You're being greedy by asking. Hope you're joking. I guess some people here ARE pretty gullible.

I completely agree on both accounts. I would also like to add female huge body types. I know it isn't the ideal concept of a woman in the majority of society's opinion these days. But I can't argue against the small demand for it.

I would also like to see men's face textures, and hairstyles be evened up with the amount of options that the females have. This would require the following:

8 more face options for males
10 more young face options
9 more hairstyles (some of which are longer)
and 16 more Boot options

I want to second the request for females to receive:
Baron Jacket
Steampunk Jacket
Gunslinger Jacket
Gunslinger Chaps
Gunslinger Boots

I would like both genders to get new tattoo options. The current ones are very sub-par. There are several good tattoo magazines out there for reference. I would like a set for RANDOM tattoos on the chest and/or back, upper arms, gloves and/or knuckles, face (see Kat Von D's stars), legs and calves and/or ankles. A themed feminine tattoo set (a cherry blossom tree with petals blowing off, or something delicate or elegant). And a themed masculine set of modern tribals or skulls or creatively arranged flames. (I know they are overdone and cliche but what tattoo pack would be complete without it?) And just because something is masculine or feminine does NOT mean it should only be available for one sex. All patterns should be available for all body types. If a male huge character wants flower tattoos, that should be his choice. I can easily see a hardcore chick with flame or skull tattoos. I have said it before and I will say it again. If something COULD be worn by either sex, it SHOULD be available.

I felt the same way when all of a sudden I started hearing the term adds to describe ambushes, mobs, or "additional" enemies. I have heard people use the word toon in this game for so many years that I didn't really think about it. I would assume that it comes from the word cartoon, obviously.

car·toon [ kaar tn ]
animated movie: a movie made using animation instead of live actors, especially a humorous film intended primarily for children
sequence of drawings: a sequence of drawings that tell a short story, published in a newspaper or magazine
satirical drawing: a humorous drawing published in a newspaper or magazine and commenting on a topical event or theme

Which is somewhat parallel to comics. A lot of comics and comic strips had cartoons and vice versa. But now it is just a common term so I don't really concern myself with it. I prefer to use proper terms when I can, such as the previously mentioned "character". But sometimes I catch myself using shorthand and abbreviations. Because I read it a lot, and it is just common. Or I am trying to type fast during a battle. Or just to accommodate the understanding of the person I am talking to.

Male have a few bare chest options, that female cant have, understandably. :P But there are lots of things that females have, that I don't understand why males do not.

3 Carnival of Light Masks
4 Carnival of Light Head wear
Carnival of Light Belt
Small Padded Gloves
Sleeves Gloves
Dragon Bracer
Cloud Bracer
Classic Steampunk 02 Belt
Tight Pants with Boots

Also:
Females have 8 more face options that males
10 more young face options
9 more hairstyles
and 16 more Boot options
shoulder/neck options that have no male equivalent
a lot more skirts and shorts options compared to males kilts.

Not to mention LOADS of tops with skin options that males cant wear, again understandably. I am not going to argue the ethics of cross dressing in a T rated game lol. But there should be some more options for males to balance that out. Like bare chest with hair (not the hairy beast chest, just a normal guys chest) and some better bare chest tattoo and or pierced options. Maybe some native american beaded chest pieces or body paint. I could spend hours looking up the many potential options.

Also, there is no female huge body type, so to lay it all out for everyone, we are both getting shorted one way or another.
There is balancing that needs to be done for both genders, agreed?

Agreed.

I love the German Shepard pet, will definitely buy it to support the four legged rigs as soon as I can. Would be nice to have alternate colors for it, like a white or black Shepard. I see that people are presuming the rigs will come into play for future powersets and possibly other things like shapeshifting. This would be very nice, I agree on the mastermind set. Wolves, lions, and a bear would be nice, but there are a lot of things that could go into something like that, a bird of prey, a rodent, and even larger animals like rhinos or elephants. I foresee some very cool things coming in the future.

Yeah I have been too! I hope it actually is something a little bit like this: http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showthread.php?t=269922

Also good to see barbarian pieces, must have been inspired by the new Conan. At least there was one good thing resulting from that movie! lol.

Can't wait to see more about the sig story arcs!

Yeah I agree, it would be a lot more balanced.

This is a cool idea. A neat way to implement the shapeshifting, would be to click on a target, activate the power, and you copy their costume. It could work in a similar way as the halloween costume powers, but some changes would be nice. Some CC Emotes to work with it would be good.

Something much more difficult, but equally more interesting to me, would be if you click on an enemy character and copy their costume, you would also con as friendly to that enemy group. Maybe using an altered version of the yellow con system in GR. It would be like a new way of stealthing.

I am sure people will cut this down with reasons why it wouldn't work. Save your typing, I probably won't read this again and care less about how difficult, impractical, too advanced for the game engine, or any other reasons why.

There was a great old post about base upgrades that talked about NPC's in bases, market contacts and lots of other cool ideas. I really enjoyed building my base, I would like to see new things added to it.

I enjoy the incarnate plots, the well of furies, and how much we have yet to see is all very interesting to me. I think they are doing a good job.



Well there could be other unique things about it. This is just the first of an idea that could be better developed. If you would like to come up with other unique things to improve it feel free to.



Yeah, people like that can be a pain in the butt. And there are a lot of them out there. But that didn't stop development for the incarnate trials. If it is too hard for them to understand there is plenty of other content that can be dumbed down to -1.


I thought it was an interesting change. My favorite thing about they new content is that it is a little more interactive during the AV fights. Before you could just gang up on an AV with loads of heals and buffs and damage, basically all you had to do was stand in one spot and click buttons. With Battle Maidens blue sword attack and Marauders Nova Fist attack you have to move around more. This makes the gameplay more dynamic by making you switch gears, even if it is just for a moment or so.

Yeah good point about Sally and Lusca, but I am just saying I think it would be fun. Don't ask me why other enemy groups are involved, or the GMs either, that would be a storyline thing that I would rather see what developement do with it. I have enjoyed the story elements of the incarnate powers and the well of the furies. But if you need some justification for other enemy groups, maybe it would have something to do with incarnate powers, they are getting involved because they want a piece of the incarnate pie.

This is just an idea man, I am not dead set on any of the specifics. I was just giving examples so people could understand. If there are better ways to randomize things inside the trial I would be open to that. I just think a trial would be more interesting, and a little more fun to repeat if they weren't the same everytime. Yes eventually it would get boring, like everything else, if you do it enough times it will get boring. But if it isn't the same everytime, it would take longer to get boring.

Thanks for the feedback though.

Random like newspaper missions? LOL JK man, I like the idea. There are a lot of zone events that occur from player actions though. The zombie invasion I think, for turning in halloween salvage for a costume slot in Croatoa. And the Rikti Invasion for completing the LGTF. Am I forgetting any big ones?

Overall I think it sounds fun. Good idea.

I would also like to see a new zone where the Praetorian enemy groups like IDF, Warwalkers and Seers are battling it out with Longbow, Arachnos and some other group.
