Consolidated Power and Weapon Customization Thread

I just got the Shard Cannon in the Super Packs. While it looks awesome, I'm a bit upset that only my Beam Rifle characters could benefit from it.

Any chance that we could expand it out to being used by Robotics Masterminds in particular? (Pluse assault rifles, certain Arachnos soldier weapons, etc.)

These may take up too many resources to be feasible, but they're worth a shot.

- Wands and staffs/sceptres for elemental ranged attacks: I'm having a hard time coming up with a magician or wizard type character because I don't really feel like there's a way to make them look appropriately magical. I know 'cast' animations have been added to ease this issue but they just don't do it for me(although I am using them on my nrg/nrg tech blaster, makes him look cooler). I was thinking it'd be much better for me if elemental ranged offensive sets could have the option of using a wand or sceptre to cast their attacks. You know, waving around a wand and pointing it at the enemy to shoot fire, waving the wand or sceptre in an arc in front of you to do an knockback attack, or raising a sceptre into the air, before slamming it into the ground to cast an AOE. The bad news is that the developers would have to make a lot of new animations that could be used on entirely new powers(maybe the coming staff fighting set has some animations that could be appropriated? There's the Nemesis staff and black wand animations too). The good news is that once it's done, you could use it on all ranged offensive sets but Assault Rifle and Archery.

- One handed animations for the Katana: Pretty self-explanatory. If you want to use a medieval sword and a shield, swing a massive titan sword, wield two swords or fight like a Samurai/Ninja, you're covered. The only people left out are those who want to be like fencers or musketeers. The easy way out would probably be to just add a fencing sword skin to Broadsword and Katana, but it'd be really great if appropriate animations were made for fencing like holding the sword out in front of you, and quick pokes, swipes and thrusts. A fencing mask costume piece would be a cherry on top.

It was touched upon in the i22 beta forums, but could we please have alternate models for Umbra Beast? Options such as Umbra Lions or Tigers or Bears (Oh My!) would allow great customization to all the cat-themed characters out there.

Thanks.

The ability to swap Wolves for Hyena's and Lions for Bears in the new Beastmastery set would greatly make the concepts actually work there.

- Wolves, Bears, Dire Wolf = Snow, russia, hyboria themes
- Hyena's, Lions, Spirit Beast (Dire Wolf) = African themes

Also... I still can't unlock the standard Assault Rifle models when I unlock my slots on my Arachnos Soldier!!! My soldier is a US Marine and should use the M16 rifle... not the Arachnos rifle!

I apologize in advanced if this is the wrong thread to post this on. I was wondering if the Carnival of Shadows mallet could also be a unlock for titan weapons. I have been visualizing the mallet as such and think it would look great as a titan weapon.

I was just on Virtue and they were discussing the lack of pool customization, and a brilliant idea was suggested.

Of course this game is a business, and the devs need incentive to do the hard work of pool customization, so...

Make us pay for it! I would MUCH rather pay to unlock customization of a pool power that I really want to customize than to never get pool customization because it's on a permanent back-burner. Somebody brought this up and lots of people chimed in "I'd pay!"

If necessary, they could even release the pools one at a time. That would be WAY better than, well, never.

Let's incent the devs to do the hard work by letting them know we'd rather pay for it than not get it!

Man, I hope this works.

It's been a loooooooooooo-o-o-o-ong, LONG time comin, but I knooooooooo-o-o-o-ow, pool customization gonna come. Oh, yes it iiii-i-i-s!

Again:

I would like the Fire Katana that the mastermind pet Oni uses be available for Fire Melee/Manipulation/Assault. The scimitar and giant sword make me not want to choose any of the sword bases powers.

Alternate animations for the sword powers in Fire Melee/Manipulation/Assault. Those animations could be fire whip attacks from the Demon Summoning Mastermind set. One of those attacks even spins around, like Fire Sword Circle, so I don't see the downside to it.

I'd like Stone Melee to get spiced up a little. Give the option for something besides hammers, like a big stone sword.

For the lack of a better example, see this:

I'd love an alternate animation for Energy Melee. If my character can manipulate energy, why can't I shape that energy into a fist? Like something out of ice melee.

Rather than a frosty fist, a wire-frame energy fist would be much more fun.

Edit: Added an image for a reference. Technically, green lantern manipulates the energy of his ring into a fist. I'd like that too >.> (obviously not that large though, something small like the ice fist model...which is my favorite melee model in the game)

I'd just like some of the BroadSwords port over for DualBlades please... such as Barbarian Sword, Flamberge, & Arabian Scimitar.
&
Please, for the love all that is holy fix the "No Pulse, No Fade" option for DarkArmor Brute so that it actually works. As of right now it does nothing of the sort; where as the Scrapper's option one works just fine.

I would love to see alternate pet summoning animations, maybe like you hit the ground with your fist for demon summoning?

I'm sure it's been suggested, but can Dark Blast/Miasma get options similar to Dark Control/Assault/Affinity, and vice-versa?

Rularuu weapons for Titan weapons, dual pistols, staff fighting, beam rifle.

Although more of a new set than an actual weapon suggestion: Dual -Melee- for the Dual Blades animations. Escrima sticks, mace, etc.

Two request

Can you please make an alt look for
Cold domination/ Ice shield and glacial shield
(don't like the block look all that much but other may so an alt look would be nice)
And
Thermal radiation/ Thermal shield and plasma shield
(these tend to be a bit overpowering on the eyes and would like it if there was another look)

Thanks

Even if Pool Power Customization doesn't make it into the schedule any time soon... could we at least get a real unique animation baked into Super Speed? Something with more emphasized strides and not just the normal run animation sped up...

Several existing powers could still use some alternate updated animations. A lot of the vanilla animations that have been there since the game first came out have never been terribly impressive looking.

Super Jump is another one. You just take off and go, there's no "oomph" to it.

Steam punk look for Robot Mastermind pets and Traps

Can we please have an alternate looks and less in your face looks for thermal radiation and cold domination shields. There just to crazy

Could you please add crablike claws to... well, claws?
Make 'em big enough to completely hide the glove with a surface and colour-scheme similar to Bio Armor.


Still wouldn't be organic claws like most people want 'em, but it would be a good start until you eventually figure out how to do it right...

@Redcap

I'd like the power set that keeps the game going...can someone make that for me?
