Tights!

New Penny costume is a right step for what we need for new tights.
Keep in mind that tights means also skin tights, not only full body tights and patterns.
Add new plus versions (more basic, just a border seem and detailed cleavage like Witch top) of the more basic tights with skins.

Also I would love to see this or something similar:


Looks very superhero to me.
Nice belt,necklace, boots, top with skin also skirt.
Can we get that?

Would love a pin-up hairstyle, as well as new long hairstyles too.
Also, new hi-res fishnets options.
And a high heel retro folded boots.
Example:


Hi-res version of V low pattern tight skin with detailed cleavage, mask that looks like a cowl with some hair:

I love this belt and the boots.

Although the boots would be far more of a "want now" if they had decent-looking feet instead of the ugly, deformed high heel model all the other new heeled boots use. It would be nice just to have some textures other than "leather" available for the generic old-school thigh-high boots...the ones with the stylized feet instead of the "realistic" ones that are neither realistic or attractive.

don't understand why they don't work off the old high heel model, which is perfectly fine.

More basic pattern options for tights, please. Specifically more designs like the upper body pattern here. Something like Square Top without the loops on the biceps, or Sharp without the "Sharp" pattern on the arms.


And as for texture, how about adding in something like a button over flap option, sort of like this.


And count me in for full masks that stretch over the ears.

And speaking of masks, a white-eyes option would be all sorts of neat too. Like this.

good luck D.B.B.

Agreed on the white eyes option. The Organic Armor face has /perfect/ glowy eyes that can be colored, but the marks on the face leave it unusable for many concepts.

Again. Any patterns for chest please port to cowls too so chests and masks match.

Im going to go out on a limb here and say that while some not all of the community will appreciate the golden age type tights or costume ideas, but maybe we should look more in depth at tights and costumes on a futuristic level, after all most if not all vip members are playing incarnate level content and since the solo incarnate path is on beta and soon (tm) to be released, i have to say that maybe looking into the gods type of clothing i.e zeus' apparalls, and maybe just maybe, something galactus wears like his skirt sort of clothing and his helmet, after all ,us vip players need to be standing out, looking to help our fellow free players and having these costumes, with in built auras! could be what we need to stand out in the crowd, because we all play this game swapping toons every so often and cranking up the character slots full of 50's, it be nice to just have that one or two characters that are godly that have surpassed all that has come to light.

Infact, it would be an amazing idea simply because we can show off our level of power amongst the community, some costumes can even contain a small fraction of power, i.e again zeus' apparalls can contain a small minor base damage electricity/lightning aura of say 5-10 damage every 3 seconds, but of course this type of thing would have to be rare if not the rarest, and those that have this would show it off in godly fashion.

This has been an idea of mine since ive gotten myself into comic book style games and COH has to be the most in depth ive seen ever!

i opoligise to the OP for the long writing, i just wanted my idea to have some context to it so everyone can understand where im coming from.
i dont expect much from this, just a quick read over.

many thanks for this opportunity.

Take the Magic: The Gathering 'What Color Are You?' Quiz.

Costume parts have always been cosmetic, there's no need to start turning them into rare equipment with status for any reason, even to distinguish ourselves.

Back to topic... multicolored masks?

I def want "loose" natural tights a la golden age and/or those overweight alex ross justice league paintings. Loose tights for golden age old school, yo.

Also, how about a version of simple shiny leather boots like the ones we have now, but without that ridiculous boot seam on the back of the boot? And a big thick (tall) metal belt, like the Champion boxing belt but with no championship part. Just something like the back of the champion belt that goes all the way around?

But definately loose tights. Thanks.

Thanks for the backup, Thunder Knight. I was aiming to post something along those lines but never managed to find the right words. At any rate, it's that kind of elitist attitude about special equipment which dissuades me from playing certian other MMOs in the first place.

In terms of the current Incarnate themed pieces? I don't easily expect to use them in the near future since they don't fit to any concept that I like to make, and CoH has enough tools in its repertoire for me to make characters that "stand out" with the pieces I *do* use.

Hopefully with the Tights discussion here, and the previous Classic Age thread, that toolbox will grow for me and the (many) other people who lean towards those simpler pieces. Anything beyond that, in my opinion, is extra and secondary.

There is a super hero MMO out there that has powers tied to clothes, and imho it´s the definition of suck.

I played it in beta and yes, I am ashamed of myself

@Redcap

Oh good, everyone already said what needed to be said on that matter.

I'll add one more anyway; Costumes have no effect on powers. That's always been the way, and the way it should always be. End the hell of.

Besides, in games with stat-affecting costumes, until you grind and grind for all the best gear (which makes you look just like everyone else who also has the best gear) you look like a color-blind six-year-old with ADHD dressed you.

Generally, CoH has the enhancements as the "gear" - a lot of them are actually "equipment", like grenades, flight devices, magic rings and so on - but they're invisible.
