I really, really feel like I said something like this before lol, or maybe I did not. There were a few old threads about transformations, and a recent topic which lead to a discussion of a jack of all trades CoH archetype (I think). I also remember hearing the centaur joke years ago in the "Run. Jump. Fly. Cling" thread when I asked about quadrupedal heroes.
My question is about the ability to transform into something else and it not only changes your appearance, but powers and travel powers. I was thinking of something like this:
A Vehicle Emote Costume Change: Costume emotes that changes the player into a tank, aircraft, etc, which have munition abilities, but the animations are specific for the tank or aircraft.
Beastly Emote Costume Change: Like a bear or lion whom use their paws to slash.
Elements Costume Change: Change into a Rock, Lava, Ice, Water, or Thunder being.
Mechanical Costume Emote: Change into a mech, robot, etc.
The animations to change could be a simple puff of smoke or electricity. Instead of Optimus prime transitioning into a truck, where every limb retracts and all that crazy stuff transformers do.
You can tweak the appearance of these too, not saying it has to be vast creation options either. I know this seems eerily simliar to a simple costume change emote, but costume changes does not affect powers or allow true full on creatures on all fours.
As a child, I thought my name was handsome, cause that is what everyone called me.
(Pssst. This is the developer communique subforum. It should be in the Suggestions subforum.)
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".
