With the grand opening of the MWM Instagram account, I think it would beneficial for so many of us that want to SEE more of CoT to create a list for MWM of what we want to see. Since this is Instagram, we are limited to screenshots and short clips.
I will update the list below as suggestions come in.
The list as of posting is of my suggestions:
- Screenshots of CoT proper from different vantage points
- Bad guys for level 1-10...the ones we are most likely going to be facing during initial gameplay
- short clips of the bank heist intro mission
- Unique CoT locations (an example would be the prison island already shared on MWM Instagram, but more once more is completed)
- Big NPC CoT characters in the chargen, if possible
- Short clips of some cool fx
- Short clips of some dev beta testing in teams
- In-game character selfies!
UPDATE
- hot dog vendor in the city park - emote for eating a hot dog!
- COT iconic characters like Anthem in their locations...Just don't tell us where they are.
- The Orbit room! the Pizza place with an alpha tester eating pizza.
- super hero and AI super villain combat!
- The Amerikatt alleyway
- The Headless Horseman!
- a fast food franchise we can find all over the city.
- a fishman roaming the beach.
- first thing we'll see when we login
- screen shots of Devs playing in Alpha using various props like spears, hammers, whips, ect.
- various energy attacks
- Some kind of robe
- Bathrobes
Compulsively clicking the refresh button until the next update.
1) I want to see a shot of the hot dog vendor in the city park.
I always thought he would make a great contact. and I want a localized emote for eating a hot dog!
2) Game shots of the COT iconic characters like Anthem in their locations...Just don't tell us where they are.
3) The Orbit room! the Pizza place with an alpha tester eating pizza.
4) super hero and AI super villain combat!
5) The Amerikatt alleyway. We may not see kitties there just yet, but the sound effects team can put a bunch of meows there.
--seriously I vote for a plaque to honor Amerikatt by name. Alley Cat Alley.
6) The Headless Horseman!
7) a fast food franchise we can find all over the city.
8) a fishman roaming the beach.

I want a screenshot of the first thing we will see once we enter the world!
[hr]I like to take your ideas and supersize them. This isn't criticism, it is flattery. I come with nothing but good will and a spirit of team-building. If you take what I write any other way, that is probably just because I wasn't very clear.

It'll also say at the bottom (like in 2 pt font size) "You've been waiting for 6+ years... what's a few seconds more?" ;)

It is only when we stand up, with all our failings and sufferings, and try to support others rather than withdraw into ourselves, that we can fully live the life of community.

Also various energy attacks

I'd really like to see something for the mages among us. Some kind of robe!
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".
Bathrobes would be great for that "Do I seriously have to save the city I just got out of bed" look.
That’s Decaf-Man’s outfit.
If we get the bathrobe, gotta have a towel to go with.
Universal hitch hiking needs.
Or for the retro-future look when going to the Orbit Room.
Didn't all the 1950's era sci-fi predict we'd be wearing nothing but silver bathrobes by the 21st century?
"I don't think you understand the gravity of your situation."
One of the better examples of "bathrobes of the future" was from the classic 1936 movie version of H.G.Wells' [i]Things to Come[/i]. The following is a pic of the film's version of what 2036 would look like:

If you haven't seen this film you're missing out. It was an interesting "alternate history" of the world that actually predicted (just a few months off) the outbreak of WWII years prior to the fact.

There are No Pants in the future, I see.
Be Well!

That’s convenient...ish...
"A sad spectacle. If they be inhabited, what a scope for misery and folly. If they be not inhabited, what a waste of space." ~ Thomas Carlyle
Thanks for the info. I'll definitely look for it.
Just from that one still I can see how it (maybe) influenced multiple later films/franchises.
"I don't think you understand the gravity of your situation."
Doesn't have to be any pants in the present either.
"Let the past die. Kill it if you have to."
Let's not forget sci-fi has been trying to get people to wear so-called short-skirted "unisex" clothing for a long time. Who could forget the first few episodes of Star Trek TNG with its examples of the "skant" uniforms:

At least the outfits the guys wore in the 2036 part of [i]Things to Come[/i] were actually sort of short pants. Here's another pic that show's that point a bit better than the first one I posted:

They managed some pretty amazing visuals considering this movie was made over 80 years ago:

They even semi-predicted what futuristic bombers might look like:

Is this a feature request thread disguised as a screenshot request thread? :P

It's always interesting how these threads tend to meander around isn't it. ;)

How about a calendar for 2019, "The NPC babes of Titan city?"
[img]https://s15.postimg.cc/z9bk1znkb/Black_Falcon_Sig_in_Progess.jpg[/img]
Don't forget to do a hunks one for those inclined.
"Let the past die. Kill it if you have to."
Agree, and even perhaps a mixed one.
[I]Babes, Hunks, and Punks of Titan City 2019[/I]
The witcher pinup calendar with unicorn yen and bathtub geralt was a pretty big hit.
Heh. The TNG "Skant" was the first thing I thought of when I saw it with some Romulan overtones and maybe a Jedi robe thing.
"I don't think you understand the gravity of your situation."

Great idea for the Merchandise Store!
I'd buy that!
They made [I]very[/I] good use of forced perspective, matting and miniatures. A lot of the models had a very believable functional quality that reminded me of Space: 1999.
As well as a fairly believable design for a 21st century helicopter and flat-panel monitors.
They missed the mark a bit on the first moonshot but, even though Robert Goddard had been experimenting with rocketry for a while by then, the first really useful rockets were still more than a decade away.
They also predicted The Walking Dead with the Wanderers! ROFL
