Starhammer

Malta also strikes me as if they're more appropriate to espionage storytelling. Sure, the firefights are the stuff of action movies, but I could see them fitting in better with the sneaky stuff than Blackwing does.

So FWIW, I enjoyed it. I like that it's more crime story than super hero. Obviously it has supers, but the balance is more toward street level crime. It's nice to see that outside the Netflix shows. They all had the same flavor more or less. This was that topic, but something else. I liked that it showed characters with "woke" mindsets without the show itself beating me over the head with a woke agenda. I loved that it showed a protagonist making flawed decisions (Frankly she's more like Tony Stark in that regard than from building a suit of powered armor). I like that the side characters seemed real (or at least as realistic as is reasonable for the setting), and not just like caricatures of stereotypes. I think it's unfortunate that some detractors try to focus on quotes like "Would Tony Stark even be Tony Stark if he wasn't a billionaire" and proceed to talk about the cave or the mansion assault in Miami, while ignoring that Riri (and most others for that matter) are not likely to be aware of all the details of Stark's adventures and experiences the way the audience is. It's not Spaceballs, she can't just watch the Iron Man movies to know everything we do. (Maybe Deadpool can fill her in during a Team-Up) I like that the show could be as much a villain origin story as anything, that her choices have tied her to a darkness she may never escape. Rather than the next Tony Stark, she might be the next Mandarin (or Mandarin light maybe... less calories). Maybe her finding a way to merge tech with magic draws the attention of Doom later on. Maybe not. I'm just glad I didn't read the comics and develop prejudicial expectations that I hear left some in the audience feeling confused or let down. I got to just enjoy it for what it is, rather than lament what it isn't 🙂

Event Horizon staff weapon: Where we're dueling we don't need eyes to see 🙂

Honestly? I don't really care what it's attached to. I want the badge to put on some mini-toons. It just so happens that there's likely to be more KW content coming next page, which will almost certainly be 40(or higher)+ which makes it a convenient thing to tie it to. Family also has a boss named "Big Tony" and it might be funny if he had a contraband mini-mode that got stuck and he can't take it off and we have to help him (or beat him) to get the badge. But they could put it in KR for all I care in the end.

Just a thought, as I play my newest MA toon, it occurs to me it'd be awesome if Crane Kick was changed from single target to a narrow cone, so that when you kick someone and knock them back, you might do the same to 1-2 guys behind him, like dominoes. Also, it wouldn't hurt my feelings to have a 2nd Melee AoE in the set for high end enhancement sets.

We have a "Big Time" badge, but don't seem to have one called "Small Time" I would like to see this rectified, especially for the benefit of those characters either playing as petty crooks and/or using Mini-Mode. I would suggest we earn it completing a mission in KW in the next page where the end boss is an EB/AV Family boss named "Big Tony" who has Mini-Mode on permanently 🙂

Considering the temporal anomaly Paragon City seems to be trapped in, unable stop repeating the same events even as the timeline inches forward... It seems perfectly reasonable that many characters be, either all or part, trapped in the 80s 🙂

Just imagine if she put a fireworks launcher on her armor 😛

So NPC female nurse's have that little cap thing kinda like a crown or tiara. I presume it's an eye detail (since it mixes with a ponytail). Can we get that please?

the Sparkles aura is significantly different. Incendiary Aura does the job well enough on a pyrotech character, but is still a bit heavy compared to Sparkles. Also, the Sparkles path aura would be of potential value to all characters, rather than limited to those who take a certain powerset. If Incendiary Aura's fx were added it would be as a Tier 3 costume effect bought with Prismatics. (I was told that's how the Excelsion personal force field would (probably) come that way in page 3)

Could we get some of the face patters that are symmetrical shapes for both eyes have new options for right eye and left eye? Dark Eyes, Under Eyes, Stars, Goth... Also Star Eye, Fish hook, War Paint, and Tribal half getting mirrored and both versions? I'm currently building an outfit that uses the metal plate eye detail (only covers right eye... a mirrored version of that might be handy too) and it shows more flesh through the eye hole than I would like. Was thinking Dark Eye under it would fix that nicely but having to have both eyes dark kinda undermines the desired effect.

Not in the Movement Only format 🙂

I would like if Fly's subpower, Afterburner, could have a 1-2 second cooldown or delay after activating Fly, before Afterburner can be activated. I find that sometimes, when I turn on Fly, it "stutters" and turns off for a second before turning on again. Unfortunately, with my binds set to activate Afterburner whenever possible while Flying, that stutter then deactivates Afterburner, triggering it's 60 second cooldown 😞 Since I can't work a delay into keybinds (in a convenient or reasonable manner), it would be really handy if Afterburner itself had one. I don't use it as often, but this applies to Double Jump as well.

So in light of all the sparkly sparkle spark new characters, could we get a version of the Sparkles aura as a path aura?

I want to be able to take my respec a bit further into a full retcon 🙂 /retcon: Take the character back to the a partial version of the character creation page... Origin, AT, Powersets, & Costume editor (in case you change weapons). Why would this be different from just remaking the character? You keep all your inf, badges, and temp powers. You get returned to level 1, but all your accumulated XP gets converted to Patrol XP, so while you still have to make the journey back the road is smoother. You keep all progress with contacts, and when you hit the right level range you can go back to them for content you out-leveled and make further progress, unlike just replaying a shadow of it in Ouroboros. This way you could take a well loved character, maybe a long time badge collector, and update to a more appropriate (or brand new) AT or Powerset without having to abandon all of the hard work you already put into them.

Awesome! How and when we get such things is never as important as just knowing they're somewhere on or over the horizon. Edit, while you're thinking about it, consider the Sonic bubble a part of the request also, if possible.

@Cobalt Arachne How viable would it be, with existing tech, to add the Personal Force Field visual effects (and the Excelsion variant) as an Aura, for characters wanting the bubble as a cosmetic effect without having to limit themselves to Force Field powersets?

Starhammer can absorb, alter, and emit most forms of energy... basically Force Fields and Energy Blasts, which are already largely covered by an existing epic pool, however it would not be hard to keep the theme while making some variations to the powers. A mini-Nova, a slightly less impressive Dispersion field for melee characters, a S/L/E defense/resist combo armor and maybe a self-rez/vengeance combo for the squishies. For the sake of an interesting new mechanic, a single target ranged dot toggle that just runs until you run out of end, the target runs out of HP, or 30 seconds passes (because perma would just be abusive)

Yup. Even just the standard Headband as an eye detail on male/huge options would be nice. The "Headband" hair just doesn't always generate the desired effect.

heh, back when I was running on a MUCH lower end laptop, I would get load screens going through doors like hospitals and police stations 😛 So glad I run on a better system now.

I would really like if we had a tool in the costume editor that would export a .gif of our character rotating 360 degrees slowly (optionally in a fly pose if there's wings, and or with weapon/shield active if we select that piece while using the tool) In a related note, words are insufficient to express my hatred and frustration for Windows 11 and 3rd party screen capture and image editing software...

I expect that would annoy people who want to come straight out of the portal and fly upwards. It would be a neat place though. Thematically appropriate.

"Hood Back" would look nice as a collar option on "Over the Shoulder"

I agree, though I was thinking somewhere West of the plaza, maybe a bit North of the sign describing the luminescent flowers...

I really like the effect of the Cosmic gorget propogated to Cybertech backpacks for Blackwing, and added to the Brooch list. I'd love to see it done with more pieces too, such as the Clockwork, Warp, AB7 Afterburn, Freedom Corps Jetpack, & Elemental Order, as well as the Komadori and Shrike wings, and the Goldbricker Jet Pack. I hope we can find a couple alternative gorget pieces in the future as well. Very useful for armored characters.
