However, I do want to go a step beyond that, myself, and have those "alternate models" be meaningfully different, but still within the same theme. Like, say...

Mercs: Contemporary soldiers, Futuristic space soldiers, Lizardmen/alein soldiers, undead soldiers (ala Praetorian Duray's Second Regiment)

Thugs: Basic thugs, cyberpunk thugs, Western "gunslingeR" thugs, alien thugs.

Necromancy: Regular zombies, exposed skeletons, "dark knights" in armour, robozombies, maybe even an "evil mage" look for the Lich.

That's basically what I'm looking for. Just more looks to them to provide a broader tree of concepts for Masterminds without having to go through the laborious process of introducing a dozen new sets.

Hell, just going from Feudal Japan ninja to Grey Fox technoninja would double that set's potential.

Mastermind henchmen come in strictly defined themes - soldiers, thugs, demons, zombies, etc. To me, it would be quite... I want to say "irritating" but let's go with "odd" to see a Necromancy Mastermind lugging around a troupe of Playboy bunnies and claiming those were zombies, or a Mercenaries Mastermind walking around with a bunch of preteen kids and insisting they are hardened veteran soldiers.

Incarnates don't really have the same limitation, in that their Lore pets could be anything, and aren't defined to anything specific, as far as I'm aware. Kids, playboy bunnies, unicorns, anything. That's why I'm much more willing to support "anything" for Incarnates than I am for Masterminds.

That said, I don't exactly claim I don't want customization for Mastermind henchmen. Far from it, in fact. I do want to see more futuristic soldiers with more futuristic weapons, or even alien soldiers wielding alien weapons, even if they still have to shoot bullets and flamethrowers out of their barrels. In fact, I find myself without a decent Mastermind to represent the space army of my new-ish space empire. Robots don't count, since I want a living army, and anything other than robots just doesn't look futuristic in any way, shape or form. Where are my Replica Soldiers? Where are my Storm Troopers with laser blasters?

I do want to see Mastermind customization, I very much do, but within theme.

Why should concept be brutalised just for number output in a game that, for so long, has avoided that very pitfall?

Presumably the ideas of the Incarnate System came out of that.

We're no longer just talking about Primal Earth.

He after the ENTIRE multiverse, where they are MOST CERTAINLY dimensions with entities that can crush him like a bug if he breaths too hard.

Very disappointed with the QoL in CoH lately... It seems to be more about *decreasing* quality of life than improving it.

Make it different colored versions of the wisp and I'll be fine. Just not what it currently is.

As has been said, this game has been all about customization, why change that now? At least give us something generic enough that we can call it what we want.

Edit:

I don't care if they delay the entire mess. I remember a time when the devs wouldn't release things until it was good. Please don't start now releasing just to be getting stuff out the door. So my vote... Delay and get this right.

(Preemptively bolded before the inevitable "the old content isn't going anywhere" or "go play another game." I like this game, I don't like Praetoria, I'm not alone, and such an unprecedented focus on one story line that many people don't like alienates those people.)
