So, now that 'Mini-mode' is a thing, you're going to let us create characters under 4ft tall, right? Right?!

Srsly, I've wanted to create a pixie-sized character since before CoH launched. Even if you can't let us go as small as 'mini-mode' characters, or let us use them in PVP, please, PLEASE, let us create shorter character with proportional-sized (i.e.: not gigantic for the body) heads.

Players:  Please let us use mini-me avatars in gameplay!

 

Devs: Fine, but we're doubling the size of their hitboxes.

Wouldn't they have to anyway?  Make their hitboxes the size of Force Bubble.

I have the same reaction with some regular size characters. The fix is simple - "So don't look at them."

Wait, wait!

 

Someone summon @Snarky

If they are vomiting blood it is most likely too late. If mortal  they have an extreme disorder.  And who really gives a shit enough to fix it

 

If a vampire is vomiting blood something really neat is about to happen!  Someone film this

Also Devs:  Unless you're a tanker, in which case we are making your hitbox one square pixel.  And since we haven't done this in awhile, let's double the range of all your powers.

If someone posts a reply quoting me and I don't reply, they may be on ignore.

(It seems I'm involved with so much at this point that I may not be able to easily retrieve access to all the notifications)

Some players know that I have them on ignore and are likely to make posts knowing that is the case.

But the fact that I have them on ignore won't stop some of them from bullying and harassing people, because some of them love to do it. There is a group that have banded together to target forum posters they don't like. They think that this behavior is acceptable.

Ignore (in the forums) and /ignore (in-game) are tools to improve your gaming experience. Don't feel bad about using them.

I felt the same way, but there's a couple of ones in the ongoing costume thread that it really works for.  I won't say it's going to work for most toons, so vomit blood away, I'll be there with you, but for those few?  it's great.

it would be nice to have some kind of option somewhere on each character whether to miniaturize the head when in mini-me mode. TinkerBell looks pretty stupid with an enormous head, but she'd be just about perfect with a proportional one.

 

Or maybe offer two costume options, one with large head and one with proportional head. If I had known it would be this goofy-looking I probably wouldn't have spent the 250 Aether on this.

Which is basically true of most of the interesting costume pieces.

 

Except random belts of pouches.  Every character looks better with lots of random belts of pouches scattered around their costume.

If you're unsure of something in the future, try copying your character over to the Beta server where everything is free. You can get as many Prismatic Aether Particles as your heart desires to try out all the costumes before you purchase them on the live servers. 

 

That helpful hint aside, can't you manipulate the head slider to make the character head smaller?

I've suggested (seriously) many times in many games the option to /ignorecostume  a person that generic's them into a phantom ghost on your screen.  I would use these for costumes I deem inappropriate, but others could use them however they wish.
