  1. I updated Plutonic Friend's boots to match her gloves... If only there were a way to do thigh high boots with those retro rings like I was able to with the fashionable long gloves and shoulder option for arm rings.
  2. Let me guess... he makes the Earth move for the person(s) he's with.
  3. I'd like the hearts effect from the Valentine's Day Arrow of Romance temp power as an aura option.
  4. Well, she isn't actually powered by plutonium. That's just intended to be punny... plutonic instead of platonic, with a bunch of undead guys following her around with no hope of romance between them.
  5. You have to use the Jester pattern on top of the Jester top to get the second color.
  6. I went with blue because science. Green radiation is a common trope made popular by the Hulk, but in actuality radioactivity would lean more toward pale blue. https://www.mentalfloss.com/article/541196/where-did-myth-radiation-glows-green-come#:~:text=Even without the phosphor%2C pure,that of an electric arc.
  7. That sounds like something that should be a goal for the Rogue Isles.
  8. Well, as I said... the timing of the event sucks. If it has to start at the end of November, then maybe it should be longer.
  9. Not necessarily longer... but start at a different time, maybe. I'm saying longer into January, but if the event started later it could still maintain a roughly one month duration.
  10. If I were asking for a scientifically accurate model, I'd be asking for them to stretch it out until the beginning of March. Next time don't read more into what I'm saying than what I'm actually saying. Also, don't tell me how to express myself. You complain about things your way and I'll complain my way.
  11. Screw it, I want animations and attacks they're attached to to be completely separate entities that you choose independently... For example: Warmace animations + Electric Melee... I promise not to make Marvel's Thor. Honest! Water Blast animations + Poison effects... Sewage Boy is coming for you. Quarterstaff animations + Fire Blast ranged attacks... Let Firestaff be a thing!! That sort of thing. A pipe dream, I know...
  12. Not even remotely what my feedback was about.
  13. Then it started much too soon. First day of winter was December 21, which was on a Tuesday (the day updates occur). The winter event began on November 30th, three weeks before the start of winter. If you don't want to change the length of the event and the event is not about the holidays but rather Winter itself, then maybe start it two weeks later and leave it running into January for two weeks longer. Either way, I stand by my original assessment that the timing of this event sucks.
  14. Just goofing around this morning with radiation puns and came up with this one... Plutonic Friend Necromancy / Radiation Emission Mastermind . Because raising the dead doesn't have to look dark and dreary.
  15. Can we stop calling the month of December the "winter" event? It's obviously a Christmas event with the very subtle decorations and themes that can be found in the ski chalet and winter forest... But even if you can't (or won't) call it what it really is because you don't want to risk offending someone who doesn't celebrate that holiday, my issue is this: the event begins a couple of weeks in advance of the actual start of winter and ends the first Tuesday after the new year has begun. Then it's back to 10 months of tedium of the city looking like a static snapshot but with a month long break from that during October. But winter has only just begun, and will extend through January and is usually coldest around February. Why must the snow go away? If it were a blight on every zone in the game, I could understand some people being sick of it and wanting to be rid of it ASAP... but it's really only in Atlas Park. Can't we stretch it out a little longer next year? Maybe don't start it at the beginning of December... maybe wait to the middle of the month with that pre-winter scene change we get in the fall and then let Winter last later into January? The timing has ALWAYS sucked. But you have the power to fix it and just keep delivering more of the same.
  16. Edna Mode is a joke whose punchline exists primarily to gloss over problems the animators had at the time.
  17. Some of my older holiday costumes, which I've previously posted in the Post Your Best Designs thread: Moondrop - Mind/Kinetic Controller Brown Mouse - Kinetic/Willpower Stalker Witchbrand - Empathy/Dark Defender Triggerstorm - Dual Pistols/Storm Corruptor Panty Party - Kinetic/Ninjitsu Scrapper Holiday specific villain, Horror Claus - Dark/Dark Controller Another villain created for the season... Satan's Lil Helper - a Fire/Fire Blaster Lucky 7 - Staff/Super Reflexes Scrapper Cherry Popper - Energy/Bio Armor Stalker Miss Cricket - Martial Arts/Willpower Scrapper The Pizza Man - Gravity/Martial Dominator Christmas Magic - Robotics/Thermal Mastermind Preeminence - Archery/Tactical Blaster Long Cool Woman - Mind/Cold Controller And finally, my Christmas-powered mutant, X-Miss - Electric/Empathy Controller
  18. I feel like this is a wasted opportunity. Some enterprising HC developer should put up some walls inside and put a unique contact in here for those determined enough to get there. Give him/her a backstory and a short mission arc about trying to bring the gas station back home. Of course, the attendant refuses to abandon the gas station because of company loyalty or whatever, and since it is a permanent fixture in the Pocket D map, all you can really accomplish in his mission after fighting through whatever craziness is to get a message to someone back home that the attendant is still on the clock and expecting full back pay with overtime when he finally does get home.
  19. Add something to the name is also an option. I had a mind/ice dominator back on Live that I wanted to name Brainfreeze. It was taken, so I tried various variants that wouldn't bother me: Brainfreezer, Brain-Freeze, Freezebrain... I refused to go the route of .Brainfreeze or xX Brainfreeze Xx because I just can't get into a character with that anymore than I can blatant misspellings like Branefreeze or Brainfreaze or whatever. I ended up with Prof. Brainfreeze. Baron, Captain, Lord, Mister, and Sir are also good titles to shove in front of a name. And I'm sure there are plenty of others.
  20. What about the name Cold Cuts (or Coldcuts)?
  21. I played the game on Live since Issue 1 (took a break between Issue 8 and 10) all the way up to sunset. I came back to Paragon City here on Homecoming when they were running just one server (Torchbearer) with very long waits in the queue to even get into the character select screen... and I will tell you this: I hesitate and often shy away from announcements of teams forming for alphabet soup. I don't know what MoMAG is because there is so much content that I don't want to have to figure out what someone is referring to by whatever the commonly used acronyms or abbreviations are. If I see it over and over because they're having a difficult time getting enough people to join, I might ask what those letters mean... but generally I'm turned off by open calls for teams, Task/Strike Forces, trials, and whatever without knowing what they are. Should I learn what those things mean? Maybe... or maybe they should take the time to type out 2 or 3 full words to eliminate confusion. Someone says "Maria Jenkins missions LFM" and I know immediately what they're doing and want in. Cavern of Transcendence? I'm in. Give me an acronym and I'm just going to tune you out.
  22. Am I the only one who thinks we're long overdue for new NPC content? On the blue side, we've lost Statesman and Sister Psyche. On the red side, the core AVs of Arachnos were already fairly slim pickings with the main boss and 4 subordinates. But beyond that, when running bank missions, it's always the same 2 heroes (in Mayhem missions) and 2 villains (in Safeguard missions) appropriate to the mission level. We had the addition of Foreshadow and Mirror Spirit with the addition of the Hollows and revamp of Faultline, as well as Rose Star & Spark Blade to the game lore even though they were never added to the game... and there's Faultline and Fusionette who show up in various places, which is the kind of thing I like seeing. The Shining Stars (Twinshot, Proton, Flambeaux, and Dillo) are another example of this. You can find them hanging out in the world and they have their own story arc to play through... would be nice if more than Flambeaux made appearances in the low level Safeguard missions. I'd love to see additions to the Paragon Heroes group that shows up in Mayhem missions and Rogue Isle Villains that show up in Safeguard missions. In a city full of heroes (and the isles full of up and coming villains), I think it would be nice to see a little more diversity. Why not make a contest of it? Let players submit their ideas perhaps in a small map AE mission so they can not only be seen in costume but with their chosen powers in action, as well as character bio when you right click on them... or, if that's too much, then maybe screen shots with costume file attached, along with a description that includes selected powersets and a short bio. With the level ranges split into 9 categories, doubled for hero and villain, that's 18 total "winners" to choose... if it's not too much trouble to add new characters to the Paragon Heroes and Rogue Isle Villains, maybe even pick 2 winners for each alignment and level range for a total of 36 winners. Possibly create a new badge for the winners symbolizing their contribution to the game content, throw them some bonus merits or some other nice award (custom title, one of your fancy new enhancements, or whatever), and boom you've got new content and player participation to make everyone feel good about it.
  23. New Day Job: Santa's Helper Day Job Location: Winter Forest Effect: I don't know... maybe improve chances of being "Nice" when opening Christmas presents, or maybe just a bonus of candy canes when the time goal spent in that location is reached. Something like 1 or 2 candy canes for every 21 days spent logged out there. That would be like 17 or 34 free candy canes... sure, let's call Santa cheap. It wouldn't be much of a head start on candy cane collecting when the holiday event begins, but it would be a fun badge to include.
