Mariposa Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 I know it's been a long time since the last update and our devs do a great job keeping things up. I want to know if there are plans to expand the ancillary powers, or add new origins pools like tech/gadgets, or new powersets. Also I think the game could use some hairstyles ported from NPCs if not new ones made from scratch. I wish we could have some new stuff soon!

Psyonico Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 Short answer, yes. New stuff is being worked on. Long answer, the dev in charge of compiling all of the code changes took a break due to some real life issues. My understanding is he was just recently able to start working on HC again, so hopefully within the next little while we should see new stuff. What that new stuff is... I don't know. 3 What this team needs is more Defenders Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmperorSteele Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 The issue with porting ANYTHING from NPCs is editing it to fit the player models... and in the case of male characters, porting the piece to work on the Huge bodytype, as well. So that's twice the work right there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadeknight Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 Also they have a policy to never touch anything unique to a Lore/Canon character unless they can find a reason to. See: Aeon Gloves being across the new Gold Brickers. i am entering my unhinged villain era. i am the local forum cop. fear my keystrokes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See: Aeon Gloves being across the new Gold Brickers. That sucks because it leave us with 0 new costume parts added. A huge part of the game is customization, and besides being gigantic after a few years of updates we could use some new skins, npc costume parts and hairstyles.

Shadeknight Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 We had some added. The Aeon gloves, Gold Bricker stuff (aside from their jetpacks) But we won't get stuff like Scirocco's sword as a weapon option. If its entirely unique and cannot be mass-replicated (within reason) onto other NPCs? It won't be done. i am entering my unhinged villain era. i am the local forum cop. fear my keystrokes.

Mjolnerd Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 Jokes aside -- like that movie, for example! Ha! ZING! Got 'em. But seriously, jokes aside, Catwoman is known for using a particular weapon. A weapon which is already represented in the game, not with enough assets to be a powerset on its own already but enough that it would represent a pretty significant head start compared to developing a new set from scratch (accidental pun!). And which players have been asking for as a full powerset non-stop since those assets were introduced as part of another set. I'm not on the Beta server or Discord, but if that isn't a reference to some kind of "whip combat" set, I will eat my hat. Wait, no. I like my hat. If it's not whips, I will force myself to sit down and watch the Catwoman movie all the way through from beginning to end as punishment. 2 2 Formerly of Virtue, now on Excelsior: Ace of Spades | Adamant Eve | Arch-Rival | The Bee | Blackbelt | Citizen Arcane | Core | Ctrl Alt Defeat | Daddy Longlegs | Diamant | Freak Accident | Galactrix | Great White Shark Heavy Machinery | Highway Star | The Howl | Ion Maiden | Knockout Artist | Krakatoa | Night's Templar | The Pact | Paroled McDonald | Virtual Boy | Volcaniac | White Widow | Yucatan And my most recent 50, Inter-Galactica (Gravity Control/Energy Assault dominator, 28 May 2023) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
