Ideas for new costume features

Greetings fellow purveyors of Villainy,

Don't know if this topic has been posted before, but I'm curious to know what costume features would you like to see put into the game?

I would love the following:

Robes (non martial art) - Especially for magic characters who want to create some traditional wizard types.

Doctor's robe - To complement the mad scientist/evil doctor look. It would be great to be able to add surgeon gloves and blood stains.

Wings - Ranging from evil pixie to fiercesome demonspawn. Also, it would definitely help create the sexy succubus.

More Military options - Some new military style combat and dress uniform (hint...hint...for making the perfect naziesque villain)

Mummy wraps

RE: Ideas for new costume features

I think a nice option as far as costumes go would be to costume or customize your pets. Zombies with Hawaiin shirts, Ninjas in pastel colors, mercs in matching jumpsuits or armor. The ability to choose various heads arms and feet for your robots would be nice as well.

For your regular character,

Hawaiin shirt
Grass skirt
Tux
Evening dress
Leaderhosen(sorry no idea how to spell that)
Clown shoes
clown nose
clown hair
and more!!!

RE: Ideas for new costume features

I guess its not really a costume part but i would like to see costumes get ripped a bit or torn throughout your healthbar to show the situation your in and a little more realism

Also, i would like to see those belts with those special sword pocket (forgot what you call it) for blade or katana ppl

RE: Ideas for new costume features

Avion, Valkyrie, Angel type wings i think this should be in the catagory of capes and auras. It would be cool to be a type of dark, death, fallen angel type villian.

Also real tails that actually look right. The tails now look like stick ons. This isnt a costume idea but in the wrestling games u can make your character's stance. I think that would be cool.

I think with the medievil helms either make more or delete the option u can only choose between like 4 helments(on the hero side).

Oh and the sword pocket thingie i believe it is called a sheath or something like that.

RE: Ideas for new costume features

I totally agree with the first poster, the second one has some idea's but thoses would be for second slot and horseing around, third it's a scrapard and yes i want them with a dagger or sowerd, also back sheeths too, last guy? no, I want the wings and stuff at start, you can't have a cool character suddenlly TADA i have wings, no I want them to be in the begining, and yes maybe the bigger flameing wings or glowing angelig wings something more to take up a cape section, and yes fix the tails moveing swinging gravity friendlly tails and more choices too, wolf, and fetherd things, maybe even fanned like letary fins, OH and pointy ears, like in COH, and more monster heads, more helms and let's get the other special helms for all not just pre orderers, i mean come on it was a dorky idea to have random helms based on who you bought or orderd from, *pouts at her crab spider helm

ok that's my rant, carry on

RE: Ideas for new costume features

I believe the sword-holder word you're searching for is 'scabbard.' They can be on your back, belt, whatever.

As far as wings, they are planned, at least for CoH, as a future epic AT, ala the warshades/peace bringers. I believe statesman called it the 'avian' AT. I imagine you'd need to do something (like hit level 50) to unlock this AT. Seems like it's a ways off yet tough...maybe I8 or even I9 due to the fact that all new animations need to be created for each combination of wing type and/or power type.

RE: Ideas for new costume features

By then i wont be playing Cov/Coh any more. I already stoped playing CoH so what use is it for me. I need 2 stop ranting and raving. Why would they need the new animations u already got the behemoths with tattered wings.

How about getting a dark servant type costume effect. I say this b/c u cant mimic this effect with auras/powers.

Also how about real claws like the shivans/warwolf/behemoth. It seems that cot always get what we want wizard robes, wings, and very complex and uber base designs i hate them even more now.

RE: Ideas for new costume features

u kno i think that the wings should be a cape type thing. They should definitely be unlockable. I would like shields,more hats, and customizable power animations. Tech chars would have a jetpack when they fly, but maybe a mutant would have wings. A motorcycle for SS, or maybe a horse, or a ice slide.

RE: Ideas for new costume features

Wings wouldnt be that hard to implement. They already have them on the Behemoths and some of the spectral Daemons. They'd just have to re-skin them with feathers and the like. That being said, I'd want them from the beginning. It doesnt make sense, "I started without wings then BAM!, they grew in at level 20(or whatever level)."

Id also like to see reptilian heads (Snakes), waist capes (Fortunata Seers), and better/more tails.

RE: Ideas for new costume features

well, it depends if the wings had any function, if they didnt do anything, then sure get em at the start, but if they allowed you flight, you should have to earn them. If you think about it you could make it make sense...mutation could just be your character evolved and gained wings, science could be you did another experiment on yourself and got wings...etc etc. thats my two infamy....my last two...gone...

RE: Ideas for new costume features

I have to disagree, Wings would be hard to input. You have to create the flying animation, the landing animation, the take off animation, the folding up so you can walk through doors animation, the take off animation. Do they flap differently when you power dive than when you soar upwards? more animations. What is the spread on the wings? Cant use big wings in little cavern tunnels. So yes wings would take a long time to design and test.

Now as to when you get them I would have to say right away. It would attract more players to try the new alt. How many players actually make it to 40 as a percentage to "earn" their wings so to speak. Maybe some type of advance flying tactic for those with wings who hit 40 would be good. The ability to swoop down grab your foe take him high and drop him would be cool. Of course thats another animation.

I agree on more helm choices and more tail choices. Also more monster heads in general would be nice.

RE: Ideas for new costume features

Ever see Hawkgirl from the Justice League cartoon? She doesnt spread her wings to fly, she just kinda flies like super man does. I'd be happy just having them as a costume option. They dont even have to do anything, just sit on my back and look pretty. The CoT behemoths wings dont give them flight do they? :)

RE: Ideas for new costume features

ok ok im giving in, youd give them right away but i still think you should get something when you hit 40 for your wings...maybe a selection of powers for them or faster flight or SOMETHING...idk lol thanks for your time!!

Ah, I almost forgot....I would love a hood feature. For those of you who remember, think Cobra Commander.

That would be my number one request!

RE: Ideas for new costume features

I agree with most of the above suggestions.
I really like to see wings, dragons for the shoulders would be nice. I love the shoulder animals.
I like to be able to have a spiked collar and shoulder pads or animals at the same time.
I like a better range of anime costumes.
I also like the huge to have a female aspect and more costume parts period.

RE: Ideas for new costume features

The wing idea is one of the best ideas. I think it doesnt have 2 have so many animations, for exampl, when u use regular flight the animation is pretty much the same as if u have jumped. The only difference is that u have these wind, jet stream, thingies comng fomr your hands and feet. I just think that the animation for wing flight should be fold up and spread out. The wings should be the same size as the angel's wings in that awful Constantine movie. Nobody wants wings so big that they are huge and black doorways, ppls view, and r a problem in cave type missions.

OK if they give a type of bonus like the accolade powers then the wings should be unlockable. Besides that they should be available from the start.

How about capes that arent like starched fabric. Not all of the cape options are like this but i am talking about the basic capes. They should kinda be like spawn's cape in design where it wraps around the character and possibly select the length of the cape. I am not talking about selecting short or long i am talking about an actual meter because the short capes r like bibs 4 your back and the long ones r just not long enough.

Besides all that i want to be able 2 use CoT's costume design. Robes, wings, hats, monster faces, claws, talons, and i mean every single costume design.
