    A proper set for sci-fi. Laser pistol (single, not dual) powers, short-range teleport lunge, energy/forcefield-themed block with mechanics similar to ebon void, an "energy drain" style lifedrain clone, and many of the high tech gadgeteering powers. Maybe even the non-toggled PA powers could find a home here, too. Healy beams also. As far from fire's design philosophy as possible, too!

    Now going way out there, a better power respec system, but I know that'll never happen due to a lack of developer resources.

    PS: More shoes/boots with heels pls~

    Regardless, it's been a wish of mine for some time. I posted the same idea a couple of years back. I've seen others periodically suggest emanation points for guns/rifles too.... in much the same way that I have seen others suggesting this wand/staff idea over the years.

    Let's hope that one of them being implemented would lead to the other happening :)

    Oh and my third wish, as they seem to come in threes, is for flying animal sidekicks (Loyal Sidekick devices). It's time for the stuffed flying animals to stop being glorified shoulder pads and give us a helping talon in the fight for justice. Options such as owls, falcons, Ravens and tiny dragons would be cool... oh and dogs, just because.

    Some things regarding queues! (and one other thing)
    • When a queue pops, it makes a more attention-grabbing sound
    • When a queue pops and you're tabbed out, it flashes the taskbar

    My request for this year anniversary: Defender's National Training Program but instead of emotes, you get a Freeform. Level up a character before a deadline and they get a Freeform. Or just give out a free Freeform because this game lasted 10 years, already. They will never do the latter but its worth a shot. The way I see it, this would give a F2P a taste of the most free build in any mmo. Entice everyone else one of the strength of Champions Online by letting these new comers try out the Freeform, just like Black Friday of 2015.
  • lezard21lezard21 Posts: 1,510 Arc User
    I strongly support the above. Just let every Silver Account created before the Anniversary month claim 1 FF slot​​

    They've given away Freeform slots at least twice now ( the FF slot bag event, and then at one point they just gave everyone 1 for being logged in during a certain timeframe ), so I'm not sure why it would be impossible that they would do it again.​​

    Except maybe travel powers. They don't seem to have any of those except for basic flight which they only use if they absolutely have to. Setting TPs for sidekicks shouldn't break balance. Might require an AI update though.

    Or even "buff pets" like an Eagle that buffs your perception, A Canine that buffs the damage you deal, and etc... The tech for that already exists and is partially in use. Would just need a possible re-skin.

    But full on battle animal pets would be cool too.

    1. Remove hybrid role.
    2. Remove pet devices.
    3. Remove pet powers.
    4. Remove sidekicking from all alerts.
    5. Stop fire snake, ball lightning; orbital cannon from running off on it's own.

    I FEEL ALL OF THIS IN A SPIRITUAL LEVEL Every single of this!
    Especially the forced sidekicking in alerts which nerf all my lvl 40, screw that
    Counting on Psedo-pets for Fire and Electricity mechanics was a bad idea 👏​​

    Terrible idea for many reasons. Mainly because of just how badly it'd scrw over half or more of the people who play the game.
    2. Remove pet devices.
    No, I like using them. You know this includes sidekicks right?
    3. Remove pet powers.
    NO!
    4. Remove sidekicking from all alerts.
    This is terrible for gameplay balance reasons. Unless you want the enemies to all be skull-level, it's just not mechanically viable.
    5. Stop fire snake, ball lightning; orbital cannon from running off on it's own.
    Those might be good ideas....

    Hybrid role = bad build that doesn't properly contribute to anything.
    Pet devices hit CC'd stuff, guaranteed; ruining kiga/ape/destroyer.
    Pet powers do the same thing.
    Sidekicking destroys energy mgmt, and makes 99% of builds not function properly in those alerts.

    You being bad at the game is no excuse to ruin it for everyone else.

    You being bad at the game is no excuse to ruin it for everyone else.

    While nbkxs isn't entirely right, he's also not entirely wrong. Hybrid role isn't a good role for anything. Even if you use it to tank it's pretty toxic for the game.
    Additionally pets have bad AI, it's just a fact. Even if they don't hit anything CC'd, they're unreliable, squishy, weak, and not really good for the game at all in their current state.
    The sidekicking thing is a bit of an overexaggeration though and only really affects builds that didn't already have work with energy management. That being said sidekicking is still really wonky and should get its scaling fixed. Alerts still should have sidekicking though, however it should be tiered. 11-20 should SK up to 20, 21-30 up to 30, and 31-40 up to 40.
    The technology is there, the PvP queues worked this way. The rotating alerts should just SK you up to 40 and, speaking of PvP queues, alerts should allow joining in progress at that. I mean people leave alerts all the time. I also think this might help battle leechers too.

    Oh, and I also quoted you because that literally has nothing to do with anyone being bad at the game.

    Hybrid isn't a tanking role, for that aspect it's equivalent to the Scrapper AT in CoH. You wouldn't expect a Scrapper to be main tank either, would you?

    Hybrid is the role you pick when you want to be versatile instead of locked in to a single task. You won't be amazing at a given task, but you won't be bad at it either (unless your build is bad, your build doesn't have those powers or you're a bad player). While Hybrid doesn't have a specific upside, it also lacks weaknesses.

    If "not being laser focused" is where you go to claim Hybrid is bad, you have the completely wrong mindset to begin with.
    Additionally pets have bad AI, it's just a fact. Even if they don't hit anything CC'd, they're unreliable, squishy, weak, and not really good for the game at all in their current state.
    Squishy, yes. But from (much) earlier dev discussions on the topic this is part of their balancing. Blocking the lifedrain portion of those attacks would be a nice QoL feature that shouldn't conflict with that design.

    Unreliable is only true for the uncontrolled ones, controlled pets take more micromanagement but can be quite reliable if you're up to the task. Custom keybinds can help a lot, but it still won't be for those who just want to spam one or two powers for the majority of a fight.

    Weak is only if considering their individual performance compared to a build, but if they manage to stay alive (see "Squishy") the combined dps of several pets at once can be specced to be at least equivalent to a dps build. Increasing the damage of pets is a dangerous proposal, as pet focused builds would then run the risk of becomming way too high damage.

    Also, the game is more than "Farm Cosmics & Enter Costume Contests". Not everything needs to be tailored specifically to those two aspects.
    The sidekicking thing is a bit of an overexaggeration though and only really affects builds that didn't already have work with energy management. That being said sidekicking is still really wonky and should get its scaling fixed. Alerts still should have sidekicking though, however it should be tiered. 11-20 should SK up to 20, 21-30 up to 30, and 31-40 up to 40.
    That would only work if you did not let 11-20 queue up with 21-30 or 31-40, otherwise you end up with either the lower level players being splatted in higher level alerts or the higher level players steamrolling lower level alerts (even more than what already happens). I doubt there's enough population to sustain that model for much longer than a month or two.
    Oh, and I also quoted you because that literally has nothing to do with anyone being bad at the game.
    And I still stand by that statement.

    I've seen Lautna's spider-bot survive fighting Gravitar, so it's not THAT squishy. It's mostly the massive AoEs on bosses that kill pets at Cosmics and events. Of course, once upon a time those attacks had a target cap of 25, and pet swarms would body block the blasts entirely in some cases. :p

    There are a few cases where hybrid role is genuinely bad, mostly team auras. The rest of the time it's just not the best at anything.
