zone there's a hero trainer should involve that signature character directly.
