Is there a master list of Emanation Points for launch?
What does this mean? I am also asking for a "friend".
Hi. I'm Hope.
Emanation points = firing points. A ranger shoots a beam of energy. It can come from his hands, his eyes, the center of his chest, his mouth. his shoulder kitty...
that is what I refer to when I say emanation points.
actually I didn't say that, my friend did...but you get the idea.

I feel pretty confident they won't miss many.
Except maybe the crotch....

I'm campaigning to have nostrils as an emination point. I kind of want the ability to shoot fire from my nose.
This is probably why they don't let me design animations????
Wait until you see the... nope, that would ruin the surprise.
Would be cool to pick costume points as well. For example: spikes on a helmet, fins on gloves, antennae, belt buckle (not crotch), etc....
I'm not a dev, but that may be a reality. The devs did say you could place a logo anywhere on a costume...

Emanation points are fixed. There are quite a few to choose from but you can’t make anything an emanation point

Can you comment on where they might be, or at least how many emanation points are currently [i]planned[/i] for launch?

This may be something reserved for an update. Sorry, you’ll have to salivate for a while longer.

One I WANT but am definitely not expecting/anticipating is emanation points in the air AROUND the avatar’s body. Laser blasts from the air around has always been a cool effect to me.

Did I see in a video, or in my mind, beams emanating from multiple points, converging several feet in front of the hero to form a single beam to hit the target? Is/Can there be 'team' versions of this? I.E crossing the streams ala Ghostbusters?
I'm not sure there's any such 'team moves', you'd have to cooperate with friends to have similar looking powers and activate them at the same time.
I wonder if the emanation point are linked to the power animation chosen.
I mean, chosing an emanation point as the forehead should not give access to a power animation which , for example, will make the forehead oriented to the sky isn't it ? Are, the list of power animation, the result of what we choose as emanation point ?
I think this update could give us lot's of explanation on how the aesthetics work together :)

If my understanding and memory is correct then emanation points will "filter" what animations can be chosen for that specific point. Also consider that "power animation" is separated into several parts like character animation, projectile animation, and particle effects.
OK, but can I use a different emanation point for every power I have?
Like I breath a gout of fire for FireBlast,
Point a finger for the BurningRay
eyes for the area of effect, Fire Cone
Stomp my feet for the CircleofFire
in other words, my whole body is a weapon. I perform a sort of combat dance of doom.

I believe you must have forgotten the orbiting, winged toasters (ala AfterDark) - or other objects hovering about... Those Toasters are* deadly emanation points.
Edit: *could be
Meh. Bah!

Be Well!

How about *ahem* _jet propulsion_ for flying? Maybe with a blue flame?
Or, maybe not...

I think that's plenty for launch
And a gigantic step up from CoH :))))

My understanding is, Yes.
The limitations I know of so far in regards to power aesthetics is that we will be limited to two props and two aesthetic themes (like fire, ice, and so on) but within those limitations you can make the powers as varied as you possibly can or want. No choice for a specific power will affect what you can choose for another specific power.
2 themes you choose + the default 'powerless' one which is pretty much 'whoosh lines'.
Those 3 themes can be spread across all your powers how you see fit.
Every move gets it's own choice of animation, AND you can color the same theme different ways for different powers. (example: Blue fire on melee slap, red fire on your damage aura)
This is all tied to costumes, so your other costumes can have completely different themes, props and animations.
This customization feature sounds incredible! I'm so on board with all of the details listed in this thread and can't wait to see what the finished results are.
If I understand it correctly, I could set up my Ranger with one costume of a police officer where all emanation points are the cop's sidearm or occasionally a heavier weapon like a shotgun or grenade; with a second costume where he's in an “Iron Man”-like Power Armor where he's using repulsor blasts from the palms of his gauntlets, pop-up shoulder missile launchers, and a helmet-mounted laser; and with a third costume where she's a witch with fairy familiars floating around her who do all of the attacking for her through bursts of elemental power.
That would appear to be the case, Dataweaver, yes.
An infinite number of tries doesn't mean that any one of those tries will succeed. I could flip an infinite number of pennies an infinite number of times and, barring genuine randomness, they will never come up "Waffles".
Thanks for the answer :)

I'll jump in here a bit late just to say that I'm glad that this one has already been suggested. It's definitely something I'd like to use for one of my characters.
