Hey all, I've been playing city of heroes for a total of 4 years now, clearly i've enjoyed my time immensley.
I appreciate the fact that you have continually updated the game, and improved on it greatly. During the time i've played, there have been a few things that could be added and also theres a need for improvment on somethings.
In this post i would like to express my views on this matter:
Power sets
My first suggestion would be to allow players to choose the colors of their powers. For example, say if a player chose energy melee and fire defence, he could then decide wich color he would like them to be. So they could have blue energy melee and green fire defence. This of course would apply to all powersets. The reason behind this is that i and many others feel that we dont want to play certain powersets due to our disslike of that certain colour. In addition to this i also find that i'm limited when chosing a costume for certain characters, due to the fact that some costume pieces and colors sometimes clash with the color of certain powersets.
Lastly this will enable players to be more individual and enjoy their characters to the full.
I would now like to re-open the issue concerning the water powers, i have read before that the reason you gave for not being able to create a water based powerset that there was some complications and so NCsoft was unable to create it. However it has come to my attention that the Villain Patron powers include the Mako powerset which is clearly water based. Therfore if a few additions where made a water based power set could EASILY be created.
Costumes
[u]Faces[u]
I feel that the faces we have been given to chose from are very limited at a certain degree in the sence that no offence but most of them are ugly. The ones that are suppose to be young looking look no younger than seventeen, and so it is impossible to make a younger character.
My next issue is that theres no differentiation between the racial features given and i think that is unfair.
Also I know that you have tried doing this using the scales modifications, but, instead of giving default faces we should be able to chose what nose lips eyes and eyebrows that we want and also the color of it. When it comes to make up, the eyes and the lips shouldn't have to be the same color.
In order to make it more realistic, we should be given more lifelike faces, which would include blinking eyes and facial expressions.
[u]Hair[u]
Whilst many hairstyles have been added during the time i've played, apart from the affros there has not been any hairstyles added that are not dead straight. There should be an option for each hairstyle to be either curly, wavy or straight. Also seing as the capes are animated it only makes sense for hair to be aswell. For example it looks rather foolish when my characters are falling down and their cape goes up, it only makes sense for the hair to do the same thing. This applies for water also. I'm not asking for it to be an immitation of life, just a few water drops or something along those lines
.
Tattoos, Jewellery and Piercings
In order for people to able to express individuality and originality we should be given a wide range of tattoos, jewellery and piercings,that unlike currently would be given to both genders. Speaking of both genders, both genders should be able to be huge and have pets.
[u]Clothes[u]
There should be more casual clothes added along with this the current casual clothing should be eddited so that the T shirts and Tank tops arn't skin tight. Also dresses should be added for girls, and boys should have cooler suits. Also both genders should be given cloaks. Also the belts should be positioned lower down on the characters waist.
It is not my intention to come off whiney and negative, i just thought i would give some suggestions that would hopefully be taken into consideration for future issues
If you agree with this post i would appreciate it if you state that, so there would be more support backing this post, and therfore more of a chance that it would be taking into consideration and bring about change.
Thanks
