...missions where you have to find groups of 3-4 npcs and kill them.
Like maybe 10 or so groups of those npcs, and then return to the quest giver. I really feel like it would add a good amount of variety to the game if there were more quests that told us to go kill X number of npcs, because when I think super heroes, that's what I think about. Being hired to go and neutralize small groups of enemies.
Also more missions where you run up to an interactive item and click on it, then wait for a progress bar to fill. I'm really getting bored with all the repetitive content while questing, and I think these two mechanics would really breath some fresh life into the game if they were implemented.

Sarcasm thread.
No but really, I think it needs more outside-the-box missions like the Malvan races. I thought it was fun as butts but the rewards were so limited, there wasn't much use of doing them over and over again. Maybe if you won tokens based on your place, and you could use those tokens to buy vehicle mods and costume pieces and junk.
I also think it needs travel power-specific challenge courses. If you've played Crackdown, you'll be familiar with the rooftop races. Stuff like that would be cool to do in Champs, what with all the different travel powers we have. Have Superspeed? See how fast you can get from the Prison to Harmon Labs. Have Swinging? Try to get to the top of the Blimp in Renaissance Center. Have Superjump? Try to land on one of them arch spikes in Renaissance Center.
...
Really that's difficult.
For some reason I got really hype reading this.
My super cool CC build and how to use it.
I do think that some sports-oriented PvP would be awesome. I know everyone wants to use their powers to kill everyone else, but some team-based, no-killing-each-other, get-the-McGuffin-from-here-to-there type of games would be pretty cool.
But not gonna.
Instead.....

Not that I'm looking to beat up female characters more. It just sort of irks me that groups like PSI only seem to have two female members.
Huh... I never thought about it. I can only think of Maniacs that have females. The VIPER air cavalry are female too, right? And some cowboy robots... Yeah it seems they mainly save females for villains... Weird.
yes, lets have a Bloodbowl tournament.
me, I want to see more huntin and gathering missions. go out collect your breakfast , cook and eat.
MI would be great, you could raid the Manimals food stores

Another amazingly epic thing on the stupendously long to-do list over at cryptic north!

Yeah exactly stuff like this. The powers only affect the "ball" unless it's some kinda push-away thing to use against other players.
Unfortunately, I think the soccer ball in the basement is a client-side physics object, so it appears different on everyone's screens. I'm sure they could just make it a critter though, with a bajillion HP and no knock resistance.
Would be much funs.
Of course you could always look at it as being kind of progressive in a way. Because there are so few females there are few damsels in distress as usually if you're rescuing someone you're rescuing a male scientist. Course that would be more believable if there were more female mobs and npcs in the game.
See this one I wouldn't mind as much if I felt the clicking the item wasn't a stupid endeavor to begin with. Sabotage a weapon's crate? Why I'm sure VIPER won't be in the least bit suspicious after a hero broke into their warehouse and beat everyone up and left all those weapon crates. Collect the pods? exactly were is my hero sticking those crates?
Another thing that annoys the hell out of me is those items you need to use on a defeated enemy that have cool downs for absolutely no reason. Put a viper card on a defeated manamal? Sure, need to wait 8 seconds between cards? WTF?
Ho yeah, this one really grinds my gears. That one in particular is a timed mission, to boot. Sure you get like a half hour, but still.
With more devs, we could get into other things the game needs more of, like zones.

If it is purely using repels like using the wind shield code then there is no resistances. Really get someone with that shield and get someone to use mini gun with pestilence and other DOT's on you, they'll shoot 100ft away from you in under a second. It'd be cool if they used this code but somehow made it only affect the ball. ;D

I'm sure you meant to say "And on top of that, they only give you like half an hour!"
You know when I first started playing this game, I was playing with a friend, and we picked up a mission with a 15 minute timer in Canada. I was like... OMG...FIFTEEN MINUTES!? this mission is gonna be EPIC!!! O3o
So I rushed my friend along.... when we finished with 14 minutes left on the timer... well let's just say that that was how early a lot of my opinions on "easy" began to form.... and this was way before On Alert u_u
My super cool CC build and how to use it.
Yeah they're a bit generous with their timers. The only times I think I've ever biffed a mission timer was when I didn't even notice it had one.
Oh wait, there's that one mission in Lemuria where you have to rescue some submarine, and you have to look for an air tank... holy crap, they give you what seems like 20 seconds and the thing you need to find is like outside the mission area circle thing. GRRLGGLLMPRPH
"biff" is a verb now?
biff definition
[bɪf]
to hit someone. : Tom biffed Fred on the snoot.
a blow. : The biff on the nose gave Fred a nosebleed.
to fall; to fail; to crash. : His bike hit a bump and he biffed.

Yes. As in, your avatar is so creepy that it's biffing the heck out of me. Less cyborg juice plz.
My super cool CC build and how to use it.
A bit generous? Compared to City of Heroes, the timed missions in CO are exceedingly generous. Even playing Hunt The $#@*^% Cave in Lemuria, I've never felt like a CO mission timer was going be a close call.
They're not there in the beginning, but when your story ends / Gonna last with you longer than your friends
I remember this one time I got one of those missions... I just kind of spaced out after arriving in Lemuria and ended up queing for alerts. Finished two of them before I noticed the mission was still in my log... went and mopped it up no problem.
I think your use of the word exceedingly is well placed.

They all thought I was out of the game....But I'm holding all the lockboxes now..
I'll......FOAM FINGER YOUR BACK!
Wicks and Things: NW-DI4FMZRR4 : The Fenwick merchant family has lost a caravan! Can you help?
Beggar's Hollow: NW-DR6YG4J2L : Someone, or something, has stolen away many of the Fenwicks' children! Can you find out what happened to them?
Into the Fen Wood: NW-DL89DRG7B : Enter the heart of the forest. Can you discover the secret of the Fen Wood?
Wow I always thought it was onomatopoeia. Like in comics when someone is struck in the gut by a punch there's a *BIFF* sound.
That's funny, I never knew that it could legitimately be used like in 3.
A few long years back, I was playing Blood Bowl (funny because Chaelk mentioned this a couple hours ago), and whenever someone would fail their Go For It! roll, I'd say that he biffed it. And that's actually how I started using that name. Guess who has the worst luck with dice rolls? :P
Edit: D'oh just saw that it's from a Slang dictionary. Oh well, semi-legitimate use then.
It's old-school but totally legit.
I'm in my late forties and from Texas, and my brother and I and our friends used the word "Biffed" in that manner. It basically means "To miss", as in miss a punch completely, like whiffing.
In my neck of the woods, "biff" meant a failure involving blunt force trauma, usually having to do with an athletic stunt, gravity, and pavement.
They're not there in the beginning, but when your story ends / Gonna last with you longer than your friends
anyhow, I liked the mission in mill city where i had to lift debris from a bunch of people and put out fires, more instanced "heroic" missions would work for me. keep the rewards reasonable so that they cant be abused(not that combat is generally that hard) but i like saving people from burning buildings. make them themed about different power concepts(healing, fight, super speed) and run with it.
He high?

Defeat X amount of Enemies
What's next on the Thread List Spinny?
This game absolutely need... Collect XYZ amount of Items? :rolleyes:
Collecting Twenty Bear Asses IS ALSO a hateful trope for Games and the SIN of MMOs
YOU LEAVE MY BEAR's ARSE ALONE!
It's not a threat, it's a promise.
And it's fairly obvious if you consider the content of the game.
My super cool CC build and how to use it.
I dont see any reason for them to make new missions... they shoudl rather polish the old stuff .. like the bad cutscenes and well...bring back old functions like "power replacements" , maybe even real crafting , social areas and justicar gear.... just sayin...
(( especially the power replacement abilty for lifetimers and gold members.. i mean im silver myself right now.. but still.. people have paid for this service and now its gone...))
They would have to fill a new zone with something, wouldn't they?
