Statesman_4_Prez

Ive suggested this before, the feedback came back saying that it isnt as possible as it sounds sorry.

not all scrapper primaries are going to be martial arts, we could have electrical melee, which isnt martial arts at all, and I didnt say no more martial arts styles or bladed weapons, I said we have enough swords and I didnt say anything about not having other martial arts, I want other martial arts like Kempo or Tai quan do.

Hard to hide a polearm to sneak up on people in real-life.

Yeah, buts thats because you arent trained to, or can turn invisible many things in the game go against the laws of Physics.

Think about snooker (not that is goes against physics), the assissination would be near enough the same as hitting the ball but crouching down, agile and easy.

who said all stalkers were ninjas? and i see your point, but as long as you could sneak up to someone and drill your polearm into them, then its a stalker possibility (and they wouldnt want to miss out on another powerset now would they?)

the reason i didnt putt a staff down was that most of the weapons have a sharp edge, smaching someone with a staff wouldnt cut them open unless you sharpened it like a pike.

yes, smashing/lethal damage. sweep, launching smash and abliteation are all cone, spinning slice is PBAoE. Ricochet is a parry attack and all other attacks are single targeted.
Abliteraction can also disorient targets and launching smash has a knockdown chance.

I hope that filled you in, I dont think theres more i could add...

I'm not sure if this has been suggested before, but the Idea is polearms, big long sticks with sharp things on the top, its available to all Melee archetypes (not widows)

Here are the powers:

1) Lunge
2) sweep
3) Impale
4) Spinning Slice or Assassins Skewer
5) build up
6) Ricochet
7) taunt or placate
8) Launching Smash
9) Abliteration

the customisations are:

Spear (dagger tip)
Trident (tripple tip)
Halberd (axe tip)
Voulge (Cleaver tip)
Nagamaki (blade tip)
Naginata (Cutlass tip)

Talsorian (like Naginata but energy)
Rulaaru (like Trident but with an eye)

Hope you like the idea, even if its mine or not, I'm hoping that its to be a possibility in the near future

Its basically a mix of MA and Katana, so it wouldnt really be possible as it isnt a new powerset

another sword, well, the only sword I think should be allowed in now is a claymore, or we would end up with City of Martial Artists.

Well, they still can see you, but wont attack, but instead of hiding you, it should accelerate the Re-hide sequence at least. its a bit strange throwing down a smoke bomb and still being there, and they wont attack you.

I keep seeing that on the loading info screens nowadays

Anyway, as long as LR has a Coalation with other big buisnesses, I'm sure theyde be on the list of possible patrons, but it would seem more likely for the AV's already in arachnos to have thier own patron first.

Maybe VEATS could have an inherent Fitness pool powerset, it may not be much, but it gives a bonus to other travel powers and VEATS get thier own inherent powers, everybody is happy

(if you arent happy then your asking for too much)

smoke flash is placate, but for some reason it doesnt hide you, it would be alot better if it would hide you rather than throwing down a smoke bomb and still being there.

There might be a reason it doesnt hide you, but when it says it workss well with hide I expected it to immediently change me to 'hidden' status. Is there a reason that this power doesnt function like it should?

you said for Ice Mistral, Silver Mantis and Wretch to be patrons, so why did you miss out on Barracuda?

[/ QUOTE ]

because Barracuda would be exactly the same patron as Mako

and None arachnos giving patron powers would be a bit iffy, if they did so arachnos would think they are trying to destroy Project destiny and would have them killed, the whole game is based on arachnos' little experiment.

So far we have 4 patrons, but I know there are other AV's that rank highly in arachnos, and I'd like to see them become a contact for another set of Patons


Ice Mistral for example, she is a widow (as far as I know) who commands the powers of ice, this would make a usefull patron for slowing and holding, her pet would be along the lines of Ice Widows (new) her badge would be 'Ice Cold'

Silver mantis is another, her powers function much like spines (they probably are) but she seems more likely to teach a powerset that would not make her less unique, I suggest a version of Weapon Mastery for villains, the pet would possibly be something like Jounin in arachnos form. her badge would be 'looking sharp'

Wretch is a patron that would be usefull, the power of strength and energy, this is more suited for brutes, stalkers and thug masterminds and Bane Spider soldiers, the pet would be a Bane spider. his badge would be 'Powerhouse'

Arbiter sands would be prefered by many SoA's as they strive to be the best arachnos soldier ever, it also fits the players with a gun like weapon, the powers would be a villain version of Munitions mastery (no sleep grenade) and the pet would be a Wolf Spider Huntsman. his badge would be 'High Authority'


I'm not asking to berid of the current patrons, but have a much wider selection that has a variety of power types that best suit a players character most of these missions include ones already used in patrons with ones that each new AV have a vendetta against. I look forward to a reply and if you have ay alternatives feel free to offer them up

Right, just thaught I'd bring up something big and new :/

but apparently big and new things arent that good than I thaught, apologies to all who hate this idea

OK! OK! i get it, you dont have to turn society itself on me, its only a freaking sugestion! I'm only trying to keep ideas rolling

I'd like to see a few more AT's in game, I think its achievable with plofiferation and a bit of tweaking, heres what I'd like to see...


HEROES

A hero mastermind who has melee instead of range and defence instead of buff, many henchmen can be re-used and renamed, of course, some would have to go such as oni, thugs and zombies, but could be replaced by shinobi, SWAT and spirits.

A stalker who has range and defense, instead of an assassins strike they get a sniper attack that functions the same, many powers have a snipe and a matching defense set.

VILLAINS

A new AT that focuses on Melee powers from the stalker set but does not need to hide, the second powerset is blast, this offeres a good variety of both ranged and melee.

An AT with Assault/manipulation and buff, this speaks for itself, the ability to attack and weaken foes however you like.


Hope you like the idea, and like Professor Farnsworth said
"Nothing is impossible, not so long as you can Imagine it!"

Then they could do the timeout like on chat where you repeat something over and over very fast and you cant speak for 2 mins, they can apply the same for costume spammers

Maybe I just didnt notice it before, anyway, but thats not the topic, like sorudo said the delay should be about 5 seconds, that seems more reasonable to me

Maybe not create a power that has nothing to do with your current powers, but something like pick a power from a similar powerset that you do not have, let me explain

A fire blaster gets any of the first 6 powers from another fire powerset, the last 3 powers of course would be too powerful, but at least they get something they want from another powerset (I myself want lotus drops for ninja blade )

Heres an Idea, with the weapon customisation in the game and mission creator coming up, why not have Henchman customisation for masterminds.

of course, changing the suit completely is out of hand, upgrades would not function the adding of items/suits to henchmen properly, but I suggest we can change the colour of the uniforms and costume pieces along with minor details.

In this we would be able to add a chest detail onto the henchmen as a signiture emblem, changing thier weapons into whatever others you like or even changing the colour of your henchmen to suit your personal likings.

an example is the standard merc soldier, change his suit to a military green, adding an emblem to his jacket and changing his gun to a more prefered one, this would personolise your own squadren of soldiers to look however you like

This seems possible with the same screen as the arachnos widow/soldier costumes, unable to change much, but colour tint and customise a small part of the costume.

hope you all like the idea

Ah! its the dawn of the bogus ninja culture all over again!

anyway, i thing they should create a sheath animation by reversing the draw animation, sheathes would be cool, easy and simple...and it would stop players from conjouring up weapons from nowhere.

The reason why I say NOW is because i didnt know when the patch came in (I was away from the game for half a year a few months back) but as Liz said, it could possibly be obsolite by now.

I also noticed that the Taser power drom devices was changed, it was a real taser to the hip, now its a flimsy electric wire, and the two toggle powers in Ninjitsu used to look cool, now its just looking side to side and the same animation as boxing, i think they should return most of the old animations back to thier former glory!

Making a power including a weapon would be tricky, but If I can make a Bladed Weapon have a 'Laced Poison' attack, then that would be awsome

I have a mission for this area, similar to bloody bay, create a flyer, a temp power mission where you visit crashed Planes and Flyers and salvage the tech. When you arrive and activate the salvager, ghosts of the Pilots and passengers appear like the Shivans, after that you go to a lab, destroy the defenses, craft the Flyer (heroes get longbow chaser, villains get sky raider skiff) then visit your contact again and report your success! you recieve your temp power of a Flying Vheicle
