I would love for the ability to have multiple limbs in the game.
Not just extra arms or legs, but lower body replacements such as horse or lion thus creating Centaurs and the such.
Or even spider body. And the easiest of them would of course be having four arms which exists in the game already, but not for players.
What do you guys think?

It's been discussed multiple times before. No, it's not easy to make your character 4 armed even if it's in game.
It could happen with a Become device, but you would look like a grondling with grondling powers.

It is just mind boggling stupid to have to create entirely new rigs for characters, and create new animations for every single power in the game, along with every type of movement you can do in this game. All for the sake of a couple of costume pieces. It's just not a reasonable task.
The likelihood of this happening anytime soon, let alone even as a far future item, are remote at this time.

Cryptic generally has a rule that unless it looks good, they would try it, and in this case I would agree. If the arms did nothing barely even animated and such, it would look really tacky in these cases. On a level that would just defy all logic basically. And even with people saying they want them right now, you know that quite a few of these people would be upset if they barely did animate.

Plus, there are uh, certain types of people who would liberally do some gross things with this.
If the developers are going to work with skeletons and character animations and frames, it's a HUGE endeavor- one that would not be justified with something that only a few people would be interested in.
Now, I wouldn't mind seeing some kind of power where extra limbs popped out of your shoulder or side and did something cool, like skewer someone with a spike/blade or blast them with some sort of poison or energy blast.
Not to mention that said extra limbs will probably be excluded from the costume editor as well.
the sheer thought of having to edit all the jackets, tights, and chest wear to work with extra limbs is fairly frightening. But to then think about how gloves, bracers, arm accessories and the like would behave? Yikes.
It just seems a ton of work, and that is just to make it halfway with gimpy decorative arms.
Another prime example was the hideouts. People claimed they wouldn't care if it had limited customization and no practical use. They were created and people damned the devs for the fact the hideouts offered no major customization and had very limited utility outside of being a social spot, what the players asked for.
In short, call me skeptical that the people saying just put them in and that will be fine will actually stay that way if/when it happens.

1- The vehicles weren't really what a lot of people expected. Most of us knew they wouldn't be vastly customizable, but we never expected them to be completely non-customizable. BUT, on the flipside, a lot of people missed it when Cryptic said 'these are not the final version of what vehicles will be'. However, that again begs the question: Then why bother releasing them at all? Hopefully, Cryptic makes good on their promise to 'not forget the people who have the current become devices'.
2- I wasn't around for the first hideouts. I just remember when the penthouses came out with a chorus of 'giggity'. More people are concerned, it seems, about the 'blocked' areas of specific hideouts.
Overall, this is how I see most of the hand-biting-
Players A, B, C, D, and E would like to see a villain faction introduced into the game, with PvP by flagging only and the missions 'flipped' to take place in Multifarian versions of the zones, with a few exceptions bringing them into the normal reality. Player F says this is not a good idea because CO is about heroes, Player G says more time should be made creating a new zone and raising the level cap for existing characters, and Player H is a troll who claims he quit playing the game in 2009 because it sucks. When the villain content is created, there are, expectedly, a number of problems with the system from the jump, not to mention that it falls quite short of expectations. Players A, B, C, D, and E voice legitimate concerns about the problems but are standing by the project to see it through. Players F, G, and H come out like confirmed Doomprophets and do butt-naked 'told-you-so' dances all over the forums.
