Massively webcomic: Grinders - Gender Equality

City of Heroes continues to fulfill items on the long list of player requests, next up being the option to change your height and gender, the only to pieces to the costume editor left static. While I think it's neat you'll finally be able to make that Mr. Hyde knockoff you've been waiting to build, Grinders today reflects other possible gameplay options.

On a side note, I wonder what this'll do to the character gender debate. Now in CoH, your character doesn't need to have a gender, just a costume slot does. You could make a character that is in fact five distinct characters. Food for thought.

Have a funny story of your own? Submit your tale complete with a screenshot to lemuel@massively.com. The best will also probably involve boobies in some form or another. Or just put in the comic.

I'm glad they finally added this feature in, it's been a long time coming. Now you can create a "shape shifting" character like a Mystique. I've wanted this feature for a while because I have a character who is a female Werewolf character and I've always hated the female options for the werewolf costume parts. With this feature I can now have her change into werewolf using the "Huge Male" body options to make her truly monstrous.

Plus finally allowing us to change height is a huge plus as well. Often times in character creation you think you are creating a character that is close to 5'5", but then get in game only to find you're character is smaller then a waist height table or chair.

I'm not an active subscriber, but if I ever go back this certainly sounds like a feature-combo I'd make use of - werebeasts, Guyvers, half-angels/demons...

A whole repertoire of crazy beast-themed forms would probably be coolest of all.
