Awesome.
It says a bit of true, we always want more, but that is about.
Fun and well done. -

So, since I am either not witty enough or just to sick to try to play a real April Fools Joke on every one I made this up instead I hope it gets a few laughs :P

Quote:honestly I'd like to see a new set of wings in this regard, something where when the wings fold they lay over the shoulders like a cape. I'd like to see these in a bird and bat form.Originally Posted by Willowpaw
I think one of the biggest oopses of the Animal pack is the lack of wings to go with the bird heads (tail feathers is a shortfall too, but wings is a bigger issue.)
As it stands now, newcomers who buy the animal pack in hopes of making a cool eagle or crow, or whatever bird character have to either purchase the Valkyrie pack (not the best option, since those seem more like metal wings than feathery bird wings) or wait 18 months for the vet reward wings.
So, I would propose that either some new wings be retroactively added to the pack or go ahead and change the 18 month vet reward to something else and make the angel (and demon) wings available to everyone from the get-go. -

Let's get some aquatic animal stuff as well
Moray Eel head and animated tail
Shark Head
Shark Fin for the back
Shark animated tail
Dolphin Head with animated blow hole
Dolphin Fin
Dolphin animated tail
Squid Head
Tentacle Arms
Dinosaur Heads
Dinosaur animated tails some with spikes
Dinosaur armoured plates
And how about moving some of the current head/chest details into their own categories cuz I'd love to have a chest symbol on some characters as well as chains/barbed wire, and I'd love to have a beard and a cigar, or Horns and Sunglasses. Just to give a few examples.
Edit: Oh and Insect Heads.
but thanks for adding ^_^ -
Quote:the arachnos helms are one of the few costume pieces that SHOULD be a vet reward, and NOT avalable to every one, the reason for my saying that is simple... in order to get JUST ONE previous to the vet reward system you would have had to preorder CoV (the original release) from I believe 1 of 4 retailers, Best Buy, Game stop, Software etc and I think circut city (not sure on the last one) so in order to have them all you'd have to have pre ordered in 4 spots so as some one who did pre order and paid $50 for Cov when IT FIRST came out I feel I did something to earn them and ergo should not just be a free to every one piece... That said I would not be opposed to a booster with the helms as well as the power silde and the arachnos cape and chest symbol (not the gay one we ge as avet reward but the real one you got in the dvd edition) that came with the CoV DVD collectors edition for like $6-$10...Originally Posted by Noyjitat
Having to wait months to unlock costume pieces was a bad idea to begin with. Without there being some sort of way to unlock them ingame earlier anyway. I think right now you have to wait 50ish months just to get those arachnos helmets.

true it might require some new animations but this is what I propose, Just make an alternate animation set and make it such that the finger claws (which you could make several versions of) lock out the original giving you only new animations and of course vise versa (or allow people to choose with the none finger but I dunno), not only that but if it could be done w/o breaking any copy rights you could do a pair for between the knuckles.
So to make it worth making a new set of animations (even if only modifying the exsisting ones to have spread fingers rather then a balled up fist) here is a list of claw types I can think of
Cat Claws (3 versions catwoman like claws mounted on a glove which could be achived by a no claw option and just be a glove option, from finger tips and "fingernail extention)
Dragon Claws
Bird Tallons
Razor fingers (not unlike Marvel's Lady Deathstrike, the Humonculous Lust from Fullmetal Alchemist or cyblade from Image's Cyber force)
Large Finger claws (kind of like Ripclaw from cyber force) -

Quote:This Might work.. at first I wasthinking it wouldn't cayse the usuall do a shout for it but if they made it an indoor area like the arena so that you don't have to load in to a new spot that would work it would isolate the contest chatter from the other broadcast chatterOriginally Posted by Mortimer_NA
I have been thinking about this for a while now. One of the things I love about this game is the great diversity in Costumes. The devs have done a great job in making sure my hero doesn't look like your hero or the guy's over there. We have such an abundant array of costume peices that one of the events that naturally arose were Costume Contests. I love these player run events. To see so many individuals show up and show off is exciting for many. However, there are logistical issues with hosting large CCs. When in a zone such as Atlas Park or Galaxy City, small things like lighting and Zone Population can hinder the organization of one. Hosting in a base is nice but the issue comes from having to make sure that you have enough Supergroup members to host the teams if the CC gets to large.
So my suggestion:
Create a dedicated Map for Costume Contests.
1. This can allow for optimal lighting at all times.
2. We can have a catwalk of some sort for players to strut their stuff.
3. The judges can have a spot to sit and render their judgements. -
Quote:thank you my point exactly just SOME options and a female option for humaniod "pets" is not asking a **** ton the game already has everything it needs for them. I am not asking for princess Leah in her slave girl outfit I am asking for GI jane :POriginally Posted by starphoenix
There are already female pets in game. 4 females from the Soul Mastery PPP and 4 females from the Lore slot. There is also the Amy Ward temp power. As long as the costume options are limited enough to not allow the female pets to look like slaves or prostitutes, then there is no problem. There is a problem with not allowing female pets. It is called Gender Discrimination. Just the other day my Ninja Mastermind had to deal with a protest from female ninjas. He told them, he could do anything about it and redirected them to the Ninja Employment Center.
I would like generic styles for henchmen like the choice between regular ninjas or cyber ninjas or the choice between steampunk robots and regular robots. I am not asking for full customization, but the ability to choose from different models. -
Quote:let me point out a few other things at one point people said we won't ever have starting with customized colors on powers, day jobm anything beyond lvl 50 (behold the incarnate system)!Originally Posted by OneWhoBinds
Female pets are never going to happen.
Get over it.
I am sooooooo tired of naysayers who think we can't have things..we absolutley CAN have female pets.
in the future rather then just leaving one liners stating "NO you can't have that" either realy contibute (even if its an explanation as to why we can't) rather then just being the empty voice of no
I am not agains generic alternatives but with out posting a billion pics showing alternatives to the current robots or demons its kinda hard...keep in mind these are just a few ideas, If and more likely WHEN they give us alternative pet options (btw pet seems a bit demeaning when it come to human MM minions...) I wouldn't expect to get all, most even any of my ideas... the point here is some alternative pets would be nice (even just one)Quote:I'd much rather have alternative generic pets rather than have them drawn from specific enemy groups. Not that I dislike the in-game groups (I currently have characters inspired by Longbow, by Crey, Hellions, the Destroyers... probably others I'm forgetting) but I feel that if we finally get true MM pet customisation it would be too concept limiting. It would work great for a few concepts, but it wouldn't work at all for too many others.
(See the discussions about Lore pets for why this is a Bad Thing)
I'd like sharp suited thugs as a choice for my MMs; modern day style zombies; steampunk robots; mercs that looked like anything other than what we have just now... just for starters.
Female pets? Eh... not going to get into that debate again... -
oh I am not saying all of these things for people who just bought the pack, the claws and alternate sounds for example could be for every one , these are more suggestions of things that I would like to see that would help complete the feel of the animals.
-
I love let me repeat love the animal pack how ever I have a few ideas to improve them a bit (not counting adding more animal types :P)
1st Animal head options for Hood, Hats and helms
2nd finger claws for claw weapons (yes I know its been said but ad me to the list)
3rd Tiger stripes for the cat tail
4th Bird screech options for sonic powers (the howl really doesn't fit big heads)
5th wings attached to arms (Bat and Bird especially)
6th wings that fold down over shoulders to form a cape
7th head options like shades and goggles -
Many Power Pools where Player sugestions (shields comes to mind)
as well as costume pieces (IE the animal pack)
Making the Costume items that came with the GR master Collection ava;able as an item pack
The CoH team has been great about listening to the players and trying to give us as many things we ask for as they can

Quote:thank you for pointing this out for the 3rd or fourth time, and I have even said that I am greatful for it I just think its odd that the 45 and 69 month both have only a respec... please before you add to a thread read through it so you avoid sounding like a parrotOriginally Posted by Sharker Quint I
I'm going to stir up the pot a little with this: Why ***** about something that is given to us as an act of appriciation for continually playing a game? The devs don't have to give us vet rewards.
-
Before any one jumps all over me I know something like this has probably been posted before infact I think I amde a few suggestions some time ago... if ya don't like it sue me!
any way I'd like to see master mind pets get some basic options:
All Sets should get the 2 color treatment option (though some pets like the zombie horde on the shorst would be affected by color option the shorts would alternate your 2 chose colors)
Mercenaries, Necromancy, Ninjas & Thugs should get Male and Female options like this
T1:
Male
Female
2 Male 1 Female
2 Female 1 Male
Random Mix
T2:
Male
Female
One Male One Female
Random
T3:
Male
Female
Random
some of the special options would be as follows:
for Necromancy's Soul Extraction: Soul matches gender of host
For Gang War:
All Male
All Female
Mix
The other options I think should be as follows:
Necromancy-
for Lich Hood down option
for Grave knight - Roman, Martial arts warrior, and Samurai options
Mercs-
Classic Camo, Modern Army Camo, longbow, Malta/ knives of artamis, and vanguard (note no council /fifth Column or arachnos: this is cause there is no defaullt template for female Fifth/Council soldiers and out side of widows and the soldiers made by players no female arachnos soldiers.
Ninjas-
Samurai, Kung fu (gi no masks), Tsoo
Robotics-
Fifth Column/ Council, Clocks, Praetorian Clocks/ War walkers, Nemesis (maybe)
(note no arachnos due to EATs)
Thugs-
Hellions, PPD/RIP officers, Resistance, syndicate, demolishers (note no Skulz, Family, or Praetorian police due to the lack of female operatives in presets)
Demons-
CoT demons
(note: any options I left out due to gender issues I'd not object to them makeing fmale map for and adding also these are just options I could think of)
also I'd like to have the option of turning on or off having your symbol on your pets some place -
Quote:sure do, doesn't change the fact that months 45 and 69 aren't rather conspicuous... or seem to have kept you from saying something that was said at least one other time alreadyOriginally Posted by BrandX
Remember when we didn't have any vet rewards?

Quote:I noticed it cause I just hit 63 months so I was looking at what I had to look forward to and honestly 45 months probably should get more then just a respec as wellOriginally Posted by Blue Rabbit
Yes, and unless the link was broken, it should have been pointing to the 45 months reward which is exactly the same thing. So it's not exactly a new pattern of behaviour reward wise. I just find it odd that you're complaining about the 69 months one but chose to bypass the 45 months one. Especially since more people are likely to achieve 45 months than 69 months.
-
Quote:your link means nothing it still shows that on the 69 month reward that all is awarded is JUST A RESPEC...Originally Posted by Blue Rabbit
as I have said about 3 or 4 times my argument is based on the idea that every other month then 69 (and as was pointed out 45) that gives a respec gives the respec AND something else...
Jet packs bad Idea...fine
how about a respec and 4 incarnate shards
or
a respec and free tailor token
or
respec token and a mission transporter power (for those of us with the mac item pack a second one ...I wouldn't mind a second one) -
Quote:I waited... I think they can too... honestly though in the end if they made like the boxing gloves available to every one, if I got a new reward in its place I'd be cool with it...Originally Posted by Vox Populi
You have it backwards. Everyone in this thread who suggested unlocking vet reward costume pieces for everyone has played for years. We get nothing out of it.
The problem with the vet costume pieces is they're completely arbitrary. Telling a new player they have to wait three years for a pair of boxing gloves is just silly.
in the end my point is month 69 needs more then just a respec token (and evidently so does 45)... I suggested jet packs (which in retrospec was maybe a bad idea :P) cause I felt that if I was going to complain about something I should offer a solution (I get annoyed when people ***** and moan but don't try and think of a way to fix things... pet peeve), even if it turned out to be a bad one -
there is nothing saying that some jet packs could be available to all and others as a vet reward and have no issue with costume pieces being a vet reward (especially seeing as lately if they aren't a vet reward they are a booster pack), honestly all the wining about "the other vet reward costume pieces should be for every one" bugs me, sure I'd be fine with every one getting say 1 of the 4 samurai designs and then having to earn the rest or w/e or even hell making the vet reward costume pieces earnable by in game play (that way it boils down to one or the other, if you arer willing to wait for the vet reward okay if you wanna go kill 200 tsoo spirits and 300 Tsoo minions to get the samurai costumes cool) but honestly this "I want it all and I want it now" mentality is sickening... what ever happened to earning things?

Quote:both the Ghouls and the Seers are a more or less a product of scientific experimentation as far as the praetorian story line goes ... so as far as limiting them to one origin like in my example that is why I chose science keeping in mind I was following the pattern of the other EATs having a single origin as wellOriginally Posted by Samuel_Tow
I've read this three times over and I still have no idea what you're saying. I can kind of follow a train of though, but I haven't the foggiest clue as to what argument you're actually making.
-
Quote:yea to extent they have done little more then make origins be part of a character bio and the origins have very little to o with game play thayt said the tother EATs have had a fixed origin and in the case of what I have come up with science created both types of people. Its really that simpleOriginally Posted by Samuel_Tow
I still don't see a point to making origins matter more without enforcing MUCH stricter definitions as to WHAT they actually matter. There's no point in attaching a pointless minigame to making origins matter more unless you expand on the conceptual idea behind origins, and you can't do that without assuming too much about a character.
So far, I have a natural demon, a technological magician, a mutation alien, a scientific construct which was not created by sentient minds and so on and so forth. Trying to impose any meaning to origins would render those errant, which I would not appreciate. Trying to impose meaning to origins which would include those would render a great many other concepts errant. Trying to impose meaning to origins which is inclusive of all possibilities is so broad as to be meaningless, itself.
This is like trying to make hair colour more meaningful by giving gingers more damage, brunettes more intelligence and blonds more luck. It's needlessly arbitrary, needlessly exclusive and needlessly needless.
