Water - Mainly for blasters, barrage your foes with mighty blasts of water, similar to the coralax

[/ QUOTE ]

Interesting, think its been suggested before, but add in Light blast from the Legacy Chain mobs, I say.

[ QUOTE ]
Burrowing - instead of jumping or flying, why not tunnel!

[/ QUOTE ]

Doubtful going to happen soon, if ever. Mass gfx problem, amongst others.

[ QUOTE ]
Streching - punch those villains from meters away with rubber arms and legs, even form a massive hammer or wall from your bouncy body!

[/ QUOTE ]

Again, Gfx nightmare, doubtfull ever going to happen.

[ QUOTE ]
Shapshifting - you can control your form. Turn from massive behemoth, to agile wolf if you need a get awy faster!

[/ QUOTE ]

Kheldians. Otherwise, a bit of a problem, also suggested before, even if it would be sorta cool.

[ QUOTE ]
Earth MM - you have a strong connection with the earth, and can summon earth based minions, such as rock elementals, magma lords and quartz.

[/ QUOTE ]

Not a bad idea, not normal NPC enemy minions though, but and
Events:

[ QUOTE ]
Since the rogue islands is mostly water, allow Lusca to pop up every now and then, to wage war with the villains.

[/ QUOTE ]

No. Doesnt work with the background. Maybe add some sort of Corolax GM, but Lusca belongs in IP.

[ QUOTE ]
Make more of the Skulls, Outcasts, Trolls and Hellions by setting them against each other in massive gang riots.

[/ QUOTE ]

Gang wars yes, but you get really sick of this lot after a while. The New Hollows is overcrowded, especially for the hunt missions. You can never find the right mob. Trust me...

[ QUOTE ]
Use logged off characters as random villains or heroes in safeguard and mayhem missions!

[/ QUOTE ]

Mission creator, I14. Using peoples character without their permission would not be popular.

[ QUOTE ]
The Sims MMO is that way. ->
Second Life is down there, by the dumpster.

Having an alter ego you could swap to is something us Roleplayers have wanted for a while, but systematising it to the extent you're after would eliminate the flexibility that we want. (So, actually, your idea is more likely to be implemented than just a straight character model change or similar. Developers hate roleplayers.)

[/ QUOTE ]

To be honest, in RP, thats what alternate costume slots are *for*. Admittedly the name doesnt change but...well, thats part of roleplay. Unless you encounter tools, of course...

what i would like to see is recipe drops from players in the PvP Zones, not anything taken of the player that lost, but the possibility of one dropping for defeating a player, it works very well in WAR.

or maybe say 10 of the merits.

[/ QUOTE ]
Lets first get a decent working PvP then

I say:
US/EU merge of servers.

[/ QUOTE ]

This is pretty much the one thing they have guaranteed is not happening anytime soon.

No, not the workable PVP
Although they do need to sort out whats going on there

If they were working on a 'CoH2' for the Coming Storm...
Well, I *would* go and buy a new graphics rig, and t'hell with it! XD
Yes, let pedestrians move out of OUR way, thanks very much...jeese...

Yeah, and fighting gianter robots

/Signed, but not pay. Paying for renaming the characters, IMO, is a bit much, really. Its your character, I dont see why you should be stuck with things if you dont like it. but hey, way of the world.
Agains, /Signed.

I actually think thats quite cool. A mixed buff/debuff set. Not bad, yeah might need some tweaking, but very interesting =]

It has to be power customisation to compete with CO.

I think player housing will be in.

Possibly going rogue.

[/ QUOTE ]

Tbh going rogue was rumoured for I13, it was also hinted at by devs, if they can do it surely do it soon...I woult love to good > evil > good transfer...muhahahaha

[/ QUOTE ]

The fact that (I think) Castle mentioned the 'line inbetween' in a recent interview, Im guessing the Rogue system will be in soonish. Guessing.
Weather would be very nice...
HOEVER....please god let them smooth out the running of gfx...or I WILL need to fork out for a decent graphics rig le sigh

It would be nice if they gave you the option of something like a jetpack/hoverboard for fly, costume wise. A bit like jetboots, but something that comes out with certain animations.

I doubt that will happen, soon or ever, unless they plan a lot of things like that in the 'big team' upgrades the devs have mentioned.

Kudos for making me 'lol', guys, nice one ^^

I do that IRL if I think someone hasn't considered all the possibilities, or just has a lousy argument. I'm not the Devil's Advocate, he's my trainee.

[/ QUOTE ]

Stop drawing all those pentagrams, Raven!


But yeah, its normal. I find that, sometimes, the RP just seems to fly. Its brilliant when it does, too =] It feels like you stepped into a comic book world...which is right and proper for a game about Heroes, right?
But yeah, your still insane

Unfortunately i believe it has some associations with Nazis in a similar way that the twin lightning bolt used by the SS was actually a runes

*edit*
yea here it is

[ QUOTE ]
The Madr and Yr runes in Guido von List's Armanen Futharkh were very loosely based on the Younger Futhark. List's runes were later adopted and modified by Karl Maria Wiligut who was responsible for their adoptions by the NSDAP and subsequently used widely on insignia and literature during the Third Reich.

Based on this association, the rune is still used by various Neo-Nazi groups like the National Alliance.[3]

[/ QUOTE ]

Of course that shouldn't be a reason not to have the runes they are after all basically just letters

[/ QUOTE ]

And they also stole, and reversed a Hindu symbol for the swastika. The Other way around, its actually a symbol of peace and Harmony

I think the main danger(s) in a server merge run like this;
(In no particular order)

1) Server groups have their own lore, reknowned figures, etc. You effectively have to start over if the servers are merged, which could lead to some bad feeling.
2) The numerous possibilities of conflicting names/SG names, which *would* cause problems, wether RP players or not. People care about characters that, as someone said, they have spent 4 years playing.
3) Possible over crowding. Now, that only comes in if there was ever, somehow, an EU US merge...there would be a LOT of people. And, thus, a much larger ammount of lag, unless the servers got quite a large boost. Seeing as we get lag spikes now, with middling servers, due to invasions etc. that does not bode well, really.

Anyway. I don't see a huge reason to start getting out the d00m sandwhich boards and such. But it may be worth keeping a weather, and level headed, eye out.

It would be nice to colour individual parts of a costume, rather than being stuck with the block system of present. Still, its a good editor, and im not going to knock it =]

-watches thread through binoculars-
-From a nuke shelter-
-Many, many miles away-

I think a memorable moment was the Corporation Team that went on the LGTF.
Im going to have to paraphrase, but the Rikti would have heard something like this coming up the corridor;

"I really -stab- hate these things!"
"Summation: Accurate, they...gah, damnit, I can't stop it!"
"Someone pass me a spanner."
"Try that, and I WILL gut you."
"less talk -stab- more hittin' people!"
"I still say we use that junk pile as a missile."
"Shove it up yours, pal!"

We argued, griped and cussed our way all up to Hro'Dotz and the Honoree, who was then pounded into so many squishy pieces there was a '[censored]?' moment when we realised we'd run out of hitting ^^
Epic indeed -nods-

Not a good idea. Less moeny in, less updates out. Less gfx stuff, less...everything.
Its hardly crippling, is it?

I'm up for graphics changes, so long as, like they said, they keep in mind people who are milited to things like laptops.
The 'between zone' sounds very neat. Gah! I thought I was hyping for I13...the future sounds good =P very good.

No matter how polite I'm asked to fill. I wont. Simple dimple (as my sister always says). I pay my subs, you pay your subs. We both play the game how we like so why change others play stile just to please yourself?
Unless the person who wants me to fill offers to pay for my sub, it will always be no.

[/ QUOTE ]

That's the sort of selfish morals that wind me up.

[/ QUOTE ]

So it's your way alone or someone is selfish...? Erm... right.

[/ QUOTE ]

No, I mean that if someone refuses to help another person in game no matter how nicely they ask ever, then it's very selfish.

If I was asked for help with anything from another player, i'd like to think if I could do so I would.... and i'm damn sure anything that is asked of me would be harder than accepting an invite for 2 mins.

[/ QUOTE ]

If people give a polite enough tell, they should *usually* get a polite reply saying 'No thanks' back. Unless its one of those days...
I have filled sometimes, if im waiting for things to kick off with SG members or w/e, or if Im generally idling around. If im actually wating to achieve something on the chari im on, then I'll turn it down.

If I want to play the game the way I want to play, and pay for it, how is it selfish if I play the game I want to play? (taking it as a general comment, too) If anything, saying that not playing the game a way you dont want to is WRONG, is more wrong than not helping. You cant make people do things they dont want to do. Theres names for that =3 fair point? But yes, theres no reason to not be polite.

Unless the tell involves "Fill,lolz!!111"...
-pulls out shotgun- :P

The most annoying one, although not a tell, was when I was running a team as my Bane Spider. Actually, there were two, but this one was the 'rude' one;
I had been leading the team for msot of the time, think the old leader quit. We were doing a pseudo-bank mission, y'know the ones you get where theres no timer? Well, this one guy kept asking me to invite his mate. We had used up all the lk space, and his mate was lvl 10, while we were at 24-5 or something. He kept asking, normally while knee-deep in cops, etc. In the end he went onto this long rant about how I was 'A n**, g**' and multiple other insults. At which point I lost my cool and barbequed him But it really got my goat.

The other one was not so much a tell, more the team being msotly dense XD a couple of peeps would not lackey up, and kept running straight into huge mobs, then wondered why we wiped. They are the ones solely responsible for turning my Medic Spider into a really nasty, grumpy Bane Spider sergeant

To be honest, I dont know why I bother, as I am getting more than a little fed up with being jumped on by the same bunch of posters every time I post.

[/ QUOTE ]

Join the club - these forums are fast becoming a joke - and not a funny one. It seems that you can only post if
1) You think the game is perfect and cannot be improved
2) You spend more time in the forum then you do in game
3) You think anyone who has a different point of view is wrong
and finally -
4) You chant "there is no server population problem" over and over in the hope that it will brain wash the people who have a different point of view into agreeing with you

[/ QUOTE ]

1) No, the games not perfect. No idea where this came from.
2) I spend time mostly ingame, or doing other stuff. But I check the forum a lot to keep up to date on things. Is that a problem?
3) Oh, why does this sound familiar?...*coughHyprocritecough*
4) -Facepalm- Did GR telling you to stop have no effect?

Some people never learn...

The last troll slumped to the floor, the taser making his body twitch now and then. Officer York stepped over the prone body, planting his boot firmly on the back of one of the mob as he tried to rise.
"I would'nt try that, pal," he observed with a wry grin. He watched as the rest of the unit moved in an locked down the area. He slung his sniper rifle back over his shoulder, just as his PDA went off.
A minute later and York looked up with an amused smile.
"New unit, eh? Sounds interesting. Change is good..." he mused, heading off, leaving the Trolls to adapt to the change they would be facing in life, or more accurately the inside of the Zig.

We should use the standard officer costume sets available, so we're all similar looking. On top of that, supergroup mode can keep us synchronized in colour. Here are three popular designs I've seen on test.

Stationed Officer

Street Officer

Active Officer

Special Weapons

Edit: I've initiated a roleplaying thread for recruitment, do join in. Shield Police: Recruitment

[/ QUOTE ]

Argh, argh, argh, you CAN make a good looking SWAT Officer now...OH dear...XD
Well, Officer York is a Marksmen, guess that comes under special weapons. I will most likely make a shield one (will make, who am I kidding?) too.

Aye, whats been said before (including the ludicrous monthage XD )
Again, lose the hamidon blob...maybe a mini, hovering Shivan? They do rad damage.

Perhaps have it as a SG Base extra? That way a SG could have a hall of fame kind of thing?

[/ QUOTE ]

/Signed -nods-

I DO tend to bind it, and normally to T cos its easy to reach and its appropriate...
Still doesnt detract from the fact that the hover time is too short. If you lose track of where your going or such, or get hit by a lag spike...oops, kiss your health goodbye and, if your in a higher zone before you're level 50, thats NOT a good thing =[
