Player2

Feel free to add your own random ideas. I try to keep my thoughts focused on what's more easily accomplished with current in-game assets because although the sky is the limit when it comes to wishing for stuff to have, the easier it would be to accomplish something the better your odds of seeing it someday.

Upper Body -> Gloves -> Wrist Computer Okay, not this display specifically, but you get the idea... something like this over type of one of the existing bracer options that we have. There are a number of powers where it animates our characters tapping on a wrist computer, complete with digital beeping sounds, as the power activates. Something like this would allow those powers to make sense. or...

I'm reminded of that episode of Archer where he's in Krieger's home lab and points out what looks like a skin suit and Krieger tells him it's a neoprene wetsuit (because he's a diver), and Archer comments on it being flesh-colored. But really, what's the difference if there's skin color on the chest and leg options? How's that make a difference when people can make characters look like their skin is any other color and be completely that color from head to toe? All one needs to do is set a desired full tights costume color and select the same for face with the "All" mask option. But having a body be any color skin tone doesn't matter because there's no detail that goes along with the illusion... no nipples or genitalia, just smooth featureless body parts.

Super Strength needs a buff. The Rage takes all the fun out of it. Without using Rage, the set it weak and less effective than other sets which have additional effects to them. SS has a highly resisted damage type and weak secondary effects (aside from Knockout Blow's knock up & disorient). I'm not even of the opinion that we should ditch Rage and get Build Up like other melee sets. I think it should be removed entirely and give something else entirely in its place, while also buffing the overall base damage of the set to bring it in line with other sets without needing a buff that makes you temporarily weak and easier to hit. Maybe replace it with a Light damage attack that also applies a heavy -Recovery debuff to the target, like you're knocking the wind out of them and they're having trouble catching their breath but aren't completely helpless. I just want to add that rage as a power is not thematically iconic to super strength... only to the Hulk (and ripoffs of him). Superman, Thor, and most other super strength characters stay at their peak strength all the time without needing to rage and rest and repeat. Hulk-like raging should belong to brutes. Why not revamp Fury so that after it peaks, you only maintain it for a brief time and then crash --regardless of what powerset you have. Gimp the proper AT, not the wrong power set.

Head -> Detail 1 -> Gag Glasses Add a nose, mustache, and eyebrows to the basic Sunglasses piece and add it as one combined mask for a comedic disguise. Eye brows could be repurposed mustache hair attached at the top of the glasses. For additional "realism," make the only thing tintable be the nose.

Head -> Special Helmets -> Television Put it under special helmets where you wouldn't have to worry about other details clipping and clashing with it.

Head -> Detail 1 -> Arrow Come on, this would be great for jester type heroes as well as our zombie friends and the occasional brainless immortal.

We have one quiver available to us, and unless we have a skintight top that allows for chest detail straps to go with it, the quiver just magically sticks to our characters' backs. Could we maybe get a quiver with the strap over the chest like on the duffel bag full of money? Could we also maybe have a quiver that is one color with arrows / fletching that uses the second color, or maybe arrows that don't change and actually look the same color as the ones we shoot? The current quiver always irritates me that the bottom color matches the fletching on the arrows. And finally, here's an idea for a new quiver option: female boot

I see the beginnings of Autumn in Atlas Park with leaves on trees changing colors, and eventually winter will get here and Atlas Park will be covered in snow and holiday cheer... while every other zone pretty much looks the same other than stray Christmas presents dropped all over the city. Do the war walls allow for controlling the weather throughout the city but they let the snow in Atlas Park to create a festive environment? I'm not asking for full zone revamps or anything, but it would be nice if during the winter even we could see flurries in other zones with some changes, such as grassy areas covered in snow and more icy areas. It just seems so jarring that AP is in a state of constant snow and the rest of the city will be sunny and clear.

...or a skin-colored demon tail... or bat wings. So many limitations.

I never understood why the use of multiple palettes for different effects. Skin gets a palette, costumes get a palette, powers get a number of different palettes (light, dark, ice colors, etc). Just want one big palette so I can make a black ice patches or blood-colored rain or whatever else... no limitations on our creativity.

Very nice. And so it has inspired me. Behold: Alien Emissary Energy Blast / Atomic Manipulation Blaster

Most anticipated concept for me in this whole idea is being able to combine halos with other auras. Always hated that I couldn't get glowing eyes with my angelic halo... or any kind of flaming aura (aside from the path aura) with the evil halo.

In anticipation of Issue 27 and Energy Melee scrappers, I grabbed the name Alpha Man on Torchbearer.

While we're looking at costumer creator revamps, could we maybe also consider Head Detail 1 and 2 getting an option similar to the asymmetrical gloves and boots but instead of splitting things in half by sides, just give us the option to have 2 whole pieces from Detail 1 and Detail 2? I mean, I have winter themed ice blaster with ear muffs, but that means I cannot equip sun glasses or goggles for going skiing on the slopes (and where ever else ice appears) without losing the ear muffs. Cybernetic eyes? No demon horns for you. Mustache? No cigar. Bubble Helmet? You must be clean-shaven. Retro-SciFi antennae thing? Definitely no goggles. Also, I'm really stoked about the idea of more auras and a greater diversity in the color palette.

I don't think I see more player interaction & cooperative play than at Halloween with trick or treating and giant monster fights, so I would be all in favor of seeing more event style content.

Here's one I considered but did not make... The name is available on Torchbearer (or on Excelsior as Winter Wonder-Man), so if anyone wants to take the design or concept and run with it, feel free.

Commander Vee is simply amazing.

I would also like to see the hearts effect from the Valentines Day arrows made available as an aura.

Thunderblade Electric Blast / Ninja Training Blaster

I have about 400 characters... 130 of which are level 25 or higher, and 7 of those are incarnates (only one of which is completely maxed out with T4 incarnate powers). But yes, I play them. 😎

Pretty Strong Guy Willpower / Super Strength Tanker He'll be a Rage-less SS tanker.

Chaos Orb Illusion Control / Sonic Resonance Controller

Blood-Soaked Slayer Titan Weapon / Bio Armor Scrapper Her preference is the chainsaw.

Not Thor (aka Godstorm) Electric Melee / Bio Armor Brute
