A Plea - COV and COH Costume Pieces

[ QUOTE ]
To be clear: the code for sharing costume pieces between City of Heroes and City of Villains is NOT yet in...heck, it isn't even written yet. BUT we'll do it after release - hopefully very soon after release. Then heroes can have access to the new options.

To be honest, this idea came specifically from this thread. Since people wanted the new costume options, I checked with Software - who said it could be done. Just wanted to let you know that yes, we do take suggestions!

FYI - for those who don't like the idea because villains should look different than heroes - remember that villains already have hero options. They can create a character identical to one that exists in City of Heroes.

Huzzah! ^_^ Thanks, Mr. Statesman!

Any update on this topic? I see they are testing the costume respec token on TC, would be a perfect time to implement that code to turn on some/all of the villain options for Heroes that own both games.

I agree... Here I was all excited about my costume token, but no new duds to choose from.

Any update to this yet?

Despite State's comments that they would get to work writing the code after CoV's release, here we are more then 2 months since CoV's release and still no word or update when/if this will become available to those of us that own both versions of the game.

Here's my opinion on the matter at hand.

A lot of the CoV costume options are what we've been asking for in CoH, and that pisses a lot of people off. Things like different patterns, visors, helmets, face patterns, faces, more detail on the faces, different boots, more hats, etc. are all in CoV. The only costume upgrade we had for CoH was anime-inspired, and that pissed a lot of people off to because it wasn't what the majority had asked for.

Now I don't have CoV (yet, anyway), and I can understand what most are saying. Why pay for CoV if the costume options are all in CoH as well? Okay, but that's one element of CoV going into CoH which should have been in CoH in the first place. You all have seen that enormous costume thread in the Suggestions forums. Browse through that to see what I'm talking about. Even if the costume options just transferred into CoH, CoV still beats CoH by a ton of other elements. For one, the game play. We can't access bases if we just have CoH. Crafting is out of the picture because you do that inside of a base. You can't participate in base raids, and most SG-related missions/TFs are all in CoV.

God forbid CoH just gets the costumes, and even you all with both CoV and CoH you still don't get the costume options in CoH, so what's the fuss?

Holiday's are finally over, lets get this code finally finished and setup on live!

Newspaper missions would also be nice for us CoHers as well.
