There is so much functionality of the Avatar builder to understand before requesting specific pieces.

I'm not speaking to the functions we may not be able to use. I'm speaking to the functionality that will surpass what you can do in CoH. The moving/stretching icons on the body will go a long way to creating truly unique shapes*.

That's just one aspect of how this AB is not limited (or require devs make each particular individual piece in post-production) by the limitations of CoH. There are surely more examples

I can ask for anything I want without understanding a thing
And they can say no if it can't be done or if it's too much trouble.

Obviously you can ask for and/or suggest anything you want. Still a free forum more or less.

But if you actually have some understanding about what you're asking for you'll be able to self-censor yourself and not bother asking for things that are clearly either silly or more-or-less a waste of time.

It really doesn't take much effort to ask for "reasonably intelligent" things, not just "anything that comes to mind".

We really have no idea how CoT will be handling "cowl neck lengths" or how they'll relate to tops. For all we know there'll be no need to use a necklace to "cover a gap" there.
That being said I do hope we'll have a bunch of necklace/choker options regardless.

I immediately looked at your picture after you said that and said, "hmmmmm, very fitting statement" :p

I agree with you that it's way too early to start asking for specifics, but I just want to put it out there that I really hope the Carnival of Light costume set(whether exact or similar) makes it's way into the costume creator, just sayin'

It's funny I wasn't thinking of that specifically but I suppose having a wide choker/collar like that would allow for better Maleficent clones. :)

Getting back to the idea Cyclops started the thread with I assume people will eventually figure out all sorts of ways to mix-n-match the new costume options for CoT to not only cover up "gaps" and other clipping issues but come up with unique styles the Devs never envisioned. People became really clever pushing CoH to the limits so no reason to think the same won't happen in CoT.

Just need some good collar options! I've been using collars on my main since the beginning! First it was the Spiked Collar of CoH, now it's the Dogz Collar in CO, but I want the collar! And no, it's not for any other reason than back in CoH, I just thought the neck needed something to hide the breakline point on the avatar, so it's just become a fashion choice. :p

Also, I'd love to get two tail scarf back. In CO I only have one tail on my scarf, it's just not the same!

Yes! Collars, chokers, whatever!
and I agree with you, the two tail scarf is a must!

I want more than a choker. I want the collar. :p

Would it tether the one player? If we can have that emote, then I would think hope for grapples!

This is true. I heard they were giving us unlimited spools of chain, barbed wire, and razor wire and we have total body freedom to wrap it wherever.

I am pretty sure that's in there. :-)

I'll leave you to the whole idea of wrapping barbed/razor wire around whatever body parts you want. I suppose the more design freedom we get with costume creators in games the more we'll have to decide how we'll want to handle the inevitable "barbed wire bikinis" that follow. ;)

I thought the idea of a barbed wire bikini was to discourage handling.

One thing that I was thinking of recently was using a piece of jewelry or clothing as a weapon... Like the knife boot, or using the big chain/barbed wire necklace as a melee weapon would be kind of cool. I guess this would work mainly for players who are going for a vigilante or villain character but I was just thinking it might add a bit of flavor to brawl type characters.

To recall something fairly recent that I watched. In American Horror Story Lady Gaga used a glove with fake metal nails on it to kill people. It will be interesting to see if anything similar to this gets created by the Lethal Weapon Kickstarter backers
