I'm excited about all of this and I agree - I reallllly want my Menders to look more the part - please give us those belts, shoulders, etc.!

This. I really do hope they do Hero patron arcs/powers at some point.

I've actually skipped the shield powers before due to the symbol. Please let us opt out of the repeating Patrol symbol!

Agreed! Would love an alternate set for this.

Sooo excited!

I'd love to see an alternate animation for Hurl Boulder. One that the Legacy Chain use (with the animation being a bit longer of course to match). I'd love to see this for Earth Assault and some of the Earth Mastery powers.

I'd also love to see Arcane variations of all of the Heal Power Pool powers - Aid Other, Self, etc. where you see runes or potions or some such being used instead of a Tech device.

Perhaps also let us pick Flight poses in the Customization window instead of using macros.

Would also love to be able to pick a different effect for the Domination build up and activation power. This may be under customization instead of animation but just in case, throwing it in here too. Something like flames build up around you as you build Domination and then when activated it explodes like a Fire Blaster AIM power. Allow us to get rid of the rainbow and sparkles if we choose and have a Domination build up and activation per set - Fire, Electricity, Mind, Plant, Earth, Ice, etc.

Yay!!!

I'm not so sure how involved such customizations will be but I believe 2.0 would have options for most power pools, including travel powers. I think one of the bigger complaints over the years has been Hasten having your hands on nuclear fire and Super Speed having a small super nova at your feet. I hope they let us do different default flight poses in the customization section so you can always default to your set flight pose, instead of having to macro it each time you want to use it.

Having different effects for travel powers like Fire Flight and the like would be extra gravy - all over that.

I'd also love having a choice between tech Heal Other and magic Heal Other - let me throw a rune at someone or a potion, etc. to heal them instead of pulling out something from Star Trek. :P

Agreed. I really like some of the less super humanly fast animations that the Thug MM dual pistols use. It's making me roll one concept as a MM instead of a DP for sure.

I'm definitely making use of those DP animations tho but just with the appropriate concepts to support the extremely (visually) fast animations.

I should clarify - definitely forces with a strong nature bent. Plant is definitely the primary so looking for secondary and APP/PPP.

So fire/elect secondary looks like strong candidates.

Does anyone weather itself is a strong primal force over Earth Assault?

The one recent though about DP I had was that even though it looks a little supernatural/inhuman with all the flashy afterimage effects, I could maybe get behind it with playing the fact that his probability manipulation is putting him in the right place at the right time with his bullets so he can move all crazy like but it's actually him finding the right probable place to pump you fill of lead. I don't know. :P Kin is fun but that's a lot of redraw for DP and of course the speed boost bot is something I always dreaded (tho I have a couple).

The other recent factor is purely cosmetic with the costume - any melee sets make the warrior pads look like crap. They clip far too much and it drives me crazy. I tried out DP/Nin last night and discovered that. Now they work just fine with DP and other ranged attacks (mostly fine anyway).

If I want to keep him melee I have to change the shoulder pieces out and I tried this. Does it still look good? I think so but I got so used to the warrior pads that it gives me pause. Hehe. I'm way too picky I suppose.

I certainly hope you're not referring to my original post. Because I never made any such insistence nor do I have some random ridiculous concept that I find fault with the devs for not allowing.

I simply asked for the functionality to have multiple types of weapons w/o requiring a new powerset for it. A functionality that I hoped was less complicated than a new powerset to implement (which apparently I was wrong to some degree as there's plenty of complication implied in this thread ).

The concept for what it's worth was a melee oriented toon based on face cards (with the name Face Card) who with his King of Diamonds costume would use axes, with his King of Spades costume use swords and the Queen of Clubs uses.. a club/mace/hammer. Etc. If I stick with the melee concept for this toon then I'll try to work in swords, use the vet reword axe and mace mastery from Patron pools. It's definitely not the same or as fluid and immersive as the original wish list item but it helps with a few iconic trappings here and there.

And I've also had plenty of other concepts for weaponmaster types - a Warrior Goddess for example that used shields and various blades/smashing weapons.

I implement these concepts regardless of the limitations of realizing them fully in game, I figured I'd put a suggestion forth that would carry the concepts further since these were things that I *could* do in other games. However, I don't like said other games as much as I love City of.
