I would like to see some residential home maps and/or some sort of shopping mall ones.

A huge mega mall with a 2 level food court, an attached movie complex & some scenic views would be great.

It would be very cool to have a gang war power that raises an undead horde of zombies & malevolent ghosts.
Are there any other powers that use defeated enemies other than the Warshade Dark Extraction and Stygian Circle powers, and the pool power Victory Rush?

After seeing the Rico crime app on Westworld Season 3 I wished the villain newspaper worked more like that.
You can use a filter to pick the type of crime you're interested in (Theft, delivering contraband, roughing someone up, collecting bribes/payoffs, kidnappings, assassinations, etc..) & it then provides you with a long list of available crimes along with listing the payout you'll recieve for doing them (& the rep you'll get as well) or you can choose to see what's available nearby right now.
The app lets you know if its a solo job or if you need a team & puts together the team for you.
The app also lets you know if the task is limited time available (time crunch to complete) or more open ended (you can take your time to plan it out).
As you successfully complete tasks your rep goes up which opens up bigger & better jobs but also brings more heat (You move up the most wanted list).
In CoH terms more ambushes by law enforcement.

I wonder if there could a balance between the 2 playstyles (having all the pets out vs the players who summon only certain tiers (or no tiers)?
Have the MM direct attacks cost less if you have less pets outs.
It would have to work similar method to the Defender's Inherent Vigilance where the Defender gets a variable damage bonus based on team size; in this case the MM would get an variable endurance discount based on the number of pets the MM has out.
That would allow both playstyles to be viable options.

I would like to see redside access to the Shadow Shard, I'm surprised that Arachnos hasn't established a Firebase of their own there yet.
The Circle of Thorns & Nemesis both have bases there.
https://paragonwiki.com/wiki/Mage-Killer_Zuhkara#Stop_the_ceremony
https://paragonwiki.com/wiki/The_Dark_Watcher_(Primal_Earth)#Investigate_Nemesis_Base
Even more strange is fact that Black Scorpion tells you he has a portal conduit to the Shadow Shard set up for you in Nerva.
https://paragonwiki.com/wiki/Black_Scorpion#Investigate_Nemesis_Army_build-up_in_the_Shadow_Shard
Even Scirocco sends you there.

And Efficiency Expert Pither.
https://paragonwiki.com/wiki/Efficiency_Expert_Pither#Find_Olivia_Darque_.26_escape
And Technician Naylor has the coordinates for the Shadow Shard.
https://paragonwiki.com/wiki/Technician_Naylor#Bravo_for_the_Shadow_Shard_.2837-39.29
With that capability why hasn't Arachnos set up a base there yet?

For Shield users that use a weapon (Broad Sword, Battle Axe, War Mace), let us choose to use an animation where we block/deflect the attack with our weapon instead of using a Shield.

It depends on the goal.
If the goal is to help the Villain economy & the Strikeforce provides sufficient rewards, then no additional rewards are needed.
If the goal is to encourage players who normally only play hero content into playing through a few villain missions/storyarcs & getting them hooked on playing redside, then maybe.
The villain content may not be everyone's cup of tea, but after a few missions maybe some players might decide to stay to see what the rest of the content is like.
If that still doesn't hook them another idea I had (and this would be a huge task), Could all the contacts on redside be setup so that you either run the missions as normal (the writing would remain the same) or you run them as a undercover hero going through the missions trying to bring down the villain groups from within (same missions/storyarcs but written from a different angle with a different conclusion to some of the storyarcs)?

I also like the idea that if the Heroes win a Zone Invasion, then -they- get the 1 Hour Buff. Same deal; extra Merits from Safeguards.
Now, some of you may ask: "Well what's the point, then? Wasn't this meant to incentivize Redside?"
Fair concern, but here's the kicker: Redside players are still the ones who have to LAUNCH this. The whole thing is impossible without them. The incentive is still there.
While the Heroes would only get the 1 Hour Buff from winning the Zone Invasion, the Villains should get a Buff whether or not the Heroes succeed only because they had to launch the Invasion through the successful completion of the Strikeforce.
The Villains should get a longer time buff if the Heroes fail the Zone Invasion; and a shorter time buff if the Heroes win.

How about when the invasion event ends it hits everyone with a limited time zone-wide buff that generates increased reward drops for doing missions?
-
We already have zombie invasions triggered by TFs/SFs, If you complete the Katie Hannon TF, a random blue side zone is invaded by zombies. If you complete the Virgil Tarikoss SF, a random red side zone is invaded by zombies.
TFs/SFs that trigger invasions on the opposite side would be awesome, especially if triggers a random villain group invasion in a random zone on the other side.

I do miss having Galaxy City as alternate hero starter zone.
It never seemed to draw huge crowds the way Atlas always, not sure why.
I always thought that Galaxy City would have eventually been brought back revamped as a Level 50 Thru 53 zone with incarnate level threats.
Bonus points if they took the groups that used to be there on live & scaled them up into incarnate version threats.

Most of my own magi wouldn't use it, just because it would mean giving up their glowing eyes (Oranbegans gotta Oranbegan, yo.) but it would be a neat option for other people to have.
Some of the auras have in addition whatever the effect is (mist, glow, etc...) an option to also include the eye glow.
Maybe the spellbook aura could also include an option for an eye glow as well (for anyone who wants to choose that option).

Now I want a Sonic/Thermal Unipiper Corruptor unleashing his bagpipes of doom upon the Rogue Isles.

The core notions of building an entire Blast set based on (Gravity Control's) Propel assets is ... serious enough. And feels like a glaring omission.
Can the art assets of Propel be re-skinned to be translucent & slightly glowing to resemble something created from your mind (Mental Construct ala Psylocke/Green Lantern)?
Or Translucent with no glow.
And have every weapon from Weapon Customization as a projectile (also re-skinned to look the same as above).

Playing cards could be another option

In the future the art team could continue to add other items as weapon customizations.
Ring Blades/Chakrams as another possible customization

I don't think it'll be Scirocco because he's also a former Hero. Scirocco back story talks about how the power he holds keeps being reborn in a new host constantly switching from hero to villain. The current version happens to be a villain but he could be reborn as a hero again. And the Dark Astoria missions kinda show he has a more heroic side to him than most patrons and a desire to change so I really don't see him taking over.
Correct, the curse alternates so the person taking on the mantle of Scirocco becomes good or evil depending what the previous mantle wielder was; If the current Scirocco were to die & then subsequently resurrected, would the curse flip him to being good?

Speaking of alternate versions of Statesman, in the NCSoft game MxM they had Emperor Cole (Tyrant) remorseful over his actions & the massive loss of life he has caused & was now traveling to other worlds looking for some way to redeem himself.
I wonder if the Homecoming devs will use that in any way.
Alternate timeline/parallel earth Statesman is a great idea, but before we introduce yet another version of Cole, I first would first like to see on one of these multitude of alternate earths someone who found Well long before Marcus Cole or Recluse.
It would be cool if its a woman; Ms. Liberty is powerful but nowhere near as powerful as either of them; & someone different other than a parallel version of Lady Grey would be a welcome addition.

Leave Ms. Liberty in Independence Port handling the Ms. Liberty Task Force; replace the Ms. Liberty in Atlas with (a newly cured) Hero 1.

New Costume Pieces Request
in Art & Multimedia
Posted · Edited by Shadowsleuth
Flower crowns for female characters (the type you see at weddings) with the option to wear different hair styles with it (short hair, long hair, braided, & hair up) and be able to color the hair separate from the flowers, & have different versions of flowers (or at least be able to use 3 or 4 colors on the flowers).
Also a more fantasy versions of the flower crown with branches either straight up or back, with or without nature life on it (birds, butterflys, squirrels, etc...), with or without glow on it.
And be able to wear a variety of hairstyles with the fantasy flower crowns as well.
Also have a barren or dead branches version as well.
