New 250 Prismatic Aether affect - Mega


Recommended Posts

We have Mini mode for 250 Aether, so why not the opposite?

Increase the player size by around 1.5% and really STAND out in a crowd!

(I did have initial worries with clipping being an issue, but we already have Large costumes for cheaper prices that are WAY bigger then the player 😄)

I am not dropping that kind of bank on a costume.  One of the joys I have with CoH is not chasing costume parts.  Hi WoW.  Bye WoW.  Now.... they bring that sewage here....

They brought it back. Back on Live, several costume pieces were hidden behind walls where they had to be purchased or earned. I was happy that HC did not maintain that, but if it is to exist in the game again anyway, then better it be something we can't do with the character creator than things that should just be available in the character creator. Bigger than the CC allows is fine with me for having to buy (with in game currency).

Nope.  Nice try. No sale.  
 

if (and it is a BIG if) i bought something like this, for a certain concept, it would need to be persistent through death.  Because….concept.  
 

So, to recap, the only way i would buy this is for a concept i love.   That when it falls in battle reverts to a different size.   Any ideas what in the hell does that?

A bit of a stretch but there's some manga/anime characters that can flex their muscles to take on a bulkier form. We're not just talking bodybuilder posing vs resting but technically shapeshifting from skinny to Mr. Universe. It's a conscious effort, so they revert any time they're not actively maintaining it. The two that come to mind are All Might (My Hero Academia) and Galatea Undine (Claymore). I don't think it's a far cry from conceptualizing a character doing the same for height.

You are misunderstanding what I am saying. All I am saying is that costume pieces/options used to be behind in game walls. They aren't bringing something new to the game with the Prismatic Aethers, they are simply re-applying what used to exist in a different format. Personally, I am of the belief that if it is a costume option, and not a model replacer like the become various mobs options, but is like an aura, costume piece, or similar; it should not be behind a wall since they previously removed all the previous walls to such things. However, if this sytem is to exist, then it should include things that aren't really an option for player characters. Being smaller than the minimum and bigger than maximum is something I can accept being behind a merit wall. I'm not saying you should or have to, just that something like that being behind an accessibility wall makes sense to me. (Edit: And does have in game precedent dating all the way back to launch. Remember, capes weren't available until level 20, and then only if you went to the City Rep to complete a mission to unlock them. And then again at level 30 for auras. And when they added Vanguard. Vanguard costume pieces had to be purchased individually, and only applied to the purchasing character, using Vanguard Merits.)

 

And if you don't want to make use of the Prismatic Aether available options, that's fine. They are just that, an option.

I would check out this costume before seeing if the increased size is really an option for you ... at least I think this a correct one... it is very tall.

At some points, it definitely feels like it is too tall.

(It seems I'm involved with so much at this point that I may not be able to easily retrieve access to all the notifications)

Some players know that I have them on ignore and are likely to make posts knowing that is the case.

But the fact that I have them on ignore won't stop some of them from bullying and harassing people, because some of them love to do it. There is a group that have banded together to target forum posters they don't like. They think that this behavior is acceptable.

Ignore (in the forums) and /ignore (in-game) are tools to improve your gaming experience. Don't feel bad about using them.

I have seen that one and all the other very tall costumes you can get, which is why my worries of possible collision issues are non existent. I also notice a lot of people like the tall costumes to help stand out more hence the suggestion 💛

As for the OP suggestion, my only caveat would be to recognize in certain council cave maps, you can enter a hallway at the wrong angle and find yourself behind some pipe, and you have to back up and try again, or TP out. 

I once made a fire tank on retail that was a tall as I could make it, and that was always an issue.

Caves are so bad that if I've made a very large toon, I'll use their second costume slot and leave everything the same but make them as short as possible! Then when I have a tiny cave I swap to the tiny costume and it cuts down on profanity by 96%!!

 

I'm all for the OP but only a real masochist would wear it in the purple caves 🤣

M'kay.  But it seems to me that it's the Cat People that are the real problem around here.  Like that annoying roomate of yours, for example:

I understand that the collision issue isn't a factor, but it can make it a bit weird to get good visual angles in indoor/cave missions.

I haven't seen anyone else using any of the tall costumes.

I just use that one as a "nightmare" costume for one of my character sleep powers. I change into it - along with a tray flip to mass confuse and fear powers.

 

I was only "mostly" joking when I suggested City of Jack Kirby Giants back before the Sunset.

 

I think that there is only one of my current characters that I would use a growth power like this to make my characters bigger.

 

My main concern - based on the mini mode - is "is my character's head going to have the same "normal" size when their body gets bigger?"

Well, this would be through the prismatic aether costumes, so you wouldn't even have to use a costume slot to have the "giant" mode.

Technically i do agree.  Except for the price

 

I am a dirty casual at heart.  I love alts.  Investing a non refundable exorbitant fee into a few days/weeks gaming is stupid.  
 

for new players who do not have access to billions the devs have effectively said “ no, wait until you get good.  Then you might get this”. 
 

it flat out stinks.  And i have seen enough sewers to know what that smell is
