Other costume pieces instead of capes pls?!

Hi@all, especially Paragon Studios,

what i would like to see is that there are other costume pieces instead of capes. Possibly different backpacks, tentacles (biological, mechanicle, hybrid) or some kind of machinery to put on the back of our characters.

Can we expect something like that in the future? Maybe with a booster-pack?

this is somthing i've wanted for a long time i rarly use capes on my alts they just dont suit them. but would love to add back spines or random bits of tech to them.

However i think the problem lies in where back items attach to the model if you've had the jump pack or raptor pack you'll notice that they frequently end up stuck within the back instead of on the back this is especially noticeable on huge models that have the body scale sliders maxed.

but still great idea would love it

Surely they could figure out how to design an 'achor point' on models? So, even scaled, there would be the point where the thing would latch on to?

Besides, they bang on about clipping, when the HELL has that stopped them releasing stuff that clips?

I think all the current anchor point things are used so to add more they would need to redesign the models (which may not be a bad thing)

and yes they seem to choose when they wish toachnolage clipping and when they don't plus some times things clip together well.

heh, a small backpack that clips is a bad thing but the Valkyrie belt clipping trough the trenched coat is no big deal.
bad argument.

Not to mention the clip-tastic high collar cape.

I think they've come to accept some clipping now.

tbh i think its good they have accepted clipping it leaves more variety in costumes, so its up to us to find combinations that work, i'd much rather have the high collar cape that clips with some items than have no high collar cape at all and most ppl i've talked to feel the same way

as for the OP 110% /signed from me and to add:

-dual blade and bradsword scabbards
-handgun holdsters
-assault rifle strapped to back

and to add, they managed to make power customization (which they explained was IMpossible) I'm sure they could figure out how to make back items anchor properly

^This

give me a quiver!

To be fair weapon customisation was imposible. Because of the amount of work that was needed to impliment it back items are probably the same it's just a question of is it worth putting the time into it or should that time be used else where

if i understand correctly, power customisation needed a lot of codework and weapon customisation needed comparatively less

thing is:
A. we already have a slot for back items
B. TBH i would have thought a backpack would be easier than wings
C.so just designing the models and creating a decent anchor point should be doable. nowhere near the same scale as power customisation

it is easier, wings need an animation, backpacks are like jetpacks.

Couldn't they just use the same anchor point as wings? I mean it should work because wings are in a suitable enough place on the back.

You would think so the only thing i can think of is that the anchor points used for wings (and capes for that matter) aren't the same as normal anchor points

Good ideas! I hope the devs/designers are listening.

shoulder holsters for guns would be sweet too.

other back options I'd like would be spikes/spines (no use for them personally, but I can imagine they'be good on a number of toons) maybe even a furry/hairy line going down the spine for extra flavour on wolfy types, a tech themed robotic spine and tentacles or spider legs...not quite Crab Spider backpack but something like that (I imagine robotic octopus legs would be a copyright infringement too far) and what about a hunched back?

all those sound great i imagine one possible problem for holsters is making them actually work cant see that being easily achievable but for pure decoration it should be possible

Then why are we forced into a daft arc on VEATs to get us out of costumes?

I do think they are a bit random and precious about cossies and I support this suggestion

I would like to have katana in my back (as been katana scrapper)

on the waist surely?

It's clearly possible to put various different items on the back of a character. It's just not been done by the devs - so far.

I hate to bring it up but the soon to be released CO has the features that the OP asked for - and a hell of a lot more to boot.

I'm not breaking the CO NDA by stating this. There are plenty of screenshots of CO which show this.

Perhaps our devs will respond and introduce similar back options?

COH do things that CO is advertising? Never!
