Iconic Kryptonian Heat vision Power With Updated Kryptonian Animation

[Superboys]

I just wanted to take this time to thank the Modern development team working on current DCUO content for all the hard work you guys put into the game, I never thought I’d see the game become what it is now. Adding iconic powers directly from characters in game was one of the best decisions ever made. With that being said it would be great to get an Kryptonian Heat Vision Iconic Power. With this we would be able to use heat vision while doing the same animations that all the Kryptonians in game do. Our current heat vision does an animation reminiscent of Cyclops from X-Men which doesn’t really fit the majority of heat vision users within the DC continuity. I hope the development team sees this and considers adding this or reworking the current animation for heat vision.

I think they should just rework the animation

OH, and make it where we can move while channeling it

For my part, I would like to see an artifact that allows "to customize the current thermal vision according to our power and with the effects associated with it, to stun, polarize, etc., etc., etc.

I don’t know if an artifact could go that way, but I would like it.

Would love to see a rework of the regular heat vision but if not I’d be glad with then adding an iconic power like they’ve been doing

I mean they got artifacts like Omega and Solar amp that heat vision based with different colors and beam animations. I think they could make the animation while doing it just like the kryptonians in game, really tired of the animation for heat vision making us look like Cyclops

That's because within the DC continuity, every player is a weak, normal human with exobytes in their bloodstream granting them weaker versions of real hero powers. All the characters youre comparing to are actual heroes/villains with real powers.

“Well Actually” That has nothing to do with the way the heat vision animation is. The first model for Superman in pvp literally does heat vision the same way we doit. They fixed it for him in missions later on so what you’re saying right now is obsolete and irrelevant. We need either a new iconic kryptonian heat vision or an animation rework for the current one.

And have it be pretty OP and/or locked behind a limited time event or just as bad a F ing Time Capsule? NOPE Pass. I'd rather them just rework the existing animation and make same animation work with solar amp. And if they won't rework the existing animation, I'd rather just keep what we have now. I'm sick and tired of these iconics being locked behind FOMO events and F ing Time Capsules.

The irony to this is that these actual heroes when they're fighting alongside us have nonexistent defense values that I can observe, high health pools and die because they stand in crap. I've seen dead weight DPS who're more useful even though some of those schmucks stand in crap all the time, the only difference is the NPC isn't banging on about how I'm not healing him or standing so close to the boss that he can count polyps in their colon and dies to a AoE atk.

But I digress.
Yes, I understand the DCUO continuity and how we're exobyte powered, but still. The animation is a bit old. I mean hell they could rework the animation if you have solar amp equipped (although technically that would involve creating a new power like the art enhanced blue HV vs the vanilla one)

Thank you so much for this response. Atleast you get it

I agree. I made a thread about this exact subject at the beginning of the year. The animation could be the exact same thing as Frost Breath and I'd be happy with it. At least then, it gets our hands out of our characters faces while we're using heat vision. I've always hated that stance. Moving while using it would also help.

And as far as a new iconic, I would want it to be different if they did add something. Maybe a heat vision burst or something like Superboy's signature move?

I definitely agree, having the frost breath animation as the rework for the Heat Vision animation would literally be perfect.

A lot of Animatons could use some love. I'd even think it be cool to add some recoiling wind effects to add some Oomf.

There are so many preexisting animations in game that they can swap to abilities that would make more sense. My obvious ask is for the Heat Vision Animation Superman does to be added in replacement of the animation we currently have for our Heat Vision ability. If that was too tough of a task (which I don’t think it would be) like someone suggested above the ice breath animation would suffice.
