SCIENCE!
Also the metamorphosis contact is cool too. And I don't mean that in the Kafkaesque sense, either.

about. bloody. time.
Finally can change character body types. the question is, is it linked between costume changes? That is implied, but not directly stated...
More costume stuff is good too.
SG Mate: Cien, what the hell is this Rookery thing?
RadDidIt: (interjecting) Dude. It's the Rookery.
SG Mate: Yeah, but what IS it?
RadDidIt: Silliness Incarnate.
Never mind, I found the announcement.
This is quite possibly more exciting than the color customization we're getting with Issue 16.
So of course there will be an enormous outcry that once again people have to pay for the really cool stuff.
That said...
Gimme, gimme, GIMME!

There goes ten dollars from my salt-and-soda budget.
Not complaining, just resigned to my fate.
It's too cool not to buy.
Basically what they did is that now when you go to modify your costume, you get the initial screen like you do when creating a new character, then you go to the costume editing screen. So you can have a different body type for each costume slot
Yay!
I asked a long time ago for "Body Size/Type" changing in the Tailor! To me, this was a much easier and "imagination concious" choice than implementing a new powerset, Growth, which was up for voting before Willpower was chosen. I am super excited because now characters such as:
Shapeshifters (Mystique-like)
Werewolves
Size Manipulators (The Atom/Apache Chief)
and countless other ideas can be brought into the CoH world more accurately!
Needless to say, I'm psyched.
P.S.
The costume change emotes coming with this one sound really...really... cool.
What really excites me about the Super Tailor is the idea of turning every costume slot into an entirely different character and concept under some generic name. My oldest toon is a DM/Regen whose character has refused to click for me for three years, but I've had a couple other concepts for the combo I've avoided rolling fresh because I don't want duplicate builds and which needed different body types or height from the original. Now I'll just cross my fingers for more build slots to dink around with.

Oh god! Fancy! I love the jacket! I love the welding goggles >.>
I can change my height?
*sniffs, then sobs* It's the best Christmas evar!
I'm torn, really.
On one hand, OMG. Body type shifts, and MAD SCIENCE. EXCITEMENT.'
On the other hand: DAMN. I don't have a mad scientist alt. Now I need some sets for a new alt.
On the third hand: Ooooh dear. The gender-bending might have . . . fun and interesting applications for RP. :x
. . . Wait.
Third hand? Someone get the surgical laser.

I have a character, well two characters, on Freedom to play with some friends. One character on each of my two accounts, level pacted with each other, to simulate him changing size as he channels different spirits and takes different forms.
If I'm willing to give up the two vastly different power sets he uses (and I am), I can remake him and do away with that annoying level pact!

Good times.
All that is planned fails. All that is born dies.
All that is built crumbles. This will always be true.
But memories remain, And that is beautiful.
This is too cool!
I'd always figured that changing body types could be done, its nice to see that suspicion confirmed.

Am I missing something, or is there no bonus power being added with this besides the "I can turn into a girl" ability?
i can change body types? PRAISE THE HEAVENS! ONE OF MY MANY WISHES HAVE ARRIVED!

ERPvP just got a whole lot more deadly
"the reason there are so many sarcastic pvpers is we already had a better version of pvp taken away from us to appease bad players. Back then we chuckled at how bad players came here and whined. If we knew that was the actual voice devs would listen to instead of informed, educated players we probably would have been bigger dicks back then." -ConFlict
A thousand times YES.

Weve got a Science-rific new booster pack coming and we need your expert testing skills to help us give it a whirl! The Super Booster III: Super Science pack will sell for $9.99 in the NCsoft.com store.
***Note that Super Science will be available at the NCsoft.com store once it is pushed to the live servers.

Super Tailor Feature:
When visiting the Tailor or Facemaker in City of Heroes or City of Villains, a new NPC is available. The NPC will allow you to change the inherent body type of your character. You can choose Male, Female or Huge body types. Additionally, you will be able to change your characters height. So characters can change from a short, skinny civilian to a HUGE powered brute!
*Note : The described scenario will only work if you have an additional costume slot available at Level 20 or through the redemption of Halloween Salvage.
**The Super Science Booster is only available for a limited time on the Test Server in order to make sure we iron out any bugs that may still be lingering. (This is your chance to get a free sneak peek before it goes live) Characters that were not copied over to test prior to the patch will not have access to the Super Science Booster.
*** Please also note that we have disabled a back end process that copies over active account status. This means that if your subscription ends today, or through the end of the week, you will be unable to access the Training Room until we re-enable that back end process. All active accounts that are not set to expire today (or through the rest of the week) will be unaffected.
