  • Ophan@ghosthack She's a surfer girl from SoCal who happens to have a hitchhiking demon in her head. Don't worry, though, he's a good demon, and she's got totally awesome angel wings (Surf Angel, anyone?;P) She uses the silverhawk chest piece in her outfit, and of course has a damn fine set of wings....
  • Epically good form, agreed. :cool:
  • it's really not necessary. You got where you got, fair and square. It's more that the developers should have had a bit more sense in the first place.
  • And, technically one entry has two potential winners... but I do agree that, while you were allowed to submit as often as you liked, the development team should have limited the finalists to unique community members (no duplicates)
  • weeeeellllllllp, It's friday. Althought TT doesn't get into the office usually until later, so we probably wont see anything until this afternoon..... ...anyone else excited?
  • if I don't get the opprotunity to vote for one of my own... this will probably be my vote too. although the "Beckham fashion" set on the first page was pretty nice too.... though I doubt, highly, that a final version would look half as good as the original art of either of these.
  • Nova..... Che Sera, Sera.... enjoy the game, if you want Zen, and can't/don't want to buy it... WORK FOR IT. it's not hard. If the contest works out in your favor, GREAT.... but there is no way to determine a statistical probability, because NO ONE KNOWS what the developers may/may not like.... and we have almost no idea…
  • I disagree... the reality is, there are a lot of factors that go into making these sets, both in terms of mechanics and resources. by limiting the choice to 5, the development team are able to select the 5 "best of all possible worlds" options (i.e. the ones that fit their criteria for costume sets in general…
  • farm dat Q, son!
  • Not "Player One and Player Two"? Psychotic Mercs who know they're in an MMO? :P
  • Heh, I think you might be selling the community short, a little... They may not KNOW it's "kirby"... but they know what Kirby looks like... it's like saying Timm.... even if you don't know.... you still know. :P but my argument was more.... It won't MATTER if your submission was impossibly niche, or not.... For whatever…
  • While I do agree, in some respects.... I know that the Mob does gravitate towards things that require less personal effort.... And, I have a very strong feeling that with a 5-day turnaround from "end of submission" to "posting of top 5".... no Dev time will be spent on the presentation of the finalist entries.... ....so it…
  • heh, meanwhile I'm pretty certain none of mine will get picked. I never get picked for these sorts of things.
  • perhaps... but having only one DOES show which, of all these possibilities is the "most" desirable, by the community. even if its the lesser of 5 evils. and, the fact remains that this is the contest we've been given, so we should not waste too much energy musing how it could/should have been set up
  • One last one from me (doubt I'll have time or inspiration for another) post 1 http://co-forum.perfectworld.com/showpost.php?p=4103511&postcount=110 post 2 http://co-forum.perfectworld.com/showpost.php?p=4103531&postcount=111 and post 3 http://co-forum.perfectworld.com/showpost.php?p=4103541&postcount=112 if it hasn't been…
  • And, finally... here are just a couple of other mockups with different, more and less patriotic color schemes: A greek hero, perhaps? or a onsie with leggings? Give this one a big star on the front and back.... or maybe a big beetle logo? ;) and, finally... something of a Great British Flare: Now, I realize that this set…
  • I would also like to see a new Arm Accessory (possibly also a Bracer) option of a row of Four stars, similar to the Golden Age stars.... and perhaps have all these oversized emblems also come in "lapel" form (like the foxbat badge) And here's a quick mockup of the cape backing... pretty simple, but it's just to get the…
  • So, This will probably be my last entry (but who knows?) I originally wanted to make a forth of July "Stars and Stripes" set, but realize that what we really could use is a couple of tights sets that allow players to do a better job of making "flag-themed" costumes and characters. in some respects, a simple tweak to…
  • I can already make both of those in the CC...... I would like to see more mask/helmets like the spider-armor costume... but honestly... Ironman-esque armor is one of the few armored up styles we have a plethora of. and "armored tights" look (what you describe as "sleek") is already possible, and SIMPLE in the CC: this is…
  • Cool! a bit too anime for my taste... but I like the core concept :)
  • Heh, one of my characters is from a secret super-science version of Rome, so I've been down this exact road with the tools we have.... Personally, I think I've done quite well... other than her superhero costume, which is a traditional tights look, I think I capture an "evolved roman vibe" pretty well.
  • That Arm piece is already totally do-able in game... or very close to it, anyway. I like the mask...i think? hard to tell exactly what's going on in the gif. leg pads seem kinda dull, but with detailing they'd be fine. hate the spiked crest, imo looks dumb.
  • Ahh...heh, I jumped to a far more...uh... "mass effect" or "deus ex" vibe. sort of high-tech Imperium from space... but with a Romanesque aesthetic underpinning...
  • are the Malvan's the dudes from that one alert event? meh. but a Romanesque set that bleeds the line between history and future might be cool. and for the record, I have not been a diehard proponent of "more fantasy NEOW".... my first costume suggestion was for a guardians/battlestar-meets-superheroes type look…
  • Zam, i think that would actually make a really neat "Parts Pack": "Large Emblems" sort of like the steelhawk emblem, but moreso, and even bigger (like whole-chest-sized) have big V's and Triangles and Shields and Diamonds and Stars (even bigger than one guys currently get, or at least an equally large one for female…
  • sort of a flawed argument, there, Cyber... I mean, this isn't a sci-fi game either.. and there are plenty of those available too, even if it isnt "as much" as the fantasy ones. (and, perhaps that is the market speaking and saying that there is a greater DEMAND for fantasy aesthetics....and such things should be considered)…
  • yeah... missing a real Pteruges, too, if memory serves. I stick by the "greco-roman" moniker, though... as the clothing does fit both cultures, it's just not as strongly, iconically, roman. (though I didn't realize the gladius had been removed/lost)
  • I put a lance/spear in mine... we've got the wizard staff (with the crescent-moon blade on it) already, but we don't have anything that's long and thin, really... just the Scythe, which kinda looks goofy, imo.
  • Agreed... there has always been a heavy Kitsch..or even "action figure" factor to the older pieces that has found its way into every later piece, to varying degrees. I think, however, that what is missing isnt so much "fantasy", as (well, like his and my titles suggested) the idea of a legendary, semi-magical warrior...…
  • hey, that one guy looks pretty flamey ;P honestly, I love the "energy head" option.... could we have ANY mask work with it, though? not just the metal mask. also "energy eyes" (hollow, glowing eyes sockets) would be neat... not just behind masks but also for that skull head I've wanted to use to make a rider who seems…
  • Fair to say... but the only promise made so far, is that they'll look at what we post in that thread. period. Which is why so many people are wandering in just asking for a single costume part, or a list of hair styles, etc, despite the fact that the contest is EXPLICITLY for "A Costume Set" (which, given someone's…
  • dude, who pee'd in your cheerios? Chill, and think. it is functionally POSSIBLE to do what the costume suggestion proposed. whether it's FEASIBLE is a separate matter. There is ZERO downside, here. you can wish for pony legs or snake bodies or edible heads. It DOES.NOT.MATTER. if the Devs like it (i.e. WANT and FEEL ABLE…
  • I really like berfegor's latest entry. Some suggestions though: Maybe having the shorts and belt be separate pieces? (female shorts) have the shorts be just in tights with skin (but longer and more detailed than the current up-you-butt shorts options currently available.) girls should totally get to have those cool dreds…
  • weeeeeell...... there IS this guy on the right... and... I know Ive seen this guy at least once... ...oh, and his little friend... ......something that provides multiple arms IS "possible" in the game engine (they may not be uniquely articulated, but that's not necessarily the expectation, either) The real question is: is…
  • just do it, and then do your "back up" let THEM decide whether it's doable or not..... you can post as often as you like, so just put your mind down on paper, so to speak.
  • Well, there's my second name tossed in the hat. I really wish I could draw... I cant help feeling that (unless the Devs are going to take the top five and mock them up, personally) the entry that looks the best is going to end up winning :-/
  • For my second entry, I wanted to come up with a set that, as pieces could be used in many different character concepts (from knights and samurai to royalty and wizards) and that had a solid, defined look when worn together.... ....This is what I came up with... The Mystic Warrior: Step firmly from the pages of legend or…
  • heh, meanwhile, all I can see is Nova Corps. I love the idea of a "piecemeal" helmet (though we've kind of got that already... but YES to more options, always :P) but as soon as you put that "star cross" on the helmet, it becomes: Don't get me wrong, I LOVE LOVE LOVE nova (Rider and Alexander) but I would be worried about…
  • :P Seriously, though, It's all about options. I'd really like a new "big pack" of civilian clothes.... like the urban pack but less... goofy. just providing some additional...depth, to options we already have (not so short skirts... normal looking shorts, camisole tops, hood-down hooded zip-ups, more shoe skins for flats…
  • hah! no worries... and thanks for submitting a skirt that is short without being "stripper" short.... I wish they'd give us skirts and shorts that followed that same design philosophy. not all ladies want their butt showing out the bottom of their clothes.
  • SPOILED! :P for some of us who aren't as hip to the lingo... what's the difference between a "costume set" and a "costume pack"?
  • welp... posted up mine. I'm no artist like Numaman, but hopefully I made up for it, by breaking all my pieces down to the individual parts :-/
  • Now, I realize my tights have "open collars" I would LOVE to have that look, but I realize it could be difficult (or require a custom "neck" piece) So I drew a rough sketch of a version of the tight's top without the collar that keeps the same basic look: As for additional Accessories: Collarless/fastenless Jacket Slung…
  • Cosmic Adventurer: Whether you hail from distant stars, or can't wait to get out into that great unknown, the Galaxy can be a rough place. Those who choose to seek adventure through the cosmos need to look the part! Alright... here's my submission. (colored to match the default colors in the CC) Pieces include: M/F tights…
  • Which reminds me..... this isn't a "enter as often as you want" type thing, is it? The post doesnt explicitly say, but I just assumed that it was a "one costume set per contestant" type deal....
  • It should be up by now, but I don't see it anywhere :-/ so much for having it up "before the contest begins" :p
  • Magma (Star) Iron (Star) Metal (star) Crystal (Star) Core (Star) Ore (Star) Boulder (Star) Mass/ive (Star) Rubble (Star) Hunk (Star) Roll (Star) (like Rock and...)
  • Hah... yeah, that's something that get's lost in the translation. When Ghosthack posted this, it was her signature sign off to toss a brick (to account for many less than 10 char posts :P). It doesn't mean quite the same thing, once it's "generic Perfect World User" :P so.....if you're not using these bricks.... *throws a…
  • Terracotta is still one of my favorite character designs of anyone in this game... but you know that ;P
