You hardly have to, I think we've all seen it.
When I make a female character, I usually turn the chest slider all the way down. As an experiment one day, I made a "trashy" remake of one of my female characters and took her into Pocket D. The bio was lamer (two dimensional would be a compliment), and the costume was a simpler version of the origional's. But the chest was bigger, and shown off more.
People that wouldn't talk to the origional were suddenly coming up and starting conversations with the knock-off. After a few runs I deleted her, but the experiment proved enlightening. And depressing. -
Even if they just turned them into copies of Meg Mason, I would love to see them get a makeover. They would become the hazard zone version of the radio. Totally optional, but something different then the arcs we've all done over and over. Adding an unlockable mini-TF/trial after a number of missions (like the safeguards) would make them even better.

They have to do something while waiting for a hero to drop by.

You have some interesting ideas.
Quote:I like this idea. I got the feeling that the RWZ was one such idea, but they wanted to include more people.Originally Posted by TheJazMan
Well, something for the level 50s to do? Here are a few ideas.
1) How about, at 50, supers get enlisted into a new service where they deal with high end threats/missions etc. Being a member of this squad allows you access to lvl 50 only arcs. Each arc would involve a new signature super (not another version of the current ones). All new signature supers that we have to deal with. These arcs could slowly be added by the DEVS and perhaps DEVS could include arcs from AE in here and make them canon (they were mentioning this before). Oh, these should include all new maps
This could be fun, but I fear that it could end up like so many of the GMs. After awhile people just don't care anymore.Quote:Originally Posted by TheJazMan
Another good way to intro new signature supers would be to have each one run through P.I. or Grandville - using the same element as the rikti invasion. However, it would be just one AV or Hero (suped up a bit in the open environment maybe) to deal with. These open world 'invasions' would only happen to intro the new super and could reward a badge. Once that person has been intro.ed then maybe move to a different one. I figure doing this 'invasion' style intro is easier than a new arc.
I would like to see new missions for all levels, not just 50sQuote:Originally Posted by TheJazMan
2) Since we have a ton of repetitive content, please make all new content a bit more interesting and not so intentionally time consuming. We have a ton to do so any future material needs to be new.
The Nemesis system on CO is one of the things I hated about that game. I wouldn't care if they added it here as long as it's optional.Quote:Originally Posted by TheJazMan
3) Our own Nemesis system ('borrowed' from Champions, to a degree). Have a zone, or front, that is not as well gaurded and where only 40+ can travel to. That zone should only be occupied by some new minions and AVs/Heroes created by the players. Every time we hit 40, we have the option of making our arch-enemy. This enemy can exist continuously in this unprotected/open zone. Extra rewards for going in and dealing with him/her/it! Perhaps, if your toon reaches level 50 then this arch-enemy gets powerful enough to hit the regular environment and it would be an open mission - to beat the random enemy in the zone. It would beat the constant zombies and rikti invasions - I like both of these but in moderation. Between the new area/zone and having your enemy 'invading', each of us may see our counterpart every now and then!
Also, perhaps the DEVS would allow us to create a Giant Monster in addition to our arch-enemy. One GM per account when any toon dings 50 - like an unlock. The GM could be in the new area and outdoor environments. This GM would also plague heroes, vills and Praetoria zones (outdoor).
There are so many temp weapon powers that something like this would be easy to add. I'd just leave it as a temp power thats just fun to have and not something that could overpower a build.Quote:Originally Posted by TheJazMan
4) Perhaps, at lvl 50, give us the ability/option to buy weapons. No more than maybe 2 at a time and allow us to slot them. These weapons should be in a 2nd section on our build. Each weapon is one slot and can max out at 3 slots. We can easily obtain them, delete the weapon and get a new one or just replace them with a different weapon. Slots obtained via XP - no need to level but just get XP.
Time will tell if they ever will do something like this. I remember reading in the past about how the powers were balanced by the number we have now. Adding new powers to the mix could end up with a new round of nerfs.Quote:Originally Posted by TheJazMan
5) Level 50 - 1 extra divine power. An arc where, if you complete it, you have the opportunity to get 1 new divine/super power. 6 slottable and those slots are, again, gained via XP. Perhaps a NEW power for each AT (examples of new powers: missile launcher from shoulder, gattling gun on shoulder, power staff, power javelin etc.).
It takes a lot of work to make totally new content. That's why they pad what we have by re-hashing older contentQuote:Originally Posted by TheJazMan
6) NO MORE re-hash of existing content. There is enough of that. Let's keep everything else here on in fresh and new!
The sad thing is that the more control of content you give to players, the more farms and other "junk" will be made. It's just how it goes. It doesn't matter how many times you tell people that something isn't for that. They will do it anyway and then whine when it's taken away/nerfed. We were told from day one that AE wasn't for farming, but after a very short time that's all anyone was using it for. I still run into people that can't understand why they lost the AE farms then ask how they get to Independence Port right after.Quote:Originally Posted by TheJazMan
Anyway, I think the more you involve the player, the more fun. So, I would love to see more player stuff (arch-enemies) etc. Architect Entertainment is an awesome tool but there is too much junk in there; too many farms. This would be another cool way to get more player involvement. -
I'd be interested in seeing if this ever takes off. There are too many rules for my taste, and most of them would be hard to enforce. Plus there is nothing stopping the new leader from saying "Enough of this. New rules!"
-
I saw it everywhere when the Architect box came out. You'll see it again when GR comes out. It's all about spending you money wisely. WoW has so many players that they can afford TV ads. Most other games don't. They have to chose the times when new content comes out.
-
Because there is a lot of space between the two spots you are talking about and it would be a nightmare for them to try and fill it all. Then there is a issue of the number of players in an area. Get too many, and everything slows down.
I guess as someone that played back before we had Pocket D, Base teleporters, Mission teleporter, Ouroboros, Wentworths/Black Market teleporter, Arachnos fliers (CoV wasn't around yet) I just don't see what the problem is. It's never been easier to get around than it is now. Heck, I remember people worrying that the Paragon Dance Party (pocket D replaced it) was making it too easy for lowbies to get to the high level areas. -
huh... I get nice about 50% of the time. The longest streak of nice I got was 16 presents. I've never gotten that many naughty in a row though.

longest I have is 1488 with a reg date of 2005-11-20

Quote:This is an easy way to get started as long as people are willing to sell their SOs. I know I list the Sos that I get because I feel it's only fair to help the new toons that are willing to do the work needed to get the inf they need. 25k at level 50 isn't much, but at level 5 it's a lot.Originally Posted by Memphis_Bill
Depending on your definition of "marketeer" -
1. Do tutorial.
2. Defeat a hellion or skull. One or two should do.
3. Place beginning inspirations on market.
4. Use money from them to buy cheap SOs. 1-2 to start is fine.
5. Cycle that money into more SOs to buy.
6. Sell to appropriate store.
1m in single digit levels is boring, but easy. You can expand out into recipes, as well. -
We have a free market system. The reason the price is high is because the supply is lower than the demand. Just like in the real world, this means that the price goes up to the point that only the people with lots of money can afford them. If you really want to level the playing field then you need to increase the drop rate and not set price caps. There would be no reason to pay a higher price with a larger supply.

The thing people need to remember is that the spawns can drop items too. You get more candy canes by cleaning up other peoples mess.

a couple things...
I'm not sure that cross server would be possible.
And we already get bonuses for teaming. It's called higher XP and more drops. -
Quote:I'm sad to say that it's already happening. There are people that play the game that just don't get that people don't want to PvP with them just because they want it now. If i want to PvP, I will go to the PvP zones. If I want to dual a friend, I will go to the arena. My ignore list is filled with gold farmers and people that demanded that I fight them.Originally Posted by BBQ_Pork
Sorry, Mr. Lucky666, but the prime reason for not wanting a PvP flag (like another game or two have) is the expectation that some would simply target non-PvPers with repeated and incessant duel requests, to the point of harassment and spamming.
Would this really happen? I don't know, but wouldn't be surprised if it did.
I'm pessimistic about human behavior in general, but that's me. -
I have a couple of toons redside that I plan on moving because no matter how I try, I just can't play redside. I don't like the story arcs or the overall feel of CoV. I guess I'm just not that evil.

I just tried all the ones listed on the Quickchat menu and everything but Kneel worked for me

It's working fine for me.

They run Top Gear where I live from time to time, so it can work in the US.

What a weird ad to get people to pay for their television license.

There is an easy way to make your own... Use the HeroClix figures that came in the CoV collector's edition boxes. They sell on eBay for less than $15 (I've seen them go as low as $5) and you get a free month of play if you didn't already have it.

Or the car could stop the moment someone attacks it. All the mobs would jump out and return fire.

uuhh when was the last time you were on freedom? Even during double xp weekends and free activation weekends - they never hit more than 2 bubs. I would say freedom is 50% down from what it was in i11 or 12.
