Psyonico Posted July 26 Share Posted July 26 I'd like an aura available in the costume creator that makes you translucent. I've got a couple of characters that are ghosts and it would be nice if I could make them somewhat see-through without having to rely on stealth powers/IOs 1 What this team needs is more Defenders Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rudra Posted July 26 Share Posted July 26 I would rather it was separate from the auras if possible. If it was an aura, then I couldn't make misty spectrals, radiant astral entities, or other such characters unless every aura had a see through character option. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They still fall under auras, but they don't fall under the base auras. So that allows us to mix and match effects. Edit: Or conversely, maybe even better, the same way the Spectrum skin was added. So that things like wraiths that have translucent or invisible bodies but wear clothing normally can exist without also having ghostly attire. Maybe even both options so full ghosts and semi-corporeal wraiths can both be made. Edited July 26 by Rudra 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Players can already buy the Spectral Pirate and Ghost Effect from Benevolabs. So if those don't work in PvP zones or the arena, then just have a flag for the new aura effects that also disables them in PvP zones and the arena. If those aren't disabled though? Then I don't get why the OP should be treated any differently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
temnix Posted July 26 Share Posted July 26 What prevents this engine from applying a translucency effect to the character on a checked box? It doesn't even have to be a costume part, just a variable set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then I don't get why the OP should be treated any differently. Well, that was the first time I went to a PvP zone with a Effect from Benevolabs running. In fact, I took in a character with Spectral Pirate. It stays active. I waited until I the character was fully in PvP mode, and it was still active. I went into Recluse Victory proper, and it was still active. Seems to be a problem that needs resolving. If someone posts a reply quoting me and I don't reply, they may be on ignore.

arcane Posted July 26 Share Posted July 26 (edited) Does the Aether effect “Ghost” do this? I can’t remember. If so I’d say that’s enough. Edited July 26 by arcane 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rudra Posted July 26 Share Posted July 26 4 hours ago, arcane said: Does the Aether effect “Ghost” do this? I can’t remember. If so I’d say that’s enough. From what I see on the wiki page, it applies a slight translucency effect and a vaporous green aura so you look like a Croatoa ghost. There are other effects, existing auras, that I would also like to use, as well as no ambient aura for my shadow demon character. I would also like to not have to wait until I can get my hands on 250 Prismatic Aethers to make my ghost/shadow/astral/spectral character actually semi-transparent. It is why I am not a fan of locking costume parts behind the Prismatic Aether wall. Enemy transformations and other transformations? Sure. Costume parts though?

Unfortunately, I think the time for “special auras shouldn’t cost prismatic aethers” was a couple of years ago. It’s part of the game now, and we certainly can’t go passing out those same special auras for free unless all the people that spent aethers are going to get reimbursed.

I'm fine with them being reimbursed. (It would take a lot of work though.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is to give end-gamers something to do. I'm not opposed to that. Let them grind and pay people for Prismatic Aethers.

I use some form of stealth power for that too, but not all my ethereal characters are supposed to be stealthy. So those have not been made since I can't give them a suitable appearance. Add to that the Ghost effect is not appropriate for any of them because of the green vaporous appearance and I only just recently finally got to 150 Prismatic Aethers (between all my characters, including buying them from the AH, that I sent to just 1 character) to get the badges for just 1 character, and I find needing 250 Prismatic Aethers to make a non-stealth apparition prohibitively expensive.
