Several suggestions and how they could be done.

Anyone else care to comment?

Shameless bumping ahoy!

1) Not sure that's possible without some major programming work by the Devs for what is basically an RP option that most players wouldn't use.

2) If the Devs are going to make up totally new animations (which is the majority of the work in creating new sets from what BaB has said on US forum) then I'd rather the Devs made a new "Grenades" powerset rather than simply cloning TA.

3) The Devs have already said finger claws are not possible/likely, because there would be horrid clipping issues with different hand costume items.

4) Good idea, I really want these too, but they've been asked for hundreds of times before, usually in the correct place (the costume suggestions sticky for the mods to send to SexyJay).

5) /signed

6) /signed - I've seen this asked for before, though - probably in the costume suggestions thread for SexyJay, which is really where all of your costume suggestions belong

7) I just think they should be granted powers like Inertial Reduction from Kinetics (which is basically a PBAE 1min SJ click-buff) - BUT you'd have to let players click them off if they didn't want them, and you can't grant toggles so they'd have to be always-on for a duration which could be rubbish for Fly if it still carried the debuff. Also most people don't have TP binds set up to make TP useable. Tbh this suggestion has more issues than solutions, so probably best leave things as they are now.

8) No - for the reasons already posted. I very much want a way to move recipes and invention salvage between my characters on the same account (to avoid constantly hassling my mate to do it for me), but your idea is not a good solution - why not just have a "shared" area in each character's Vault in addition to the existing space where you could put say 10-20 pieces of salvage that would then be accessible from any character's vault on the same account. Or just add SG-based Recipe and Salvage storage for bases. Or a way to mail recipes/salvage between characters on the same account.

9) Sounds like a bug to me - maybe you should report it as such - I've never seen that happen, but then I'm rarely in the tutorial that long.

Absolutely. However...

This may have changed, I haven't been keeping up with this stuff and I did read something about a Secret ID slot in some upcoming patch.

But, the idea of a Secret ID mechanism for CoH was put forward by more people than you can count on the fingers in China way back when CoH first hit Europe (and I've no doubt the US boards had them before that). The official response regarding this was that your character may well have a Secret ID, but that's what they do when you aren't logged on. When you are playing, you are playing a hero (or villain) in hero mode. Obviously, this never satisfied the roleplayers, since it's pretty obviously a cop out based pretty much on Golden Age comics before the secret life of heroes became as important or more than their costumed life.

Generally, a costume slot was allocated to a civilian outfit, or a level 1 alt was created using the hero's civilian name. (And I've now got 4 more slots I can stick on Union to do that with.) IMHO, I'd love a Secret ID mechanism, but I can't see it being added when there is a woraround already available.

Hehe that is pretty funny and I didn't even intend/notice it

<slaps self for not realising it>
<pats self on back for subconsciously writing a good pun>

Ok now is someone going to suggest a manicure-themed powerset?

Power of the Phoenix...
Just thought I'd Rez this thread, to see if any other players have any thoughts as to my 'ancient' suggestions?
