    Bug fixes, costumes, powerset reviews, some lair updates, maybe 1 or 2 new Alerts. Possibly. Maybe. :p

    In 2019, Champions Online will receive:

    - Additions to in game content (perhaps expansions for Gateway and/or UNTIL)
    - Adjustments / nerfs / fixes / buffs to certain powers and/or power sets which may cause player upset.
    - Feature less new vehicle skins than 2018 did.
    - Bring several new lockboxes and costume sets and emotes.
    - Bring more costume transformations which are character bound *eye twitch*

    Well? Where are we going next?

    Well I am not sure if you all are being serious or not. But I throw in my 2 cents worth, of things what I think would help the game.

    1) The tutorial - It should be expanded in a way to show new players everything from powers selection to blocking.

    2) Expand the world of Champions Online - Adventures in different parts of the World and Universe of Champions - This maybe hard depending on the game engine and the game license.

    3) Add more Adventures for level 40: I might be wrong on this one since i just got to level 40. And I am still discovering stuff.

    4) Set a way to get/earn ONE (and only one) Free-form for free: This one might cause a little hate my way. But I think this would bring more players into the game.

    5) Powers - Expand and improve the power-sets (and add new ones if possible) this Players can set their Heroes in different ways

    I really enjoy this game,but I know I am still a newbie so if this takes this thread off track I am sorry, did not mean to hijack. :)

    The state of the game is currently California, although for reasons I still don't fully comprehend the state of the servers is Massachusetts.

    That's the team that made Onslaught u3u and the "Awakening System".

    On-Alert was before the period where the game was in actual maintenance mode, North showed up after that.​​

    as much as i would love to see some of this, from the hints that have been given, there are a few. I would say anything given free is not going to be on par with that from a lock box or in the z store. So we might get some free bones once a while but most things are going to be in the lock boxes this coming year "stock up while you can on keys". That's what i took it as meaning, new powers will be added to sets and sets revised and expanded but this may only be a few i hope for 4 or more but might be less. I would love some new lower level map options as after 50 characters so sick of the same content at lower level and i don't like the higher stuff. Guess i am a altaholic and too much a casual player than most, more alert options would be good and some alternative leveling options say like the old sewer net work as in COH. Throw in small little side quest here and there and some random adventure options to do.

    Each added content(or rather, one added new content; one reskinned in game assets for endgame), but the current devs seem more focused on some QoL updates/powerset reviews
    Buffing everything to stupid high levels and nerfing everything to piss poor levels yields the same results, but not the same community reactions.

    You forget who you’re talking to. :wink: That just happened to be the time Cryptic’s current development model fo CO began.

    One added new assets, the other added way more actual content using current assets ( and also added some new assets ).

    I think that we're all hoping it involves this new programming tool making it easier to revise old stuff and make new lairs, missions, etc. New powersets and the like, though.... not sure. I think we'll get more Costumes, Ultimates and Travel Powers, which boost sales of lockboxes or have to be purchased for Zen. Dev time has to be paid for and anything they do has to make a profit, too.
  • spinnytopspinnytop Posts: 16,450 Arc User
    I predict we'll get a silly costume piece, and somebody will be angry about it o3o​​

    All i want to say is that its already 2019 and its time for Cryptic to adress something very important.

    GROND needs more love
    Thats why we need a Grond centric Event or Adventure pack
    Something like....

    GROND VS MECHA-GROND

    It should include a GRONDBOX containing GRONDBUSTER-Powerarmor costume, an Anti-Grondling Tank Vehicle, a Grondling-Travelpower and many more GROND related godness.

    They cannot simply continue to ignore the star of the show.

    It's good that you put my name on that cause otherwise nobody would have known who that was directed at. I'm still not sure why it's directed at me though, can you explain? :D​​

    Might be a good idea to release Grond Revamp with Might Revamp. I highly doubt it tho since I presume Kaiz doesn't like to mess with Grond's coding because of his jumping schtick.

    She should probably just make Grond the same as the other 3 cosmics.

    And, the new growth device device will be released at the same time. It's all part of a BIG conspiracy :)
