  1. I also would love customization in how the weapon is carried.

    I'd love to be able to have it resting across my shoulders at all times when not in use.
  2. It's pretty specific, I know, but I'm hoping for something that at least somewhat resembles the King Saw.

    Costumes, Hair

    All I'm saying is that something could be done. And something is better than nothing. I'm not insisting the cape system should be used, but I'm saying it's an option.

    No offense, but most of the hairstyles we have now aren't all that good looking either. At least Ghost Widow has the option, and unlike you, I think it looks pretty good.

    It'd look better if she had some color. The whole "mop" thing you complain about is because, in order to look ghostly, her hair is white and has no highlights.

    Weapon switching

    I guess I didn't think about the animation intensity quite so much. At least they gave pistols a cool draw animation. But I can't help but feel that other powerset combinations like Fire/Fire and such have an advantage over powers that don't have a complimentary secondary power.

    Ah well.

    Weapon switching

    It'd be so nice if using our sub-powers didn't force us to put away the weapons related to our main powers. It just doesn't feel right that my Blaster puts her pistols away every time she uses Mental Assault powers.

    I'm sure there are Assault Rifle, Sword, Twin Blade, Katana, Axe, and Mace users who feel the same way.
  7. A multi-arm powerset that can diverge into melee or ranged would be pretty sweet. It'd be like Crab Spiders, but less restrictive and open to customization for the extra arms.

    Maybe you could even customize how many arms there are. I for instance wouldn't mind the ability to generate a character with just one additional robotic arm behind one shoulder like Ryukotsuki.

    I'm all for more hair options, though. Especially hair styles that don't look absolutely ridiculous. Art designers, please take a look at normal people out and about and see all the styles out there before giving us more hair.
    Perhaps the use of the moving hair could disable the use of capes. Though I don't see it affecting buttcapes, trenchcoats, or the magic bolero costume options since the 'cape' part is so much lower on the body.

    Yeah you can change ears when you have a hat on. My Dominator has elf ears and a witch's hat.

    My big complaint is that the ONLY hair option with hats is an extremely short, almost bald buzz cut, or a generic 'long' look that is slave to the hat's secondary color. This looks okay, I guess, in the case of the witch hats, but could still be improved upon.

    If it necessitates another anchor point, I don't know how hard that might be for the developers. But it might be worth the effort.

    Costumes, Hair

    I love the customizability in this game, and it's what pulled me in from the MMO I played before, but I still think there can be some improvements. Most notably, in the way hair is implimented.

    Why is it we can't have long hair and a hat?

    Is there any chance of long ponytails, possibly as an extra item in one of the Detail slots?

    Is there any reason long hair and long ponytails/pigtails can't be given the same movement treatment as capes?

    Perhaps hair can be split into Bangs (which are replaced by hats/helmets) and Backs (which can be used alongside hats/helmets), and could be customized separately.

    Updater speed

    I had to completely reinstall City of Heroes due to some work I've had to do on my PC, and this is ... ludicrous. I don't remember it being like this before.

    Currently:
    3.7 Gigabytes total data
    4.7 kilobytes per second download speed.

    At this rate, I'll be able to play again in... 267 hours... or... over 11 days.

    I've excepted it from my firewall. Comcast has never throttled my torrents or anything before... What the hell is causing this, and how can I fix it?

    Are there any alternatives? I typically can download 4 gigs in an hour or two, not a ... week. This is "background downloader so your gameplay isn't affected" speed, here!
