Here we are now going to the West Side
Weapons in hand as we go for a ride
Some may come and some may stay
Watching out for a sunny day
Where there's love and darkness and my sidearm

"Science teaches us to expect -- demand -- more than just eerie mysteries. What use is a puzzle that can't be solved? Patience is fine, but I'm not going to stop asking the universe to make sense!"
I feel kinda bad doing an "I want post" after reading that one interview on how hard it is to balance artistic freedom, revenue generators and players demand. However, I'll give you three lists of three:
Three things I want overall:
The Foundry - I *really* want to use it to tell some stories.
Sidekicks - It would be really nice to make your own superhero team like how STO has officers.
Randomly Generated Zones - Kind of like the exploration in STO. I imagine forests like in Skyrim or endless deserts filled with scaled mob encounters, rescue missions and random crafting nodes. Some place players could just solo alone if they wanted to.
Three Specific Features I want:
Lion Heads with Manes - Or at least more feline heads that aren't saber-toothed.
Mirror in cave Display Case -- An option to have something other than weapons in the cave display case. I love my cave, but my mystic abhors weapons. For some reason there's a little voice in my head that says I need a mirror in my hideout. But even an option to have the display case empty would be nice.
Some level-scaled mob areas in MC - Sometimes I just want to grind between alerts while chatting. The now empty park next to the REN CEN would be a nice to put some level-scaled mobs. Especially if there was a chance of getting Q boxes.
Three Bugs I want Fixed:
Log-in Screen - I use steam so technically to just to play the game I have to log in three times (steam, launcher, and game). Whenever I switch characters I have to type in my PWE name and password. Ideally, I'd love to be able to switch characters without logging out. But at least just have it remember my PWE name.
Walking Bug - Sometimes NPCS are moved with no walking animaltion. It looks wierd.
"Master Villain Default" - There's a NPC in the thugs mobs with this name.
Bonus: Three things I love about CO:
The Character Customization
Based on an IP that is designed to draw out player creativity.
1. Plant power set. I'm a little shocked that I'm the first to mention this.
2. Updated Nemesis system. Then Nem helps to define the hero, so it could use periodic updating. Since we just had a major over-haul, this should be updated as well.
3. Foundry. It creates greater involvement. The ultimate customization tool. It would be kickin' if we could create new costumes parts too.
1. Plant power set. I'm a little shocked that I'm the first to mention this.
i was at work :P
1. plant powers, if you were to completely rip off a certain game's nature affinity set, i'd be ok with that, water powers too. please rip-off liberally
2. a new zone.
3. more costumes.always more costumes.
bonus: elemental melee striking attacks. personal lightning storms are cool and all, but a punch with your fist surrounded in ice, or a cone aoe hook-kick with flame trailing your foot, I think those are thematically justified.
don't even have to be new animations, if you can throw convincing particle effects on might/martial arts moves, I think that would suffice.
basically, pwi, remember you have this game, an opportunity is coming up to poach the hell out of a game. I dont expect them to go willy nilly adding stuff that is untested and bugged, but this is a big chance for co, if pwi still remembers that it exists.
1. Buy to play $15 free form slots.
2. Team leader/solo level and mob scale slider at every instance entrance with a mob type picker.
3. User friendly standalone demo_record editing tools/support.
1) Ad campaigns and a marketing department (if it doesn't exist). When Rift came out, there were ads on every other public transportation bus in San Diego. I want to see a Champs ad there. And there should be commercials. Or other kinds of advertisements.
2) Tripple the staff for Cryptic. And they shouldn't all be working on NWN. Head hunt talent from other game making studios. The people who made tab-targetting work flawlessly? Hire them. All of them.
3) PW not to treat this game like a throw away title just there to suck money from its shrinking playerbase until the game finally dies.
It makes me sad to level a new character and see less than 5 people in each zone outside of MC and know there is only one instance. There used to be at least 4 instances of Canada on a regular basis. I remeber zone hopping/teaming with random people just to kill all of the couriers because there were so many other people doing the same mission. Now, there are 20 people in all of 1 Canada instance. Same was true of the Southwest. And both crisis zones.
And before you say "bla bla bla OnAlert", there aren't that many instances of MC either.
The ad campaign makes sure there are new people that come to this game, play it, and spend money on it. More staff means there are more people making stuff for this game to keep people coming back or from leaving in the first place. Don't tell me PW doesn't have the money to carry CO through the red while implimenting changes to make the game more long term profitable, because that's crap.
Well, with recent developments considered, the three things I think I would like are:
1. The head of the person who thought player controlled chat bans were a good idea on a silver platter with a little garnish around the sides. (will settle for leaving the garnish off if I must.)
2. Loot that I don't have to pay for.
and barring the first two:
3. a refund.
The Forumite formerly known as Galeforce.
If you want my money, there is a fairly simple way to get it since I am fairly free with how I spend it. First, produce something I consider to be worth buying. Second, offer it up for sale. Don't lock it behind a gambling scam. If I want something, I am perfectly happy to pay for it. But I will not purchase a CHANCE to get it, When I pay money, I have a perfectly logical right to expect to get what I want.
There's plenty of free loot still out there. Heck, the other day I had to stop running around on chained quests in VB so I could head over to the vendors and empty my bags! All the Takoboxes I found took up exactly one of those slots, ergo there's still lots of things (some might say too many of them) falling out of monster-pockets.
"Science teaches us to expect -- demand -- more than just eerie mysteries. What use is a puzzle that can't be solved? Patience is fine, but I'm not going to stop asking the universe to make sense!"
1. More 1-40 content (Will accept Foundry instead)
2. A new tights pack
3. Overhaul of some of the older content in a similar vein to westside, with greater focus on open world missions.
I didn't even know Ivan wore slips. Do you really think pink is his color, though?
"Science teaches us to expect -- demand -- more than just eerie mysteries. What use is a puzzle that can't be solved? Patience is fine, but I'm not going to stop asking the universe to make sense!"
1. Nemesis system overhaul (New missions, update the powersets, tweak the minions, add a couple more personality types etc).
2. UI / responsiveness overhaul
3. A moratorium on additional new content until the bulk of bugs are ironed out. Polish this game until it GLOWS!
After that, then there's a solid base for new stuff.
EDIT: I'd love for the Vibora Bay Apocalypse to be decoupled from the zone proper. i.e. you no longer have to complete the Apocalypse arc to gain access to the zone.
1) More replayability. I don't care if it's new content, opening "one and done" lairs *and* adding better rewards to them, or the Foundry.
2) Better testing and release management: stop faux fixing or resurrecting bugs every. single. damn. time. You know, the old saying "an ounce of prevention..." really does work, Cryptic.
3) Fix PVP. Not a PVP player, but that group has gotten roflstomped in a bad way that reflects very poorly on Cryptic's idea of customer service. Honestly, it's unacceptable.
1. Moving the development of the mentioned major content addtitions (Destruga, 'Hell's Kitchen' of MC, Moon) further up the list of priorities, possibly right after Vehicles and...
2. ...the introduction of a new, improved, and fixed Nemesis system, if possible with taking inspiration of the various related threads on the forums, where a lot of good ideas have been posted.
3. ...and a 'Gangnam Style' music video starring Dr. Kaufmann. (starring Lee Tosi in the infamous elevator scene.)
Some new Emotes would be nice. I really liked the boom box from COH that had about 20+ different styles of tunes to choose from. New and different un-bugged power sets.
More zones for both pve and pvp.
1) Removal of the absolutely and utterly stupid player-run mafia chat ban system.
2) The Foundry.
3) More devs to do #1 and #2 ASAP.
THIS. SO MUCH THIS.
My list is similar, except it STARTS with -
1) Spend ONE ENTIRE DEVELOPMENT CYCLE FIXING ALL THE BUGS - to INCLUDE the absolutely and utterly stupid player-run mafia chat ban system. That is NOT a feature. That is a BUG!
2) The Foundry
3) MORE DEVS for the reasons stated above. And give them their own section of the forums for people to talk to them in and ENCOURAGE them to communicate with the players!
(I could have listed "The FOUNDRY" as all three of my choices - and only half-jokingly, but the game is so badly broken right now that BUG fixes have to take priority #1! And that is so very sad...)

Yes, you ARE sensing a pattern. :rolleyes:
If there had never been a COH there would never have been a CO. :cool:

Why not to do surveys and free offers

2. A Foundry system so we can make, share and actually have new content.
3. A pink slip on Ivan's desk for Christmas
The first two are self explanatory and the third one you'll just have to trust me on.
2. A new tights pack
3. Overhaul of some of the older content in a similar vein to westside, with greater focus on open world missions.

2. (Devs) Moar devs to play with!
3. (All) The stuff in my siggy, before they get sent to the forum graveyard.

Stuffy on the old CO forums. PWE ate my username.
This would almost be my exact list, except
I'm less concerned about the forums and more about the game, so I would replace #1
with actually fixing the Chat Ignore/Report system
and I don't mean another one of those "ya we ttly gona fix dat" posts from a dev
I mean actually fixing it
2) Better testing and release management: stop faux fixing or resurrecting bugs every. single. damn. time. You know, the old saying "an ounce of prevention..." really does work, Cryptic.
3) Fix PVP. Not a PVP player, but that group has gotten roflstomped in a bad way that reflects very poorly on Cryptic's idea of customer service. Honestly, it's unacceptable.

Nobody likes getting the pink ones, even if they like pink to begin with.
Well, then I say:
1. Moving the development of the mentioned major content addtitions (Destruga, 'Hell's Kitchen' of MC, Moon) further up the list of priorities, possibly right after Vehicles and...
2. ...the introduction of a new, improved, and fixed Nemesis system, if possible with taking inspiration of the various related threads on the forums, where a lot of good ideas have been posted.

I've a number of other things I'd like, but those are my current most-wanted things.
There is no such thing as a free lunch. If you aren't paying for it, you aren't the customer; you are the product being sold.
Dollar, dollar, bill, yo. Cash rules everything around you and me.
Some new Emotes would be nice. I really liked the boom box from COH that had about 20+ different styles of tunes to choose from. New and different un-bugged power sets.
More zones for both pve and pvp.
2. Sidekick system (with full power choices even if I have to buy a sidekick slot that hopefully isn't as badly priced as the freeform slot)
3. More hairstyles please or at least open up some of those NPC only ones you have.
THIS. SO MUCH THIS.
