Buxom's Massive Suggestion List
crypticbuxom
Posts: 4,589 Arc User
I have been working on this one for a while.
Here is where I'll make a massive compilation of every little suggestion and feature that I personally would add to the game if I had the power or ability to make it so. A lot of ideas are echoes of ones that many players have made. Many either have my own spin on it or I just felt that it really needs to be included.
If there are any ideas below that needs to be further elaborated enough to make a thread, I will start one and link to it if anyone strongly requests it. Otherwise talk about whatever ideas you want here about what you like, dislike or would like to add to this list. I'll add it if you can justify the idea. Alternatively suggestions can be removed if I am convinced to do so.
This is all purely for fun of what I think would liven up the game. What I think is entirely neccessary to make this game great. Any and all of these can be used by Devs as they please for Champions Online. (Using them for any other Cryptic game and not sharing the tech with Champions would simply be rude.)
*Every suggestion that does not require paying money for is based on the system that full content and customization attracts the customers to pay for items in the store. Assuming those items actually work and are worth putting in the game and enhance the experience (but avoid pay to win). Creating items that encourage repeat purchases (on a character by character basis) are only to be applied to items worth paying for and having on each character, and not per use.
Key:
Added! Suggestion added to game and crossed out.
Questionable Needs heavy work.

NEMESIS INVASION - New - At the end of a Nemesis' career, they will spawn in one of the set locations in one of the game's Zones. Any number of players can participate to join but the boss' area cannot be accessed until the player tied to it arrives. Then the epic brawl in the form of an event.
OPEN MISSIONS - Add - Extra phases or even stuff to do in failed scenarios that need to be completed to refresh the Open Mission. *
CONTENT - NEW
NEW SOCIAL AREAS - Police Stations and Comic Shops in Central and in Westside. Bank in Central. Lobby at base of penthouse in Downtown. New grimey pit caves at construction site in Westside. Stronghold. Church unlocked in Vibora after defeating Therakiel. Madam Tolochkova's in Vibora (across SW corner of Juryrig's). The Crimson Lounge. Social area maps also useable in Foundry. *
R&D SKILL ACTIVITIES - Add locations where a unique mob interaction spawns if the appropriate unlock is acquired. *
MINI ZONES - Westside High. Destroyer Island.
STORY ARCS - Buffing Out the Mohagany Club. Something About Argent. Kinetik Manipulation
SIDEKICKS CUSTOMIZED - A new system very much like the Nemesis one and you get to choose the sidekick's powers (AT choose set OR Freeforms up to 4) including a travel power. A device like the Sidekick change above where you get a device that is bound and customizable and has a separate cooldown from generic Sidekicks. Sidekicks can be equipped with gear like your character.
POWER SYSTEM UTILITY - A system where players can earn utility points in game to purchase unique abilities outside of normal power use. These can include a weak player revive at the cost of hero points. The ability to repel other players to you when they are held or defeated. May even be an alternative to a level cap increase. *
CONTENT - FLUFF
FAMOUS NPCS - Characters of the lore is added in unique, usually empty, locations throughout the game to make it feel more populated. Ex: VIP Lounge has all ATs.
MUSIC & SOUND - Broaden and extend music to add more to the atmosphere and create unique tracks to emphasize importance of content and events.
COMMUNITY
CHAT BAN - Retool - Putting someone on ignore reports them by default but each account may only report an @handle once in this fashion.
POWER HOUSE THEATER - Add - SGs may now have the ability to gain moderation status in an instance to evict trouble makers into an unmoderated instance number.
GM EVENTS - Allow GMs more power to set up events they want to encourage community play, within their means and approval for the schedule.

But please chime in with what you agree or disagree with.
My undestanding is that already works.
Instead the server should make a custom chat channel for every account and filter where it can be seen.
By default its whatever channel they are talking in for course.
Ignore should be a level of a flag feature.
A list of flagged accounts would contain the name and the text you flagged, then you could choose one or more accounts in the list with checkboxes and then choose the channel to ignore or show them. For instance "Ignore in: Zone" and "Read in: Trade" would be two selections from the UI, and you could set the last 10 WTSellers you flagged to that with a few clicks.
Choosing "Ignore in: All" would work as expected.
A simple database:
ID,@your_handle, yourcharacter, date, time, @other_handle, their_character, chat source, text, <channel flags>,...,...,
Explaining custom channels to noobs is, well, it takes the fun out of teaming noobs.
I may not actually want every noob in my custom channel, they can be real weirdos.
If I could just click that they were "Teamed" and have them show up in my "Teamed" chat tab or in the "Teamed" color in any tab I choose, then I could track all these people without friending them and forgetting who they are and how I know them, and/or super grouping them all and having to clean a huge list of inactive accounts evey month, or worse having to explain to every new SG person why there's hundreds of people who haven't logged in for months.
I could keep some people in the "Teamed" flag, without putting them on ignore for being trade spammers. I teach a noob a few tricks and in a few hours their hustling Purple Gang Tommy Guns in the open, that hurts, right in the gut. They were the chosen one, the one who was going to bring fun to the Q grind. But no, they are twisted and evil, more merchandisers than men. Let me flag them as "Darth Mall" or "A No Hope".
You forgot about PFF though, not all PFF users knock/repel/hold so this would limit this buff to force users.
Try implementing/suggesting the idea I passed on to you regarding PFF. (Namely innate dmg resist which scales higher as shield goes lower (30% - 70%) and a static shield regen value instead of it's current version where low shield HP = lower shield regen at very low levels)
I forgot to mention also,
Legacy Devices (this fix has already been carried out
EM nerf, this would mean that your threat is still wiped but you don't turn invisible? Is that what you are referring to? If so then that seems fine IMO

__________________________
About heavy weapons, not only annihilate needs to be looked over. A power like skewer looks nice at first, until you count in it does low damage on its aoe part, has a small aoe and it roots you. Before the aggressor/enrage changes heavy weapons was a nice set, now it is lacking on all fronts.
Its really an ongoing process that needs reworking until its done right. Players being able to chat ban someone without some kind of GM regulation beyond the first auto ban offense really needs to be looked at some more.
I guess I can have stun proc it as well. If you don't have any of these four options in the form of a power than you really aren't fully utilizing the game and not trying to defend yourself.
That's why it is green.
That is exactly how it will work. You can stack that dodge, but it will have a cooldown on the stealth very much like how Smoke Grenade's advantage works.
A hold review can really fix up power sets like ice. Individual sets and how they work as a whole is weakened by sweeping changes. Either that or how some powers as they are work only for niche situations.
As for heavy weapons, that's what the All Might suggestion is there for. Regarding Skewer, that power is already very effective. However, the self rooting with Heavy Weapon or any melee power is just something that needs to be looked into and rebalanced.
Ah ok, better call is brick then, might is only.. well.. might.
Adding Smoke Grenade to the list.
STORE SIDEKICKS - Retool - Make all devices permanent and Bind on Equip with limited use of 1 hour for every 24 hours Real Time. Only one may be used at a time.
-maybe bind to account instead of bind on equip, or possibly both as two separate items, (choosing "one for me" or "one to sell/give away/whatever" kind of thing)
And the Evasive Maneuvers/Smoke Grenade changes might become a potential annoyance at some point, especially if it's "Only effected once every 30 seconds. Period." instead of "Once per character every 30 seconds."
I would also love to see the crafting system return in some incarnation, as was mentioned in the "pro-tips" topic, it's just not feasible to get to 400/400 in crafting skills, as the only way to increase it at the moment is to grind nodes, or fuse hundreds of mods.
And then I notice the dates ... sorry.
Also had a C-Store idea, but when I had to scroll up to quick reply ... well I lost it.
Or you could buy from AH/open Lock Boxes for the '+10 Crafting Skill Up' item.
And playing by myself since Aug 2009

The reason they are BoE is that the prices are already pretty low. And it would attest to how custom sidekicks work. And being BoE, you can give them to whoever you wanted.
