Creating alternate versions of a given costume part requires a character artist to rescale and refinish each one by hand. The process is repeated for each other category, so adding a 4th category would require that much more time for every single piece that's in the game. It's neither simple or fast.
So to get Female Huge, the tradeoff would've been losing at least a quarter of everything else in the game: 25% fewer costumes, 25% fewer enemies, etc. On top of that, you have to take into consideration the animation time involved. Every category receives custom-scaled animations whenever there's a weapon, cape, or other object involved (so the hands fit properly).
Bottom line, it's a massive undertaking that wouldn't really get us a lot of bang for the buck. Three scalable body types covers the vast majority of characters that players want to make, so while it'd be nice to have another one, the price is unfortunately too high.
Totally agree, with the amount of customisation we currently have, i'ld rather they spent more time on content/game mechanics than adding something to a feature we have so much of already.
Edit: First after a red name bust!

If we see the Devs, maybe we can talk to them a little. Defiant, Zukunft and Vigilance will have their times.
Thanks for the reminder! Totally forgot about that! Well i'll be there tonight too then!

I remember the day that when you created a new character, if you didnt turn on the teleport prompt, you'ld be teleported to the top of a VERY tall building and pushed off
The fires on the ground in the hollows? Yeah they are totally "safe" to pass through . . . . . . .
The reactor room waves/glowie rumour, people still believe it to be true!

Best April Fool's joke they've done. In fact, one of my SG mates was sorely disappointed to find out it was a joke.
It was so good that joke, that we now wait in anticipation every year for their new one
The "classic" of this game for me would be the atlas music with the camera in first person mode starting off at the new character entry location slowly looking up to the globe with heroes flying/tpin/jumpin/running past with finally a kheldian dwarf form tpin front of the camera doing a footstomp.
Classic AT though has to be controller

Issue 15/16 havent been released on your servers yet?

I'll be there!

Hi all, long time european player here who is thinking about running two accounts [one EU, one NA] so i can enjoy best of both worlds [not losing all the time i invested in my european characters in the EU and getting to team whenever i want in the NA].
Since this is the most populated server i was wondering if there are any supergroups out there that are active between 12 - 6pm GMT. If not, could anybody suggest which chat channels i should join for taskforces/teams/general chit chat.
Finally, how are the competitions like over here? I personally love creating/taking part in in-game competitions and would hope this server has plenty of them?
Hopefully catch you in-game within a weeks time when i create a NA account!

Hello there Black Pebble
Firstly welcome to the forum [had a few weeks away from the game so only just got the time to reply] and hope we all dont scare you away too quickly. Now on to the topics that i feel that need raising.
In regards to the NA marketing side of things i know i can not and should not make any comments since i have zero experience on how things are over there. However i do feel that i can comment on the european side. Now being a loyal customer of 4 years i feel the most obvious thing to do would be to state how much things have changed in the last few years.
A number of us currently still subscribed to the game, found the game while browsing through our local computer shop and thus bought it and have been here ever since. Previously i had ever only heard of this game from word of mouth, now granted i am by no means the MMO type of gamer you more than likely market towards but i do have an interest in being a superhero [pretty obvious since i have been here for such a long time]. Now on to my main point, with physical advertising at to the point that it almost doesnt exist you can't help but agree with the european players who feel that the NA servers are the only servers with a healthy future.
What i would like to know is what are you doing to help get the european servers up to a healthy standard again like it used to be. Now we have been told that we are not getting a physical shelf presence over here due to it not being financially warranted which we can see why you'ld do this, however purely online advertising does seem to have a scent of keeping the servers on life support that bit longer.
Second of all, when the in-game advertising first launched there was also an announcement that supergroups could advertise on there [as an example] too. Has this plan been totally scrapped too? Because that is one way to really get the creative minds of players going and help create an authentic feeling that our heroes are actually "part of the city". With the option to turn ads on/off, i cant see many [if any] players saying they dont want this feature.
Finally i hope you can shed some light on future projects that you have planned / can get the community involved in.
Take care!

There should be another piece of advice that says,
"If you're patrolling in a zone that's close to your level, don't fight near police drones, because the wonky AI of street mobs practially guarantees that as soon as you get them down to 5-10% of their HP, they will flee directly into the line of fire of the drone and you'll get bupkiss."
Apparantly you only get xp if you defeat the entire mob too

Just typed into google, city of heroes tips and this website was the top one.
http://www.gamerstemple.com/games4/0...09t01.asp?pn=1
On that page too, read what it says here.
Quote:It goes good piece of information, good piece of information . . . . then what?! Are you being serious?!?!If youre in a dangerous zone, patrol near a police sentry gun location such as a hospital, zone gate, or train station. If things get a little dicey, make a beeline for the sentry guns. You wont get experience for the criminals that the guns take out, but at least youll survive and not rack up experience debt. Be careful not to be too close to an enemy when he is zapped by a gun or you may be taken down by the gun as well.

I hope somebody thinks this is real!

Only problem i had was at the character selection screen, however ingame i was fine though did see a lot of people talking about it on the chat channels.

Ok either open beta is going to be REALLY quick or umm no open beta!
What? We had no closed beta last time so its only fair to balance it out!
