Well, most Robin incarnations are kids. What do you expect? Must they all be adults in this mod? Play as one of the adult Robin incarnations and you'll feel better.
so when I want to change suits I have to leave the world quit the game go to PMC, look for a skin that won't look bad, download or change it from the minecraft.net menu, hope that the new minecraft launcher doesn't have a stroke and not let me open minecraft again wait for my numerous mods to build then wait for the long load my pc has for loading worlds and resume my activities and then repeat this process every single time I want to be someone else and not look like a con's worst nightmare? Yea no thanks I'd rather the simple simple please both sides fix of adding a config option for just this scenario
Exactly. It's not like it's too much work to just texture skin/faces (some suits already have this like Hulk) and then just erase them for the default option.
Given the logic we're going by Hulk shouldn't have a face when you think about it nor should Darkseid
Sorry it bugs you but that's kind of the point of the mod, for you to become the character. The suits are designed so it is you uniquely as the character. If you want to look exactly like them with their skin showing and all, just change your skin to that of the character and put the suit over.
but the thing is the suits also override the helmet layer depending on the suit like nightwing's mask and in most skin cases he'll look almost bald or has a bowl cut. All due respect its not you becoming the character it looks like you playing dress up and in some case it just looks plain bad and I agree with the others I shouldn't have to change my skin every so often just so I won't look like a cosplay gone wrong a config option would be the best thing here why alienate one side when you can please both
I know what it is. What I don't know is how that's related to the video.
Seeing a guaranteed suit in a shop would motivate a player more into grinding points is what I mean especially in a game as open ended as minecraft something certain would be a pretty good motivator. Is there a tier limit to whats in shop?
So, with the alpha having been out for a while, and the alpha stage of this mod probably going to continue for a while yet, I figured I should probably point out some of the problems I've noticed having playing it for the first time since the first alpha.
Before I start though, I just want to point out that the mod has definitely improved since the pre-5.0 versions, but that doesn't mean there's still not problems and it's better to address them in the Alpha stage where they can be fixed easier before the mod becomes massive again.
Skins
I'm going to be blunt, some of the "skins" are just plain lazy. I mean, look at this and tell me these were 100% necessary and look so aesthetically different from each other:
Why waste time making these skins (the yellow oval one I can understand and a case can be made for) when some better, different ones could take their place? The one on the far right is literally just a darker tone from the default one, and that is a waste of a skin.
The Power Bar (Before you read past this, my problem is NOT with the bar itself)
The Power Bar is by far one of the best features implemented in the new version of the mod. However, before the mod comes out of an alpha I do feel it could do with a tweak. For starters, how come all the powers share the same power bar but can be used while one power is changed and having the bar change. That is not the best way this could be handled. Here are 2 alternatives I came up with:
Having each ability use up a certain amount of power and taking off that power according to the power used (eg. Heat Vision uses 20 power and the max power could perhaps be 100?). The power bar would always recharge at the same rate however.
Having separate power bars for each ability, and having them labelled by the name of the power, the ability number, or the key it's assigned to.
Also, the Power Bar should be configurable. I know that it's designed to be balanced, but some people wont want to play that restrictively. It wouldn't be a massive pain to just put in a config option to remove it, at least not at this point in the mods development.
Make Height Configurable
What even is this?
This is just ridiculous. The height sometimes makes me not want to use certain suits, and this is a prime example. I do not want to play as a character who's only a block-and-a-bit tall, and I'm sure I'm not alone in this. A config option to remove default suit heights would be great.
Change the Hitbox on Armour Stands
Every time I try to put a suit on an armour stand, it's a chore because I keep missing it or putting the suit on an armour stand I have set up behind the one I'm trying to use. It would be great if you could increase the size of the hitbox.
Make Continuous Powers Actually Continuous
That's to say, people can control how long they want to use heat-vision or speedster vortex's before their stamina runs out. Like, if I want to stop using heat vision before the stamina for it runs out, I can stop there and it will recharge from there. And in the vortex's case, the Flash doesn't just create a single gust of wind when he spins his arms. By default it should last a little longer.
Give Characters Faces (Or a Config Option To)
Some suits look ridiculous on Minecraft skins. I know when I was testing out Supergirl I looked like I was wearing a wig. Please add faces to all suits, or at least the suits that don't have masks because come skins make the player look like a moron in certain suits.
Minor Suit Problem
The CW/CBS Supergirl looks nothing like the suit from the show. What's with the weird yellow streaks and why does she have the yellow background in the S? She also has dark red/maroon tights.
Make Low Tier Suits Actually Useful in Some Form
I really don't see anyone using a Robin suit unless they want to complete their collection or upgrade it to an older version of that character (nice feature btw). I feel like more work should go into making them more desirable.
Not a Problem Just Something I Think Would Be Cool to See
More original suit designs like Nightwings would be cool to see. The "CW/CBS" Supergirl skin could be renamed into that, and I do remember there being an original Batman design in older versions of the mod.
Please Make The Superdex More Organised
Those gaps in the Superdex menu are really annoying to someone as nitpicky as me. A little organisation would be appreciated.
Make All Suits at Least Look Normal on a Steve Skin
I feel in future, as a guideline, suits should look normal on a Steve skin. E.g. if someone has no sleeves, texture skin on them. If someones wearing a skirt, texture the skin on their legs. If they don't have a mask but they have something on their head (like hair), texture their face.
Not All Robins Were Kids Y'Know...
Tim Drake shrinks yet he was a teenager when he started out as Robin. Even though I'm hoping for that config option, he should at least be player height by default.
Same for the CW Kid Flash
He's in his early twenties yet he's small in the mod. Logic? Also, his lightning symbol is wrong, as is the Wally West Flash's. The both have the same symbol as the default Kid Flash suit (only the Flash suit's is yellow not red obviously).
Gun's Can't Be Fired Without a Suit
Might be bug, but if not this doesn't make much sense. I'm all for it not working for suits that shouldn't be using guns, such as Batman. Although they should still be able to hold them (unlike previous versions).
(You can ignore this one if you want) Darkseids Teleportation
This is just an aesthetic preference of mine, but perhaps cause an explosion with a boom-tube sound effect? Since it's Darkseid and all.
(Not a problem, a suggestion) Vibrating Hand-Punch?
This might even already be a thing, but perhaps if you're vibrating as a speedster and punch somebody with an empty hand it will do piercing damage? Just a suggestion.
There doesn't appear to be a way to see alt-skins on the Superdex
I know this is an alpha, and this is probably planned, but it would be nice nonetheless.
Professor Zoom is Called Reverse-Flash
This is irritating because it looks like the 5 year olds are winning. Prof. Zoom used to be called Prof. Zoom in the mod, but now he's called Reverse-Flash? Can this please be fixed? Reverse-Flash is not one particular character, and the only character with that title that had no other alias was Daniel West. In a mod that otherwise does appear to be following the comics and not the TV Shows this is really annoying.
Zod's Default Suit Appears to be a Movie Suit (Man of Steel)
Same problem as the Professor Zoom one but in a different way and on a bigger scale. There are plenty of alternative designs from the comics out there if you look.
All Suits are on the Same Page on the Superdex
I liked the old, more organised design where Marvel and DC had different pages. Heroes and Villains should have different pages too IMO.
Whip Controls are Very Meh
Why not have left-click crack the whip to attack/grab items and left-click to swing? That seems a lot easier than the sprinting thing.
Fear Gas Looks More Like Smoke than Gas
A recolour, perhaps to green or brownish orange (like it is on the canisters on Scarecrows suit), would easily fix this problem. It would also be more consistent.
Freeze Breath is a Serious Problem
The number of times I have completely wrecked by stuff because I accidentally used freeze-breath is ridiculous. Even take a look at some of the preview videos you did of Superman and this problem is present, and yet nothing was done about it! Perhaps instead of freezing blocks, it just places snow or something (perhaps a new ice-layer similar to Fiskheroes or something). Anything is better than the way it is now.
The Word Mjolnir is Glitched in the Superdex
Last I checked, Mjolnir wasn't spelt with an i, upside down question mark and a half in the middle of it.
Iron Man Shouldn't Have a Power Bar
I'm not usually one for giving characters special treatment, but in the case of Iron Man I'm making an exception. A character who is already restricted by fuel, should not have to deal with any further restrictions. Either the Power Bar should be rendered null for him, or the fuel bar should go.
"You Need 2 Pym Particles to Grow"
Same case as the Iron Man fuel bar. A longer cooldown for growing is all that this needs.
(Suggestion) Ant-Mans Growth/Shrink Discs
At least for the movie version, Ant-Man should have these. He's a character who I think needs a little more substance.
Remove Durability on All Suits
Durability is not necessary. Especially since the mod no longer relies on the ridiculous "Second Health Bar" mechanic it had in the last release. The suits can be ridiculously expensive and players shouldn't have to worry about their durability, in fact the durability might deter them from using some of the rarer suits.
Skin-Only Abilities Should Only Be Display in Skin-Suit Menus (When/If Added)
Waste of an ability slot, and space on a superdex page, if the default suit doesn't have the ability.
Wolverines Claws Should do Closer-to-Max Damage
Adamantium is the hardest material in the marvel universe. His claws should at least do 20-25 attack damage.
What Exactly is Scent Tracking Supposed to Do?
It didn't give me a message saying the ability wasn't finished, yet it still doesn't do anything for me. More guidance in the superdex would be appreciated.
Ultrons Concussion Blast Does Nothing
Same as above, I got no message telling me it was incomplete. So I'm assuming this is a bug.
Lightspeed (Who I'm assuming is an original character, I've never heard of him and he looks like Kid Flash) isn't in the Superdex
This is clearly an oversight. One that really shouldn't happen.
Sorry if I seem like I'm nitpicking, but an alpha is the EXACT time for nitpicks and problems to be pointed out. I hope you'll at least reply or take these into consideration for future versions.
Edit: Images wont display, so I've put them in the attachments in the order that they appear in my list. Sorry about that.
the face thing bugs me to death as well not just steve but any skin you wear I want to be the nightwing not obi wan kenobi or a dwarf cosplaying as nightwing which actually does stop me to a degree from using my favorite comic book character. Also can we please do something about characters like nightwing, deadpool, or any future characters who dual wield give them a way to dual wield the weapons battle gear animation fixes or at least a dual wield system for the mod
The video is showing the "floor model" for that particular shop. Each shop will have a random suit and a random (below normal) price for the suit. This is not the main way suit will be purchased but rather an alternative method where you can get a suit for less points than normal.
I'm not sure what you mean.
