How about making COH costume packs?

supersharks · September 2012

If we're going to be getting a lot of disheartened CoH players in 3 months, how about doing your best to welcome them with city of heroes costume pieces?

They have a lot of very good sets, once they come here it would be really nice for them to be able to make their CoH characters here.

y'know what?That is actually a very thoughtful and quite fitting suggestion. Not to mention it did originally start out as Cryptic's baby. I'm in totally agreement here

I wouldn't mind this. Or at least pieces that resemble CoH stuff. There are a LOT of costume pieces from there that would absolutely look fantastic on CO.

gerberatetra · September 2012

There's a ton of stuff I'd like CO to poach from CoX.

Emotes for one...

Costumes, maybe?

I don't know, Im not as familiar with the costume bits

I don't think Cryptic could adaptate costume pieces specific to something from the CoX lore, but there are plenty of rather generic pieces.

Also, I'd love to see adaptations or at least equivalents of CoX's power sets. Spines, Plants, Water, Time and the like. But that would be a long time project, of course.

I'd really like to see this too,
perhaps Champions Online could try to merge in powers and maybe quest lines into the game here?
I think it would be great!

MORE TIGHTS!!!

CO's tights suck compared to CoH ones. And i mean the quantity and ableing to mix the patterns together.

tharkan · September 2012

Yes. Just, yes. I can only think of the possibilities of what can happen now that CoH is (regrettably) closing.

Definitely,CoH had some awesome costume pieces,especially tights and armor,we need more tights and armor pieces

/signed,one million times if necessary,we NEED CoH parts

This is a great idea, but one major issue here: trademarks & copyrights NCSoft might have on the intellectual property.

I would not expect NCSoft to be reasonable on this. If you want intellectual property they own, I'm pretty sure they're going to charge outrageously high fees for it.

Since COH is going to the eternal sleep. Once it is killed, would they not be giving up their rights to said property?

In acctuality I feel since we need new zones and content, really why not just utilize all the time and resources Cryptic put into COX and blend it in to CO. Make Paragon city and the likes, bring in Statesman and stuff, give everyone a lvl 5o cap. its like Champions would be re absorbing all the people from the COX universe via a dimensional shift.

And hell the extra staff couldnt hurt either, in COX when you sent a petition you had a response in 30mins and a GM would guide you consult with you ar fix you immediately. I have sent several petitions in this game and not ever once did i receive a response, a repair or even a "were working on it".

And lets face it, it would be kinda slick to see Statesmans crew work along/against Defenders and Lord Recluse versus Destroyer. EPIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dont we already have the bulk of COX powers and costumes only slightly better animated and gameplay. We can always usse the extra content, new to Champions players but nice to see the new spins for COX players. And who knows COX players may be all over the new coolness here.:biggrin:

Agreed. Champions Online and City of Heroes merging together would allow for so much awesomeness. New zones? Check. Eochai and Jack in Irons during a Halloween event? Check. Lusca in the Vibora bay docks? Check. Jurassik and Hamidon in Monster Island? Check. Qularr vs Rikti vs Gadroon? Check. Pocket D as a social zone? Check.

So much awesome potential. /Signed

And one thing COX never did with their signatures characters, you never got to fight alongside them. Which is one thing Champs does well, as well as DC. You could have a adventure pack where you would help the various signature characters in their respective zones with their respective Nems and mobs. Help states fight off his preatorian version and end with a battle with recluse, perks galore could be added.

And hell SG bases would be kewl too. Just dont archetect things like they did, seems to have started spelling the beginning of the end for them.

It would be nice. Hopefully with the influx of new players comes new funds and we can see a step up in development resources being devoted to Champions.

Minotaur heads!!

That would be so awesome! It's going to make me drool all over it.

Then again, copyrights, Ips and all that jazz that NCsoft has ownership of.

Boo.

No one owns a copyright on minotaurs. That's what I meant with "generic" elements that should be no problem to adaptate.

However, as CO runs on a different engine than CoX, just copying these elements wouldn't work anyway. They would have to be recreated, which would take as long as Cryptic's devs creating whole new content.

I dunno about a completely different engine. I think both were created using similar if not the same tools and thus importing would be possible. The problem there is that CoH they have a much lower poly count and of course are pure mannequins. So some touch up work and such would be required.

How about making COH costume packs?
