Can you seriously imagine the reaction when the Tank on your team looks like this?!!!
I cannot begin to list all the awesome of this look.
Devs, if the players cannot look like this at least give us a giant fire monster to fight. Every game needs a balrog lose in the city.

Techno-Mage. This has to be a gunner. armor and ranged attacks.
1) the hair is actually a hood that turns into a scarf cape.AND there is a nice butt-cape.
2) the half armor suit is wonderful
3) the staff...another wonderful staff. glowy is good.
4) the floating gem is another nice touch...[u]this could easily be a floating pet/firing point.[/u] and it screams for a little animation with this pose.
no cleavage but feminine...overall it is a great costume.

Once you put those on, you're a Cripple, unable to touch anything without 'killing' it. Can't open a door, can't eat or drink, and probably can't take the claws off without help. They're very cinematic, but impractical and a bit ridiculous.
I don't disagree with any comment in the post, except for this bit. What is 'feminine' about this outfit? Is it the lack of pants?
Be Well!

I was wondering the same thing. My guess would be that it was skin tight and it looked to have garters as part of the outfit without actually being garters.
Um, the tank on my team looks like this: [URL=http://s105.photobucket.com/user/fireheart5150/media/My%20Characters/StonewallJack4.jpg.html][IMG]http://i105.photobucket.com/albums/m207/fireheart5150/My%20Characters/th_StonewallJack4.jpg[/IMG][/URL] <<-- Click to view larger.

I like the finger claws, sans large sword blades.
I like the bracers, but as separate from the claw assembly.
Basically, I am hoping for short- or opera-length gloves with finger claws, which would be great for a human character whose costume is feline-themed!

It would be cool if the finger-claws were retractable. so the predator-themed character could be soft-pawed when appropriate.

just for you, another look at the techno-mage. I like this particular color scheme better.
It is possible we could get something like this at launch. BTW, does the hood look somewhat solid to you? Is this more of a helmet?
Devs, I really like the solid hood here. Note the seams. and the butt cape...we never really got butt capes in COH

Not sure if helmet, maybe reinforced hood with a matching/"integrated" circular high-collar?
Well, outside of the garter design for the leggings it's really good. Personally I would prefer "full pants" there.
Ehhhhh, almost too much going on. Feels like a quarian :p I dig the blades though.

I liked it. The question wasn't about it having garters, but what made it feminine. :p Truthfully, to me, the armor looked like it could have easily been worn by a male.

Straps! Long gloves! Leotard! Thigh high boots! None of which looks like cloth!
I like the aesthetic of the technomages, but the issue I have is if you suppose any kind of thickness to what they're wearing then the women are unhealthily thin or possibly cyborgs. I'd like to have tech-armor like this that supposes an actual average (or super-average) person is inside it.
Eh, never let what others think sway awesomeness!
Not to mention, most people don't know what unhealthily thin is, on the internet :p
They look pretty cyborg to me, but yeah, if not that's some skeletal woman under there.

I was simply pointing out we have Devs in this game who are likely going to dismiss/reject certain [b]costume item suggestions[/b] (the topic of [b]THIS thread[/b]) based on subjective, undefinable qualities such as "offensiveness" and idiotic arguments like "a few people I know don't like it so it must be universally bad". I very briefly mentioned the "other" thread (or the infamous details related to it) simply to prove the point that those Devs actually exist. You my friend are the one who decided to provide a detailed summary (with links and people's names) to that "other" thread here. Even I had the good sense NOT to do that.
People like you claim I'm obsessed with the topic of that "other" thread, even though once again the issues of [b]THIS thread[/b] are related to costume items. Well, hypocrisy thy name is Brainbot because you always seem to be Johnny-on-the-spot to "oppose me" whenever anything remotely related to this comes up. If I'm obsessed over all this what does that make you? Frankly the lesson you haven't quite learned yet is that you (in particular perhaps) have to IGNORE me on these topics. The only "memory of a goldfish" I need to have access to is that these topics continue to stir up the "righteous indignation" of the Holier than Thou types like yourself. Your bitter frustration over me on this will forever be mana to my soul.
Seriously Interdictor - please pay attention. As I just pointed out my recent posts here were about the concerns that we have potentially overzealous Devs that might prevent certain [b]costume items[/b] from being in the game due to nebulous fears that they might be "offensive" to a tiny handful of people.
It was frankly your own blind lack of attention that made you think (perhaps based on Brainbot's single-minded ranting) that I was trying to talk about that "other" topic here. As you keenly point out that "other" thread (by the grace of some devil from the ninth plane of Hell) still exists so had I actually WANTED to talk about the topic of that "other" thread I could have talked about it there.
Again (one more time in case it continues to be unclear to you) that's ALL I was talking about here. I'm not stupid enough to directly LINK this thread to other threads, especially -that- one.
I genuinely fear we are not going to get certain [b]costume items[/b] based on hyper-reactionary knee-jerks from certain Devs and their ungrounded claims of inappropriateness. You certainly don't have to agree with me on THAT point, but at least keep up with which topic you are disagreeing with me about.

I don't feel that any level of 'Dev-hate' is justified, nor speculation about what Devs might choose to censor, or not, nor Dev attitudes leading to such choices. Not without a lot more evidence. There's certainly no need for Fear.
In the current argument, I feel that the notion of smoothly integrating tops and bottoms, so that they can be presented as a single unit, is a good one. Also, the idea of more carefully unified textures is germane - I have screen-caps of the way mismatched textures caused discolored gloves in CoH. And don't tempt me to go into my rant about Feet! (I'm willing to discuss both of these issues, with pictures, if requested, just not here.)
Be Well!
Fireheart
Hey - you were the one who DIRECTLY referenced the jiggle nonsense multiple times in your post as some kind of evidence in your rant about the "censorship" this game now faces by these "overzealous" devs. That's on you - please drop it.
As for the costume items - there may indeed be a difference of opinion between what you and the devs deem "inappropriate." While I don't think the devs are going to go too deep into the fanservice pool, I also don't think they are going to be prudes about this either. This is going to be a rated "T" game, but you can get away with a lot in a teen game. Bikinis should be fine for instance, and the supers genre is rife with similar outfits on the printed page. Even CoH outfits could show quite a bit of skin and cleavage. I just don't share the emotions you seem to have over this whole subject nor do I understand the accusatory tone you take when you reference it and the devs' supposed "unmitigated gall".
I had to at least indirectly mention Tannim because he's specifically the Dev in question. He made his stupidly wild claims/assertions in that "other" thread. I DIDN'T TALK ABOUT JIGGLE IN THIS THREAD AT ALL other than to prove that he in fact said what I'm claiming he said. Why can't you understand that?
I'm sorry Tannim made an nearly-unforgivable ass of himself in the "other" thread. Unfortunately in order to call him out on his mistake I had to REFERENCE that thread we all love to hate. Get it?
I don't like the idea of Devs whimsically tossing ideas to the curb based ONLY on stupidly unsupportable theories like "a couple of people I know hate X so it's not going in the game". That's probably just about the absolutely WORST way to make decisions for a game that potentially thousands of people might play and we had a Dev OUTRIGHT ADMIT that's exactly how he approached a particular issue.
If Tannim can so causally dismiss one idea what's to stop him or his fellow Devs from doing it again based on a equally flimsy rationale? If what Tannim showed us these Devs are capable of doesn't scare you then (for your sake) I can only assume you're simply too drunk on the "we love the Devs unconditionally" kool-aid to be properly concerned. Do I even have to remind you we're coming up on four years worth of development and we haven't even seen a public beta of the Avatar Builder yet?

[IMG=400x225]https://i.imgur.com/NHUthWM.jpeg[/IMG]
I think there's always the need to be "reasonably skeptical" at any rate. And until we start to get -anything- in the form of a playable beta we have every reason to doubt these Devs at least as far as what they claim (or don't claim) will be their process for choosing which features/items end up in the game.
If this game ends up including thongs, cleavage, whips, ballet boots or any number of other items which might be even remotely considered "questionable" then all of my "fears" here about costume item censorship will obviously be rendered moot. But if this game swings the other way and ends up arguably more conservative than even CoH was then things will be different. My key point is that we've seen literally NOTHING to suggest which way CoT is going in this regard. Do we even know we're going to at least get as many options as we had in CoH? No, we really don't.
Sadly all we really have to go on to predict how liberal or conservative the costume selection will be in this game is the hyper-reactionary knee-jerks of a particular Dev when confronted with a cosmetic feature he didn't like. Frankly that doesn't fill me with any "warm fuzzies" for the future of this game by any stretch of the imagination.

And I was simply pointing out that like usual you have manipulated facts to serve your agenda. You are doing it right here. Tannim's reply was directly related to a comment made by Brand X.
Specifically:
to which Tannim replied:
You then got all huffy over the use of the word 'ridiculously' and Tannim explained that to some women any breast physics are ridiculous. He even stated that it is his belief that the majority of female gamers do not want any breast physics at all.
Tannim's 'opinion' wasn't the reason breast physics were not being done, his opinions were a counterpoint to a point made by Brand X.
And no I am not going to ignore you when you try and manipulate facts. You may not be willing to see the truth but at least others can look for themselves and make up their own mind.
Case in point:
I don't think I have ever said you were obsessed. This is just another example of you making something up so you can argue against it.
You are a prolific poster and the crap you spew has an effect on the community. This fear you have about not getting costume items comes from a faulty assumption (or more likely manipulative assertion) that the devs based their decision on a conversation with their family.
I don't care if you are upset with the devs over a feature or lack of one and want to rally against it but you should be honest about what actually happened.
These kinds of misrepresentation snowball into unfounded accusations like those that the 3DScammer fools tried.
I suppose I should (at the very least) be flattered you think my musings on -any- subject here would have an effect on the future of the game one way or another. I find it ironic that I've been one of the biggest Dev cheerleaders for years on this forum and then when we come across one of the very FEW things I've ever actually directly questioned the Devs about (their assumed ability to prioritize things for this game on a consistently objective engineering basis) people like you pop out of the woodwork to be their self-appointed champions -against- me. The juxtaposition is simply delicious.
Sadly since the "community" you're worried I'll corrupt only currently consists of what, maybe 20 regulars I really doubt the "crap" that I spew here will be wide-spread regardless. It may sound funny to you but I desperately hope I'm wrong about Tannim and the other Devs. Unfortunately they are showing us nothing tangible to prove what I'm saying here conclusively wrong.
CoH player from April 25, 2004 to November 30, 2012
[IMG=400x225]https://i.imgur.com/NHUthWM.jpeg[/IMG]
I am not championing the devs, I am championing the truth.
You were right that Tannim made a mistake stating his [b]opinion[/b] because it could easily be misconstrued, as you have done. I am sure even he thinks it was a mistake which is why he isn't commenting further.
Like I said, you can make all the arguments you want on the topic. I would argue that as a kickstarter donor your voice should be heard more than mine. I will further state you can be as upset about Tannim's opinion as you want. I don't even agree with it (I posted links to articles that state the opposite) but it is not the determining factor in their decision to not include that feature.
C'mon, you know full well that it's not just 'maybe 20 regulars'.
There are almost 21 thousand registered users. Presumably the 5000 donators are part of that number. Even if we take a modest estimation of 500 weekly visitors (including those unregistered), they can have a significant impact on their immediate social group.
With so many outlets for misinformation to spread (reddit, youtube, facebook, ect ect ect) and with you being one of the most if not [b]the[/b] most prolific posters, why feed the fire of falsehood? Many people do not investigate things further than the immediate and so when they read that the devs decided not to include a feature because they were prudish it becomes fact to them.
You said you were 'reasonably skeptical' and I mostly agree with that thinking, though I prefer the term 'trust but verify'. You have doubt until proven otherwise, I trust until proven otherwise. Neither is wrong. You are free to be concerned the dev might be too cautious and even use Tannim's opinion as an example of that possibility. But it just does not sit right with me to over claim someone elses position to bolster your own.
So...
How about Skirts? I'd like to see lots of different lengths of skirts. I'd like to see Tunics, which are shirts that hang below the belt-line, and thus have skirts. It would be nice to have skirts that hang below the knee. And, of course, these skirts should integrate seamlessly with various tops, to form dresses... or tunics.
Yeah, let's discuss costumes.
Be Well!

This is starting to get into the territory of personal attacks, so it's probably best that this line of conversation ends for your sake. Calm down.
There is no Kool-Aid here. It's just that at the moment we don't have all the info and I have no desire to fume about imagined slights or phantom assumptions. If being "properly concerned" involves acting the way you have over the last little while, I'll pass, thanks, and remain relatively unconcerned for the time being.
Robes? MuMus?
I liked the Mu sect associated with Scirocco in CoV. I wish they had done more with him, perhaps even redeemed him if possible. But the costume pieces for the Mu were very distinct and I wouldn't mind seeing some of them adapted for use here in CoT.
Yasssss.
I would have loved having the Mu costume pieces available. I mean, I understand why they weren't; Having their limbs bound would have invalidated almost ALL of the existing animations, but with how versatile CoT's customization is looking to be I would hope that something like that might be doable (can't use your arms to hurl that fire bolt? Just blast it from your third eye, or even ditch the idea of a projectile entirely and force your opponent to spontaneously combust, etc).
Also, I think that the Issue 23 Dark Astoria revamp storyline was taking the first steps towards a redemption arc for Scirocco. It certainly seemed to me that that was were they were headed, at least.

I liked the Circe outfit. I didn't think it was a belt, just a stylized pants seam.
Probably not today at any rate but back in the day it was "pretty racy" for TV. The following is a bit from a retrospective article talking about it:
Obviously I wouldn't mind getting the costume items to make a "genie" outfit like that in CoT at some point.

Daisy also had to wear nylons under her shorts, because the shorts were just to much. :p
That was true for Catherine back in 1979. By the time Jessica came around in 2005 she didn't. Progress! :)
P.S. I just spent a few weeks working over in Busan, South Korea and weirdly enough super-tight short-shorts seem to be the big fashion thing over there right now. Not quite Daisy Dukes - they were usually so tight they mostly looked like they were painted on. Let's just say very little was being left to the imagination. ;)

I mentioned before that I intend to produce a machinima series within this game when released.
So I really really really want clothes, costumes and animation aesthetics to work for that project. Specifically apparel and hair that would let me create avatars to represent ex-presidents from Washington to Nixon, with a sci-fi twist. As well as other influential figures from history like Ghandi, Mother Teresa, John Lennon, Jim Henson (with hand puppet), Thatcher and so on.
I also would love some patriotic animation aesthetics for powers. Maybe some spy gadget aesthetics as well.
It's probably not really viable to get everything I would love to get because it will have limited appeal to a larger fan base but I may as well ask now in the hopes I get some.
I really like the technomages, Cy. That hood is probably not armored but made of thick leather (more likely a PU synthetic) and rivets rather than cloth and stitching to get it to hold the shape. The costumes definitely fall into the technopunk category which is one of my favorites. I think a lot of the fine details that define those costumes would get lost outside the character creator.

I'd imagine the way to make a morphing gun arm would be with an arm cannon prop. Like drawing a gun, but instead it replaces the forearm with a cannon. Of course, the cannon itself could be a costume piece, too, for those who want to permanently show an arm cannon instead of a hand.
This is going to be a somewhat unusual "costume" request/suggestion, since it isn't something that any character could "wear" (per se) ...
Back in the mid-1980s, the Hawker design team at Kingston upon Thames, Surrey, England (that created the Harrier Jump Jet series of aircraft) was doing theoretical design work on a successor aircraft, and some of it was just ... out there. Things like the [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Aerospace_P.1216]P.1216[/url] were just really radical design departures from anything seen in the jet age.
[img]https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/5/51/BAe_P1214_and_P1216.png[/img]
In this case, for the purposes of City of Titans, I'm less interested in the delta winged P.1216 on the left and more interested in the P.1214 design as something that would be extraordinarily COOL to put into Titan City as a sort of Rapid Reaction Force used to protect the city from threats that can be fought by straight up military forces manned by "normals" who don't have superpowers. Here, have a look at some pictures for what a lot of people called a "real X-wing" design.
[img]http://www.harrier.org.uk/history/images/p1214.jpg[/img] [img]https://i.imgur.com/yJ5szVv.jpg[/img]
Just having a few of these parked on some tarmac somewhere in "standby mode" in case anything happens in the vicinity of Titan City that needs a fighter jet to do flybys/strafing runs/dropping bombs/firing rockets/launching missiles and all that "mud mover" styled Close Air Support jazz would be awesome. Do them up as essentially "static displays" first, and then later on (when there's development time and/or an event that can make use of them) work can be done on making flying versions that can do ground attack runs and/or aerial dogfighting. Paint them up in US military colors and enjoy the Player reactions.
In our (real) world, the P.1214 never got beyond the stage of making scale models for things like wind tunnel testing, meaning no full sized aircraft using the design were ever built. But Titan City isn't located in our "real" world ... it lies in an alternate timeline ... where things are ... different (and this could be one of those differences). Having V/STOL jump jets that were designed in the 1980s "on standby" for what amounts to Civil Defense of Titan City would just be something really really COOL, I'm thinking.

Obviously the real life gizmo didn't do too well because it could only fly for a few minutes but that wouldn't be a problem for a superhero game where tech like this can "magically" work as long as needed.

If it came down to that sort of "one man flyer" transport where you're not going with a "jetpack" sort of thing, I think that The Incredibles probably did the best job of making a(n almost) plausible [i]weaponized[/i] personal flying saucer.

I almost referenced those flyers as well. They are cool but sadly it might be relatively hard for CoT to cleanly "borrow" that idea without it looking like a completely blatant rip-off of the Incredibles movie. With the sequel movie coming out next year the whole concept might be "too fresh" in everyone's (read Disney's) mind, especially if the new movie brings back those exact same vehicles (or something like them) again.

The biggest kicker for most of these things is a power source. Saw a program on "real life batman" that said his grappling hook would need a fusion reactor :p

Stupid real world physics... always keeping us from having the coolest toys. ;)
For instance if it wasn't for a lack of a reasonably sized "power source" we probably already have the rest of the technology (right now) to build some kind of hand-held, military-grade laser rifle:

You could build the rifle, but you'd likely have to attach the "power cable" to something the size of a city bus (or larger) to get more than one or two effective shots from it.

Super-powered individuals and high-tech baddies.....power source realism need not even be a thing.
(insert pithy comment here)
Right... what's your point? We were already talking about how a "superhero game" setting could disregard the problems with real world physics.

Superhero game settings were essentially created to answer the question "What if we were not limited by X, Y or Z".
Despite that it's always useful to compare "real world" concepts to superhero analogs to have a better feel for how these things can be different in plausible ways. It's like how "Sci-Fi" might be "fictional" but it's still [b]science[/b] - just because it's fictional to us doesn't mean it shouldn't follow its own set of internally consistent scientific rules.

I would like a feathered cape that would change to wings when flight is activated.
The same would go for a leather cape that becomes bat-wings.
please make these look cool enough to sell in the game store. thank you...of course you could do that with any cape now that I think about it. the colors might need to stay the same, but I'll leave that up to you.

a different look at the technomage with a samurai influence
1) lots of glowy bits. that is always good.
2) a mix of helmet/hood. a little over done, I would prefer no horns at all, but it still looks good.
3) the gauntlets are wonderful! glowing red circuitry would look great male or female.
4) I like the I-pads on a belt
5) the shoulders are again overdone, but they still look good
6) the but cape/loincloth combo over a skirt works well,
7) Garter belts! Oh Noes!
Over all a good design. I would keep the glowies and simplify it, but even as it is, it would fit right into Titan city.

All I want is to be able to make my alien race in CoT even if It's not 100% just the ability to make them look most of the way would be amazing. https://imgur.com/a/qKtm9 An album with a bunch of art my friends and I got of the characters.

I'd like to request something similar to the Skirmisher's armor from XCOM 2; The faction classes in XCOM 2's expansion all look like they could be superheroes, but the Skirmisher really takes the cake.
[img]https://i.imgur.com/qenx4AO.png[/img]
Funny enough, the Skirmishers also have a pretty superhero origin story - they're genetically modified (read: vat grown) alien hybrids, who upon being grown have a mind control chip implanted in their heads. Upon the chip being removed they set about building a resistance versus the alien occupation. They even fight like superheroes - aside from using a gun, they've got a lot of movement they can do with a grappling hook (including pulling people to them, or pulling themselves to enemies), a claw gauntlet for melee combat, and a ton of abilities that give them more actions the more enemies are on the field, making them something of a difficult to pin down one-man army.
An infinite number of tries doesn't mean that any one of those tries will succeed. I could flip an infinite number of pennies an infinite number of times and, barring genuine randomness, they will never come up "Waffles".
You may well be in luck.
I remember COH had similar guns, and outfits like that at launch. I full face helmet is pretty much a given, and I think I saw medium style body armor in an old COT video (don't quote me on that) very similar to the skirmisher. The only thing I haven't seen is the back pack. But the scarf cape or something very similar ought to be available at launch.
I would say its a good bet you could get very close to what you want at launch...or before in beta.

That's awesome news! I'm already getting character ideas.

i wonder if there will be costume like with fur, leather and ropes ^^ something savage

More on the Power Effects side, perhaps but...
As much as possible, there should be a None option.
I recall in CoH there was certain power sets I never even tried because their fx were just so overwhelming of the costume. Now I can understand why FX may (MAY) be necessary in PvP so one can know what they are up against, there's no reason in regular play why (for example) my fire powers have to actually wrap me in flames. So yes, cool FX are awesome... But as much as possible they should be awesomely optional.

Not quite normal...
aesthetic decoupling. You can take a fire shield and choose the effects of invulnerability (i.e. none). Your enemies will still take the fire energy damage of close contact with you, but they will see nothing.

Why not simplify the color palette for costumes? All we need are purple and pink!

OK, I love this helmet. It allows for long flowing hair and it has wings.
COH never had helmets with hair like this. Please Devs lets make this happen
Note the ears and that the helmet allows for earrings as well.
all in all this is very good. and helmet wings are always a necessity,
[img]https://s15.postimg.cc/z9bk1znkb/Black_Falcon_Sig_in_Progess.jpg[/img]
but your human would be so limited. Besides you will need to color code the pocket that has kitty treats in it. Low light emergency survival situations are always a good time for a treat.

Why stop at just suggesting Darna's helmet? Might as well suggest the rest of the costume for CoT as well:

[url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darna]Darna[/url] is one of the Philippines most famous comic book characters, her concept dating back to the 1930s. She was actually designed to be a sort of "female Superman" for the Philippines and over the years they've done dozens of movies and TV shows with her.

The lion cloth looks more like a napkin stolen from a fancy restaurant.
the helmet is nice though.

Well all I can tell you is that outside of the US (and maybe Japan) Darna is probably one of the most famous comic book characters in the world. Like it or not her costume has been relatively unchanged for like 70 years now. Apparently -somebody- out there likes it. *shrugs*
How did you manage to suggest her helmet and not know the character? ;)
Like I said she's been in like 20 films and several long running TV shows so far.
