My idea for additional End Game Content

rtma

(Have to Copy and Paste since the forums won't except the goddamn link a text document) I'd like to suggest the following, a (Epic) Rampage variation if a revamp is to take place I'd like to make my suggestion for one of them, as the name suggests this would be a end game Rampage variant that can be played upto 10 people, This would involve varies avatars represented by my Dragon family as a friendly test, a gauntlet if you would, to see determination of the heroes of earth about facing any sort of planetary threat or above, a friendly invitation to those that which to be challenged, I'll break in down into the following -
All opponents are level 45, Arena's take place in various locations depending on the Tier you're versing, the rounds won't have timers but you can be locked out by recovering being defeated, but it works like Fire and ice, you can retry the rounds for as many times you're willing to, as the name suggests it's not going to be easy, it's going to be progressively difficult as you progress through the tiers to the final encounter, rewards are offered once you've completed each tier prerequisite, all bosses have passives and increase base damage similar to how Gravitar works now when their HP Drops below 66/33% Remaining ~double damage from when they start out, unless stated otherwise, all their powers work like players with the debuffs that can be applied but relatively more powerful,

Damages can range between Low to Extreme, I'll tag powers accordingly to relative damage,
Low - Hundreds
Moderate - Thousands
High - 10 - 20k
Huge - 20 - 50K
Massive - 50 - 100K
Enormous - 100 - 200K
Extreme - 200K+

Now, to start out Hero's would to transported to a ancient arena that would be scoured by certain faction teams, could be lemurian, VIPER, or even Eldar Worms, that the players would have to clear out before a deep draconic disembodied voice is heard welcoming them, instructing to step onto the platform to begin the challenge, sending them to their first site, Tier 1 (Cavern) I was thinking using one of the underground caverns from Unity Missions, would work, block off the tunnels to players so the main chamber would be focused on, the tunnels would be used to spawn the Bosses Minions to enter then arena and support the Boss as the hero's engage, now their are 3 Variations of encounters that one will be picked to engage with their different Minions and Boss to encounter, Health Points of the Boss could be ~1.2Mil (Speculation/Adjustable) and Ranked as Super Villain, uses powers like Nemesis encounter, all melee bosses have the ability to apply NTTG with a Lunge or Yank attack (Iron Lariat)

In Tier 1 in order to pass you must defeat the Boss and minions to receive reward and unlocks next tier, First up would be a Water Dragon named Crusher, using an array water powers that would be reskinned Force, a few wind and a TK power, replace the effects both sound and visual to reflect this, water powers would use powerful repel's and knock down as their primary mechanics, his minions would be groups of 3x 5 Tough variants, they would be Karkadons (Mix between Henchmen - Master Villain), reskinned if needed, they will respawn to reinforce their numbers as long as the Boss is standing, the bosses passive is called Water Manipulation, which is a relatively similar carbon copy of Kinetic Manipulation, giving Physical Damage resist to ranged and lesser to Melee, water powers also apply it's own debuff called Wet/Soaked, slowing you down slightly and increases damage done by Electric/Cold damage, Listing his powers which he would Cycle -

Water Bolt (Low) (Force Bolt Reskin)
Water Blast (Moderate, repels/knock down primary target) (Force Blast Reskin)
Water Burst (Moderate, Repels/Knock down 360 PBAoE, 10ft) (Force Eruption Reskin)
Whirlpool (Moderate, repels to primary target within 25ft, snares) (Whirlwind reskin with repel to primary target adv)
Water Spout (Low, CC Paralyse, Single target) (Twister reskin)

Powers Unlock at 66% -
Water Bomb (High, repels/knock down, 25ft) (Force Detonation reskin)
Tidal Surge (High, repels/knock down, 50ft burst AoE 90degrees) (TK Wave reskin)

Powers Unlock at 33% -
Water Cannon (Huge, repels/knock down, 120ft x 2ft cylinder) (Force Cascade reskin)

The 2nd possible variation you can encounter is Ex Viper General Supreme Dragon, gone Freedom fighter commander, he's a form of Daikaiju Dragon and his Resistance fighter allies, basically reskinned UNTIL soldiers in black outfits, they will support Supreme Dragon in packs of 6, 5 henchmen Soldiers and 1 Villain ranked team leader per group and they come in 4 groups to harass the players, Supreme Dragon's passive is Invulnerability and his powers go as follows -

Wrist Bolter (Low)
Dual Missile Barrage (Moderate ST Maintain)
Micro Munitions (Moderate, AoE Maintain)
Tail Whip (Moderate, 120 degrees reverse AoE, knocks)

@ 66%
Shoulder Launcher (High AoE Burst)
Minigun (Moderate, Cylinder Maintain, debuff)
Plasma Breath (Huge, AoE Maintain, Plasma Beam from his mouth, 50ft x 2ft cylinder causes Plasma Burn and Disintegrate)

@ 33%
Phalanx Restoration (HoT, Blocks with Energy Shield, requires enough damage to break block to interrupt heals, attempts periodically)

Last variation is a BattleMage called Drake, this particular Dragon comes equipped with a Aura of Radiant Protection and has 4 Super Villain (Tough) Alien Gladiators supporting him, these minions use generic Might powers and Defiant passive and have only about 100K HP each, Drake on the other hand uses both Heavy Weapons and Sorcery while versing the players and switch according to combat situation -

Melee -
Bludgeon (Low)
Cleave (Moderate, Combo, AoE)
Decimate (Low, Lunge NTTG)
Ranged -
Magic Blast (Moderate, ST Knocks)
Binding of Aratron (Low, ST CC Incapacitate, NTTG)

@ 66%
SkullCrusher (High, AoE Charge, Knock down)
Arc of Ruin (Moderate, Debuff, Disorient, AoE)
Skarnes Bane (Moderate, Debuffs, Cone AoE)
Soul Beam (High, ST maintain, Strips resistance like Valerians power)

@ 33%
Crushing Incantation (Huge, AoE, Debuff)

Now that's it for Tier 1, after defeating one of the above you're rewarded, 2 SCR and 200Q for your efforts, moving on to Tier 2 (Ground)

In this scenario you will face a potential 3 teams of 4 Super Villain (Tough) Ranked opponents (Approximately 900K HP each) with different styles but certain targeting comes into play when half the team's health drops below 66% and 33% HP remaining accordingly, initially they target like any other but once the threshold is reached they co-ordinate efforts more so, first stage of targeting half the team targets the weakest (lowest HP or total) and the other half the strongest (highest HP or total), they alternate every 20seconds or so and is unaffected by aggro for 5 seconds between switching, at stage 2 all the team focus on the weakest or the strongest in order to cause a domino effect, the arena takes place similar to Gravitar and Fire and Ice in a containment field, ground level, now to meet the teams -

First team is the Cyber kin, 4 Techno organics -
Deuteron, uses energy based Power Armour and has Invulnerability as his passive being ranged he tends to sit behind the melee opponents,
Axon, uses Gadgeteer powers to debilitate and debuff players and has Medical Nanites to patch his brothers every 3 seconds with thousands of HP per burst, being ranged tends to stand with Deuteron,
Delta, uses Laser sword, has Personal Force Field as his passive, melee relentlessly attacks and grounds running units with NTTG yanks and lunges,
Theta uses Bestial powers and Regen, so your generic bestial build, same as above.

Second team is Warriors,
Artamax, uses unarmed and regen passive (Debuff, CC, knocks)
IronClaw, uses heavy weapons and unstoppable passive (Heavy hitter, damage/knocks)
Phalanx, uses single blade and Way of the Warrior passive (bleeds, burst, damage)
Max, uses bestial and Defiant passive (Tank, bleeds, survivability)

Third team is Might and Magic,
Enigma, uses Sorcery and uses Aura of Ebon Destruction passive (Damage/debuffs, periodic AoE Heal)
Scythe, Bestial with WoTW passive. (damage dealer, bleeds)
Armand, Dual blades with WoTW passive. (Damage dealer, spike damage)
Venator, Archery with Quarry passive. (Damage and light CC/Debuffing powers)

Now that's it for Tier 2, after defeating one of the above team you're rewarded, 3 SCR and 500Q for your efforts, moving on to Tier 3 (Mountain)

for Tier 3 takes place on a mountain top of sorts, you will face 2 potential teams of 3, Legendary Ranked and approximately 2Mil HP Each, targeting priority works as previous round, the teams you can fight are -

Replicas, 3 Huge red Dragons with some serious punch, 3 Might users with Defiant passives, hit in the High to Massive range of damage in general, uses powers just like generic might, across the board from pummel to Haymaker.

Snakes, 3 large green Snakes with alot of agility, 3 unarmed users with Lightning Reflexes passives, hit in the Moderate to Huge range of damage in general, uses similar to generic unarmed, across the board from vicious strikes to Burning Chi Fist and Open palm strike.

to note, once one has fallen, the other 2 Enrage, their base damage increases by 50%, and increase in size to reflect this, once 2 fall the other enrages again, gaining an additional 50% base damage boost and grows once again to reflect this til all 3 fall and you can collect your reward, 5 SCR and 1000Q, moving on to Tier 4 (Sky)

rtma

This one gonna take more of an explanation, the general setup is kinda like Frosticus and Kenina encounter but more intense, located on a contained sky platform, something similar to This but without the buildings, the opponents are 2 elemental Dragon's which are avatar's of my 12 potential elemental Brothers, they would be chosen at random to face together and use their Elemental power accordingly, I'll explain shortly, They will be Legendary (Tough) Ranked and have approximately 3.5mil HP Each, and use their powers relentlessly up to 200ft range, now I'll explain each of their passives, powers and effects they will have on the battlefield, Phase 1 (or full HP to 2/3) will engage with basic cycling of powers while engaging those who have highest aggro (Usual encounter), Phase 2 (HP between 2/3 and 1/3) they will engage with a more varied array of powers, more damaging scale with HP Threshold and periodic change of the arena, Phase 3 (HP Between 1/3 and Defeat) Both Avatar's will attack in tandem like previous Tiers towards the same target in order to overwhelm the team, Arena changes are more persistent, Ultimates present, just like in FnI if one Avatar is downed and the other is still standing, they will Enrage (With one exception) in an attempt to avenge the fallen until they're or you're defeated, now let's breakdown the 12 variations, starting with the 12 possible Elementals,

rtma

This is it Heroes, you came this far and now it's time for the final challenge, you enter a cosmic platform in space only the reveal a large figure in the distance, you tab target and see a 9mil Cosmic Rank entity called Rtma's Avatar, that's right, me, congratulating you on making it this far and offer you one last test, you also notice that the avatar has a Passive called Godly Resistance, this acts as a powerful Invulnerability that the AI use (So something like 350+ flat damage reduction), in this arena you have to defeat my Avatar before becoming too powerful and wipe your team, this happens because the Avatar also has a Timed Enraged mechanic(Initially without one until 60seconds elapsed once combat has started), once every 60 seconds my avatar gains a stack of it and grows somewhat in size to reflect the power gained, after 10stacks, powers are enhanced (And again at 20stacks, 30 if you live that long), gaining double range and spawning fissures when striking the ground with a melee attack, I'll explain that shortly, after managing to get me to 2/3 HP remaining, gain a 2nd passive called Godly Recovery, which is a powerful regeneration that gives ~10K HP every 3 seconds, and at 1/3 HP remaining, a 3rd and Final passive called Godly Endurance which is a Defiant Passive on top of that, giving extra resistance, now to explain the powers the Avatar uses.

Powers - Stage 1 -
Cleave (Moderate to Extreme+ with Enrage stacking, 25ft 3x combo, 1&2 are 360 degrees and 3rd hit is a 6ft cylinder(?))
Skullcrusher (High to Extreme+ with Enrage stacking, 25ft charged burst 6ft cylinder)
Arc of Ruin (Moderate to Extreme+ with Enrage stacking, 25ft 360 degree charged PBAoE, disorient, Physical damage debuff)
Brimstone (Moderate to Extreme+ with Enrage stacking), 25ft PBAoE, Knock down, disorient)
Decimate (Moderate to Extreme+ with Enrage stacking), 120ft Lunge, NttG, Snare, disorient)
Stage 2 -
Cycles between Elemental powers that his Brothers used before hand, Stage 3 powers cycle thru Ultimate's randomly instead, colour coded for reference.

When 10stacks of Enrage is reached -
Unlocks Havoc Stomp (Huge - Extreme+ with Enrage stacking, 50ft charged PBAoE knockback, secondary 200ft 360 degree shock wave, causes arena to shake, and NTTG, Sonic damage, spawns fissures under players outside of PBAoE range)
Unlocks Earth Splitter (Huge - Extreme+ with Enrage stacking, charged, 100ft x 5ft Rectangular AoE, after initial burst damage, Area becomes a rectangular Fissure that causes escalating Crushing and Fire damage for 10seconds before dissipating)
Brimstone causes secondary 200ft, 360 degree PBAoE shockwave that also applies NTTG to players, also knocks down those in 50Ft PBAoE,
Spawns fissures upon striking the ground with melee strikes on players affected, those include 3rd hit from Cleave, Skullcrusher, Arc of Ruin, and Brimstone.

When reaching 20stacks, replace cleave with Mega D ground pounding attacks and foot stomps, also give a chance on using a Extreme+ damaging ST charge power, Annihilate attack.

This pretty much covers what happens, my avatar would occasionally speak to encourage the heroes to fight harder, otherwise on defeat everything resets, HP, Size, power etc, and players can try again, when victory is accomplished by the players, my avatar shrinks down to original size, takes a recovery position and then stands up, giving a clap, Congratulating them for passing his Gauntlet, offering a reward circle for their efforts which offer, 4GCR, 12SCR, 5000Q, perhaps some random Mods as well, similar to other cosmics, The Avatar would be standing with his arms folded and speaks on the occasion for those that stand around, a few quotes would be 'That was Fun, we should play again sometime' or 'Not Bad, for Earthlings' and that concludes my Epic Rampage Alert suggestion, hope it would be considered if at all, could also add a Daily for G rewards like 10G.

Character sizes goes as Follows, the majority of Bosses you encounter would stand around 10ft in size, with some exceptions, IronClaw and all Elemental Brothers would stand 20ft in height, Scythe and Artamax would stand at 15ft, Delta would stand at 12ft, Deuteron would stand at 11ft, Enigma would stand at 9ft, Venator at 8.8ft, Max/Snake boys at 8ft.

Certain Dragon’s would have Aura’s to reflect accurately to their characteristics and of their nature, for the elemental Brother avatars would go as follows,

This is something I thought of a few years back I wanted to share but didn't have anything articulate as this, toke me several hours to compile said suggestion, wondering how other players might like it.
Well, what do you think?
Waste of time?
Could be fun?
Love it?
Aint gonna happen?
Whatever?
Something, Anything?
Well, I tried, fading into obscurity.

Giant wall of purple text? If you have something large you want people to read, it's gotta be formatted for easy reading.

@pantagruel01 I had a text document to show but as I said, it wouldn't accept the link, so I had to C&P it, also if personalizing text is the only excuse for not reading it then that's a shame... I've changed it to default, happy now? no more excuses.

More readable, though using things like headers would help. In any case:

1. Inserting yourself in there automatically turns this into 'Ain't gonna happen'.
   
2. Gauntlet setups like this are problematic. It's similar to Forum Malvanum, which is not the most popular content.
   
3. It's a large number of characters to design when most won't actually be used in any given run.
   
4. A lot of them have unique powers, which adds power (and sfx) design.
   
5. It's a bunch of extra map design to make switchable realms.
   
6. It's all a bunch of random stuff with no connection to any lore.
   

Overall, it sounds like a lot of work for not huge gain.

You don't really know the gain though. Just because you wouldn't do it doesn't mean no one else would. This game has a small population, so many things take a bit to get going or can depending on the time. I understand about the resources, but honestly? I'm thinking trying to add something entirely new, not just a re-skin and maybe not to this scale, would be a bad thing. Entirely new things can be a good thing. Especially for CO being as old as it is.

Eh, I probably would do it. It's just that you could produce 3-4 other things that I'd also do for the same coding investment.

I also like the idea that this could be a Open World Mission but the damage/HP would have to be scaled up, the timed mission would be about 1 hour long, in order to activate it you would still have to remove the occupying forces (most likely located at and around a Colosseum, maybe recycle Forum Malvanum stage) and then activate the 'Beacon' in the middle to start it then the first tier group will make an appearance for you to battle, for every 10 minutes that transpires or the boss and minions have been 'Checked off the list' the next Tier group will spawn til Tier 5 Boss appears 40mins (If it takes that long) in and to win you must defeat everyone, other wise you fail and would take 30mins to reset, if you win, 2 hour cool-down applies, and what I've stated, every Tier except 5 will be random encounter from the possible combinations (Tier 4 Bosses especially), every-time you start it, if no-one is around everyone resets HP and goes back to starting positions in the middle of the arena and await engagement, and rewards can be consolidated at the Reward Circle upon checking the list and winning the OM.

As for HP, I was thinking something like -
Tier 1 Boss - 2 Million HP
Tier 2 Bosses - 1.2 Million Each
Tier 3 Bosses - 3 Million Each
Tier 4 Bosses - 7 Million Each
Tier 5 Boss - 15 Million HP
