More customization in the weapons and spell effects. Assault Rifle, Katana, Broadsword, Axe, etc. should be able to customize the weapons to suite the look of the character (ie Gangster or Medieval vs. High Tech or Spandex).

Customization of spell effects would also be nice. Even if they stuck to the two color setup they use with Costumes it would be cool to see different colored spell effects on characters.

I mean custom colored chat bubbles are a nice novelty, but custom weapons and effects would be cool :)

Re: things I would like to see

Well, I made a new character 2 days ago I call Mudwasp and I would love to see insect wings and maybe insect-like hands and feet. They put bug eyes and antenna, but, they have no other "bug" look.

For the original poster, you can get barefeet and it's actually listed as such. I think it's in the first setting in the boots menu. I have seen many barefoot heroes, both, male and female running around the city.

Re: things I would like to see

Capes are finally comming, the devs say they should be here either with Update #2 or possibly even before. However you will have to EARN your cape, and you must be lvl 20 to do so. Which I feel is a good idea so everyone isnt running around with a cape the day they go live. They also have a good backstory as to why you have to earn them so that makes it ok as well.

They are also adding Web Slinging, and Wall Crawling, which is said to come around Update #3.

Update #2, which is schedualed for October/November release, is said to be adding new AT's, new powers to existing AT's, new power pool's and "New Reasons to Explore the City." along with a few other things, all this new content will add alot to the game and should hold us over untill City of Villians gets here.

Also a Respec will be added with the next big update that will give players the chance to take part in a Trial which will allow you, if completed sucessfully, to redo all of your powers.

Re: things I would like to see

One of the things i would most like to see in coh is a different sound for the different weapons being pulled.... the sound for my blaster pulling her big ole gun is the same sound that my tank makes when pulling her battle axe, and frankly i've never know axes to make that kind of noise.

Re: things I would like to see

All of the other things mentioned are good ideas. However the one thing that I would most like added to the game. Is the ability to try out a new power before I am fully committed to it. I have deleted countless characters and had to start over because of the game's inability to truly let us players know how a certain power is going to impact us. And what works for one indiviual may not work for someone else due to a difference in tactics or personal preferrence.

There are different ways the developers could accomplish this, but I would suggest the following: which would be through the use of a in-game simulator. Have your character step up to a terminal choose a particular archtype and power set and basically do a mock-up character. And then allow that mock-up to be taken out for a test spin so to speak. To ensure that players weren't spending all thier time playing mock-up characters the developers could put a time limit on the mock-up. I feel five to ten minutes would be more than sufficient to give one the feel for a certain power or power set.

Re: things I would like to see

Alas, you do have that ability! Once you level, go to the trainer and log out. Copy your character to the test server, login to the test server and choose the questionable power. Test it out, and if you like it, choose it on your own server.

This is something I regret not doing after I chose Inferno in the Fire Blaster line, but you live, you learn.

Re: things I would like to see

Thought of something else I would like to see added, another row of holder slots for enhancements. I hate being half way thru a mission and all the place holders for enhancements are full. It's ridiculous to run off and sell them in the middle of a mission(had that happen a few weeks ago) and even worse to delete them if all your slots are maxed out and you can't use any.

And here's a thought going on the using the trial room for trying powers before you commit to them in the real game. Have the programmers put a code where you can enter a password to activate all the powers your hero has in the powersets. Make it last for about an hour and you can only use it once for each of the heroes you create. No XP, no enhancements or inspirations given, just the ability to see the character you created maxed out and see what he/she will be able to do when you finally reach the top level. Not a cheat code per say, because you would get nothing for using it, just a "here are things to come" code. And to keep people from just jumping in, hacking and slasing and jumping off again, totally POing gamers off, have a special zone set aside where everyone knows that the code users are hanging out.

Re: things I would like to see

Oh I dont know how to describe this, but you know the slots your powers are in, you can only have 2 show up so if you have more then 20 powers you cant see them and have to toggle back and forth and I HATE that I would like to be able to see 3 power trays

Test Server! Test out your power before you choose!!!!

Where O Where? How? I went to the log on and server selection screens and I don't see what your talking about. Do you have to be ready to level or be standing by the trainer or both?

1> Find your CoH icon on your desktop. Right click it, select copy and paste the copy to your desktop.

2> You should now have an icon that says Copy of City of Heroes on your desktop. Right Click it, choose properties and add -test after the CoHUpdater.exe" line in target.

3> Click the Copy of City of Heroes and allow the updater to install the Test Server.

4> Go to the City of Heroes Character Copy Tool located at https://secure.cityofheroes.com/cgi-bin/coh_transfer.pl and choose the server you would like to copy from.

5> Choose the character from the drop-down menu and it should inform you that the character is in the Que for copy and should take less than 5 minutes.

Re: things I would like to see

I copied and tried to add the -test after the .exe, and it I get a message back saying that that file doesn't exist. What did I do wrong?

Thanks for the help

Re: things I would like to see

Hmm...dunno..did you leave the quotation mark in?

The Target line needs to end like this...

\CohUpdater.exe" -test

Make sure you don't backspace the " and leave a space in there.

This should cause the client to download the training room test server for you.

Re: things I would like to see

I just thought of something I would like to see in the game, I would like to actually see the fires around the city hurt the bad guys, what a great set up for the harder to kill bad guys...but, in the same thought, I guess they would have to make the fire hurt us as well. I still think it would be a great ambush ploy for the solo players to be able to draw a small mob to run through the fires and damage themselve at the same time helping us defeat them. Although, if you have one of the fire powersets, you could be immune to the effects of the fires...Hhhhhmmmmm!

Re: things I would like to see

I would like to see more added in the way of Cloaks and Robes for Heroes. Some of the CoT have some pretty cool robes, but why are robes only for villians? We have the option in the character creation screen to choose hoods, but really they are pretty pointless without cloaks and robes to go with them.

Re: things I would like to see

you know when you go to make a hero, there is Female, male, and huge, but Huge is a man, why not make another female choice!!!

I agree, not to make it sound sexist, but, I wish they had a Huge Female to choose as a body type.

Re: things I would like to see

It would be cool to have more options in the way of body design all around. In many of the EA sports titles you can make practically any body type and face type. I want to play a really fat character like "The Blob" from Marvel, but I don't have that option.

Custom designing your powers visual effects would be cool. I would love to see variation in the claw, sword and gun types.

I would also like to see more special reward type things for Task Force Missions. Things like permentant bounses to health, or powers, or even things that the charcater can wear like medals or ribbons just stuff to say I accomplished something.

Re: things I would like to see

I would like to see a RANGE-based POWER POOL. I heard rumour about the 'archery' set from a tsoo minion and wonders if we going to get an 'archery' power pool?

This can help controller/defender who use their crowd control ability to hold the foes down and then hit them from afar.

Actually other races would have been cool too. I mean as long as Heroes can be mutants why not animal-hybrid types of mutations?
