Female Mastermind Pets Suggestion

They're afraid of this:

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

I am totally onboard with this. I support fully the concept of the pet summons picking gender randomly so I might get male or female. I run a female MM named Munitions Mistress who would love to have a little mix in the squad. I just don't understand why the devs have stood so form for so long on this.

I have always said we needed new skins for the pets. While not nessesarly female skins, I do think new skins should be added. The can even be done via the power customization options, but instead of alternate animations they change the look of the toon and allow some colour customization.

Thugs: A mafia set is needed, and I can see a female thug set ala the Rocket Girls.

Mercs: I could see a KoA skin in there, along with a WW2 style of soldier.

Robots: I could see a fem bot option, yeah.

Zombies: I got nothing on this one, ATM.

Ninja: Female ninjas for the win.

Demons: I'd rather not see a female option for this one, personally. Instead I'd like to see another beastial skin.

For your consideration:

There are female minions in the game. Take Soul Mastery, you've got your Fortunatas and Widows.

Off to make Pimp Spider as proof of concept bwahaahahhaahaha.

I started an open letter in the all access forums if anyone is interested in signing it.

This is sort of a goofy demand you've got, I wouldn't play any of these sets if the robotics in example (which are neither, male nor female) spawned Victorias. Throw a female ninja-skin into the Ninja set? Sure. But demanding that each Mastermind Set receive a female and crying the 'sexism card" is absolutely stupid.

Just an opinion.

I am all for the idea of female minions for masterminds especially if it opens the way to customizing minions in general. I would love to make my bots look a lil less clunky and old fashioned and a little more clockwork style. I am in full support and if someone decides to be a total perv let them suffer mod-wrath as long as it is justified, stop treating us like children and give us back our creations. Hell I've read enough comics to know that half the time they aren't original ideas either.

As far as comics go, google Wonder Woman covers and see how many times she's shown strapped to a rocket/missile/other phallic item. If the Devs are worried about kids seeing things then the sub should include a free copy of NetNanny ahnd a deactivation of the subscriber's internet porn and cable t.v.

Using a massive censorship bat for the (estimating) 12 players that MIGHT abuse the system is crazy IMHO.

A female version for all pets it´s my dream for a long time. I Can´t say that i will not make a bikini squad, because that´s the first thing that i will do, but search for Bikini in Architect Missions and that reply will be huge. I don´t care if it´s VIP only or anything else, just let we customize our pets and stop with the sexism.

Yah i agree there needs to be some female pet options.

I am glad that they finaly put some actual females into the Dark Astoria Area...

but not have even Female Ninjas or maybe Female Mercs is just plain....sad.

Yes i too have heard all the idiocy reason why they shouldnt.....but no actual valid reasons where ever made of why they never did female master mind pets.

I mean its strange this is seriously one of the points inthe game that would let some of the developers really show ofd soem of their incredible talent and creativity.

And it would be something that they could put into a patch and make that patch look like it has some really good stuff...also it would be a perfect item to have as a something to get from the store....(ALTERNATE MASTER MIND PET OPTIONS #1....400 Pts)

Then maybe they would finaly release (DOPPLEGANGER PET OPTION #1)
so that players could make their pets look like them or their phantom army look exactly liek them...for that ultimate decoy feeling and usage....

Just going to say that several people in this thread and on the suggestion forum thread mentioned female npc toons. An example is the last poster PsychicKitty. Just remember that these are NPC with scripted moves and commands and not under the control of players.

Personally I want to say this will never happen. But I'm smart enough to know never say never. But for many reasons I think this produces more work for them. Not the creation of them but the policing of them.

What many seem to be failing to see that you are going to create an increase in reporting issues. Not only for the names but for the emotes and scripts that smart players will be using. Yea you can generic a players name but you can't generic pets name. Unless your now going to request them to have that ability to punish abusers.

Again I have been asking for Gun Drone just be summoned while flying for years. They just fixed it

I've been asking for Group Fly fix for 4 years and counting. None of these are controversial debates or issues and they just addressed Gun Drone.

Your asking them to do more work just maintaining this and its not going to happen.

I vote yes for female minions, don't the controllers or defenders have some sort of minion ("Decoys" I think they are called) that are female? 2 male, 1 female, if so, the Devs have already put themselves in a possibly threatening position, so why not just take the plunge deeper with the female decoy and make it a henchmen choice?

If female minions become an option, I would really like to see another MM set come out, the minions would be "Nightmares"--female unicorns armed with scythes and pitchforks. They would have poorly nailed horse shoes with blood staining and a gut-wrenching equine roar when summoned. They need to have small beady red eyes recessed in a dark void of an eye socket and pant a grey death like breath. They would wear some sort of CoT leotard poncho that is slightly tattered. The last minion to be earned in this set would be a Baphomet (maybe, might be a creature minion reserved for Demon MM, had they done the set right with hell hounds and blood vomiting pigs).

Hey,
Just thought I should clarify a creature/minion concept that many of you might not be familiar with but when I suggested a "Nightmare" MM set, I am referencing to an idea in an anime called "Ragnarok" in which a creature that is called a Nightmare confronts the main protagonist, the creature is half horse, a female horse is called a mare, that is why the name is clever, its a
(dream at night) + (female horse-->mare) = nightmare, if we are not allowed female minions, this MM set is impossible, it would be called "Night-stallion" what the heck is a night-stallion? Sounds like a certain type of bar if you know what I mean.

Oh, concerning a female demon, a baphomet I don't think has ever been used as an npc enemy in CoH/CoV, so just give the baphomet some clothing and your set to go on that one.

As for the female zombie option, a "Mommy", get it? A mummy, but female,... you can shoot me now.
