    Huge stance for females, that's going to be awesome.

    Claws look snazzy. Nice work. though still wish we had a drill claw...

    Bug: Shoulderpad cape's shoulderpad clips through the body when the player model raises its arms.



    This happens on male characters at the very least.

    The weapon versions will not scale with any scales other than the hand scales, that's just a limitation with our weapon system.

    The bracer versions should scale properly.​​

    Oh, so that's why weapons don't have their own slider. You'd think the claws would be the same size as the hands. Still, it sorta makes good wolverine claws.

    Should we expect new stances available in the future? Just curious.
    (Well, not really new, just stances npcs might have)

    Hey, does this have anything to do with the suggestion meeoeoowie made in the Costume Suggestion Thread?

    After looking at the new fist weapons/bracer skins in-game, I can verify that they are EXACTLY the same weapons found in the image posted. I feel I should mention that the image itself was made by CO devs in the past, and was just never created... we thought. Seeing as this was posted 12 days ago, I highly doubt these new weapons were made from scratch.

    What else has been already mostly done, then put aside and forgot about? o_o
    It makes sense, if you don't think about it.

    Hi all
    Ok some feedback first
    nice bracers and claws but the bracers and claws do not line up, if you have chosen both types to use (clipping issues)
    I was under the impression that the bracers were a permanent decoration, representing the actual claws (if claws are used in a build)
    In regards the shoulder cape, been waiting for this, but suggest other types of capes, especially one which would be wider and partially cover the arm(s). that would look really cool. So far none of the capes in game does this, which I feel is a shame
    also in regards to others, could the ones already in game be attached as an option? (so web, tattered etc)
    hope this helps

    oh and a shame you did not include the chainsaw bracer
    not enough chainsaws imo

    This happens on male characters at the very least.

    Same thing happens with Gladiator Shoulders, I assume it has something to do with how it's being attached to the body, instead of moving with Shoulders it moves with the torso, that's why It doesn't move with your arms.
    Want to get to know me a bit better, Click me and take a read of My Dragon Profile Page, it's a bit dated but still relevant.

    I take this quote from a review that I agree with.

    "customisation is so linear; everyone is after the optimal dps:survivability ratio with 0 reliance on other players = autonomous gameplay... Players don't need each other anymore... which in my opinion is a bad thing."

    Looks like my primal hunter, Stalker, will get a second chance now :)

    Awesome to see these finally make their way online. Any chance the chainsaw claws could show up down the line as well?

    Must have that lamppost heavy weapon....

    So, is this claw pack an indication that much of the art asset work was done for those never released weapon packs?

    lamppost heavy weapon with fire coming out of the lamp end (cause the glass would be broken of course)...
  • draogndraogn Posts: 1,269 Arc User
    Hopefully someone will consider closing, or at least giving us the option, the mouth of the Huge beast stance.
  • thelastsonofzodthelastsonofzod Posts: 658 Arc User
    1.) It's pure speculation on my part, but I suspect Kais and the other Devs are plumbing past concept arts for new ideas on content.

    You'll notice that the guitar Axe we received was first conceived in this same concept pack ensemble.

    FWIW, I think that's a great idea. I know I was bummed when this set never materialized.

    2.) You can close the mouth for the bestial stance my altering the character's facial expression.

    Would sharing the female stances with males be possible? Could be fun, useful, and folks are always looking more stances.

    Here's an existing stance that would be interesting to test out

    SUGGESTION: Add in the "hovering" stance that the Become doomlord and Become celestial devices use when their respective travel powers are not active
    In all things, a calm heart must prevail.

    Sweet... maybe one day there will be PSI or Holo claws... one sweet day.

    Request/Suggestion: Please add an "Imaginary" unlock for Fist Weapons. Since some of the fist weapons available in this new pack are also Bracers, I'd love to use the bracer variation without holding another fist weapon. It just looks silly. If there could be an option not not show a fist weapon in combat, and just use the Bracer, that'd be great.
    It makes sense, if you don't think about it.

    Yeah, Stalker is using the same combo. Unfortunately, he's a bit too buff to pull it off any other way. Overall design still looks shiny though :)

    As far as Imaginary weapons being added to Z-store packs...I'm gonna go with a no on that. I spent a lot of effort unlocking them during Foxbatcon, and I feel like anyone else wanting them should put forth an equivalent effort.

    I don't recall them being terribly hard to unlock (I unlocked them a year ago), the big problem is that they're only available for a single short period once per year.

    So are NPC stances a possibility? Or do you mean only the stances within the tailor? Apologies for the off-topic comment.

    Very excited about the claws and also quite glad on the timer on Cosmics, since it helps people that want to *avoid* the Cosmics (perhaps use the areas for their own reasons and intentions) and, mainly, the people who want to hunt them.

    Thank you for the extra stance options for females.

    I'd love to see the "Static" stance from the tailor menu added as a playable female stance if we're expanding the use of existing assets. It's so much nicer than the current female "Average" stance.

    A little disappointed how awful the new claw costume pieces look on large chars. You'd think the bracers would look bigger on them. But they just look like one of those friendship bracelets.

    Here's to hoping that there will be a good costume piece for us giants~

    Who said anything about an imaginary weapons pack in the Zstore? If anything, add Fist Weapons to the Melee Imaginary Weapons Unlock (and give it to people who have it already retroactively) or just add it to this new Fist Weapon Zstore set (and, once again, give it to all the people who already bought the set). If absolutely nothing else, at least think about adding it to Foxbatcon's rewards for next year.

    I'd love to not have to wait an entire year for it, but I suppose beggars can't be choosers.

    It makes sense, if you don't think about it.

    What are Fist Weapons? I don't understand what you want.

    Do you want the new bracer without the weapon part protruding from it? If so, that would be a different costume piece altogether. The idea for the weapon bracers is for characters who want their claws out at all times. There are several costume pieces already like this.
