Been asked about before; no.
Frankly, the idea of making clones of yourself sounds like a Defender/Healer's worst nightmare.

but i do agree with the OP that it would be nice to customize the decoys a little more than just their color
Wait? Why would it be bad? I don't mean as having a different function. I think they should be the same decoys they just look like you but alright. Still thats not what this thread was about. I was wondering what other customization everyone wanted.

Not really because the decoys have the word Decoy over their heads and its not like you can't click the real ones name in the team tab

I never pay attention to people on the screen when I'm trying to heal and buff. I go by the team list on the side of my game screen. Pets are not listed there. I don't really understand why people would do any different, since people on screen move randomly, enemies get in the way, YOU move around, etc.|

The team list stays right there on my window and doesn't move.
I pretty much never try to heal/buff people that aren't in my team, so I don't worry about that part. At most I'll drop heals/buff auras like RA/AM/etc. when I'm in the middle of the pack, and that's it.

New Customization ideas? I forsee the future being custom animations for every power!

That's how you play, and that's fine, I'm sure there are plenty of others who do as well. Me? I maybe I don't. Doesn't mean I any worse or better at heal/buffing than you, I just might have a different style. Something like this would now almost require me to play it that way or be a less efficient when I heal/buff, but only when there's an illusionist with their decoys running around.|

While yes, I agree that it'd be a cool idea, I just disagree with the ramifications of it happening.

Let me ask you this? How would it be any different than playing with the decoys that are already there? Yeah they would look like you but they always have the word Decoy above their heads. Even then they are no where near their creator they always run or are spawned in the middle of a group. I don't see how it will be hard to tell them apart.|

Even if you have the names over people's head disabled the decoy thing STILL sets them apart.

Alright, alright, so let's cut to brass tacks with the idea then, shall we?
Your illusions take on the same form as you? Awesome. Which ones?
Does Phantom Army? How 'bout the Phantasm? Or the Spectral Terror? It'd suck to think that you couldn't customize one without them all.
And why does only Illusion Control get this? Why can't I make an Ice Sculpture of myself instead of Jack Frost? Or something along those lines?
The point is that when it gets down to the bare coding? Sure, I'd LOVE to see more customization options for anything summonable, but it's always gonna have to follow the SCR. The developers can't allocate resources they don't have to a power that doesn't really need any changes.
I know some option wouldn't be able to be done just yet. I'm wondering for illusions control. Maybe in the future making the decoys copies of yourself instead of the old ones. Just a thought. I was wonder what other things people wanted added.
