That is a point, of course. You just implement basically the same thing for all the pools with different special effects.

SS: Hyper-run: You move so fast you just blur away from where you are, vibrate through the war walls, and appear at your target.
Fly: Hypersonic: You take off upward and land at your target.
Jump: Hulk-mode: Same as Fly, but you jump instead of flying.

Still almost certainly too powerful, and the UI would be horrible. Probably not exploitable since the devs would be in control of the target locations.

Oh, please. This is the Interwebz. If NCSoft came out and said the EU servers would stay as they are for time immemorial, backing it up with a legally binding contract signed by the CEO and the US President, half the population wouldn't believe it, and the other half would start complaining that they want a server/server list merge and keeping the EU servers is wrong.

They can't win. Face it.

Nope. Flower Knight was a later addition. The Hero tutorial got revamped a few years ago. Nothing major, just pretty much as Sam said: better explanations and the use of an assist NPC to demonstarte the technology.

No, sorry, I don't think you understand the point of roleplaying, personally, but you definately can't assume that roleplayers are going to agree with you.

In my experience, going back to well before CoH existed, long bio spaces are a terrible idea. If you'd like, I can enumerate various instances where long bios have belonged to some of the most awesomely bad roleplayers I've ever met, but I'd rather not. The only long bios I've ever read which were worth reading were parodies of the lousy ones written by other people.

Roleplaying is about talking to people and finding things out about their characters by interaction. If I can pull up a screen of information about your character which tells me everything I need to know, what's the point in talking to you? Having your character's life story written up there is an ego trip, not a roleplay aid.

The other major abuse of large bios is for power-gaming. The bio is usually a long list of the fake powers someone has and the outlandish justification for them. That's not roleplay either.

The bio we have is long enough for a good physical description. If you want something longer, put it on a web page and put the link in your bio.

Finally, this game has gone for about 6 years with the bio length it has. Increasing it has been suggested so many times it's untrue. WoW still has no official character bio data. It's really not that popular an idea, and it sure isn't as popular as you think with those who roleplay.

Wrong forum.

Yah. I do like the Rikti Mother Ship idea, but have you noticed that the sewers were the only hazard zones anyone ever went in, and that was before AE. You don't get people plowing through Eden, or street-cleaning in the War Zone. Most people think it's a better idea to 'gentrify' the hazard zones, as they did with Faultline. There are no hazard zones in the Rogue Isles, they'd figured out just how popular they were even then.

I do like the Mothership idea though. That'd be cool. The problem would be getting in.

Treacle. It's treacle in the Internet. *nods sagely*

A low level power which cannot be slotted is glorious. It lets you put those valuable enhancement slots in other places. I honestly don't understand what the problem is with having an unslottable power when there's no way to usefully enhance that power.

While the real answer is Zortel's, I'd have to go with Omy's one.

That Bond theme: Mr QQ Bang Bang.


DP is fun. Freezing someone into a block of ice and then gunning them down is fun.

If you can be bothered to learn how to play it, it's a perfectly good set.
