It wouldn't even have to be a blood pool aura, just a dripping water one. We could tint it red. That would get around the 'T' rating. That way your sensitive stomach can handle it.

*EDIT*
Also, before I forget... We totally need "Doves" and "Cherry Blossoms" combat Auras.

Skeletal Body parts, perhaps even with optional torn rags, ala the skeletal robotic arm we have now

We really need a flock of Devs power. (and no, that's not a typo)

Q: How do you wreck an Abrams?
A: You crash into another one.
I want the new animated tails system to be used to give us a huge ringlets hairstyle:
Also some big ribbons added to the belt and head details. ^_^
A belly jacket! Kinda like the Minivest, but only closed! Not open!
Better sleeves for the jackets.
The Butterfly belt on Robes to be ported over to everything else!
Fox Tails!
Belly tee's that can have patterns on them!
BrandX Future Staff Fighter
The BrandX Collection
A "gun hand". Gatling, ray gun, cannon with laser sight options.
Runes combat aura; when you use a power, runes appear either in front or you or surrounding you.
Bird head.
Energy style wings. Think Tyrael from Diablo II.
Dragonfly wings.
Back tentacles; a variation on Crab backpacks might work.
A giant moving Rularuu eyeball chest piece.
Robot & undead skeleton chests and legs.
Insect head.
Animated versions of the Wasp antenna.
Belts, wristpieces with blinking lights.
Shoulder Tesla coils, like Freakshow get.
Shoulder radar dishes.
Steampunk & high-tech versions of gatling gun pistols for Dual Pistols. Preferably ones that actually have a spinning-barrels animation.
Animated tail with extra eyeballs or tentacles.

exactly. "green" or "blue" colored blood doesnt seem to upset anyone. alot of gore nowadays is considered PG-13 content. I think the T-rating is mostly there for profanity and sexuality, and not so much the blood and guts factor.

I'm not going to debate what the playerbase of this one single MMO wants or not for new character costume features. But I will point out that one of the main video demos provided by Nvidia for its new line of GeForce GTX 470/480 GPU's uses the example of moving hair to demonstrate its new DX11 tessellation capabilities. Just do a Google search of "Nvidia 480 hair" and it's all over the place. Apparently this major GPU company sees "moving hair" as a key example of what people in general want to see from next-generation video hardware. Just saying... |

Obviously moving hair represents a fairly hard trick for older video hardware to handle real-time. That's pretty much why it "hasn't happened long before now." But with the continuing improvement in GPU technology it seems pretty likely that game players are going to be getting things like moving hair as a commonplace detail in the not too distant future. It's possible that older games like CoX may never get updated enough to feature it specifically, but I would expect just about every new game from now on to provide some solution for it now that the GPU technology is finally getting good enough to handle it.
In any event even trying to take a stand against moving hair for game characters now or in the future is basically pointless all things considered.

While technically this is all something that should probably go in Jay's megathread, it would be remiss of me not to mention that I still want the Decorated Military Formal jacket that the male models can get to be ported to Huge and Female.

I know this is ridiculously simple, but I've wanted it forever.
I want a mask that sits ON your face, and isn't painted onto it:
I want to be able to color it. I'm sick of my eyebrows showing through the darned thing when I choose the Rounded, Pointed, or Diamond masks with any color but black.

Nope. I just can't see how giving us moving hair & tails is going to bring in more players or make the company more money. And I think that's what the Devs should be focusing on. Giving us new costume pieces, designs, outfits, etc. instead of appeasing a small, vocal minority. The forums are at most, 10% of the complete playerbase, and I don't see the majority of that 10% going, "Oooo, moving hair! Oooo swishy tails!" I could be wrong, but I doubt it.

It doesn't just have to be a forum thing - players coming to CoH from other games that do have moving hair and tails might expect CoH to have them too.|

The more games that have them, the more people are going to expect them as a standard feature - it's important that we keep up with other MMOs as much as possible.

Wait, didn't you start a thread about morals, and stuck your foot in your mouth repeatedly? Or got called on some idiotic things you said? Something like that.
