    For the Foxbat event, could there be a possibility of adding invisible hands and feet to go with no arms and legs from the partial tags, and maybe an option for no arms or legs for the left and right mechanical parts? I keep forgetting to mention a floating head option too,like just a floating head, no other body parts, unless that could be an aura of sorts, idk just blurting out some ideas.

    They already said they'll not do that because they don't want the possibility for completely invisible characters.

    Well, I think these changes are pretty cool. I just have a couple general questions about the future.

    1) Will there be other social instances added to at least the Millennium City map? I mean, getting social instances on the other maps would be awesome too.

    2) Will the hideouts ever be expanded upon? I know that there were plans for them to be a little more expansive than they are now. Any plans to implement this, or adding new styles of hideouts?

    So happy about the exchange vendor titles.
    I don't care about AFs and some other items, which are bound or can't be auctioned for much.
    Titles are cool.
    :)

    For folks that like the items, it's as if nothing has changed.

    For folks who want the items and the titles . . . guess you'll be farming that open mission,

    Oh yeah. What -are- the deal with these things popping up? There's the teddy, the dino at Defender's hub, Smokey the cat, and this thing. Are they just simply bizarre sights for everyone around the Ren Cen or what?

    There will be a secret uprising where they suddenly unite, deal massive damage to everyone around them, and take over the world.

    Bug
    Cybernetic Cowboy Neck Cape
    The Cape attachment is missing Inside texture map.
  • jonesing4jonesing4 Posts: 803 Arc User
    As far as I can tell the missing Inside is only a problem on males. No choice for Inside/Outside/Both, and it just defaults to solid black. My female toons aren't having any trouble.

    And it's missing the Poncho...​​

    Which is a shame but I can't imagine them being able to do actual over the shoulder pieces that partially wrap the arms without it looking bad outside of concept art.

    Not a criticism of the devs, more an observation given CO's limitations. The neck-piece that came with the Cyber Cowboy set was probably the compromise.

    I would love to have Poncho costume, but Im not sure if they can even Emulate Poncho's cloth physics with the game's engine without clipping with everything
    It's also what category part would it fit be? Back Piece? Neck Accesory? Chest Wear?​​

    Not sure if it's a bug or an intended change, 'cause I don't remember seeing it in patch notes, but the conversion rate of Silver Champion recognition to UNTIL recognition got changed from 1 SCR for 5 UNTIL, to 3 SCR for 3 UNTIL.

    Well, they could try something with Cowboy Duster's shoulder flapthing. And theres few things that are close. Takofane's mantle for one. Don't have to be full poncho, just more like this.

    Mantle of Takofanes works because it doesn't wrap around the arms at all. But yeah, if you want a poncho that stops where that mantle stops then that could work.

    It would be possible to make one like this


    All they'd have to do is take the shoulder parts of the Cowboy Duster jacket, and make those separate shoulder pieces with optional cape attachments in the back. When combined with the Cyber Cowboy neck piece, you'd have an over the shoulder poncho similar to the one pictured above.

    That would be cool, nice idea. You should also post this in the costume suggestions thread mate.

    I did, I just didn't have that picture at the time, so it's the same suggestion sans pic.

    They already said they'll not do that because they don't want the possibility for completely invisible characters.
    And they also already made fully invisible characters an impossibility. Adding invisible hands and feet wouldn't suddenly make invisible torsos and waists happen. Adding invisible hands and feet would simply allow for some character concepts to be fully realized finally. Besides, people who want invisible characters already accomplish nearly complete invisibility with the skeleton costume and ghost/stealth aura.

    True enough. And I personally was wanting to realize my armless Harpy character eventually...

    I have an elemental outfit that I wanted to have no feet with so I could simulate my own version of the air elemental pets with that djinn flight effect, though I wish that was a travel power by itself kinda XD, but the tornado flight can do for now I guess.​​
