WISH LIST (too simple and long overdue)

NATURAL CLAWS
You have countless critters in the game that utilize this. All the animations are there for the heroes, just give a “no claw” choice in the weapons… or force the “monstrous claw hand” costume piece worse case. Make it happen yesterday.

MONSTROUS FUR LOWER BODY
When selecting “TIGHT” (not “Monstrous”) you have at least 3 non-clothed options including Zombie, Plant and Reptilian. We need monstrous fur in this. It follows the exact same mold, and you can even grab it from the “Monstrous” section and just modify it (if at all) to mesh around the tight lower body. Obvious oversight, make it happen.

MONSTROUS FUR BOOTS
No not ugg’s… although wait a second now hhhhhmmmm. Oh... I digress. Same as above… we have zombie, plant, reptile… just give us a little hobbit action here, ‘nuff said.

TRAVEL POWER (THE MISSING LINK)
Okay not as simple, maybe… but it hit me recently (*cough* *CO* *cough*) that there is a huge cross section of hero types that don’t have a thematic travel power, or are taking a travel power that is off theme. This is excruciating given the breadth of CoH in other areas. Ninjas, "Punishing" Soldier Types, Beasts, Captain America Types, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, are all left in the dust. They aren’t as fast as the Flash, they can’t fly or teleport, and they can’t jump like the Hulk, and being forced into taking any of these over-powered over the top solutions for a seriously gritty and brooding Dark Knight type is just plain corny. It ain't right. Let the gods be gods... but some of us need to be mortal men (albeit on performance enhancing drugs). There needs to be an additional Travel power… and being one for suggesting simple solutions that already exist in the game… just make it “Fitness”. One travel power that instantly grants all the individual powers of the current power pool of the same name. Perhaps tweak them up a bit and throw in a couple other little perks, but you get the idea. If I think of my alts alone this travel power would be selected for almost every other toon I make. I can’t imagine anyone who is playing CoH, from a non-grind and non-PL perspective, who wouldn’t jump all over this as an option for so many concepts and ideas. Really bad and massive void here guys if you consider some of the most currently popular heroes don't have flight, super speed, super jump or tele. Can I get a "heck yes" !!!!

DUAL PISTOLS as a primary without minions.
ROGUE is a day late and a dollar short on this - and as most of us know by now from peeking around at our um, competitors, it has quickly became the most popular power used on that there other side of the tracks. Ouch guys, ouch. I don't like being Burger King to their McDonalds, but let’s hope it delivers none-the-less.

More costume peices +1
Fitness perk -1?

if you wana jump higher than get combat jumping aswell as hurdle
and if you wana run faster Sprint + swift

NATURAL CLAWS -- There are issues with this that BaB has discussed in the past. Many folks want this, and if it were easy, you'd think it would have been done when Weapon Customization debutted.

MONSTROUS FUR LOWER BODY -- Ummm, I thought this already was an option?! If it isn't (I haven't looked for it, and can't from work), then I agree with ya.

MONSTROUS FUR BOOTS -- Uggz?! My god, that makes the rest of the suggestion look ridiculous. At any rate, yes, matching feet to the legs above.

TRAVEL POWER -- Yes, let's compare our game to CO. Because they are soooo much better at everything! Right then. Making Fitness into a travel pool doesn't need to happen... because, essentially, it already IS one. If you don't understand, then that is your failing not the Devs'. (Also, it goes without saying that you would select your ridiculous 'Fitness' power. Why? Because it is totally un-balanced to give in one power what an entire pool set does...)

DUAL PISTOLS -- Grow some patience. It's coming, soon™. Also, we are the Burger King... we get things our way, while there at McDs you get it how they want to give it to you, and it doesn't even involve a real grill.

Ninjas and beasts (well "The Beast", at least) could both use Super Jump without any concept clash whatsoever, since the animation makes no concept assumptions outside of "you jump high/far".

Natural characters can easily...

Justify Fly as a jetpack (Nick Fury)

Take SJ anyway, and think of it as acrobatic travel.

Use Teleport much in the same way that Manticore does/did, hacking into the MediPort grid.

Take SS and not care how exactly fast you're going or the yellow glow. Your guy runs fast, so what?

Or, take both Fitness powers and call it a day. Who needs a travel power anyway?

Obviously, these will all be much more viable once we get the next phase of Power Customization, but nothing's stopping you much now.

I want me a "Just Appears" travel power. In "Heroic" (think "The Cavalry has arrived!"), "Terrifying" (think "Who are you!" "I'm Der Fliedermausmachen!"), and "Mysterious" (think "Where did THIS guy come from?") flavor.

You press a button and you're just THERE man! Don't ask how you got there. It's not important. The fact is, you're there, and some butt is about to get whupped!


(Admission: Yes. I've played Starfleet Battles. I was one of the playtesters for the Captain's Edition. Yes. I know this is something like the Legendary Captain rule. So sue me!)

Clicking on the linked image above will take you off the City of Heroes site. However, the guides will be linked back here.

If they added alternative animations for TP like they have for Fly, then you could appear in a flash of lightning, or an explosion, or a puff of smoke, or a cloud of darkness.
