Techbot Alpha

Heh, batform...nice idea actually.
I dont agree with the 'no attacks rule', but make it something thats cahracterful but not a fight winner. The Destruct is more like a fight ender, for all involved
But aye, more new boosters would rock. I get the feeling people will be rooting for them =]

Im sick to death of the same old missions. Heroes at least has some variety, and the choice of Atlas or Galaxy actually means something. A whole lot of meaning, in fact. Whereas Villains feels like 'Woo, your special...only your not, go do this meaningless thing all over again.'
Too WoW like, or too close for comfort. Variety would be a huge boost.

My first post said much the same, in more words, and then didnt post.
Id love some of the later stuff, but I really dont see how it would get through. And it could be abbused too easily.

Corruptors do enough damage as is...my poor tanker =[
That and Psi is rather specialist to resist. Mind you...specced up /dark scrapper vs a Psi/ corruptor...
Corr; [censored], no damage?
Scrapper; Face! -splat-

Hehe...but yeah, Corruptors do silly damage as is, they dont need even more of an advantage.

Hmm, true...

I'm sure you'll see a granite before long.

Yeah? Note the 'meta-dimensional' reference. Granites are walking piles of rocks. Dwarfs are energy-in-pure-form-gone-rampant.
Glasses, myes?

Speaking of storage, a way to god damn hold onto made items rather than having to delete them if theres no-where to put the, during re-shuffle.
Come ON! This is daft. A SG, IC or OOC, would NOT simply throw away something it had made out of rare stuff. eitehr that, or allow rooms to be upgraded in the same way as base plots. Im pretty damn sure im not the only one who knows the pain of getting a bigger teleport room, or defence room. Myes?

It's unfair to us poor Veats I tell you. No turning into squiddies or rockies for us!

No to Kheldian belts!

Nah...we just get the singularly most kickass costumes in game, and the most badass backpack ever created in the entier underworld.

Precioouuusssssss

I find that costumes with tech and armour appeal so much more to me. My only spandexy hero is a PB who was specifically built as part of a Spandex opponent group for my villain SG. And even then he has armour plating on
Its just personal tastes really.

You should just be able to switch off raidable bases!

My base will never be raided or contain items that will allow raids. Why the hell should I be penalized for something I will never do?

Amen.

Personnally i like aspects of this idea and dislike others. I dont think reasons need putting in black and white as to the exact uses of server transfers, if someone wants to pay money to do it then so be it. Its not as if there is someon sat at a desk being paid to manually transfer everyone over who requests it.

I love the aspect of getting something for the Shards TFs other than shiny badges and love the ammount of detail the OP has thought of, taking all constuctive criticism into account and refining his idea.

IMO once a TF has been introduced its only a matter of time before its sussed out and abused, i know the ITF has now been completed in under 2 hours, thus becoming farmable and less special. The Shard TFs are still incredibly difficult and have story lines surrounding them that most players arent even aware of, so for the inclusion of them alone

100% with ya on the rewarding for the TFs...I just really doubt that the majorty of people would be happy if they had'
"Congratulation! You have spent five solid days of your live, and you may now have a two hour trip to the US servers!"
Player:.....?!?!?!

I know I would be annoyed with that >.>

I think with all MM sets so far people are just copy/pasting the same style that the ones in game have. The ideas are cool, but the layout is a bit samey. Maybe a shake up there would produce some slightly more varied sets.

Theres a lot of things in the builder that really tick me off. One thing was trying to place monitor control items next to each other, and they were 'blocking'....there on a damn wall for heaven sake, how more unblocked can it be ?!
-prays on I13-

Just a general sort out of team search would be reeeally nice, tbh. Like not showing people that are already on teams (as an option, in case you *need* to look for someone) and TFs. And perhaps an auto-refresh, the ammount of times I've invited people only to find their already on a team...-shrugs-

It may not sound much, but its just that extra bit of variety which can be really nice. And being able to slightly customise the weapons used (if any) would be so nice. An example is my archery/fire samurai demon blaster, who has a good bow, but when using fire sword pulls out a scimitar. Id rather it was a katana. Admittedly that might take more time, given the new looks that would have to be applied, buts its bascially just weapon customising, which is already in, right?

I still like the idea of the gangs actually duking it out, as they are meant to.
To 'contain' the mobs a PPD cordon could always set up, which would mean people could avoid the trouble if they want. Or dive right on in if they want to.

And maybe have something akin to Vanguard merits rather than badges, as I know that they get stale after a bit. Whereas merit like things you can trade in for costume pieces, or the like, or even just influence or prestige bonuses, would have much more appeal, I think. I know id sign up to kick gang butt
/signed, for thought if nothing else.

The Krimzon Guard is an RP group that is still looking for troops. Its meant to be an Elite Regiment (although thats just backstory really), which im looking to make well organised and mostly VEAT specific.
And all that jazz. Definately give us a look in if interested, especially for RP =]

Suh-weeeet. I like the look.
Anyway, I agree with the no to customisable weaponary. But YES to the more options in armour/butt capes department
Soldiers with no helmets AND helmets, etc.

And, back offtopic...hmmmmmm Crab Spider team...AoE. Paaaaain XD

True, they are very customisable, but, in the end, theres nothing that makes a SG base feel 'different'. I think pretty much everyone has a piece from the Freedom Phalanx or Arachnos, which means someone is getting rich off knockoffs...
But something group specific would be cool indeed. And, yes, we do have to wait for I13, I admit. But then we shall see.
As for rent...I can see the point in it. And tbh, its believable that you'd STILL get the petty beauracrats trying to leech more money from people =P But yes, in an ideal world rent would no happen. We shall see.

I actually like Taurus suggestion, sounds like a much more sensible idea. A kind of 'veto' system. Given that, odds on, the OP will dissagree to the thread being closed (only imo) then alerting a mod sounds plausible, and might save them some hassle as well.
Again, I dont know how the mods work and such. Etc.

Agree with Xemulas, although the 'private rooms' could be quite cool. For example, in my main Villain group, which is an RP one, we could actually enforce the limitations that we have thought up for people who are not in the group, rather than having to trust them (which, admitedly, should be part of the RP, but hey).
Anyway, novel, certainly.

True there should be incentive for lvl 50s to continue playing, but saying that lower lvls cannot 'take the fight to the streets' just feels....wrong. Definately something to work on, but it would need some thought, as always.

Is there? Righto. And damn =[ nvm, im kinda getting used to my Bane with no backpack.

Its a nice idea, actually. But as others have said, if its thought about it needs to be something thats worth it, and isnt a hassle. Limiting it to 50s is an uncertainty, especially if people dont see it as worth it.
But worth thinking about. The only thing I dont see is the riots, not in CoH. Thats smacks a bit too much of various bits in comics, and anti-supers. In CoV, however? -peers outside Fort Darwin in Mercy, and at the mob- Sergeant, pass me the pleb rifle!
