I would like Manufactory story modes. I think those are the largest missing chunk of lore from SWL and necessary to complete Kaidan.

My big number one thing! It was said before and Iāll say it again! Player housing!!
Although the museum was supposed to scratch that itch, it really isnāt the same! Player housing is a huge opportunity for enriching the characterization of your toons, especially for creating hosting spots for RP and just helping the RP community in general. You can recycle a lot of existing assets into something that could tempt players to spend cash to decorate their pads.
ā
Aside from that, the biggest complaint my cabal has is that there isnāt enough modern fashion in SWL-- a lot of the clothing feels outdated and the options for wearable fashion is slim. Relevanciesā post sums it up pretty much to a T!
The thing I miss the most from TSW is the missions that you used to get inbetween faction ranks (the parking garage, for example). Some more meaning to āfaction rankingā up would be nice.
This would be a huge wishlist thing, but I would adore it if there was story opportunity to defect from one faction to another. When you get to Tokyo, your āsecondary handlersā (so to speak) NPCās play a big role in making you feel attached to your faction, even more so than previous interactions. (Also, seeing more of the Swarm would be super cool).
Lastly important to mention-- customization of allowing your character to be more or less muscled, bigger or smaller breasts, more or less fat, etc? I have a lot of friends who were turned off from TSW/SWL because they couldnāt make the avatars look closer to what they imagined their toons/characters were supposed to look like. At the very least, muscle definition could be changed without having to recreate/edit all of the clothing and clothing system.

Novel PvP Mode: Snowracing!
An extrapolation of the already implemented snowmobile mission; take 10 players, various courses created using Carpathian Fangs assets and combine to create deadly snowmobile racing.
Players attempt to use speed boosts, machine guns, rockets and bombs to win. Avoid Filth patches or they will slow you down and sap your health. Run through crystallised anima formations to gain a temperory boost in speed, limited time invincibility or a 50% damage boost.
Rewards include 2000 xp distilate for the winner, 1500 xp distilate for the 2nd place and 1000xp for third. Other prizes can include tokens to buy upgrades or new snowmobiles.
Other variations could be Tokyo Motorbike races.

Thatās easy: An assurance that we wonāt lose Scriv as a writer because I donāt trust the lore with almost anyone else. ;.; But I suppose thatās not technically -new-.
Alt-friendliness has already been mentioned - I donāt even want to consider how much cosmetic stuff I have on my one character right now because I can no longer mail things to others and I havenāt found someone to be a temporary pack mule for meā¦ Also, Iād love more account unlocks again and the ability to give people bought stuff again. But those are remnants from TSW and still not new.
Before, I would have whimpered and clawed at the door for reputation system, but we sorta are seeing that with the Dawnās Favor and itās fun, so I hope that continues because I love itā¦ so thatās not a new thing either.
So, for my one new thing:
Scenario options. You really nailed it on condensing it and making them quite tolerable to sit and doā¦ I donāt even have a preference on what SORT of scenario options, I just would like more than Seek and Preserve. Maybe have the option to a randomized sabotage type scenario? Iām not sure Iād ever really want to do that but some people are way more nimble than I am! Maybe more achievements for scenarios? I definitely donāt want to return to the āOops, one survivor died because everything went to hell in a handbasket for a second, you lose platinum!ā system, but more things to -do- during them (particularly in mid Elites where the only achievements are for just doing a certain number of them) would be fun. Maybe a silly achievement for dying a ton but still somehow winning the scenario, only managing to barely win the scenario by keeping the bare minimum alive, having a moment in the scenario where you lose a bunch of survivors at onceā¦not all of them have to be āIām proud of this achievementā. Some of them can literally āBy the skin of your teethā or āAre we grading on a curve?ā Or cosmetics for managing to run into all the bosses/mobs/dangers. I kinda thought the Tokyo achievement for eventually getting all the mobs from the crates were fun, and I could see scenarios having more of those. I think some people are still Scenarioād out from TSWā¦ but some additional modesā¦maybe a South African and a Tokyo scenario now too would be awesome as well. Defending the Bathhouse in Scenario mode, for example.
(SEE? I can suggest things that arenāt about lore and arenāt about RP and Radio stations! THIS IS PROOF. But uh, no, that bit about making sure Scriv stays, thatās important. Chain him to a chair if you have to, if he manages to get away again Iād be terrified about the future of the game.)

I would like to see new seasonal events. Bringing back the old ones would be fine with the exception of the simple encounters like golems/vestiges/horsemen (imo they lose too much when taken out of their setting and onto an agartha platform).
The suggestion about more snowmobiles is also great (but not in SA).
Maybe we can mount an assault on New Carthage using JetSkiās? In which case we also need a shark agent with a laser on his forehead.
MORE Purple colored clothing! I may be biased given that my character (PixieBomb) has inherited my love of all things purple. lol

Please bring back PvP.
PvP was a blast in TSW, it kept me logging in long after I maxed out my gear (and stopped caring about augments). Dungeons were the same old thing time after time, after you max out your gear you get desperate and start doing silly self-imposed challenges until you just cant stand doing them anymore. PvP was always exciting cause of the human element. Right now I dont have much reason to log in every day, PvP would go a long way towards that and making me stick around long term.

Hello, first of all english isnāt my native language, iāll do my best
Things to add :
- Gatekeeper ( Make him usefull like in TSW )
- Hell Fallen
- The Facility
- The Slaughterhouse
- The Manufactory
- Manufactory Breached
- Eidolon raid
- Flappy raid
- Auxillary weapons
- More abilities ( At least 8 abilities per weapons )
- 64 Bits client ??
- Fusang / El Dorado / Stonehenge ( At least 1 of them )
- Make Agartha more animated, i would love to see Faction member walking into Agartha, travel through differents portal
Things to fix :
- Make faction more usefull, i feel like whatever the faction i choose it would be the same
- Balance abilities, tanks are too powerfull it makes healer useless most of the time
- Game stability, there is too many ārandomā crash
- Bank
- Scenarios, more maps ? 5 players ?
- Museum, we cant complere the whole museum because we canāt get legends from TSW which are needed for some wings
- Wings, like in TSW
Things to delete :
- Agartha vendors, move them into New York / London / Seoul, those 3 cities are unused
- Shambala, come on, this is so bad
All of these are just my opinion

Iād like to see a return for aegis solely for the two missing dungeons. Issue 12.
Iād love to fight monsters on the moon somedayā¦ the Congo works tooā¦
Fighting pets/agents. Iād love more non-human agents. Why canāt we have a unicorn headed agent? A unicorn fighting pet, please.
Can we add the whole cast of Red Dwarf to SWL?
In general, grovelingā¦ more groveling, for the sake of groveling. Just always be Unnecessarily apologetic for no reason.
Can we get a Tilty agent or pet? Can we fight with him? Replace one of the gatekeepers with a fighting Tilty?

I would like to see the elite versions of currently story-mode only dungeons introduced into the game. Bring back the Flappy and Eidolon raids. More and varied āend gameā content is needed to keep players in the game. I love the story, but dear god, I am so very sick of the same 5 dungeons every day.
Also, I am a firm supporter of Caerfinonās Pet-enabled Side Car Initiative.

Given that a lot of the things being asked for are the same things we were told werenāt priorities or required too many resourcesā¦I will also support this side car initiative thing.
Might as well!
please no emojis in chat, wouldnt mind a emoji in emails though 
Also, the next weapon should be bagpipes. Dubstep bagpipes.
More legends and quests inspired by musical history.

Only if I can be six inches high and blue!
āAmong the warriors of each clan is a gonnagle, or war-poet, whose job is to create terrible poetry that is recited during battles to demoralise the enemy (see William McGonagall). A well-trained gonnagle can even make the enemyās ears explode and is equipped with āmousepipesā (bagpipes made from mouseskin, often with the ears still attached). In āA Hat Full of Skyā the gonnagle Awfālly Wee Billy Bigchin can play the mousepipes so sadly that it will start to rain outside. A gonnagle tends to be somewhat more intelligent and level-headed than most Feegles, and often acts as advisor to the Big Man. Some of them travel from clan to clan, making sure the old songs and stories are still remembered and sharing the new ones.ā
Quoted from:
If you add new content, people will complain you forgot about old content. If you add old, they will complain about lacking new content. If you add PvE, PvP folks will complain etc.
You canāt win here, really.

Among the top of my favorite experiences from TSW was running around zones hunting for giant beasties during events and an army of bees meeting up when one was found. Maybe we could have that again. Instead of requiring forty bees, make the fights doable by ten so the zone cap isnāt exceeded. We could still have the Agartha event megabosses popping every hour, but in my opinion those alone are no substitute.

So many good things in this thread! Itās not exactly 100% ānew,ā per se, but to add something Iāll never not have interest in seeingā¦gender neutral/blurring clothing. Excited flailing as I started this post before reading the thread and later found I am not the only one to request it!
I know thereās a split between who likes what, so I donāt want everything going forward to be neutral. Femme stuff for ladies, masculine stuff for guys, for sure, keep at it! But Iād like to see the reverse once in a while, and/or things that are identical for both. (Thereās many a thing I pine over with a given characterās apparent gender, but that are restricted to the other.) I have made due with things like the clever sporran-less kilt, hakama, and black toga bottom, and some lady pants have slimmer hips. But more options is always shiny. 
To narrow it down to a singular thing, with regard toā¦heck, most of my male-coded characters:
(Ah, to have that jersey dress 
)
I know it can be intimidating, with the potential backlash from either side of the equation (irritation at the mere existence from one side, and frustration if it seems distasteful from the other). And the concern of cost vs. profit (I cannot say how many others will buy such things). But you do have at least a noticeable number of LGBTQ+ playersāas well as cisstraight ones who have expressed interestāwho may have references to offer for inspiration, if youāre so inclined to toss out a request for such. (Or elsewise offer feedback during creationā¦also available from the oodles of not-players, if insider info is too fiddly to offer to people so directly involved.) Also quietly slides Queen Bee in again, itās yours as much or little as you want, yāall set it up legally with that contest, I tried to be mindful of the item layering.
Also the shovel (and broom) hammer skin. :3
Oh! An actually new thing: a music-based weapon! Bard character is go.

Iād like repeatable missions that scale difficulty based on the number of players on your team and have randomized objectives and locations.
Basically, I just want to group up with a friend or three and do some missions we havenāt done a dozen times already and fight monsters that donāt fall over instantly because itās meant for one person. Doesnāt need to be very challenging and doesnāt need to be very deep. Iāll happily grind simple, random missions for years.
TLDR: I want newspaper missions from city of heroes.
