As someone who make alot of None Human Toon's,I kind of think that Tails and Belts should have it's own section.I Rather have my toon have a Belt and Tail on him at the same time,I mean come on do i want my Toon Pants falling down while fighting Evil.I am thinking if not another Section can be add for tails,then add Another Option for tails under Belts so you can have them both.

I asked specifically at the comic con about this, I believe it was Vince who answered.

Right now, the costumes have 18 "nodes" or locations which can be used. These include each of the distinct areas (upper body, gloves, shoulders, etc). The reason we haven't seen these separately is because they only have 2 available nodes left, and then they'll have to actually redo the entire generator to accomodate new things.

I'm hoping for a more clever use of what we have:

A belt which HAS a tail, for instance. Or, tails with and without belts, but each of those has to be 'remade' with the belt. I wouldn't be against that at all.

But for the moment, the reason we dont' have things like multiple area effects, like a belt AND a tail option, is strictly because the character creation engine *cannot do it* that way. :/

Ewww.

As a software engineer IRL I can understand the limitations imposed by arbitrary restrictions like this, but it doesn't make me like them. I can only assume hardwiring 18 "nodes" for this probably made things easier to throw together back when they were trying to get it all working years ago. But obviously that limitation has now come back to bite them. Theoretically there's nothing magical about the number 18 size-wise other than that's what somebody assumed would be enough at the time. A better designed system probably wouldn't have to have a built-in limit like that at all.

Hopefully they get the opportunity to reorganize the system so that they won't be forced to live under a restriction like that. Maybe that's the kind of thing they are working on for the Going Rogue expansion. I for one have always been a fan of the idea of being able to have tails and belts at the same time.

Belts and tails, chest emblems under bandeleros, matching mask and chest colors and patterns. There's a lot of odd limitations in the models.

Well there are 20 nodes, but those last two,.... it seemed to me they want to wait to see whether there's something else WAY cooler than just tails/belts or whatnot. I'm not sure where they would be located or if they're already spoken for in terms of locale on the body.

Well, one could be the leg:

True, though since that's a pre-designed character and not a player character, who knows. The features which are on some npcs are not always those which we as players CAN get, because they were specifically designed FOR and only for those npc's.

Though that would be one rockin place to have lots of accessories. *adds to wish list*

Well since they Change the costume Thing for Issue 16 so we can look at our powers and color Change it while making our toon,who no's they might Revamp the outfit Design So they might be a even match or to fight a war with Champion Online Costume Creater.But to do that they got to remake the whole Costume Creater.I am not to Smart with Computers,But i think theses Nodes means there are 2 more Ideas to be done with the Costume Slot Details or whatever.Ok so here some more Idea's

(1) Back Detail's-Sword's,Back Pack,Logo's and other stuff on back.

(2) Upper Arm or Lower Leg Gear,Pads,Fins,Etc

(3)Over Body Outfit that Cover the some of the Outfit-that over the the whole body-Rain Coat,Robes,Etc

Alot of these Idea's yeah,they not all good but try to talk about them.Hopefully a Derv Reads it and might say,Hey that's a good idea or that might work out.
But think about the tails and belt be in Different Slots,you no how much real and cooler you toon going to look.

Given the costume creator is one of CoX's biggest and best points, one of the best out there, the Devs really will be shooting themselves in the foot if they say 'Oh, we are limited by such and such.' Upgrade time much? Yes, it's a lot of work most likely. But ya think anyone famous would be where they are if they had said that? Climbed Everest, swum the channel, made a plane?

Sure, this is just a game, so maybe not as a dramatic as all that. But still, why is working for improvement this whole big deal?
