Edit: I've got to get better at screenshotting! Why do my characters and everything look great, sharp and crisp, then I go to upload and they look fuzzy?
Here's a couple of characters I'm proud to showoff 🙂
Axeslinger
Paragon City FD's newest fire-fighter technology was, well supposed to be the PCFD FF 1.0. Able to survive extreme conditions, equipped with a myriad of sensors for locating survivors, PCFD FF 1.0 was the pinnacle of fire fighting technology. I say "was" because apparently all it takes is a single electrical short for the AI to go haywire. Now calling itself the "Axeslinger", this fire-fighting mech fancies itself Paragon City's newest superhero, sigh. Good luck with your newest AI, axe wielding superhero Paragon!
Ol Razzle Dazzle
Step right up and see the wonders of this gifted magician! Where does he get these powers, is he even from our world, our solar system, our dimension?! Are these funny parlor tricks or reality bending wonders? Time to give 'em the Ol Razzle Dazzle!

I know mechanically this isn't an easy one, but here goes: Spectrum skin color.
Idea: at the top of the skin color selection screen there would be a checkbox for "Spectrum", if you select that box you get Spectrum color skin and the skin colors are replaced with the normal color selection. -
I’m not as well versed in the game’s mechanics to say it as good as Dispari, but excellent work there and I pray you are listened to.

Ugh.
I know a lot of people on the forums were bemoaning tanks overtaking brutes. A few years ago it was brutes overtaking tanks.
I really don't like all of these changes to powers and ATs and critters that we have played with for years, sometimes decades. Make new stuff as different as you like but please leave the old stuff alone. Please? Pretty please?
Agreed on this. Seems like a pretty severe reaction to Tanks finally becoming more popular. I'm really hoping most of these changes don't make it through as they're being tested currently, they're a huge step in the wrong direction in my opinion.

Regarding the discussion about Tanks at high level being less necessary; in my experience having a good Tanker on any team makes everything go smoother.

Since well before Live servers shutdown my main Lightslinger, Energy/Energy Blaster could peel aggro off Tankers. I don't think it's a Homecoming specific thing. And even if an extra group gets tagged, the minions and lieutenants should be defeated almost instantly, allowing the Tanker to reestablish aggro.
As for keeping all the aggro off the squishies, if they're attacking or buffing/debuffing, at least a little aggro will always go their way.

I've already got the classic Shivan hologram for my friendly neighborhood Shivan Globert, but I'd love the option to also buy a Neo-Shivan hologram. They're so cool looking, and it would be a bonus if we could have the different color options as well.

Absolutely loving X-Men 97 so far, amazing what they've accomplished.
I'm hoping they're using this as a blueprint for how to use mutants in the MCU.

That's what's great about it!
I've found that engaging the person and bringing up infringment just leads to childish outburts, so I do this instead.You should just get yourself a macro for /getglobalname $target

Some of us even chat you to say 'kewl costume' just to get your character name, global name, and petition you for harrassment/conduct - specifically to get you in front of the GMs...
Ugh, I send "Awesome look" or "Cool costume!" tells all the time when I pass by a great looking character, I hope this idea doesn't spread and people think I'm reporting them.

I recommend Combat Teleport (with Macros) to support the Atomic Blapping/PBAoE. It should be possible to build up a fun sort of synergy with the knockback of the Energy primary with the close-combat of Atomic.
Ooh, never done that before and it sounds super fun, I'll give that a shot thanks.

I agree Tidge, he's already my main and my first character rolled up here at Homecoming. I'll take some blapping, sure. I appreciate the insight, very informative.

Hello blaster friends! Needing some help building out my main, Lightslinger. Energy/Atomic, prefer ranged fighting and flying almost always except for Nova time. Durable as can be without crippling damage, required powers are Hover, Flight, and Evasive Maneuvers.
Build and advice are much appreciated, thanks in advance!
Update: forgot to include, need KB-KD in pretty much all KB powers. I know I know, energy blast is what the original Lightslinger was so I stuck with it, but not a fan of KB.

Agreed, mission waypoints for Tinpex feels pretty borked at the moment.

This has always kept me from using lighter colors, especially for masks. I'd love to see this change!

This is great, thanks for the help Sovera!

Wonky sounds fun, Sovera. I'm good with either but using Storm Kick's defense sounds great.

Build gurus I beseech thee! I know enough about Mids Reborn to load up and follow someone else's builds, but when it comes to the actual building part, yikes.
My Rad/MA Tank Missile Man flies around with a, you guess it, missile strapped to his back. Hover, Fly, and Evasive Maneuvers is important for him.
All other powers are on or off the table as needed, I'd like him to be the tankiest tank a Rad/MA hover kicking tank can be. Extra movement speed/flight speed where possible helps out a lot. Appreciate the help in advance, any other questions let me know.

Cosmic Corsair Backpack Option 3, Neck Ring Only:
-Right now we have the ability to have the big ole back skull + neck ring OR big ole back skull only. The neck ring on this costume item is so slick and would work with a LOT of characters. I'd love to see it offered as neck ring only, perhaps as a Cosmic Corsair 3 option still in Backpacks or moved to Head Detail 2 if needed.

Appreciate the help everyone, sticking with the original name of Missile Man!
Here's another character of mine, Praetor Paragon. Goal was to use the laurel headpiece for a regal, Roman, yet modern superhero look,. Praetor Paragon is a Shield/Electric Tank.

Got a new character and need some name help from my fellow costume/character concept enthusiasts: hyphen or no hyphen?!
Introducing: Missile Man
Bio: Back in 1940s I was just your regular, run of the mill enlisted. During my first combat mission something changed, I was super-charged with electricity and pretty dang invulnerable. So the US government did what you did to "mutants" like that in the mid-20th century, strap a missile to 'em and see how it works out. Worked out alright for me, watch out for the Missile Man, comin' in hot!
Question is, does this character name + concept work better as Missile Man or Missile-Man? Right now he's Missile Man, but I keep thinking maybe it would look better with the hyphen, but I'm not sold on it yet.

New Costume Pieces Request
in Art & Multimedia
Posted · Edited by Lightslinger
In a limited way yes, but here's a couple of things I'd like to do with a Skin Spectrum option:
-the ability to put patterns over Spectrum (ie: choose bare chest option under chest, it shows your spectrum color skin, then apply a pattern over. Would give you the ability to create a Dr. Manhatten wearing speedos look. I'm not saying we all need speedos, but that's the idea of the look I'm picturing, ha!
-allow costume items that have a skin option, like the Barbarian Iron->Skin under gloves, you'd get your spectrum skin under that bracer instead of a regular skin color.
