left and right, the costumes

the is just one thing i really like to see in the costume creator, some differences for left and right.
every character has kinda a bit stale look, everything is just a mirror of the other side.
now what if we can make some costumes different of left and right, like different cloves, shoos and some non-straight skirts/pants.
lust look at the samples:

i just like to see less tidy clothes and more free-style clothing.

Pity most of those look awful, but there is the costume suggestion thread as you well know. angled belts and for left or right would be nice option to have.

Yup - not to mention having an option for only one shoulder piece. I'm guessing that costume wise it wouldn't be hard to do, but it'd almost triple the list.

Still, be nice.

if i would do this in the costume thread, then we can't both discuss it and it's ignored since the thread is pretty much forgotten by the devs.

Assymetric skirt designs... could go for that.

The problem is often the image maps that get used. They draw one side only and mirror them.

Yea I'm pretty sure that's how they do things was it not the case of before Cov was launched all the faces/costumes were symetrical but the changed and added new non symetrical stuff as asymetricsl was more vilinus or somthing

Still a good idea things like odd shoulder pads should be relativly simple to do (I said relativley) but would appear as new shoulder options so you would in effect be almost tripleing the size of the list for that costume part who h could be a bit clunky. It's maybe time the devs looked at giving the charichtrler creator a over hall it is after all probably COH's best feature and should be treated to some love

You could have a check box for left right or both. Same length list then.

Yea i suppose it could work like the sub menues thats been added recently so if you pick a shoulder item that had multaple options a new menue apears below giving the option of right, left, both

But personally i would much prefer that they rework the editor to incorporate asymmetric costumes so you could have odd gloves, boots, legs, arms, auras etc etc but that's probably a hell of a lot of work.

Plus i suppose the Dev's have no real need to look at the costume creator as long as its still the best in a MMO the problem will only really arise if Champions or DCs is better as then CoH will lose one of its major plus points

I would like this so I could have an alt with a huge metal hand, and a normal gloved one - Kinda Hellboy-esque...

Personally I really like this idea. I'd love to be able to edit each costume part individually (i.e... left thigh, right thigh, shorts, etc...) then I could have an alt with one cyborg leg or even a glove on one hand and the other bare handed.

Edit: And while they're at it, seperate horns and headbands from glasses. My main hates not being able to wear shades due to having horns!
