As a goth, I agree but I'd rather have a Supernatural Booster pack more.

So an Emogoth Vampire pack. Right?|

Do we have to open a Hot Topic in Paragon City too?
Clicking on the linked image above will take you off the City of Heroes site. However, the guides will be linked back here.
Just about every costume piece that came out with City of Villains would fulfill the Dark Gothy theme.
Robes won't be done for tech reasons, think about how something like Martial Arts would look like with robes.
Scythes would need an entirely new powerset to go alongside it.
The point is, we have plenty of options for Grimdark dark grim grimish darkly dark grimmerishness.
Current Published Arcs
#1 "Too Drunk to be Alcoholic" Arc #48942
#2 "To Slay Sleeping Dragons" Arc #111486
#3 "Stop Calling Me"
We've already got plenty of gothic dark emo crap.
A scythe could go with maybe katana? With the way one with have to hold it. I do understand that we have a lot of creepy looking costumes, but I would like an all over robe like the Grim reaper, or like how the Tsoo sorcerors has. Just want something to cover up the feet without having to use the long martial arts rob and then try kilts.
Robes/skirts that are long enough to reach the ground do not work with current character models/animations. According to redname posts (do not have links, sorry), the devs have tried to make full length robes but they looked too awful too often to be released.
You might be able to get a similar look with a hood+high collar cape, perhaps?
A shortened, double sided, sort-of-scythe could be a battle axe custom weapon, similar to the already existing pickaxe.
Other things I can think of as 'dark' (skulls, leather with many buckles, hoods, etc) already exist. If there is something else - name it.
I do not suffer from altitis, I enjoy every character of it.

And numerous facepaint options for the black make-up crowd.
While we have no scythe, I kind of like the Khopesh options for the Broadsword and Dual Blades.
Long robes and dresses are possible - but there are some big clipping issues, apparently - people like the CoT or Tsoo can have them because their range of emotes and power animations are way fewer than the stuff we can do.

Yup. Auras at L30+ and Power Customization of defensive toggles, right?|

I almost want to roll a Dark Armor Scrapper to see how Sparkly Shiny I can get with my Darkity-Netherworld powers.
Oh, and replace all those floating skulls with smily-faces.
Okay enough with the Goth bashing. Makes me feel a tad unwanted...

How about we try to come up with some new costume parts that fit the theme without being redundant with what we already have?
I could go for some method of going see-through without having to run a Stealth power or grabbing the appropriate IO. (I have a ghost character that I tried to do a long time ago, but deleted out of frustration)
But what else would you put in the new Booster Pack?
And how would it it fit into a comic-booky game?

well, in the all things art thread, i did suggest that you coudl roll a number of gothic looking costume options into the "supernatural" booster as it is a common and popular conception of vampires, guess we will see soon enough if that happens.

As well as robes and long cloaks fit in with Super Heroes... they aren't going to include costume pieces that would interfere with animations for any power.|

Heck, I already wish the devs had played closer attention when introducing Shields. I can't stand how some of the best looking shields constantly clip through the player when they are just running around.
As for a Scythe? Yeah, maybe we'll get a scythe when we finally get staff and spear combat sets... which are in the 'long way off if ever' category.
Now, I could easily see a sickle skin used for an Axe, though.
