You are the mastermind. Be the mastermind. You really do have to think for your pets, and if they start doing something you don't like --such as chasing off after a runner, then you as the mastermind have to reign them in.

Original animation isn't possible anymore. They can give options for animations, but they all have to be the same duration. Original Storm Kick animation was *much* longer than the current one, so is not compatible anymore. If the original storm kick animation is still present in the game, then I don't see why it couldn't be made into an alternate option for Flurry in power customization.

I'm not a fan of those. Would prefer something that offered the same style of play with more diversity in how you attack than shoot gun & smash w/mace.

I really don't care what they call it... Issue 26 or Volume 2 or City of Heroes: Episode 47 - You Got Your Game Back

Here's a short list of some (of what I would hope are) easy add ins: Jewelry: Necklace, under either (or both) Female -> Head -> Detail 2 (because it's a neck option like the Gunslinger 1 or Gunslinger 2) or Upper Body -> Shoulders (like Spiked Collar, Neck Chain, or Neck Chain Heavy) The Neck Chain option also lets you select chain or barbed wire. What I'm thinking is a plain, thin necklace chain rather than a heavy can-tow-a-car chain... and it could have options to have nothing attached, a disk-shaped amulet, a jewel, or military style dog tags. Lots of room here actually for what could be on the end of a necklace like this. Bracelet(s), options for Right hand only, left hand only, and both hands with actual bracelets being one a few different choices: - Friendship bracelets (make a two-tone weave, but since costume pieces showing skin, like a bare hand with a bracelet on it) typically can have only one color option, make one of the colors a baked in (like the buckles on the Male -> Boots -> Victorian Steampunk) as white and the player can select the other color. Optionally, also have gloved and ungloved versions. - Thin piece strip of decorative metal - Hospital wristband (those things are indestructible!!) - Heavy chain to match the neck chain Earrings, under Head -> Detail 1 and/or Detail 2 (both maybe for layering) with a couple simple shapes (circle, triangle, whatever) and a couple more that hang (feathers, hoops, and a dangling gem). Also, each should be selectable as Right, Left, or Both... so the list would look like: - Earring, Stud (Left) - Earring, Stud (Right) - Earring, Stud (Both) - Earring, Hoop (Left) - Earring, Hoop (Right) - Earring, Hoop (Both) - Earring, Feather (Left) - Earring, Feather (Right) - Earring, Feather (Both) Okay, so that's a 9 options for 3 different items... maybe we don't need as many variations as I initially suggested. Just 3 basics with different placement options. Brass Knuckles Is that really jewelry? Meh... as a glove option, though, some colorable "Brass" knuckles that have Glove and Skin options. Moving past jewelry, how about taking various existing costume pieces and giving us glowing/pulsating bits like the Celestial Armor or Fire and Ice pieces? I think a number of the existing Tech pieces could benefit from having some lit up bits and pieces in them. The Chest Detail -> Ring has options for Basic and Jewel... could we not also get a brightly lit or glowing jewel? Same thing on the buckle of Belt -> Jewel. I'm sure there are lots of other places others could come up with for adding in some illuminated pieces using existing costumes pieces as the base.

Here's something that bugged me way back when. I pointed out the sneakers with and without socks option to the developers and asked if we could get something like that for "glove" options for various pieces, specifically the bracers (of which there were 3 different sets), as well as the smaller glove options. Basically I wanted to have the standard that we already have with skin plus an option "with Tights." It always seemed kind of immersion breaking that if you wanted to have the long sleeves and short gloves bracers, nope... you were stuck with tight 3/4 sleeves that ended before the bracers. One of the devs said it's just the way it was and they couldn't do anything about it. So now, perusing all of the unlocked costume options that we have, I see there's Roman Vambraces with options for Glove or Skin, and same on the male choices of Barbarian Iron and Barbarian Ring. The glove option, of course, extending right up to where the tights sleeve ends and blending perfectly with it. So clearly we were lied to, and I suspect because they never gave us exactly what we asked for. It was always, "We want [insert idea]," and if there was enough traction behind it they would eventually reveal new costume pieces that may fit the idea that was asked for... but different. Can't give us exactly what we want because that might start a bad precedent that could lead to more and more demands for specific items. But really, is it too much to ask for to have the the Dragon Bracers, Cloud Bracers, and Wristbands have glove and skin options? Likewise for Small Gloves having skin and sleeve options, as well as for footwear pieces. Also, if more than two options are possible (and the Retro pieces showing normal, shiny, and glowing would seem to indicate that it is indeed possible), why not have skin, Glove, and Tights Sleek options? While I would also love to see this extended to give the Spectrum skin/texture, I know that's not possible because Spectrum relies on having two colors and then the glove/bracer/shoe/whatever would be a third color. But those other pieces should be only as difficult as finding someone to combine the tights and tights sleek textures with the various costume pieces, and then it becomes an issue of coding them in as options under the original pieces. Pieces that need this attention: Gloves -> Sleeves (we have open sleeves with glove or ungloved that both match up with tights, but no option that matches up with Tights Sleek) Gloves -> Cloud Bracer Gloves -> Dragon Bracer Gloves -> Wristbands Gloves -> Small Pointed Glove Gloves -> Small Flared Glove Gloves -> Small Padded Glove Gloves -> Tied Gloves -> Talons Straps Gloves -> Talons Armor (needs skin option) Boots -> Sneakers Boots -> Sandals Boots -> Slip On 1 Boots -> Slip On 2 Boots -> Bridal Heel (females only) Boots -> Strappy (females only) Boots -> Strapped Heels (females only) Boots -> Hellenic Sandals Boots -> Roman Sandals As a bonus QOL feature, while I'm on the subject of bracers and wristbands, could we maybe get some tech-themed wristbands so that those who have animations that look like they're tapping some kind of buttons on their wrist actually have something to be tapping at? Additional request: Can we get another Retro SciFi Gloves option that is just the rings (glowing and not glowing options) over bare skin? We can do that with shoulder rings as well as bare biceps, but can't have rings over bare wrists or forearms... must have gloves or no rings. :(

That would be a good choice.

You find balls to be frustrating?

I disagree. I would rather have the assault set on my fire/fire sentinel, but if they introduced both blast & assault sets, then I would have to start over from scratch because one cannot respec into a new powerset.

Model the water blast set after the other Dominator secondaries, replacing with a couple of melee attacks from another set... and just add the tidal force stuff to the melee attacks and splash effects to the power animation.

Is there any way we could get the spectrum pieces added for Female -> Chest and Female -> Gloves in the Shirts and Jackets categories? Not sure if this is also a problem for male characters, but I can't see a reason for them not to be there.

You want a regen tank, I want an energy melee scrapper. 8)

Likewise, "front cape" loin cloths off of belts to go with our "butt capes." We were told that this wasn't an option for players even though a certain NPC seems capable of it.

With the addition of power customization to power pools, wouldn't it be possible to add each of the flight poses as alternate options in power customization screen?

I was going to start a headless costume piece suggestion thread as our options are pretty limited at the moment (no head, skull, and orb). I think The Lost TV helmet would work as an option here. I mean, it'd be nice to have it as an actual helmet, too... but I think it would be funny to see that head in a TV set floating over the body of a character.

The old Storm Kick was a slow animation, like the Flurry attack in the speed pool. Perhaps it could be brought back as an alternate animation for Flurry? The blaster secondary set also has a new Storm Kick option under Martial Combat that looks similar to the Martial Arts version of Storm Kick. I would love to see both animations as options for both powersets.

50 to 100 characters to start with... if you don't playing on multiple shards. Personally, I prefer to stick with one main shard, and an alternate in case that one goes down for any reason. I want my 50 to 100 characters where I know people who are playing so I can join them with whichever of my characters that I choose. And the alternate shard I'll keep 5 to 10 characters on hand for a little diversity. So no, I don't like your idea. Sorry. The current system is acceptable to me.

More powerset proliferation all around. Here's a few that have escaped, and I'd like to see proliferated. I'll bet we can figure out a few others that aren't coming to my mind at the moment. Brutes -> Ninjitsu Dominators -> Illusion Control Scrappers -> Energy Melee Scrappers -> Super Strength Stalkers -> Super Strength Stalkers -> Titan Weapons Tankers -> Energy Armor Tankers -> Ninjitsu

It was asked before when weapon customization was still shiny and new, but could we have the Ghost Slaying Axe as a full time weapon selection choice for the battle axe set so it wouldn't look like we're switching weapons when actually using the Ghost Slaying Axe power? I'm not asking for the benefit of the extra damage against undead, just the weapon look. While we're at it, could we also maybe get the Nemesis Staff as a weapon option for the titan weapon powerset? Would love to beat people over the head with that. Maybe also the Blackwand as an option for war mace?

That's not bad. Can't recall, was Illusion proliferated to Doms? Because if so I'd go Ill/Energy Dom. No illusion for doms, sadly.

We must have these. Someone get to work on it immediately.

Nope.

There is a workaround to getting what you want. When you use the cosmetic surgeon to change your body type, you still retain those pronoun references tied to your original body type. For example, I had a huge axe/willpower brute back in the day and I wasn't overly thrilled with the concept. Instead of deleting and rerolling, I took advantage of the newly introduced cosmetic surgeon option which allowed changing height and body type. Later, in game, I found that the new female character was referred to in that mission text still as a "he". So basically choose the gender with the pronoun you want at start, then visit the Icon cosmetic surgeon and change body types. You can be a masculine or huge body type referred to as "she" or a feminine type referred to as "he" to your heart's content.

Agreed. No hateful stuff, no blatant sexually explicit stuff. Double entendres are fine, and if you've been a parent and watched old cartoons with your kids, you know that even they occasionally managed to squeeze in some adult humor that would go over the young'uns heads. Clever is not only fine, it should be encouraged.
