  • I haven't been back to CO for some time ... I'm a lifer from the very beginning, so I pop in every now and again to see if there's anything new ... and as usual, it seems the deck chairs are getting rearranged while the ship continues to slowly take on water. I hope that this return of the old primary dev does something,…
  • Now, if this is anything like the create-a-villain contest, expect to see the runner-up costumes right away and the actual winner available for purchase in a few years :biggrin:
  • Frankly, I think a new travel power would be appropriate around the game's 15th level or so, given that's about when you go from city life to (potentially) the Canadian or Desert zones. But then again, I also think that it's frustrating that Swinging and Acrobatics are two separate powers and that one is not an advantage…
  • /signed I can finally have just ONE armored heroine with multiple weapon / concept loadouts and not have to level each damn one and worry about where I left them all ^_^ Not to mention I could build a proper transcendent martial artist, weapons master, sorceress ...
  • I agree with the OP about everything; granted I hate vehicles and everything that they spawned, but since we're stuck with them, they might as well bring them in line with the "super customization" concept and provide some simple customization for them. Burst Idea: Some so-and-so is wanting to take over, say, Steelhead or…
  • I could live with PA not locking out other powers, just turning it around. Either way, I'd like to get a flamethrower on one of my power armors, bonus points if I can make it come out of my arm rather than out of my head (Flame Breath.)
  • /signed. Rocket Punches
  • Underwhelming; So lots of endgame stuffs with private queues to ensure farmers get what they need and PUGs get wiped and tons of complaints. How about instead of 10-man alerts, we have some more actual mission content, stuff that, y'know LEADS to stuff (missions, rewards, etc. not raids) rather than just sit in a queue…
  • While I agree that summoning objects would be too unbelievable, surely a generic ball o' ground would be OK ... maybe add a slight time penalty to rip it free from whatever you're standing on, that sort of thing?
  • See, now this is fascinating ... it would be interesting to arrive as a power-deprived prisoner (perhaps as a result of letting your Nemesis mess with the Empyrean Tech) and have to fight your way free, rallying the Mole Men to throw off their oppressors etc. etc. You could also have a built-in Respec reward for some sort…
  • I'd rather not have tiered rep; I'm sick of grinding Exalted rep. That being said, it'd be nice to have group-specific items (and no, I don't mean that you only get, say, Demon pieces through UNTIL, I mean actual costumes and skins people of the organizations wear,) limited-time items, and similar reasons to get…
  • That's overall a pretty cool set of ideas, though I'm not sure I like them, personally. I think starting the tutorial in either MC or VB would be a good idea, but I think in MC it's a simulation of the Qularr (since there's no Star Wars medal scene, it's bupkis anyway) and maybe in VB they do a "blackout" where criminals…
  • You know, it's been so long since I did Lemuria I didn't remember the breathing devices; I went through all the trouble of building an EVA style armored suit for my armored hero ... and she ends up doing the breast stroke ... *sighs* A social instance WOULD be nice in Lemuria, maybe with a force-field wall to allow you to…
  • Well it should lead to the Gemini gang's prominence I imagine, since it can be inferred that without Gemini running things, the other gangs proceed apace. I like the idea of beating up the posergang, though ... just the thing for an urban hero ... and frankly it'd be nice to see Black Mask, Dr. Ka, and Redsnake y'know,…
  • TBH, I'm glad they're changing formats to make it more necessary / viable to run missions for XP ... that is where the 'meat' of the game is, after all. But they should have let it be until they had a better leveling multipath, imo. Also, I think the idea of having Vibora start at a lower level is a great idea, if for no…
  • Man, I'd love a new low-level path to follow. Ideally, if they can't / won't create a new zone, I would love if they would add some missions and separate the quest chains. Defender (Purple Gang / VIPER or ARGENT) Quest chain that sets player heroes against some low-level tech thieves that turn out to be Kevin Poe and his…
  • Aside from the fact that I don't PVP and would get no benefit from this zone, I want to ask you the following questions, just to get a better definition on the idea. 1) 1 Mod / 10m for all SG members in a zone, providing their SG holds the node? What level of Mod? Is the Mod randomized? What level is the Mod? What types of…
  • Please no. I want a new zone, but the last thing I want are sewers. A bunch of twisty, smelly passages likely filled with awful critters and ... ugh. No.
  • Heck, new costume pieces (Police, Agent, Military / MIB) would fit, as would stances and emotes ... another cool thing to buy might be passes to new hangouts around town, or appropriate temporary powers (nightstick, revolver / SMG, Grenade Launcher / Sonic Grenades / Airstrike) I would love to see something done with…
  • That would also be awesome if they could ever allow you to do Fire Breath from an arm slot on PA powers.
  • Considering one of my first Nemeses was a version of this guy: I'm totally behind more hairy bodies.
  • I'll definitely sign for any and all additional weapon skins and costumes, including making Heavy and normal weapons useable by each other. In addition, I'd like some of the following: *More options for Full Helmet accessories *Mouthless / featureless heads *More box-y giant robot style shoulders, bracers, chest-pieces,…
  • really nice display of mainly one-handed attacks; this might be do-able! Signed
  • /signed as long as the costumes are not gender-locked or at least equivalents are available on both. There should be nothing preventing this. More costume options are ALWAYS a boon.
  • I would love a version of the telepathy bubble-heal, in a water powerset which acted as a debuff / DoT for enemies and a shield / HoT for allies
  • Support for any fixing and additions to the costumes and weapons, as long as they're not boxed.
  • I would love it if the animation for this would be that the foe stands there with his arms out holding the walls / pillars back. Also 0-point advantage for it being a giant rock hand, pls!
  • All travel powers desperately need a speed increase; characters who define themselves by their speed are woefully left out when it comes to vehicles.
  • Part of the problem with Fighting Claws is that they lost their identity; When single blade became MA King of Bleeds and dual became MA King of AoE and Supernatural got loaded-to-the-eyeballs with poisons, FC looks like the smaller sibling of all of these. I agree FC needs a pass, but FC also needs an identity, and I don't…
  • /signed Any emotes would help, but I especially would like 'stance' emotes so maybe my character can crouch without having to take Beast stance, look stoic and heroic ... heck, I'd love it if we could even get better sitting emotes (and seriously, we can dump "heroic_sit" I see just about zero reason for that unless you…
  • I have some questions about the powers: 1) Aside my feeling that "Supernatural Technology" is outright minmaxing, does this mean, then that if I take a power from the Warden set, it counts as a power both in Technology and Supernatural when I'm looking for higher-tier powers? In other words, I take a Tech power and two…
  • THese ideas are pretty awesome; For SG bases, maybe we should also have a space station and/or a basic tech command center. I'd love to flesh some of this stuff out, it sounds like some great basics here!
    in CO Ideas! Comment by dynamech April 2013
  • How long has it been since the last powers pass and Whiteout? I think we're seeing how they react to that "minimum a year" now. As far as the event being broken / being taken down goes, wouldn't it behoove the CO team to just leave this up until everything is fixed and THEN start counting the clock down to when it's taken…
  • Maybe they should create alternate animations for the attacks already in the game, associate a kick with every punch and vice-versa and let you pick and choose per attack?
  • This would also be awesome with HW Brimstone attack, to pound the earth and have it make the fissure (since you're hitting with the hilt of the weapon, would look pretty OK)
  • Joke: Please start putting meaningful content in boxes, such as all new costume pieces, emotes, powersets, and even adventure packs. The Zen and Questionite stores each have too many things in them, and the Drifter with his salvage? Pfft. I'd rather have random chance decide what I'm spending money on. Real: Add an option…
  • I really hate PvP content ... But I think this idea has some merit, just needs a lot of polish and definition. The idea of god-level aliens using Earth's heroes as pawns has a long pedigree in comics (Contest of Champions! Crisis in the 30th Century!) but where those have an overarching story line to keep things in line,…
  • It's hilarious how you edited out the part where he said Which is exactly why this is a good idea. Self-rez devices are common as copper, that's true. But they DO have a cooldown, and aren't always the best solution. The same goes for rez powers. Being able to help a teammate up is thematically appropriate for the genre.…
  • This sums up my feelings. It's nice to hear about content not being balanced toward vehicles, but rather toward characters. Please give us more character-focused additions, stories, and improvements. Thank you for sharing this with us :smile:
  • So ... I'm happy we're getting ground vehicles, really, I am. But ... there are about a thousand more things to work on rather than vehicles, from the still-ancient Nemesis system and the buggy nature of certain powersets, to the lack of modernization with Telepathy, to endless requests for updating the costume creator -…
  • This is excellent! Moving the Crises to 15 killed variety in leveling, and moving them back to post-tutorial would be fantastic. We shouldn't be looking to skip levels, we should be looking to add variety to the leveling so we don't have to whip on Purples with every single alt.
  • Fair enough, I did misunderstand the concept of Skull Tech, and I see your point to that. It would be nice to fight the foes I want to fight, and have them be more or less my equivalent, no matter my level, but that also seems to bring up a problem. Namely, if I had a mission in, say, West Side (like a nemcon mission) and…
  • Very true, IF the alert is identified as PVP. The difference being that I can think of zero occasions when a PvE mob has complained about a power working as intended, no matter what advantage it gives a player. I can't say the same about powers after contact with PvP. It's a different kind of whine that typically hurts the…
  • Also, this. A daily PVP grind is OK if it's not restrictive, but if it becomes part of the Smashes / Bursts / Grabs / APB rotation, it'll just lead to hard feelings with people who don't want to PVP. This begs the question of "Do you have to win the PVP to get credit?" as you would with the regular Smashes / Grabs /…
  • As much as I would love to be able to select a power and *poof* it for something else, someone smarter said it a lot better than me ... They're not fine they're a little unwieldy, but they work fine because then even if ... You're still losing all those powers if you want to change and don't know what you want (yet.) The…
  • This would be fantastic, fitting for the character, and it would keep the mission fresh. The best thing is that it wouldn't necessarily need to be specifically stylish because she's such a self-centered villain that it only has to be stylish in her own mind. I'd love to see her take on a weird retro outfit "It's ionic,…
  • I tend to agree; We need a LOT more costumes and a lot more options, and can pretty much /sign every part of the OP dealing with costumes. I would also love to see more knife-type weapons (even if oversized) for Dual blades (at least); While the length is (sort-of) easily modifiable by changing the character's hand sizes,…
  • This would exactly be the effect once some players found out they'd been bait-and-switched into PVP, so while you would get some initial bites, the ultimate end result would be the same, except for hungry PVPers and a LOT more whining about nerfing this or that power once they've experienced it being used against them…
  • Having open missions spawn content and level with players sounds awesome. It'd be nice having a few sort-of timed missions (defensive perimeter around the police station, all heroes respond!) kind of thing. You could even key it to maybe send a pop-up alert to heroes of a specific level in the zone. (This is Defender! Get…
  • One of the reasons I suggest something like "unaffiliated" is for powers like "Sonic," that everyone seems to want, but would have relatively limited use and/or use that would closely mimic already existing powers. The most common use of a "Sonic" power in most Superheroic fiction is a mouth-based blast that usually…
