From Friday 12th of May:

Mysterious rioters seen clearing out Perez Park

During the early hours on the morning, reports about large numbers of teenagers aged 14-16 came in from heroes scouting Perez park. "I dunno how many there were, maybe thirty, fourty, I dunno. But I do know one thing, they were snazzy dressers!" Said a hero known as Efranof who was caught in the crossfire between these mysterious teenagers and a large gang of Skulls.

So far, nobody has worked out where they came from or where they went, all we know is that hundreds of Skulls, Hellion and Circle of Thorns were sent to jail because of them. This mysterious gang of teens are wanted by the PPD for questioning. Do not approach then as we believe them to be armed and dangerous, if you believe that there is one within your current area, call the PPD or ask a hero to check it out.

Their appearence was, as a few of the villains they had put to jail said, tall wearing a black hood, no shirt and black baggy trousers. I repeat, do not approach if seen, instead call for the PPD or for a hero.




Experimental technology stolen from heroe's lab

At 3:37pm on the 12th of May 2006, whilst a hero worked on an experimental technology for future use of hospital to treat a supposedly untreatable disability, a group of villains attacked. The hero, named Commander Beet, was seriously injured but was still alive, unfortunatly the technology he had been working on was stolen and the lab destroyed.

Commander Beet said this when we asked him what had happened. "They came in large numbers, I couldn't stop them forever. For all heroes in the city, look out for robotic beings fully in blue with one eye, be cautious. If they attack do not hesitate to destroy them as they will destroy you first."

We then asked him what was stolen, he replied with "No comment." PPD and Longbow are now searching for the stolen technologies in Atlas Park, Kings Row and Skyway City.

More details on page 17.

We're all going to DIE!!!!!!!!!!

I've had an idea buzzing around in my head for a little while for a teen RP char, does that count?

Edit: *hits head on desk* I am so stupid.. I shall help you find it.

Just noticed. My tank has been kicked from the guild... Oh..

how did you come up with so much ideas?

[/ QUOTE ]

Possibly by sitting down and giving a lot of careful thought to way that the game could be developed, and then only posting the best ideas

[/ QUOTE ]

Actually, I post every single idea in my head, not just the best ones. Oh, and here's one aswell.

New Dominator primary: Death control;

Undead assist: Undead beings from beneath the earth grab on to a targetted foe, holding them in place, but the undead you summon can be defeated in battle; Recharge: short; Damage: minor

Bone spear: You make a giant bone erupt from the ground underneath a targetted foe, causing them to be thrown into the air and to land stunned; Recharge: Moderate; Damage: Moderate

Fallen comrade: You show the body of a fallen ally of your foe, causing those of the same faction to trmble in fear. You must be near the defeated body to be able to use this power; Recharge: slow

Rib cage: You summon giant rib cages to stop many foes in their tracks, but they are still able to attack; Recharge: slow; Damage: minor

Well sorry, but my mind has gone blank and I need to be up in the morning, I shall post the rest when I am alive.

My suggestion, for you:

Give up on CoH, it's obviously far to empty for you Put together a company and start building your own Superhero MMO from scratch with all these wonderful wacky things in

Much as I appreciate your enthusiasm, GC, I once again find myself having to point out the rules about 'bumping' threads - and now 'spamming'.

Please, don't do either.

[/ QUOTE ]

Thanks Bridger, was going to post about that myself but thought "Would that be spamming aswell..?" Anyway, I have more ideas.

I want to go back to my idea about "random happenings" that I had a long time ago. The basic idea is, random things would happen after a certain amount of time after completing something (finishing a TF, defeating a GM, receiving a badge ect.) just to spice up the game a bit more.

Each event would be short but fun, so that you will not be left with a timed mission with an AV at the end when you decided to go badge hunting at three in the morning because you cannot sleep. Instead, they would include things like;


Completing a TF:
The hero/other who gave you the TF would come over to you and thanks you for your help, but that they had forgotten something. They could either;

Ask you to receive a reward which they lost somewhere, so you would have to travel to different parts of the zone to find it (a glowie basically) but, they would have to be within 100 yards of where you are when they say "Hey, thanks for the help but.."

Ask you whether you actually did take them out, this would open a small mission where you would have to look around a small map for a boss/AV you defeated in the TF, sometimes they will still be concious, sometimes they will be lying on a bed. In order to complete the mission, defeat them (since they are weakened from the fight, they would be turned into minion level, so that minion damage, health, end..) or you would have to defeat any guards around them and click on their body (glowie.) completing the mission.

You could have to explain to them what happened, but to do this you will have to remember how the TF went. So they could ask you what happened when you went to take out old Slinky Brain or whatever ( ) and you would have to click on an option in the dialogue box which actually works along with the mission in the TF, so in this instance, you would click on "Oh he went down like a slinky on stairs, but he did bounce back a few times."

For completing these, you would get a third level inspiration, DO/SO, TFO (Taskforce Origin, more on this later..) or special salvage if you have access to a base.

Defeating a GM:

When you defear a GM, what happens? You get some experience, bit of inf/prestige, maybe a badge, but that's it... How about something actually happening about it instead of a guy walk past called Wendy saying "Wow, Generic hero 1028475230 defeated Lusca!" How about, faction face-off?

This idea is basically, most villain groups have an enemy group, what about by defeating a GM that has something to do with a villain group who has enemies other then heroes, you get a temp power? Call enemies? It could work by, say, you defeat Eochai, by doing this you get some Cabal come up to you and begin praising you, or some Tuatha de Dannon come up to you and begin to praise you? From here, you can do a small mission for them, then you get a temp power to call for help from that villain/hero (gotta think of CoV) group? They would last for five minutes, then they would be attackable, but they will not attack you or anybody else first. You can only use these three times every 15 minutes, but once they are summoned, the only way to get rid of them is to defeat them.. Fun

Badge(r)s:

When you get a badge for defeating a certain amount of enemies, wouldn't they be mad? If you get a badge for keeping other heroes alive, wouldn't villains still be mad? If you debuff villains till they hit single digit numbers, wouldn't they just be madder? Yes, they would. So, what about, every now and then when you get a badge, something happens depending on the badge? For example;

Debt: Debt badges, rewards for failure or pure heroic deeds. When you get one of these badges, how about the hospital teleporters might give up on you due to "overuse"? When you get the badge, the next time you are defeated, you do not get the "go to hospital" option, but, you are given a temp power instead. This temp power revives you, and when you are back on your feet, you are completely invulnerable, but you cannot effect people or be effected, nor can you use any powers (no sprint/siphon speed/teleport ect.) This effect would last for a minute, which is more then enough time to run to safety. This power would have a recharge time of three hours and only be able to use it ten times.

Other possible events could be, when you get a badge for defeating a certain type of enemy, you get a spawn of them come after you like an ambush. They would have to be -2 levels compared to the person who got the badge, so not to be overpowering.



Each one of these special rewards only have a 15% chance of happening, just to make them a bit more random. You can collect more then one of each temp power, with a maximum of three.


TFO's

No not UFO's, TFO's, I am not suggesting another Rikti invasion.. TFO's are, you guessed it, Task Force Origin. Alot of people are getting tired of doing TF's because they heard "Oh, it's the most boring one evah" or "Oh yeh you can see whats going to happen, it was so repetytive"

TFO's would be awarded for completing TF's. They would be different to other enhancements because 1) They are available for all levels, but will be awarded three levels above your current level on completion of the TF. 2) TFO's give you a choice of what they enhance, so when you put it into a power a window comes up with all the different types of enhancements the power can take, you click on the one you want it to be and it will be put into the power as that enhancement (a small "Are you sure?" window would appear though). They would enhance the power somewhere between a DO and SO, but this could be coupled with Random Happenings so that some of them give you the choice of the TFO enhancing more then one aspect of the power, say, 20% chance for two choices and 5% chance for three choices. You will only be awarded one of these at the end of a TF, but if the contact that gave you the TF comes up to you afterwards (See Random Happenings) then you could get two.


Those are my idea, what do you think?

New powerset for controllers/defenders, Scare Tactics

Scare Tactics: This powerset is based on using fear to control the enemy.

Touch of fear: A melee attack which causes your enemy to tremble in fear. Does not last as long as the dark melee version; Recharge: moderate

Fear sap: You drain the fear from an ally, giving them a resistance against fear, accuracy boost and +recharge; Recharge: moderate

Fearsom stare: A ranged version of touch of fear, fearsom stare will cause an enemy to tremble at fear. This power has a small chance to affect multiple enemies around the target; Recharge: long

Fearsom minion: You call for a minion which causes enemies to tremble in fear due to its scary appearance. This enemy will scare the targeted enemy and all other enemies around them untill it is either defeated, or the target has been defeated; recharge: very long

Roar: You scream out a fearsom yell, causing all enemies within melee range to run away from you or be left unable to do anything from being too scared; recharge: long

Cloak of fear: Just like the cloak of fear from dark armour.

Death image: You show a picture of your enemy dead from some horrific accident, causing them to be immensly scared. A more advances form of fear which does not allow the enemy to attack unless their health is below 20%; Recharge: Very long

Reaper: You show yourself as the grim reaper, causing a PBAoE and causes an AoE fear to the targeted enemy; Recharge: Very long

Fearsom minions: You call for 3-7 Fearsom Minions, each one taking on their own targets randomly. Each minion is the same as the minio earlier in the set, but they are dismissed after two minutes instead of after an enemy is defeated.

How's that?

More ideas.

Scaling - Advanced.

On the character creation screen, you can change the scales of the characters body. How about an advances option, so that you can scale things like, for example:

Left hand
Right hand
Left foot
Right foot
Lower left leg
Lower right leg
Upper left leg
Upper right leg
Lower left arm
Lower right arm
Upper left arm
Upper right arm
Left shoulder
Right shoulder.

I do belive that is all... For now..

Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday to you
You think like a scrapper
And you smell like one too.

Cogs, I shall get you, Tick-Tocks and Sockette. You shall fall to the might of Commander Beet and the paragon city police.

I shall see you there.

Hehehe, good song, nicely done

..wow..

That's very, nice, calming.. Wow, just wow..

Actually, nevermind, no slots left on union

General Ryno requestion to teach advanced fighting techniques or advanced robotics.

I play PvP because in a game like this, it is a challenge and not everybody can do it right. Plus, it's something to do when PvE missions end up getting repetitive due to the mob's doing actions that I am now used to due to playing for over 100 levels on combined characters, deleted and still going. PvP is basically a break from the normal game because it is a proper challenge compared to some PvE missions/street hunting.

I am going to have my medication now.

edit: And Gorgon, why does you name make me think of cheese?

Cool, at least thats one thing to cheer me up today.

Ignore the PM I sent you back, gotcha now

You wouldn't mind doing me one, please?

I've got a level 6 BS/SR scrapper on defiant, the accuracy is cripe, but the damage is the same as a blaster accept you have to get up close and personal to deal it. I am still not sure.

Do you do requests?

Those are incredible! Infact, I salute you!

I'm still laughing..

Very well done though, got the lyrics?

I shall remake my defiant pvp dominator! Fire/energy is the build, chives, you going down.. I hope.
