Can we have a no-cape option for high collars. So, we basically get a customizable high collar (basic/arcane/occult). That way, we can get really close to a Sherlock Holmes-style cape like this. Also, this. I think it isn't that hard to implement, right??

Also, while we're at it, can we have a Tweed pattern for high collar and capes, too?? kthnx

Hmmm, so many replies and no-one even bothered mentioning villains. I'm disappointed by you guys.
Ok, seriously, you might want to consider taking a look to villain ATs, too. Even, if you don't like playing as a villain, coming Going Rogue expansion, you'll be able to switch sides. So, some general information about ATs:

Hero ATs:
Blaster: Long range, high damage, low HP, low defenses/resistances (squishy)

Tanker: Melee-character, extremey high defences/resistances, good damage

Scrapper: Melee, high damage, high defences/resistances

Controller: Controls enemies, hindering their actions (immobilizes, holds, fear, confuse), also buffs/heals teammates and debuffs enemies. Most primary powerset choices get a pet, too

Defender: Buffs/Ranged attacks, low damage. Supports teammates, but can deal some damage of its own, too (athough nowhere near a blaster)

>Also, after reaching lv20, two new ATs are unlocked, called Epic Archetypes (not Epic in power, just tied to this games lore). These are Kheldians, part of an alien race. They're also the only AT with shapeshifting powers.

Villain ATs:
Brute: Melee character, high damage, high defences/resistances, builds up fury by taking and dishing out damage, thus increasing its damage potential overtime

Dominator: Controls enemies, and dishes out damage, too (both ranged and melee). Builds up domination to initiate a Jekyll-Hyde playstyle switch (damage increase, more powerful holds)

Corruptor: A nice alternative to blasters. It exchanges some damage potential for some damage mitigation.

Stalker: Melee character, high damage, low hp, good defences/resistances. The only AT with the build-in ability to hide, thus becoming invisible to enemies, delivering enormous amounts of damage while staying hidden.

Mastermind: The game's most original archetype. It can summon an army of pets to attack the enemies, while it stays behind buffing them along with his teammates. Highly survivable, as it can share incoming damage with its pets. Can tank efficienty, if built right, but has few defences/resistances of its own.

>Epic Archetypes: Again, when reaching lv20 with a villain you unlock two new ATs: Arachnos Soldiers. They're a bit complicated, so, if you're interested, visit the Archetypes & Powers column of this forum.

I participated in a Supernatural Zone event the other day and noticed the magical circles appearing around the banners. Well, between these and the animations used for demon summoning, I can really see some potential for a visually pleasant set.

Wait... isn't cottage rule already broken to tiny little pieces?? Energize anyone??

Edit: ...Unyielding (Stance), too...

What if this becomes part of character creation/customization? So, you choose one of the pre-selected special location and whenever in range you get your buff. So, let's say I roll a mutant with the ability to tap into other bodies, that used his ability to trap people and bring their bodies to Vazhilok. It's only natural to select sewers as a place of power. Now, for my natural ninja character I select warehouses(?), but for my Kheldian I go with Rikti zones. More choices are always good in my book.

Also, how about choosing enemy factions instead?? Like, my ninja, descendant of an ancient japanese ninja clan, bearing a grudge against tsoo for centuries, chooses Tsoo as his nemesis(?) group. So, basically every time I fight tsoo, I get higher SO drap rates or perhaps damage/resist/def buffs??

Well, it mostly an one-time thing. Fire it off and never worry about names again. Although if it requires a ridiculous amount of coding and.or resources, then it's not really worth it. I don't face a big problem finding names, although I would sell my voice to Wailers just to get my hands on "Black Rabbit" (I want to roll Alice's White Rabbit's evil version - I have a huge concept ready, too).

Am I the only one counting 7 pets??
Also, new hair. I love it (I think Kin Melee video showed us a new set of gloves/boots too)

Many players have been complaining about the lack of names in populated servers like Virtue and Freedom. So what about devs give us access to names possessed by accounts inactive for 3 or more years, names with no globals and those possessed by trial accounts inactive for 2 or more years?
There would be twist, however: If any of those accounts become reactivated again, the original owners gain possession of the name again and the newly rolled toon with the same name gets a free respec.

Given that GR is introducing a new name system(name can used more than once by the same account), maybe this is the best time to implement a solution for this problem, too.

What's your feedback on this?

Edit: Please don't go all DOOOM! on this. This is more of a subject for chit-chat that a demand.

Great idea!

The only think I really DON'T want to see Short Circuit. This set already recycles too many powers already in-game, it deserved at least one unique power (Even its pets are recycled Cap Au Diable demons)

I consider end drain to be soft control like knockdown. Also, I agree with DrMike on this: End drain has potential paired with -rech and can be a decent form of soft control. Just because its underperforming as a blas secondary doesn't mean it's not worth it. It's like saying knockdown is underperforming because you just rolled a Battle Axe tanker. Have you tried (Ice Control/)Ice Patch?
