In before the items are costume-only or recolors of the angelic set, because there aren't enough of those.

GUYS
There are six variants of the kathat
There is also a mushroom cap
I know of many armors not in game yet
So its not a surprise to me that theres "new" items
Like the Shinging Ward
Megaladon's set
heck the original angelic set could possibly come back as a new armor

Haha, Winfinity... I wonder how many wins it takes to make a good weapon, if it took a million just to make that piece of garbage. I don't think even an infinite amount could save the Spur line, much less Troikas.

It's called Shatter.

And Mjolnir is, was, and damn well better always be a Hammer.

@Hazel: I don't think its ever been confirmed that is is called Shatter. In fact, I think Equinox said it was a no-no for us to be calling it that for sure, in another thread. :x

Still, would be a cool name. :P

Mjolnir hasn't always been

Mjolnir hasn't always been depicted as a hammer, its only in modern times that it's become synonymous with being a hammer with a short handle and oblong shaped head.

Plus the Troika is the closest weapon to it anyway.

I think you should double-check your information, or define "modern", because this could not possibly be more incorrect if modern means what modern actually means. 9th Century A.D. is nothing resembling modern, FYI.

A wishlist of my own, not

A wishlist of my own, not even one of which is actually likely:

- Craftable 'usables', in the style of the mist tank, that give you in-clockwork items. Click the poison tank to use it up and get 3 vials.

- Costumes!

- Magic spells. We have "spellcaster gear", let's get some whacky weapons-what-are-spells. Flamethrower effects in all types! "Bombs" that, instead of doing damage, give a temporary damage bonus to allies in the area!

- A cardboard box what I can hide in and run around, like Solid Snake.

...

You! In the back, snickering at my cardboard box plan! Hush, you!

Any hopes for new weapon types, like Rapiers, Lances, Shotguns, and more?

Off-topic, but I can think of

Off-topic, but I can think of at least one modern instance (20th century) where Mjolnir was a vending machine.

(Disclaimer: This is not Official Hyperion, this is someone who happens to share his brain being geeky and not at all implying any future hammer-vending-machines.)

On Paints/Colors/Etc

The ability to change the color you chose at the beginning would be nice. Even if it cost CR or CE to do it would be nice to be able to switch it up here and there.

I'm also super excited about new items!!!

@Paska, we'll know afterwards in the patch notes?

I highly doubt they'd make us do an easter egg hunt for the new things.

But, if they do, I'm resorting to my brick through a window solution.
