I agree with Nepht, with something to add: With moderately-priced "Power Recolor" tokens on the Z-Store, there should be a more expensive (At least 800 Zen) unlock for it to be account-wide. Pay once to unlock it as a silver, or subscribe to get it account-wide along with the older (And still very good) costume packs.…

I wonder if it's possible to add some of the NPC Costume Parts into the game. The Teleiocite parts, Destroyer's Armor, VIPER-buckle chestplate and kneepads, Ironclad's costume, and others. And, also, as stated before: All those old, legacy/Pre-On Alert weapons skins and crafted/dropped pieces
-
I'm hoping it's the contrary. Something like this could probably encourage more subscribers. I'm certainly enjoying leveling a new freeform, myself. :D
-
I'd settle for that as a Canada-based Social Instance, like Caprice or Minefield is to MC and VB. The Desert has a few, Lag-muria has the submarine which counts, (sort of), and I think MI has one too.
-
Hideouts were mostly the "Pet Project" of a developer named Tumerboy, he was transferred to STO a few years back to help design ship bridge interiors and the like. I don't really think Cryptic North is too familiar with what TB was planning or working on for any new hideouts, just yet. I'd like to be pleasantly surprised,…
-
Is it possible that Tumerboy will ever be transferred back from STO? I'd really not mind new types of hideouts, especially the rumored plans that he'd had in mind for Supergroup Bases.
-
Most of us are cynical. We haven't really had much new content in the past two years, the most was an hour or two's worth of Mechanontent a few months ago. Was a neat little bit of missioning after years of GMing a few Mechanon-centric plots in PnP, and discovering those in-game lore glowies about the character, but I felt…

I'd say it's because player-made monetization focuses more on the entertainment aspects of a game, and how it can be expanded to appeal to a mass audience of players at once. Dev-focused monetization focuses more on money-making aspects because at the end of the day, no matter what personal attachments they have to a game,…

Earth-Guard is, at this time, currently looking for people who can assist in the planning and moderation stages of events and get-togethers. Any help would be incredibly appreciated. Like before, send me a message in-game or through either the linked forums, or through CO's or CORP's.
-
This. So long as we're getting better quality output for this proposed higher financial input, I'm more than okay with these changes, if not distinctly surprised.
-
I appreciate the fact that you guys in the Dev Zone are recognizing the financial successes of costumes, given that a lot of people play CO for it's character customization, but do a lot of these sets really have to be worth $8-10? Especially for the people that don't decide to farm for Questonite or buy Zen directly, or…
-
That's what makes me laugh a bit at these spammers not-so-stellar attempts to scam. If you're going to use a bot and spam messages, at least get an understanding of the game's economy!
-
Would be nice if the devs, at least, informed us that they know of this issue and are working on it. :c
-
I'm usually online from about noon to midnight, Eastern Standard Time.
-
Yep. Same problems, unable to authenticate. Could just be that so many people are logged into CO, STO, and NWO all at once. And, also, I don't run CO thru Steam or ARC, I'm still getting the same message when I run it on either, and by itself.
-
I'm with Finn and the others here. It's just two 'new' powers, one from that older Destroid Commander become. Rocket Fist and AOTM are nice additions, but I'd really want more new powers specific to the Automaton to justify spending time and resources on leveling. Make a new passive, a new buff, a new kind of block, even,…
-
You're precisely right, not only in the fact that you have a right to voice any grievances or opinions as you want to. CO's playerbase has done enough with it's self-entitled whining and unabashed egotism that's really made the game unbearable to a lot of veteran players like myself. Heck, it's why the Devs stopped doing…
-
I thought Galactic Champions and Star Hero were ambiguously a part of the timeline as a 'what-if' future? I wonder what/how Cryptic/The Hero System writers will regard events once we actually hit 2020 in real-world time, if CO's still around by then.
-
Ah, sweet. You guys finally fixed that Nemesis minion bug! Q-Boxes are fixed for Nemesis and Shadow Destroyer drops too! Great work guys. Sure, this patch only has a couple of fixes, but it's the little things that help. By the way, the Pick Up And Throw feature's broken again, and there's still a ton of bugs to the…
-
I don't really think there's too many currencies at once in CO per-se, I just find that some, like the Recog, end up being useless after a certain point. If I've already bought all of the Travel Powers and costumes and such from the vendors, do I really need to keep using any more? No. So it all keeps adding up. Frankly, I…
-
I like this. This could work. Three questions, though. What created the robots? Who's represented by this Avatar? Would questions one and two be followed up in a sequel rampage or event?
-
Maybe there can be a story line that offers a morality quandary, where you have to chose between two enemy NPC groups that are equal in power to an area, like when you had to make a choice during the VBC. Maybe VIPER and Argent could engage in a war to steal each-other's secrets, or Mechanon or Destroyer start up a…
-
Grow powers? Nahh. We need something futuristic and powerful and really scary. Something cybernetic, with the capability of inhabiting bigger, badder, stronger bodies. Know what we need, for real? Crazy idea, work with me here: MECHANON.
-
I was legit sad when they killed off Statesman. He was a pretty cool character. Would have been nice to see a decent successor to the role, instead of some nobody crook getting his powers. Heck, even Tyrant admitting his mistakes and changing his identity when he arrived at Paragonian-Earth would have been mildly more…
-
What I don't get is, why Cryptic has all these advertisements and ad banners and such for STO, and NWO, but never any for Champions. I mean, sure, STO and NWO are both highly-recognized properties in their genre, they deserve the advertising just as well. But why not Champions? How can the devs expect a game to do well if…
-
Uhm, not to criticize the guy who made the characters, but who was in charge of picking through entries for said contest? I mean, seriously, the fact that the player (presumably) lazily threw two characters together doesn't automatically make them a shoo-in for winning. Something's always felt fishy about this contest.…
-
Really, though, I can't fault Cryptic too much for creating ATs for free to play people. There's variety in character creation, even with the limits of a more restrictive power-set, and, heck, all of them aren't too terrible. (The F2P ones mind you. *Glares at The Savage*) Behemoth is great, Marksman is great, Soldier is…
-
/signed. This would be awesome if made possible. It'd be a good mini-powerset that focused more on Tanking, rather than DPS. Heck, add in Slashing damage for things like Shield Throws or chops. Might even be nice for a build balance for Single Blade, MA, or Ranged Munitions. PA would also be nice too. Heck, we already have…
-
That costume set looks fantastic! Finally, years after they mentioned it being in the works! Bike, though? Eh. 'Nother crummy gimmick. Needs something, like, I dunno... A WAY TO RE-COLOR IT. CRIPES.
-
Considering that it's implied that the author of this article seems to play the game on a regular basis, I'd assume that this would be the case. And I agree, this stuff is kind of 'meh.' Then again, this stuff might just be what Old Cryptic (Cryptic South?) was working on before North took over, and they're just getting…
-
I agree. Heck, we've had a few weeks of server restarts, just -ONE- little bugfix or grammar fix or costume part addition or change would be a world's worth of difference, all things considered. Heck, even fixing a Nemesis System bug would be fantastic. It's a new year for Champions, with a new North team. Stuff should be…
-
Actually, I'd heard the Scarlet Shield tights set was never supposed to be put in the PTS or Live tailors, it was added in on accident, IIRC. In any case, I hope they bring the character, or any 'legacy' character into the game as a prominent NPC. Black Mask was/is neat. :) We need more local, Westside heroes instead of…
-
To many, this mysterious figure is a local legend, one used to teach a lesson shared by those who believe in it, even today: Even in death, honor is eternal. Such was the case of Kashiwagi. He was one of the better ninja of his day, who served a local, rural daimyo. He conducted many assassinations and guard duties for his…
-
Well, we've had bird-themed bikes and jets.... Why not a flying horse hoverbike? Horse-head on the front with a gun cannon in it's mouth! (With a lance-launcher gun with animations borrowed from TK Lance)
-
Hmm, I have a suggestion. Maybe if there was a way to re-integrate the old crafting system's costume parts, action figures, and Power Replace items into a Perk Points store, it would encourage points being spent?
-
Any Lemurian Escort mission, save for the Secret Agent one. Seriously, it's hard enough trying to keep yourself alive with weird aggro mechanics triggering half the map's mobs, weird swimming controls, no ranged powers on a melee build... Et cet.
-
Is it bad that I thought of this, suddenly? I can just imagine a character like that catching some major hang-time. :3
-
I don't think this thread belongs in this category, it should go under the SG banner. Also, I don't think there are any official 40k groups, but there might be some that have a similar theme, or keep homage. It's not really appropriate to make official characters from another IP, due to copyrights.
-
110% agreement there. I don't alert, because of how crappy randomized/losing teams are. I don't mission because all we have is the same linear progression of missions. Seriously, even adding in a few mini-zones like Queen City, would be nice. Maybe something with Argent or VIPER, in the lower parts of MC, or maybe a little…
-
You guys are fixing the Gravitar alert? Awesome! Seriously, if I had a Zen for every time I'd get locked out of the battle because someone jumped the gun and decided to attack Gravi before everyone else, while I was stuck in the Map Moving loading screen. T_T
-
I'd say that, or remodel it into a SG base template. Slap on a hallway and some bunker/training/meeting/techy lab rooms, make the entire Carrier customization-friendly, maybe slap on a few training drones for flying vehicles and heroes, too... And, of course, it has mail/banking/tailor hubs too. Also, it could have a few…
-
I like this idea. More weapons are good, especially in a game that's been feeling a bit bland with new costume parts/sets lately. If it's alright to add to your idea, we should have a couple more nonlethal melee items, kinda like the Resistance Nightstick Things like tonfas or wooden swords would work nicely, I'd imagine.…
-
/signed. Goes without saying. And if separating costume part from item is impossible, then why not add the Power Replace gear to a recognition, salvage or Questionite store? At least there, they can be accessible.
-
Another thing to add: If people would like to add more than one character to the group, that's fine. One or two alts can be accepted into the group, just so long as they fit with the previous rules.
-
There's Sherrera's Bar in Westside, it's more seedy and small (Zone theme-wise) than CC, but still fairly nice. There's the Minefield, a gothic/techno bar, and the Bayou Queen, a Riverboat Casino and fancy restaraunt that's featured in the GRAB The Money and Run! Alert. Both are in Vibora Bay. Recently, after on Alert, the…
-
This, this, this, one-thousand times this. Well said, man.
-
Hey, bro. I'll have you know that Orc Farts are a rare and treasured commodity around these parts... Or something... ... ... Ah well, at least this downtime keeps me away from the nonsense RP in Caprice.

That doesn't really seem all that specific. My guess is, they just reused the ship model to make things easier.
