Quote:I don't know the OP's thought but it would only be slightly less complicated than using the Collect > Badge window. So it would simply be a qol improvement for those that would want to use it.Originally Posted by Dark Energon
What is the thought behind this question?
Is like Trainers doing Tailor things now.. there is an Icon for it.
Same as setting the badge title.. just look it up on the 'Collect > Badge' window. -

Considering that most lvl50 content is VIP only, and before lvl50 there isn't much to miss out on until a lot more issues release, I think a great reward would be a temp VIP for them to get a taste. So when it runs out, they'll be left wanting more.
Not a month VIP, but something more like trial accounts used to be(I'd totally play those trial accounts over a free account anyway), where they get a week to try it out. And make this reward only count toward their FIRST lvl50, not all, so it can't be exploited repeatedly.
However, there is still a downside even to this awesome idea. They could repeat it by making new accounts entirely, allowing them to try out any new issues whenever they come out. But they still wouldn't be true VIP, so they can just get limitations like the old trial had, preventing them from trying all VIP things within a week each time something new comes out.
tldr; A one time trial VIP, perhaps?
Why would the company give deadbeats that are too cheap to spend five bucks to upgrade their accounts to Premium (the price of 400 paragon points), or only two bucks when they put the VIP starter kit on sale (twice so far since Freedom launched) a way to get an upgrade to Premium for free by simply leveling a character to 50? You do recall that any account that goes VIP for any reason drops to Premium if the sub isn't kept active.
That pretty much defeats the whole purpose of making free accounts pay to upgrade their accounts in the first place.
And let's not forget the RMT abuse that this idea will cause. Yeah let's give those [pancakes] unlimited access to the game just for power leveling a character to level 50 on an infinite number of throwaway accounts. -
Quote:I wish the coyote power had a butt scootch mode.Originally Posted by CommunistPenguin
So just as a thought... It would be nice if the coyote power had either a stealth or a -aggro field around it. I mean, the carpet and jetboard get vertical movement, and beastrun/ninja run can be used while fighting. So the coyote power probably needs something to help it stack up, not to mention help it survive traveling.

And yeah, I get that the movie is style over substance, but I do think they went a liiittle overboard with Selene's everfull ammo pistols. So they showed her switching clips what, once? Twice? There was NO room on her outfit to store any clips anyway.

Quote:In the case of jetpacks I'd much prefer to see them added as costume pieces like wings rather than individual powers. They finally gave us an backpack option in the costume creator with animated backpack options so some jetpacks shouldn't be too big a problem.Originally Posted by Tenzhi
Unless, perhaps, it's jetpack-esque.

Not trying to trivialize your decision but I simply pick a title that sounds good when I read my characters name. To me some titles just seem to flow better than others.
Hope that helps. -
The Admin channel doesn't even show up as a channel when you edit your chat channels so there's no way to remove it.

Quote:If they ever do add a bike it will deactivate all other powers like Rocket Board and the others.Originally Posted by PleaseRecycle
If they did add motorcycles, or almost any other type of vehicle, it would be really wonky compared to normal travel powers. Mark my words: they would never consider adding something like this without first developing tech to remove your ability to strafe, to add a colossal amount of inertia, and to cap turning rate at a very low value. Oh, and it wouldn't be able to jump, either. Why do I say this? Because otherwise it would look really stupid, and I don't believe the devs are going to add something inherently stupid looking to the game, much less spend loads of art and animation time doing so.
So, to recap, it would basically be very bad as a travel power. Even if they figured all of that out, imagine riding the bike up the walkways in the Vanguard base. Picture riding the bike through Mother Mayhem's mind. Consider riding the bike through any area with water in it. It might be funny the first time but before the first day of beta testing was done, people would be saying "It's great, but can you make it look less stupid?"
Why? Clockwork 01 explained why here.

It requires the modification of every animation currently existing in the game to work with these movement modes.
Furthermore, it requires every new animation created in the game going forward to be created with these additional movement modes in mind, increasing the number of animations needed for every new power set, emote, etc.
This is not a simple request, it is an exponential increase in time and work for every new animation that is put into the game.
So I wouldn't expect to be able to use any powers on any new travel power. -
Quote:But that was the whole point behind the original SG buffs. The SG as a Group had to earn them.Originally Posted by Egos_Shadow
it would be something you could do to contribute to your group without having to have everyone online and working together at the same time.
Furthermore the devs are insistent that SG's are group/multi-player content and are dead set against adding anything that assists players using solo SG's, so it's very unlikely they'd even consider this. -
Sure /signed

Quote:Pretty sure they did something like that already and then expanded it to all levels and added the auto healing and buffs when a character levels.Originally Posted by Kentor1701C
I am a 5 plus year COH Veteran and I think getting a 50 is reward enough. Although a special LVL up emote would be cool. Its pretty simple. Free players get tons of content for free. If you want more then pay. This will keep this game around that many of us love.

I still think you should get at least 1 new power type or a mini 1 becuse some of us can't afford VIP sub every month.
While I understand your desire to hit the level cap faster, it's already ridiculously easy to do so in just a few hours of playing. (6-12 by reports)Quote:Just most other games it is an xp bonus and I like getting toons to max power asap. -
Quote:And which server do you suggest the devs dedicate to that feature? Virtue? Freedom? Oh maybe make it a VIP feature and use Exalted.Originally Posted by Twigman
I Don't see a problem with them making a dedicated server for those that would like this feature ... They could tack on an additional Monthly cost for it. I wouldn't assume the price, but $5 seems acceptable to me. If it was functional I might even join the band wagon ... as long as there were pre-made options. Designing a base is why I never made a base.
Of course you realize how many paying customers it would piss off if they only added the feature to one server right? Because when the devs are talking about "server storage space" they mean Virtue, Freedom, Pinnacle, etc. -
The location thing is the only thing I doubt that we would be able to get. If the devs did devote resources to this idea I think the best we could hope for is something along the lines of what that other hero MMO has.
We wouldn't be able to pick a zone but maybe get a TP power to the apartment/lair and from there have something along the lines of what I speculated.
At worst we'd probably have to use the base portals and there would be a choice to enter our personal apartment/lair or one of the bases on the list. -

What would be the NON RPers benefit from having an apartment?
Oh and the ability to decorate 3-4 rooms, and the ability to let teammates in. -

Someone will surely come along and give you a thousand reasons why it can't be done, but I just want to sneak in and say that I would love to see that idea implemented
This is a suggestion that everyone has been asking for since the day bases were added to the game. -

How about a global character xp bonus? Stacks up to 30% or sumin. 6 50s, everything levels faster.

Not everyone shares the OP's opinion on what is important. Personally I use the Admin Red color on several of my chat channels because I place the same priority on what gets said in them as anything the Admin channel contains.
