"I think the saner and more intelligent thing to do is go somewhere vacant and figure out what your limits are."


The perfect example of this is the idea of being able to fly. Now in movies and comics, most just take off into the sky without a care, but in reality how would you know if that power simply wouldn't just turn off while your a couple of hundred or even thousand feet in the air. I think most would go the Greatest American Hero route and keep the flying low until they were sure it was safe.

I would like to see the cool down timer removed between costume changes.


That is all.

You mean our indestructible, emotionless, super citizens? Save them??? Who dies more often them or me? Hell, they should save me!

I love this thread!!!


My motto is this. The more powerful you become, the less interaction with humanity you should have.

The reason for this is that you still have the same frail human sensibilities that are effected by those around you. Your body may have become superhuman, but your mind has not. The perfect example of this done right is Dr. Manhattan, who evolved beyond petty human conflicts and eventually realized that he would always be tempted to interfere in the humanity if he stayed. Wall crawling, superspeed, even super strength are not much more than parlor tricks that still have limited uses, but become something god-like and it's a whole new ball game. Even self-imposed moral rationalities such as "Do no harm" or "Protect the innocent" will eventually have no meaning if they don't come with meaningful consequences to someone like you. With no evolved mental or emotional state, you will fall prey to your own human weaknesses and eventually become the villain.

I think they need to loose Vampirii, Warwolves, and drones to make them more distinct from the 5th. I think go more in the direction of the Galaxy troops in their looks and take the stance of the corporeal military arm of the Nictus on Earth.

I don't mind the Sappers per say, but they seem to be tougher than normal minions.

The above, from GTA, is what I am taking about. Lots of variety and distinction, but no one looks particularly extraordinary.

Since Noble Savage is out trying to get feed back on refreshing the look of the game on many different levels, I think one important thing has been overlooked and that is the myriad of Non-Powered Citizens that litter the streets and scramble around in missions. I understand that NPCs represent a contrast between being normal and being super, but they also represent the motivation for what we do as heroes and even villains. Real children, people in wheelchairs, elderly people in walkers, joggers, Moms pushing strollers, or cough *fat people* cough. I am sure there are examples that are more attractive and varying, without making us look any less super.

The thing with using the randomness of propel with hurl is the randon things that need to be thrown, need to have different animations. This works in propel because you never touch the objects and, like you mentioned in hurl, no matter where you are, you are still throwing the same chunk of concrete. This leaves you in the same animation quagmire. My idea is similar to the "change clips" power, but the change of animation and effects aren't triggered by clicking the power (as seen in the original version of the power), but by clicking a specific object. Just like everyone sees the toxic bullets, everyone sees the Buick. As the Devs add more objects, they would be adding more options to the overall power.

Ok a couple of points here. First, when I kick up leaves or garbage with a storm power, does everyone see those objects? If so, then they are being synced to everyone. Secondly, why can't the power be triggered by clicking the object, activating the "launch car" power or "launch truck" power that is hard-coded like energy blast that everyone sees as a specific a specific animation aimed at a specific target? At the end of the attack, an object is spawned like destroying a parked car in a mayhem mission. The power becomes several powers based on the object selected, but we see it as just pick up and throw stuff. I don't presume to know anything mors about coding than what I have heard here on the boards in the past, so if I am missing something, I really want to know.

I wish there was a way to do a demo of what it would look like in this game. Using that other game as an example is really not very comparable.

I think Marvel has a hit on it's hands. I think it's in the hands of advertising now. Also, if we could get this expanded to more of the universe, get episodes looking at various other Marvel characters, that would be great.

I see Hamidon being the source of the coming storm. If he becomes an trans-dimensional entity, his reach could become infinite.

This shiny green car begs to be smashed in the face of the nearest Freakshow!



If it ever happens, I had some ideas as to how to make it something both heroes and villains can do. It has been suggested that weaponizing objects would be something like a pool power, where more slots allow you to lift and throw larger objects with more accuracy. I like this idea, but it seems we are becoming pool-saturated. To clear up the targeting clutter, I suggest that these objects will only show a reticle when in close melee range. Certain object (cars, trucks) also have a good chance to explode with secondary fire damage added, but these object would have a longer interruptible animation to compensate.

Looking at the picture above, I like the idea of not having the object become transparent when lifted, especially since we have very good camera perspectives. As long as the target reticle is visible from every angle, the object could remain solid. On the subject of vehicles, I think parked vehicles are fair game to both sides, but vehicles in motion would require heroes to allow NPCs to exit them before they could be used, where as villains could just toss them without regard. A small bonus to heroes could be given to heroes that roll chance to catch a thrown vehicle, saving the NPCs inside.

This idea has been tossed around (pun intended) for years and I know it will never happen in the open world, but new instanced-mission maps (tip missions particularly) could be created as a start and weaponizable objects could be added to current area maps without having to radically change the environments. I still hold out hope that someday this will see the light-of-day, but until then, I will keep looking at all those shiny cars begging to be thrown.

With fitness being inherent, I how that swift and hurdle get a bi of a boost to make the a little more desirable compared to health and stamina. Now that we don't HAVE to have the prerequisites, it would be a shame to see them tossed aside.

Definately psy. Reminds me of when a possesed Charles Xavier totally owned Gladiator, one of Marvels Superman-like characters.

The only fix KB needs is Rag-dolling player characters.
