I'll be 50 in October. Admittedly, I didn't run into ol' Clutch until the early '70s when a local syndicated station was showing them.
Dec out.

I would also like to request fixed wings. The tech wings are a fun addition, but some Mecha style fixed wings would be a cooler way to go I think. They could deploy, (unfold) when flight is activated, and use engines like the rocket boots, but I will leave that up to the experts.
Thank you for allowing us the opportunity to provide this feedback

I've got to chime in with another vote for Broadsword. It's showing its age, and could use another glance from the powers that be.
Edit: Also..
Emote /e earpiece: The character brings their hand to their ear, like they do when activating the temporary power [IR Goggles].
Neutral animations for the Medicine Pool, please!
Regeneration's Moment of Glory's animation is wonderful, but the root does kill 3 seconds out of a 15 second duration power. If removing the root is in your scope of things, could you look into it?
Thanks!

Last I remember there were roaches (or some sort of beetley-bugs) swarming around on the floors. Did they send in an exterminator when I wasn't looking? Or is it just that other folks are not looking down? Once you know they're there, they add a definite dash of 'creepy-crawly' to the ambiance, IMO.|

On other fronts, I'd really love to get some customization for movement powers -- both the usual travel powers and the 'specialty sprints.' In particular, I've longed to be able to recolor the Power Slide effect from purple to blue ever since it came out. It seems so perfect for a surfing effect, I still can't believe it wasn't given a more watery hue.

Some FF, call up the Baphomet, type animation as a super-rare, craftable emote.
And, as a subjective note... please don't hand over everything as a freebie or a gimmie; make some of these things (costumes, animations, etc) also come as unlockables and craftable items please.
Apparently, I play "City of Shakespeare"
*Arc #95278-Gathering the Four Winds -3 step arc; challenging - 5 Ratings/3 Stars (still working out the kinks)
*Arc #177826-Lights, Camera, Scream! - 3 step arc, camp horror; try out in 1st person POV - 35 Ratings/4 Stars

Uch! NO! I hate unlockable costume pieces. I'd sooner pay money for them and have them available AT CHARACTER CREATION than have to wait an arbitrary amount of levels and do an arbitrary task to get an item that I'm probably not going to bother playing the character who needs it without.|

If I never see another unlockable costume piece it will be too soon. Either make them unlock for the whole account, sell them for real money or drop them in for free. There are PLENTY of other things to earn as rewards for boring, repetitive tasks. Costumes do not need to be among them.

Gotta agree with this, for my own 2 cents. The idea of unlockable pieces seems good on paper, but any character I make that would want them I wouldn't want to play without those pieces to begin with. Your mileage may, of course, vary.

Just wanted y'all to know that the Animation Department's been over this thread with a fine-toothed comb. We're already starting to prioritize.

I really support the idea of all current and future alternate animations getting a Random and Random Customized option.

Anyone else in favour of David being made the new Statesman, and making the name mean something decent again? =D

Friends don't let friends buy an ncsoft controlled project.
I know this is very hard, but could we please get a motorcycle effect for running powers, specifically super speed, if it is at all possible. This would give the natural human super heroes a more realistic transportation power past stealth.

You'd have to animate ALL the attacks + bike
You'd have to have a bike jump animation.
Would it be cool to have a bike power? Yes
Would it be realistic and achievable at this time? No

Biggest Troll on the forums? I'll give you a hint:
Quote:
The only one of those that's a real hurdle is the attacks one, which I would understand it not being done for. The other two, though, are fairly easily achievable (in animation terms, at least) comparatively - just have the bike turn sideways so that when you move sideways it goes the direction you're moving (some animations are kinda like this already) and with the jump you could just make it a 'wheelie' look. |

Of course, the amount of time it would take to do it in a non-lazy way? Yeah, I could see that being more than it was worth. Would still be cool though - and really, if they're already considering a hoverboard, it really is the same set of problems for that, too.
is it me or does it seem more pro active with their player base now adays? I commend the team for this and hope it continues!

Is it just me, or are those sewers really clean.. I mean, where are all the rats and other little creatures scurrying around?
Pedestrians walking their dogs would be great to see, as well as cats wandering around or running across roads, or just sitting somewhere with their tails swishing.
Rabbits or foxes perhaps in the park areas or wooded places such as Perez Park.
Other animals you'd expect to see. Fish swimming in lakes. Maybe more birds, some actually sitting in trees and bushes, in nests, as oppose to just flying
