Domination?

[TheKay]

Years ago when homecoming started, I know it wasn't on priority list to allow many of the customization options we have today. And about three years ago I made a post asking for this and people just shrugged it off as non important. 

 

But now I've returned to Homecoming and I'm lowkey disappointed that even badge powers have customization and no-fx options but domination is still the same rainbow blur that clashes with pretty much any costume and powerset. 

 

Is it a programing impossibility because it's an inherent to an AT? I legit have no clue how hard/easy it is to implement things like this. But I would -really- love if doms finally could change domination colors or.. at the very least, just have a no-fx option for it. Even job powers and some powers you rarely see on your character have gotten customization options, and domination is just a constant thing on your character by end game. 

 

I hope to see it or at least someone to tell me it can't be done due how the programing for it works.

I gave you a heart, it's worth thinking about at least.  Besides powering up, perhaps some dark-types want to sort of sink lower or something?  Dark gathers from beneath, sort of thing I think.  Then there could be other stances too for the power.  The Tarzan yell from Tough (Fighting) might work for some concepts, and also maybe a magical type flourish perhaps Translocation from Sorcery.

 

Also would be cool to allow a costume change emote and auto costume change (have to pick the slot at the tailor).  I've got at least one dom that should "transform" when going domi now that I think about it.

I know @Snarky would at the very least love being able to choose minimal FX. And if (s)he/they could choose something else (like souls pleading to be released or a victim to sink his/her/their fangs in), I'm sure we'd have an actually happy vampire on our hands.

 

(Edit: Wait, I know an enraged vampire on our hands is a bad thing, but would a happy vampire be any better, or at least safer, to deal with?)

I don't particularly enjoy playing a dominator. It's been hit or miss for me more than once. But the one thing I'd love to see is the domination power that I put on auto-fire - that should certainly look like something. I don't know what, but not just a grey button.

Yes please let us customize it. Just adding a bright or dark theme would be useful enough I think. Maybe just add options similar to the teleport ones, especially since someone mentioned Translocation, since I've had a good time making the teleports match literally any kind of concept I could ever want. Maybe just literally use all the teleport and translocation themes for it and it'll be good. I would be happy with just the bright or dark themes or Rikti theme for my mutant dominators but maybe let's add the translocation theme while we're at it for a spellcaster dominator since those are common too and the teleport themes I think already have options like souls and bats and what have you for vampires which are magic but probably really don't want the cast-a-spell theme. So just use teleport options is my vote, since those are already broad enough for magic, biological freaks, cyber-freaks, elemental powers, living shadows, no effects because you're Natural origin and you just make people run over tripwires and shoot at them with guns as your Dominator powers, basically anything you could want.
