Heater Shield, yeah. I saw it in the store on PTS
If only this were a signal that a Gadgeteering revamp was around the corner.
https://www.arcgames.com/en/games/champions-online/news/detail/11520433-the-mech-lock-box!
I like how the description emhasizes the immense size of the Mechs, but we get the little brothers
jaaz pls XD
Highly Recommended
EDIT: In fact here is a GIF because the Preview ingame doesn't make it great justice, it looks muddy there
It Doesn't rotate colours like the others, It's full Rainbow Gradient! Glad to see the Rainbow auras have been improving
Even since last year, I have been craving to make a PRISM-man character, but we don't have Gem as Body material The chest pieces hands down is the most UNIQUE and best designed
It's Bulky, it's mechanical, its an unusual shape from the ordinary costume we been getting, instant 10/10
The shape of it reminds me of Magitek armour from Final Fantasy VI! Something I can Utilitizing on my own Magitek Armour costume
Thank you for the official statement!
Please Don't let Ice, Celestial and Bestial without an ACTUAL DPS Ultimate! EDIT: oh yeah... Telepathy too
You can still give Bladed Fury an 1-point adv and make it scale with ENRAGED instead of FOCUS so it can fit as Bestial Ultimate :V Massive Props
This pretty much seals it and makes its a pretty and appealing quality of life for Power Valiant Devices, even if I hate seeing those Devices being normalized instead of getting actual proper NEW POWERS!
But hey, more Tools for theme builds are cool!
However for any follow Gamepad user and enjoyer here is more ~ACCESSIBILITY OPTIONS~
You can bind Those devices on button combos to make them work on powertray (Icons won't appear on it though and any power on that slot wont be activated, but you will be able to see on the PVDs trey the Button to activate the power has changed)
For example I have currently only two characters using PVDs, one using [U-MD Ghosthunter Phase Rifle] and the other [Pulp Fiction Ray Gun]
So I can bound them on the Button I would Normaly use Two Gun Mojo for example, the Y
Now If you would like to bind an ULTIMATE! I'm putting the Ultimate Device on the Powertray combo position I'm always familiar when building characters having my Ultimate on the A4 powerslot,
which is Left Shoulder Button (not trigger) + A button! This will translate into
For additional Gamepad binding information, visit this thread and bind whatever combo of buttons it suits your playstyle (Use /unbind or /unbind_all if you feel you messed up)
https://www.arcgames.com/en/forums/championsonline#/discussion/147739/faq-for-playing-champions-online-with-the-xbox360-controller/p1
Have fun and keep rocking that Gamepad Playstyle~! 🎮👌😎 💯
Special Thanks to Omnius for bringing this thread back to attention! It was hidden deep in the forums' history
Why the Entire BIO!? and with the constant issue of the Description box not scaling properly!?
🅱️.E.T.E.R PLZ
I need to make a Captain Falcon theme build, if only Burning Chi Fist FIRE visuals weren't exlusive to the PULL adv
And seeing the set on PTS, The Helmet is awesome, the head accessories slap, the Falcon Shoulderpads and Bracers are very Regal-designed 👌
Very lovely
GREAT AESTHETICS For Sidekick
i DON'T LIKE when you are teasing use with Sidekicks who have Access to NPC unique powers and we don't 😒 especially for Single Pistols and Non-Toggle Power armour
Those powers can work SO WELL for Non-Toggle PA
Cannon Spray and Cannon Blast (which applies Armor Piercing)
Hypergun being a particle version of Force Blast/Cascade
still can't buy extra bank slots (silver account premium pack owner special FF slot)
This is a big journey, so far if you're reading this, wish you a good day
Any chance of replacing the Auction House shanty with the new model??? Those NPCS are really outdated and kinda killing the environment. Understand that looks is everything these days. Get with the times.
Even the OV smashers of similar design look like they have seen some better days. It looks like a robot I'd rather have stay home and wash some dishes. LoL. Please consider a remodel. May I also add that this is what y'all devs get for doing good. More work. 😅
Added Sparkler Emote as a possible drop from mobs during the event."
Is there a hard cap to how much you can farm in a day? I've been trying to farm the sparkler emote but the stars aren't giving me anything at the moment
no title :(
It just Flops down awkwardly
It's like looking at those dogs with long Snout that look down and look silly
Thankfully it's still Salvageable with the pose of R.A.D Sphere that fixes it
Still working on this MECHA project and for reference, THIS is what im trying to emulate
The worst addition, or lack of, of this set are the LEGs! Instead of Humanoid legs they should been like this!
https://david_kuts.artstation.com/projects/6a5OxO
To edit your Mecha:
Test 1 - Try beast mechanical+Toxic steel foot(change the foot because it swallowimg the leg shape). Try a thicker leg assessory on the hip+max them leg and waist sliders+reduce chest width+growth aura
Test 2 - keep what you already+try a different headwear+bubble head aura
I also noticed not much shoulders can look good with the chest piece simply because we dont have enough big epic shoulder armor. I'm still hopeful the costume devs eyes will open in future.
Another problem I have:
They ignore beast legs completely. Non of those foot assessories work with the calves of the beast legs shape. I said it before and I'll say it again. They just don't make foot accessories for beast legs anymore.
Black Scorpion
I'm wondering if this could be a bug? I haven't seen a tintable HUD aura in the auction house or from opening lockboxes. Can we confirm they are even dropping?
To be honest he just uses Black Talon attacks, so nothing really new, but yes i still want single pistol attacks and more gadget stuff, Gadgeteering needs such a desperate rework along Force.
Seems to be some confusion about what this actually means for controllers. I don't see any controller button combos anywhere that actually activate the PVD's and had to manually assign them myself
And by Mechassassin and Argent Bots and various other NPCs! That's why i said its NPC exlusive
Its been years and we still don't have access to those Cannon powers despite it would fit perfectly as Power Armour non-toggle and Single Pistol skins 😒
The animation has been there for NPCs forever (2 of them too), just make it available for players
The playerbase has been asking for Single Pistols for years! I can take advantage of this power using the various Hand Cannons we got!
It's the Gamepad LEFT Cross direction ← + A, B, Y, X & R1(Right Shoulder Button not trigger)
It basically Mirroring the Device input of Gamepads with RIGHT cross direction → + A, B, Y, X & R1
But at this point I went ahead and bound my gamepad with the thread you linked me to reflect the power tray slot!
Making a Claw gesture while trying to move and fire is not worth it, I don't need Kid Icarus Uprising type of controls
