This game is just to have a little fun, and please, try to keep the already known issues out of here. This is just for silliness and some laughs, and sometimes what people would actually do to benefit the game!


If I were a Dev...

I'd make Grond a rampage alert! I'd also try to have atleast one event happen every month!:biggrin:

    I would design a terrible villain the size of a building named Squeaky the Clown. He would spam ruins and run around MC forcing people into 1v1's and eating them.

    Also he fires rainbows from his eyes.

    If I were a Dev...

    Hideouts would have the functionality and customizability of CoX SG bases (something I sincerely expected them to be). Vehicles would also have the customizability of our own superheroes and the costume creator.

    Oh? What's that? Silly things?

    Oh... well then I'd make a fat witch on a tiny broomstick fly around MC and trail rainbows :D when she'd cross your path, she'd turn you into a random animal and the only way to get rid of it was to pass it on to another player. She'd keep doing this until everyone on the map was an animal and that'd mean an instant win for her or players could get together, shoot her out of the sky and take her on. Then she'd explode in glitter and everyone could have some cool random event item. :D

    I say stuff and I say things, sometimes together but only when I'm feeling adventurous.

    I would write emotes that uses passers-by, and other friendly NPCs, join the character in special "flash-mob" events where everyone seems to take part in a spontaneous choreography and then melt back to their previous roles.

    With this daft idea a /sad character could sag forlornly, only to be comforted by a random, passing NPC, etc, etc ...

    Superhero stories, done well, are about modern archetypes.

    I'd fix the costume limitation for good and the entire time laugh whenever a fellow dev would mention the "clipping" issue.

    OR

    Remake all old costume unlocks, action figures, power replacers, devices (including Open Missions rare rewards but buffed/fixed) and the like and put them back into the game and put them where they belong (not available in a lock box or a store that requires opening lock boxes but earned in game).

    (And this would be the focus of the first quarter of the business year. If it gets done early, the next thing would be worked on immediately rather than waiting for the traffic to decrease.)

    If I were a Dev even just for a day
    I'd roll out bug fixes every week
    And test it thoroughly before it goes live

    Pitch ideas with the guys
    And chase after goals
    I'd kick it with concerned players
    And I'd never get slammed for it
    'Cause they stuck with us all along

    If I were a Dev
    I think I could understand
    How it feels to love money more
    I swear I'd be a better man

    I'd listen to them
    'Cause I know how it hurts
    When you lose the game you loved
    'Cause we're taking you for granted
    And everything you loved got destroyed

    If I were a Dev
    I would push for what's important
    Tell everyone it's broken
    So they'd know that I was doing my job

    I'd put the game first
    And make the players feel appreciated
    'Cause I know that they'd be faithful
    Waiting for their beloved to come home, to come home

    I would also make a Grond Rampage that takes place in the desert, on a large map.

    I would also publicize more that Alerts can be done through Socrates/Crime Computer button--no need to hang out in Ren Cen to run Alerts.

    Finally, I would add missions to the existing zones--give folks a reason to back to those zones. Maybe one new story arc of 3-4 missions per zone (Desert, Canada, MI, VB, and even Lemuria).

    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.

    If I were a developer, I'd seek to buy my way out from under Perfect World, to establish my own independent game company. This way, I could design a game from the ground up that would combine the best elements of ALL the genre's game titles so far into one massive, orgasmic convulsion of super-heroic awesomeness.

    If I were a dev...

    I'd create an all-level-range mini-arc, using only existing game assets, which would consist of 3 missions, (culminating in a boss confrontation of some kind), every other week or so. The final mission would grant a cosmic key, they'd require a team of at least 3 people to play, and it'd be playable once a day. They'd all start w/ one of the police officers near Defender, but vary in the villain group you'd be facing off against.

    These would use the scary monster tech, and the lead-up missions would grant a bonus at the end commensurate with what is given for doing a standard alert. I'm thinking that each of the 3 missions would follow the basic theme of an alert type - so you'd have 1 smash-style, 1 burst-style, and 1 grab style mission.
