Just sittin here and thought i'd share a couple ideas.
1.) DOORS: made front different materials so breaking through certain doors means the proper force required. wood being weakest, then metal, then electrified doors( every time you physically hit it...it shocks you taking your health down), and forcefield doors( the hardest).
2.) EXTRA PROJECTION POINT: characters that weild weapons could have the option of firing a ranged attack from their weapons. imagine firing lightning from your wizard staff or fire from your hellish sword?
3.) MORE HEAVY WEAPON CHOICES: more styles to choose from. swords, hammers, axes, staffs, ect. maybe just plain looks and some not as huge. can still get the same effect.
4.) WEAPON IN HAND: when you run...your weapon is still in your hand. these characters are WEILDERS so...let them weild.
5.) POP UP CITY ATTACKS: imagine your in Club Caprice and red lights and warning sounds go off. you rush out side and check your mini map. red circle flashing at docks. when you get there with everyone else that heeds the call...a giant monster has risen out of the bay attacking everything in sight. option ideas...alien warbot, plant creature, lava men, and even a team of super villians.
6.) RANDOM CHARACTER ATTACKS: (Behemoth):a leap attack with both fists overhead then coming down on target. also deals knockback and damage to foes close to main target . (Fire): a continuos stream of fire from outstretched hands like flame breath (Earth): have a giant rock fist form in an uppercut or a massive frontal punch but still attatched to the ground. maybe form a controllable rock golem. your contiousness goes into it until you or foe are defeated (Heavy Weaponer): a swing of the weapon maybe back handed or both hands swinging frontal with roomsweeper effect
7.) FIGHTING CLAWS: more styles, some just plain claw/dagger looking and giving more attack ideas.targets bleed like sword attacks
8.) MORE HELMETS: want different styles either half or full. flat to side wing options please
9.) ARCHETYPE IDEAS: ok, we know stretchings out. (Changeling): different attacks from different animals: Kangaroo kick, Rhino ram, Bear claw swipe...different ones, Lion pounce,Gorilla beatdown...couple punches, Elephant area stomp, Eagle eye rake, and his flight special free option...change into a eagle, hawk, falcon, ect. maybe even a T-Rex chomp and tail smash? (Speedster): this guy could use some existing attacks but some more ideas are, Superspeed Dodge, 360 Assault...he runs around target punching, Tornado Spin...a combo attack with direct and area damage plus defense, and Speed Ram. (Density Master): can become super heavy/dense or immaterail. attacks could be Diamond Punch...several different ones with different effects, Phase touch...disruptive, Ground Slam...jumps up then comes down heavy with area knockback. he could have several defenses also. Super Density or Intangiability. walking through objects would be cool but i'm sure thats not possible. (Size Changer): this character would have different attacks based on size changing. also...his strength and durability are determined by his size. maybe 35 ft tall would be his maximum. one ability would be Micro-stealth...unseen while in this form. all you see is maybe a small moving dot of your characters color.
10.) RAYS & BEAMS: Heat Rays, Sonic Beams, Freeze Beams, Cosmic Blasts, Radioactive Beam, Atomic Blast and can be fired from wherever we want...head, chest, palm, fist, or weapon!
11.) PRICES!!!!: shouldnt cost that much to change things. Retcons, Name, ect... come on powere that be... inflation. help us out here.
OK...I'm done for now. hope there will be looked at by the powers that...ahh...you know the rest. one more thing. Secret Identity slot.

OH...how do i remove the pic at bottom of pages? that character isnt me anymore?
I bind my battle-cries so that I can say them with the push of a button. It's easily done.

Like this....... /bind N "local Rule Britannia!"
N being the key I use.
local being the chat channel.
Rule Britannia being my battle -cry.

Yup, that's where you type it. Why don't you post here what exactly you typed so we can see what the problem is.

/bind x "yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy"
where x is the key you want to use and yyyyyyyyyyyy is what you want your charachter to say.
remeber you must use the /bind at the beginning and enclose the shout out in " " or it'll not work
I've heard on other Suggestions and various old dev posts that more varied enamation points are in planning, they're just not quite sure how to implement it right just yet.
Agreed. Looking at the heavy weapons, I don't see why we can't have some smaller weapons on there too: the animation doesn't actually look like it necessarily needs a large weapon, just something that you'd move slowly. To begin with, all the single blade weapons should be in heavy weapons and vice versa, allowing for a character using one to concievably use powers in the other without changing from their chosen weapon, but instead simply ramping up the power.
Yeah, this is something that bugs me a lot in the game. There is a workaround by quickly pressing a bind command after attacking something, but it's awkward to use. Star Trek Online has weapons drawn in it when inactive, although I suspect we don't get that because we have a more varied system that's harder to control. A 'wield' power connected to a button that you select from a variety of weapons to have as your wielded weapon when not in combat, to be held in your hand unless you press the wield button to put it away could be one way to do it.
I think this is what they're currently planning to do, with Zone wide events. In theory, that's what the latter stage of this Dr Destroyer event is supposed to be. Maybe. One thing I do suggest to Cryptic is have the enemies wander randomly or have new spawn points for them, because knowing exactly where they are because they always go there is a bit immersion breaking, although I appreciate that it makes things a lot easier to set up on the fly.
Nice ideas. Perhaps the fire one can work as a maintained version of a Blast attack, which would then mean it has the head, arms, fists, chest enamation point? Rest of them sound good too.
Fighting claws probably will get a lot more love over this year since they've actually got an archetype out that appeals to the seemingly large amount of people who prefer antiheroes over the 4colourpantsovertights heroes of yore. So some new claws is probably coming soon.
YES. NOW. CRYPTIC. MORE HELMET BITS. PLEASE.
The main thing with the animal one is stances. A lot of the regular powers we've got will work well for a fair few of these if only we had a new bunch of stances. We've got low-stance simian, what about standing up simian? We've got a werewolf stance, but what about the more angular quadraped stance, which would make height dependant on arm length and leg length, with the spine angle being based on how close they are.
Speedster powers, yes, even though I dislike speedster characters simply because I never read the Flash as a kid (I know, I had a sad childhood), would benefit those who struggle to make the martial arts moves fit their speedy guys and gals.
Density master... Hmm. To be honest, I'd add all those as secondary type powers for Mountain, similar to how the laser swords are a secondary set of powers amongst the Power Armour set.
Size changer... Hmm. We've got bits of those growth powers already, as pinnacled by Pulsewave's Genome build which even with the various changes over the years still lets you be a giant person, however a dedicated set to it... No, I'm not seeing that being a good thing. Although theoretically giants would be good, imagine what happens when 10 people pick that set for the increased damage. GIANTS. EVERYWHERE.
Shrinking is always a good idea, since targeting very seldom requires clicking on the person, mainly tabbing or autotarget settings, so it's not too overpowered, perhaps similar effects to the stealth power, where the passive gives you a power which can be activated to get the effect, so in this case you'd be small while the passive is on, however you'd only get the benefit (a stealth effect) if you activate it specifically and it turns off once you're in combat.
Enamation Points. They're a coming.
After you've played for a while (whilst a gold member), you get an additional costume slot per character. I usually use this for secret identity costumes, however the main problem with this is that there's not actually anything you can DO as a secret identity unless you roleplay.
I wouldn't mind if there was some kind of activity in-game which suggested less the superhero actions, but just a person who's keeping track of heroic things whilst being under the guise of a normal person.
For example, photography missions for a in-game newspaper company. You get a device, "Codak Kamera", which you need to use at sites of supercrime in various locations around the city, getting close to villains of various types.
If we have more activities that strongly imply (but don't necessarily preclude) mild mannered alter egos, then there'll be excuses to put more stuff that encourages people to actually have secret identities.
Oh, and the prices for everything seems fine, IMO. My only suggestion on prices is to make the grab bags a bit cheaper since... Well... Then you get people buying more of them at a time, meaning they get into the habit of buying lots at a time, which means more profit overall with more rewards per player. Maybe. That might not work, I don't know.
You would have to type /bind X "local HAVE AT THEE!!!"
Note that it's a capital X
Can I also suggest that your toon say "Have at thee!" instead of "HAVE AT THEE!!!". Other people tend to get annoyed at everything written in CAPS. The exclamation mark should be enough for people to realise that your toon is shouting a battle-cry.
Should do, yeah.
If you have any problems then post back mate.

Meanwhile, here in CO, say you're in Mill City or Vibora Bay, and you're wandering around with a drawn sword or gun. You're not in a war zone now - you're in a city. How would you expect the cops to react? Remember, they can't see that little green thing floating over your head that means you're a good guy...

I have just tested it to make sure that I originally gave you the correct bind and it worked for me.
One more time, this is the bind you should use.... /bind X "local Have at thee!!!"
I don't see why it doesn't work for you. Copy and paste it into your chat box
It must have a capital X and it must have the spaces.
Good luck.

You may already know this, but copy/paste in-game uses the following commands.....
Copy: Ctrl and C
Paste: Ctrl and V
Here's a very long stickied thread on bindings and commands that you might be interested in. It helped me a lot when I started using them...http://co-forum.perfectworld.com/showthread.php?t=81117&page=44
And bioshrike was a big help to me at the time.

Quick question since you seem to know how to do the "battle cries". Is it possible to bind a set of words to an individual power, rather than an individual key? I use a 360 controller to play, and it would be nice to have a phrase as power specific rather than key specific. Sorry for the thread derail btw, if you don't want to derail this further you could try sending me a pm. :biggrin:
Oops, I thought I hit the quote button on one of his posts, that question was meant for him. Sorry for the confusion. :biggrin:
Hi there. I don't use a controller, but I know how to bind a saying with a power to one key.
I could just tell you the bind I use to do this, but it would need quite a bit of explanation for you to modify it to your exact specifications.
Really the best thing for you to do would be to take some time out and have a look at this rather long thread. It's worth taking the time to do this and will tell you if what you are asking is possible........http://co-forum.perfectworld.com/showthread.php?t=81117

Dominus Drake Primus Database ,Also @Pyromasher ingame
13.) STREAMING EYES: different eye effects. we already have toxic and flame. would like ice, energy, radiation, and electric
14.) BROWS: more to choose from. reptilian, basic rock...no protrusions, bushier basic and aggresive brows, robotic/armored versions, alien, ect...
15.) SHIELDS: different shapes and even energy based shields
We already have Force which stands mainly as an energy powerset for the time being.. (I am hopefull ^^)
OR do you mean like battle shields? Like what Cap A uses?

I imagine(though I may be wrong) that he's wanting the choice of shield costume pieces that they have/had in CoH......I would love these too. However, herodad, a lot of the block powers have cool energy shield effects.
I totally agree. I have a bind on Britannia that has her shout "Rule Britannia!" while a lightning bolt shoots from the sky instantaneously conjuring her Sceptre of Power and transforming her into her hero identity. Basically battle cry+brimstone+costume change.
It looks fab and I've had nothing but compliments about it:biggrin:

Yeah, I looked through a pretty large amount of that thread, but only saw one person ask a similar question to what I asked, and nobody seemed to respond to him. Do you maybe know a specific person that would be best to ask about something like what I am trying to do?
I would only be able to show you the bind for using the keyboard. Bioshrike (who has already posted in this thread) may be able to help you.

Thanks, I will send him a pm, and ask him if he knows about it.
17.) BEEFIER BEHEMOTH'S: i look at this archetype like the Hulk, Thing, Colossus,ect...guys who could take it AND dish it out. make more according to what this character should be. he also needs some kinda healing ability.
18.) LEFT & RIGHT: as far as hands/arms go...wish we had the option of making each side whatever size we wanted. left hand/arm normal and right hand/arm huge. vice versa.
19.) POWERS BROWSER: when you go to the powerhouse, maybe have a computer set up sso you can watch a short video of each power and what it looks like when used. browse before you buy.
21.) CHARGE!!!!: give us head butts, charges, and ram attacks for animal characters like Rhino's, Bulls, Rams, ect....
22.) TAILS & ATTACKS: tail attacks.smacking, crushing, stabbing, and roomsweeper. alligator, scorpion, dragon, dinosaur, ect tails to choose from.
23.) DINOSAURS: heads and pieces to make dinosaur characters. anybody remember Dinosaurs for Hire? like those guys.
/signed. But...
That won't work, because:
1) Tails are purely cosmetic in this game. they have no emanation points for attacks.
2) What would a character without a tail do when using the power?
If this is ever added, it will be exclusive to NPCs. Specifically to a villain named Ankylosaurus.
