From Concepts to... Compost?

HEY TRAILTURTLE ASK ABOUT THIS.

Some things we've seen teased in the concept art is strangely absent, and I'm a bit curious as to why it's been pushed back, abandoned, or forgotten. I'm no fool, I understand that sometimes things work on paper and fail in 3D.

Cyberpunk items: So, there was this cool augmented skin, sick revolver-like pistol, and an actual implemented sword in the become device for the cyberninja. Why hasn't this stuff become available to us? I'd be fine with you shoving it into the Questionite exchange. Also, while I'm here- PLEASE put a tag in a costume unlock for male/female specific pieces so some players aren't wasting their money, effort, and time to get something. And that mouth accessory for females is still only in metal.

Extreme Super Awesome Ninja, It's one thing to get a costume set that doesn't have all of the anticipated pieces. Where'd this, you know, entire costume set go to?

Staves, wands, rings, and emanation points. Last we heard there was mention that this was entirely feasable and in the works. We already have versions of this with head/palms/fists/chest, and even different length firearms have appropriately-placed muzzle flash. Where's this?

Auras. It's kind of weird that this was huge talk not long ago, and now we're not hearing jack on it. For a while, the slots were available on PTS, and that kind of went away. It'd be nice to know that this was in progress. Also, please be even and diverse when making these, not everyone wants hocus-pocus or energy-dazzle.

    1) Cyberpunk guns and sword look great. I thought they were from other places though. Like the Gunblades and stuff. Am I mistaken?

    2) Check integrated shoulders. That is where a lot of the Ninja stuff is. That is the subcategories under the tights tab, I think.

    3) I remember 2 years ago there was talk of more emission points and then POOF! No more talk. It was sad to say the least. It would be nice to skin that. That was around the same time as additional pet types and skins was getting talked about IIRC.

    The same can be said about auras. There was talk of making all the passives have a 0 point thing to turn them off and tailor based auras...also...POOF! Who knows what is going on in this regard.

    The tiny group of people just isn't capable of producing all the stuff that was talked about months ago. It just gets pushed farther and farther down in a list of 'Stuff To Do'.

    Yeah, the 2 things I'd kill to see in game the most were the kitten action figure, and that ninja set. I hope these aren't 100% dead, we already have 4 legged animations in the wolves of canada. Hell, I'd be happy if we could just shrink one down and use that, for a starter. :D

    Might be a pipe dream, but I'd love expanded Hideouts with the ability to openly invite your friends to come and go as they please, instant SG HQ. :cool:

    What about it? It got an upgrade in a pass months ago, with the release of On Alert I think...
    Do you have several level 40s?
    Consolidate the currencies! (Please!)
    Does your Champion have a theme song? (share it!)
    Got a funny in-game screenshot? (share it!)
    Please fix the Overdrive energy unlock! (Should help promote thematic build diversity!)

    I would LOVE to have the archer costume set.

    Here it is.....http://photobucket.com/champions-thearcher

    The great thing about this set is that not only would it improve the look of our archers, it is also a set for improving fantasy/medieval toons!


    Please, please,please,please....ad nauseum:biggrin:

    I have reached the stage that I look at the pretty pictures and read the fancy ideas and just hope we get half of it. CO seems to only be a small team of devs so I tend to be happy when we get only a small proportion of their great ideas in game.

    While I wouldn't allow anyone into my 60s Moonbase without a turtleneck, or ascot, or go-go boots, I think this would be a great idea.

    Until they do like the Fleet Bases in STO and turn them into a time and resource sink.

    I didn't almost forget. I just plain forgot. I also thought someone was talking about the powerset until it was clarified. It's basically been that long since the Archer set was shown.

    Too true Kenpo. The first time I saw this concept art I just knew that I had to save the images and post them whenever the concept is mentioned. It's such a good looking concept set and I want it so bad.

    Once again, lest we forget,.......The archer set!! http://photobucket.com/champions-thearcher

    And lets not forget the claw set...

    or heavy weapons....

    And, even released costume sets that weren't entirely what they seemed to be in the concept art...I still want the variations on the head piece with the Steelhawk set.

    I still remember seeing this and I was STOKED.

    Then came the actual set in the test shots... and while it had some coolness to it, I was thinking that maybe the test shots were incomplete.

    I would like them to double the amount of people working there, so that they have a chance to get things done.

    Wish lists are fine but ulcers in the people trying to get work done isn't. They are doing what they can.
