I'm thinking Craftable, Non-tradable Costume Piece Recipe.
And put in the "Fixed Price" bin at the Market. 2 Billion. -
Suggestion: Unlockable costume piece.

I would like to suggest that ambush AI be retooled a bit.
It's a serious immersion killer when an ambush pops up and relentlessly attacks a character despite the fact that all of that character's henchmen have done a significant amount of damage to the ambush.

Quote:So one powerset doesn't completely limit a character to a single origin?Originally Posted by Techbot Alpha
A average GI soldier using an M4 is 'Natural' Origin.
A part-cyborg super soldier wielding an M4 is 'Technology' Origin.
The gun will always be a piece of technology. It's down to the character using it.
Satisfied? Or do I have to fly down there and smack you all up alongside the head?
Using each others heads for smackage as preference?
Makes sense.
While many Bots MMs are Tech, this game's original Bots MM was a Mutant, wasn't he? http://wiki.cohtitan.com/wiki/Clockwork_King -

Yeah - putting a beard on a robot is just the same as putting a tall hat and tux on a robot - it's for cosmetic reasons only
Engineer Bob: "Oh shoot, we forgot to put in Feature #5447! We'll have to redesign the whole head to make it fit in there!"
Engineer Ted: "We don't have time! The Marketing guys set the release date for next week AND promised Feature 5447 in all the press releases. We can't redesign the internals of the head. Just make a hat and stuff it in there!"
Engineer Bob: "So, the parts needed for Feature 5575? Add a beard?" -
Like a new Prestige Sprint?
Sure. Just put me down for a "Flee" sprint too.

I'm going to have to talk to my Assault Bot about this.
*Calls in Assault Bot*
BBQ_Pork: I'd like the option to solo TFs.
A_Bot: But you really should team, it's a MMO. M is for Multi-player.
BBQ_Pork: True, but while teaming should be fun and rewarding, it should be optional.
A_Bot: TFs are optional. There is plenty of other content to get you to L50.
BBQ_Pork: I realize that, but I dislike having content or rewards locked-out and denied to me.
A_Bot: Then team if you want to do a TF.
BBQ_Pork: With my schedule? How selfish would I have to be to spend the time gathering a team only to say "Gee guys, we're going to do this TF, but only in chunks of time between 0400 and 0500 Pacific over the course of this week. BTW, I'll have my baby monitor on and *might* have to AFK, but she pretty much sleeps through the night, so it *shouldn't* be a problem. And of course, we'll skip days with server maintainence."?
A_Bot: Pretty selfish.
A_Bot: But what about risk and/or rewards? If you're going to run a TF solo like a story arc, shouldn't the merits reflect that?
BBQ_Pork: Fine.
A_Bot: But what about the badges? Should you still get the badges?
BBQ_Pork: Yes. If the AV (if any) is downgraded to an EB, then maybe require "No deaths" to earn the badge. I don't care.
A_Bot: But the name of the Accolade "Task Force Commander" implies leadership. Why should a soloist get an Accolade based on leading? Who is he going to lead, himself?
BBQ_Pork: The same way that a person can get something leadership-themed without having ever had the star? Spamming "TP plz" and AFK'ing by the door isn't leadership, but even the most worthless member of a team can get a badge, so long as the team finishes.
A_Bot: You should only be able to solo a Task Force AFTER you hit L50.
BBQ_Pork: Sounds kind of arbitrary, but that's fine with me. You do realize that as an exemplared L50, I could be noticably more powerful than a character who is naturally at that level, right?
A_Bot: But spawn size should be at the normal team minimum, regardless of the soloist's settings. Otherwise it's just a story arc.
BBQ_Pork: Fine, although you've already mentioned reducing the merit rewards to story arc size.
A_Bot: Well that's....totally different. TF's have badges.
BBQ_Pork: So do some story arcs. Yet I'm allowed to solo those. And solo them in reasonable chunks of whatever time slots I have available that week. And reduce the AVs to EB status. Heck, even set "no bosses".
A_Bot: You should have to face the EBs at AV status in a solo'ed TF.
BBQ_Pork: Why is that again? You've already reduced the rewards to story arc level and we've discussed having the badge withheld unless a "No deaths" criteria were met. I find AVs to be a waste of time as I grind thier health away slowly. Either I can't do it or it takes so long that it gets boring. Boring sucks.
A_Bot: Fine. "AV at full strength" OR "No Deaths" in order to get the badge.
BBQ_Pork: Fine. Whatever.
A_Bot: But if they're soloable, then there will be a lot of people not able to get on teams because soloists will not be teaming with them. What about...um, Defenders?
BBQ_Pork: If there's a "Lot of people", then they can team with each other. Problem solved. Also: Defenders? Have you seen what all-Defender teams can do? If there were a mess of Defenders unable to get onto a mixed-AT team and they teamed with each other, they could do just fine. Bad attempt, Assault Bot.
*whacks robot with rolled up newspaper*
A_Bot: Sorry.
A_Bot: But if you're not teaming, you're not being social. Isn't the social interaction a big part of a MMO?
BBQ_Pork: I'm monitoring the Help Channel and my favorite Global. I'm potentially chatting with far more than just 7 other players. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to see this Citadel guy and ask if he has any tasks for me. Alone. -
You sure that's 90%?
What's the sample size?
Average level? -
I always liked fighting "Rain-Purple-8-7-7". He isn't Freakshow, but the Agent Formerly Known As likes to call me out, so there ya go.

I smell a "drive-by rant".
If the OP makes a second post in this thread and gives me his global (either via PM or post, whatever.), I will ingame Email him 10 Million Inf.
Double that if he cares to have a rational discussion about the incorrect information that he bases his rant upon.
Offer expires Monday Morning at 0400 Pacific.
20Million and a L49 Luck of the Gambler: Defense (crafted enhancement, the first Set IO drop of the day) could have been yours!

So far I haven't heard anything.
Well, other than players requesting it occasionally. But nothing from the Devs yet. Hopefully soon. -

Quote:Instead of allowing more storage bins in SGs, I'd bump up the max volumne of each.Originally Posted by Satanic_Hamster
Quick/assisted respec. Something like, if you had Flares slotted with six pieces of Devestation at the start of the respec and you still have the power six slotted at the end of the respec, the enhancements would remain slotted. Button on each power to move slotted enhancements to the Unplaced bin. Same treatment for power trays.
- Customize colors (or better yet, just turn off) for power pools.
- Customize colors (or better yet, just turn off) for inherents (freaking sprint!)
- Customize colors (or better yet, just turn off) for melee sets like ss, ma, etc.
- Be able to auto drop tutorial contacts.
- Be able to auto complete grey arcs.
- Axe/mace and energy armor for scrappers.
- Auction options remain after you log (autocomplete setting, etc). And perm shut off of usefull salvage warningÂ…
- Add "date added" information to auction listings.
- Allow more storage bins in superbases.
- Auto completion of grey arcs.
- Auto dropping of tutorial contacts (AE, Crafting, etc)
- Add inspiration nurses to blue/red side hospitals like Petoria got.
- Place holders for all day job locations, even ones you haven't started yet.
- Alternate animations for mouth/eye based attacks. IE, so they're no longer coming from your face.
- Allow multiple self buff powers on auto (hasten + practiced brawler!)
- Give pc's ragdoll physics on death.
- Don't let Carnies phase while mezzed.
- Nemesis staff power set.
- Staff/pole arm power set (spear, halbred, naginata, etc)
- Allowed Carnie Fencer's sword to be unlocked for db/broadsword.
- Harlequin Fencer's sword for dual blade / broadsword.
- Back or waist quiver for bow users.
- Tone down paragon protector's mog.
- DE emittor droppers; make it interuptable, even if it's a short duration. No more kb'ed mezzed guys dropping cairns.
- Fix bug in the way player notes are saved; if you enter player notes on a character and then that character is deleted, the notes will remain/transfer to any new person who makes a character with that name.
- Put an auction house in every zone in Petoria.
- Add AE to Pocket D.
- Untaken exploration badges / history plaques appear on your map when you're "close" to them. That, or blink/glow visually.
- Rename all DO and SO's. Seriously. No one cares that tech/sci taunts are called photonic capacitor. It wasn't cute when the game came out and it's not cute now. It only makes it harder to find the DO/SO that you want to buy and pisses off the player.
- Eliminate exploration/history plaque requirements from accolades.
- Remove pvp zone requirements from villain accolades.
- Remove ghost trapping requirement from villain accolades.
- Revise x-mas present inspirations; since you can "cheat" to find out what they do not via right click, let it so you can easily tell them apart visually.
- Contact: Percey Winkler. Make his annoying Origins arc chain missions.
Anyway.....Agreed to these ideas in particular and the bolded ones in double particular. -
I could quote a few lines, but the thing is that this episode, it's dialog kept my interest on characters that are not my favorites in the show.
Well done, gentlemen. The writers really did a great job on this one.

Quote:Check Here: http://wiki.cohtitan.com/wiki/Invent...hancement_SetsOriginally Posted by Rawda
Hi all, does anyone have a guide/information on IO sets? I know nothing about them and unsure where to look.
I have a lvl 50 Fire/Fire Blaster where abouts can I buy Enhancements IO slots which add Set Bonuses etc?
Thanks!
(From the wiki in my sig.)
Also:
Check the Blaster AT section for guys who will be happy to look at your build and give you feedback.
Check the Guides section and search for Guides for Fire Blasters, preferably ones updated since issue 9 or so. They should mention IO slotting.
Also, the Guides section should have some guides for general info on IOs. -
Wondering about slotting on my 43-ish Bots/FF/Mace.
(Sorry, but no Mids on my Comp...seems to refuse to download it. Powers/slotting are from memory)
Battle Drones: 6x Soveriegn Right
1st Upgrade: 2 EndRed
Protector Bots: 5x Blood Mandate, 1 Common Defence.
Assault Bot: 6 Blood Mandate
2nd Upgrade: 2 EndRed
Force Bolt: 4x Kinetic Crash, 1 Explosive Strike: Chance For Smashing (Yes, I like to spam Force Bolt, it's big funz and very useful.)
Deflection Shield: 6x Red Fortune
Insulation Shield: 6xRed Fortune
Detention Field: 1 Acc, 2 Recharge (Pets, as opposed to teammates, CAN be told to choose other targets)
Dispersion Bubble: 6x Red Fortune
Force Bubble: 2 EndRed
Assault: 1 EndRed
Tactics: 1 End/ToHit
Manuevers: 4x Red Fortune
Swift/Health/Stamina: 1 Common Each
Scorpion Shield: 4x Red Fortune.
(Considering taking the Web Envelope power and putting Enfeebled Operations or Trap of the Hunter in it)
Aid Other: 5x Harmonized Healing, 1 InteruptReduction Common.
Hover, Fly: 1 Slot Each, intent to take Group Fly, just for looks.
Non-pet attacks are usually: Force bolt, Nem Staff and a random temp power, Detention Field occasionally.
Whatcha think about the build? In particular, I'm not too sure if that's what I want to do with the Protector Bots slotting. Putting another Blood Mandate would give me a Def Bonus, but reduce thier granted Defence (from thier bubbling ability) to myself and all my Bots, so I don't really want to do that.
Also: the Patron Attacks: Mace Beam Volley worth taking, damage-wise? -
Quote:1) If you were teamed (which I doubt), a teammate could have used Recall Friend or the similar Vet Power, unless you had it set to require prompts for permission. <Note: Can't do it to a character that is logged out, but maybe during the count-down timer?>Originally Posted by Red_Raccoon
The other day I was playing my level 12 corrupter in Cap Au Diable. I had just picked up a mission from Dr Shelly Percy, but needed to leave for a bit to do some errands. Before logging off, I parked my character right outside the mission door, which was a cave entrance on the south-east corner of the map, just past the Arachnos airfield. A few hours later I logged back in and found my charcater in the lobby of one of the buildings in Aeon City near the AE buidling. This was nowhere near the location where I logged out, nor had I even recently passed close to that area.
This has never happened to me before. Is this a known glitch that just happens sometimes?
2) (Very Unlikely) Player had a "Confuse" effect from a critter in a Door Mission or a Foe from Bloody Bay or an outdoor ambush, then used "TP Foe" on you, repeatedly, as it doesn't have *that* long of a range.
Also: I don't think a Confuse would hold after zoning out of a PvP Zone anymore (Thought that was fixed...some PvPers were Confusing each other, then porting to a PvE zone and killing other players.)
<Note: Can't do it to a character that is logged out, but maybe during the count-down timer?>
3) Most Likely: Odd Glitch. Never seen that before, but....stuff happens.
