Iv been reading the latest posts and most of them seem to be concerned with new power animations, but for me I feel that costume customization has been left out. While I will say CoH has the best costume creation out their it does seem to be missing a few basic things in my opinion. For example, where have knee pads gone? Why do both my shoulders have to have the same thing on them? (there are a few exceptions I know) Why can't I have huge cloaks that cover most the body or loin clothes or loin armour kinda things, and why doesnt most of my clothes move realistically? Iv seen a couple of gameplay clips of champs, and I wondered why does it make CoH feel so slow, and I've come to the conclusion this is mainly because there is very little interaction between character models. For example, I know it would be really hard but wouldn't it look awesome if when characters would brush up against each other, they would sorta shrug it off, stiffen or even be affected like a normal object would when in contact with another moving thing.
I know that the devs have a limited work force and I am not flaming on them, i am just bringing this up to get people to start asking some questions. Although I'm I haven't been a huge fan of the recent updates (the seemed kinda 'meh' to me) I am really impressed by the evolution the game is making. I am looking forward to a new expansion as this will give the devs a huge boost to the game's funding and publicity hopefully. It will also hopefully breath new life into an aging game and help to revitalize it. The biggest hope that i have is they will make some small fundamental changes to the game mechanics to give the character even more life and individuality.
