Sigium

A long, long time ago in a forum far away... I had an idea like this.

It was called 'Inherents Unleashed' or something. Basically, upon reaching Level 40 (since nothing else really happens beyond a new costume) you'd be able to run a series of missions that would unlock a second Inherent power, but there would be several to choose from. For instance:

Scrapper:
1. Critical Hit chance is doubled
2. Critical Hits stun enemies
3. Upon scoring a Critical Hit, you gain status protection for 5 seconds
4. Critical Hits increase the recharge time of all powers by 100% for 5 seconds
5. Knock Up/Back/Down attacks automatically score Critical Hits.

This list goes on for some time, all basing it off of the original Inherent of the AT.

CoT Ghosts - Immune to hold/sleep/knockback/etc, lowers your accuracy, and drains your health.

Vanguard Sword - Never have I seen enemies rip my defese to absolute shreds.

Based on Tokyo's whining, when I create a new character, I should start out at Level 50, be able to select all of my powers, unlock all costume pieces, and be underway with all badges.

After all, it isn't fair that I can't play with the same efficiency as people who spent time leveling to 50. I mean, I'm sitting here, Level 4, using the same 2-3 powers that aren't doing much of anything while the others are kicking butt and leaving me in the dust. Not. Fair!

I love this thread so much. Aett, I'm tempted to ask you not to feed the trolls, but I'm so very entertained that I just can't do that.

It depends for me.

1. Normal:

I put my Accolades and Temp powers there. Boosters, the cool stuff, it's all got a place for me. I always end up keeping: Mission Teleporter, Self Destruct, Ninja Run, Base Teleporter, Pocket D Teleporter, Tarot Deck, and occasionally the 'Walk' power.

2. Mastermind:

Aggressive, Defensive, Passive, Attack My Target, Follow, Go Here, Stay. If I NEED anything else in there, I put in Leadership powers.

This SO has my vote.

Can we please have a clock?

Why? Well, because I'll admit, I lose track of time when I play any MMO, and a clock would be an awesome way to keep track of time.

Add an alternative clock to display the 'Paragon Time', which moves much faster than a regular clock to show the time in the city, so people will know how close they are to hunting at night/day.

Whaddya think? Horrible? Undesirable? Inconvenient? Not worth the time and effort?

Simple fix:

1. Bind teleport to your 'F' key in the options menu.
2. Press F
3. Click your destination
4. Teleport
5. Repeat

CoH was missing one Street_Wolf for the last four months.

You've been properly filled in.

Atlas Park.

Call me cliche, but just the idea of seeing the place looking like it's gotten a complete redo is gonna be what gets me.

Honestly, nearly ALL powersets have a full attack chain by level 4. About the only ones that don't are Controllers, Tankers (no tier 3 Secondary 'til 6), Mastermind, and generally builds that are built for support.

My Defender has 2 attacks. 2 at level 20, not counting Veteran Rewards. Those 2 attacks do me just fine, and have thus gotten me through the game with him.

This idea. Wow.

But honestly? If it got some genuinely 'sexy' clothing to our characters that didn't look like body paint, I'd /sign this in an instant.

Plus, how awesome would it be to have Bruce Banner /clothesrip into the Incredible Hulk? And then /trademark into Generic 1015 8034?

What's always bugged me about any zone in City of Heroes is the lack of enemy-environment interaction. Rikti Warzone broke this boundary by having Rikti forces making their 'mock surges' against the Vanguard Base... Fat load of good those always did, eh?

What about a zone where those bad guys could take over? Where your actions in stopping them would make the difference between the zone looking like a slum, or looking like a metropolis?

I propose a new zone that would experiment with this. I don't have a name for it yet, but it's a work-in progress.

This zone will be composed of 8 Districts. Each district will have a major infrastructure that is recognized as what sets the district apart. Here's the list of the infrastructures:
District 1: Cyber-Engineering Industry
District 2: Hospital
District 3: Tram
District 4: Mall
District 5: Tailor
District 6: Power Plant
District 7: Trainer's Field
District 8: The Park

Once every so often, by a number of hours, an enemy group will try to siege one of infrastructures. Each infrastructure will have a number of guards on the premises to try and ward off the defenders, but will fail more often than not. It's up to the Heroes of the city to defend these structures.

Normally, these zones will flourish. They will shine, people will frolic and everything will be perfect and wonderful. However, should a district be taken over by one of these enemy groups, it will fall into a state of disrepair. Graffiiti will line the walls, people will slump around wearing tattered clothing, papers and litter will fly through the air and buildings will look far more dilapidated, but more importantly; you won't be able to access whatever it is the district is used for.

The zone itself is a Zone Event. Whenever there IS a takeover, you must enter the infrastructure itself and battle the forces that have taken it over. There will be several different skins for the same buildings based on what group has taken over. Defeat their ranks, defeat the boss, and the district will begin seeing improvement.

The zone's overall status will determine any strengths/weaknesses affecting your Hero. For instance, if the zone falls into a state of disrepair, the enemies will be stronger and you may suffer a few debuffs like -End Recovery due to smog filling the air, etc etc. If all 8 zones flourish? There might be some Temp Powers available from stores, or even some discount enhancement stores, or some other goodies. Maybe a store that'll sell costume parts.

"But how can you reclaim the zone if you've got debuffs making combat impossible?"
The answer is 'Reinforcements'. Occasionally, the PPD will come to the zone in a small, assembled strikeforce. These people, alone, will have a 50/50 chance of taking back the infrastructure, giving the zone a chance of it's own.

So, there you go... A living, breathing zone that puts enemies and the environment on the same level, and it allows for Heroes to feel as though they're making an impact, rather than just being a small, insignificant part of something.
