Yeah, more animal/robotic/bones and other non-human parts would be really awesome... But hopefully some of this would come out out of boosters, as I have some problems buying them because of LevelUpGames (the company that sells NCSoft products in Brazil)

MORE gruesome? You´re really a Masochist, no? LOL

Anyway, this sounds crazy, but fun... For some. If you´re serious I´m not sure if many players out there would find this fun enough to spend their game time on them tough. You pretty much killed tanks (and most of the defense powersets actually) with the "no toggles", and MM without pets many would consider useless too... "Heal0rz" are only useful in a couple of the mishes, making at least the chance of other buffs shine (only the solo mish ignore them).
I believe this would be fun for some (few) and a living nightmare for others (most, including me), so I don´t see something like this being implemented any time soon...

So... Paper ads are dead? So this means anyne who spends their money on Comics ads are doing it wrong? Come on! I don´t think neither Marvel nor any other comic group would be against selling some pages to CoX (maybe DC won´t because of their own MMORPG). Some internet advertisement also can´t be that expensive...
I sure think marketing guys should be doing some more work than telling the Devs not to tell us about the news too early...

Interesting.... Nice idea. I agree that a dual damage would be better, maybe Lethal/Toxic?

Intead of Nitrogen (or Radon in the Edit) how about something like Carbonic Cloud? CO2, the gas coming from combustion in cars, is pretty lethal in high doses and puts people to sleep. Then we could change the "chance for ignition" to the Bromine one (nt sure what to call it tough..)

Also for being an Alchemy set I miss the ability to change things (or people in this case) into gold... ;-) Maybe in place of one of the other holds you create a Gold Statue from the enemy? Just thinking...

I agree that Dark Astoria is one of the zones that should get a revamp... Several could use some changes, both in game-play and looks, maybe to increase the population of those zones. Right now there are several "dead zones". Unfortunately, since right now they seem to be busy giving us the NEW zones from Praetoria, I believe these are going to be put on hold for some time yet. Anyway, there have been some good suggestions in this thread and I hope the Devs get to check them soon...

In resume /signed

Edit: I`ve been thining.... How about an oficial thead about "Zone Revamps" for the Devs to consider after GR?

Do we have any possible dates for GR yet? Cause last I heard it was planned for second quarter.... If that´s so and I17 is going to be a "tie in" it will take longer than the other recent issues. I13 was last December, 14 April, 15 June and 16 September... Someway I´m not seeing it happening longer than the others mentioned, probably January or February. I´m still kind of upset November 27th came and all we got was a new entry to the "Story" site so I really would like to see something new before GR...
(On a side note Posi said they were thinking on I18 when they lunched I14... Possibly they´re thinking in I21 already...)

BTW: Have you guys read those letters? They´re awesome... That Seer guy is really creepy. lol

Too bad for Martial Arts users... They won´t clip on my toons, give them to me! lol, jk

I´m always up for more non-humanoid enemies (I want to fight some freaking dinossaurs!!!!), but agree on the /Jranger for landsharks... That would be ugly, and BABs always says that ugly looking animations would be done only after he leaves the developing business... LOL (Or something like that, I´ve read it on the "water zones" thread. Sorry for misquoting you BABs!)

Well, I like the general idea of improving day jobs... Right now I pick them up pretty much for the badges, and would be nice to see some change.
Toggle for some, charges for others... I think it could work without being exploitative, just need some thinking done around what was said in this thread. Like, let´s say... You get the xp protect bonus up to 20 charges and when you die you hit an option using it, if you want. The same goes for xp, when you complete a mish you get a window asking if you wnat to use your charge.
Also Day Job contact certainly would be awesome for the RP part, and I also tought it would be implemented when Day Jobs first came, but I don´t think the superior bonus would be as much a good adittion... You already have the advanced bonus after you have the badge, so I think it might be overkill.

So, just because the intend of this is to get some answers I´m writting this both in English and Portuguese. Not accurate translation from one language to the other, but the same "general subject", just so you guys know. And not even sure if placing it on the right place...

Here it is, I have a problem... I live in Brazil and love playing this game, but due the lack of interest (that´s the best way I can describe it) of the company that sells the game here I can not buy neither the Science Booster and Ninja Booster, simply because they don´t seel them. The thing is that they have an exclusive contract with NCSOFT and there´s no way I can buy them either from it because they block off my IP adress. So, I´m here for 2 things... Does anyone knows a way I can buy them in other place (or other way)? And the second is asking out Brazilian Player to join me on the complains directly to Level Up Games (the troublesome company) and ask them to sell us what we want! Come on, I just want the oportunity to BUY it!

Fala galera, então aqui está o problema... Quem vive no Brasil sabe o quanto problema a Level Up dá pra gente. Já tentei perguntar e argumentar diversas vezes sobre o fato de eles não venderem os Boosters por aqui. Na pagina deles só tem o Cyborg Booster, sendo que o Magic eu só consegui comprando o Architect Edition... Science e Ninja nem pensar, simplesmente não tem como. E aí, como é que vai ficar com o Going Rogue? Será que este eles vão vender? Então, tava querendo saber... Alguém que joga no Brasil conseguiu comprar esses booster? Se sim, como? Alguma maneira de passar pelo identificador de IP? E a outra coisa que queria é pedir pro pessoal se unir e reclamar! Vamo lá gente, lotar os babaca da Level Up de pedidos e reclamações para quem sabe eles perceberem que tem gente interessada nisso!

As a Mastermind set I believe this suggestion could work just fine... And would give us the chance to play something like (GEEK ALERT) Multi Man from the Impossibles. :-)
But for it to work there would have to be some kind of pet customization... Let´s just hope they bring that soon.

New costumes aren´t really game changing, as they only will change your looks, but they certainly are desired for some of the players like me...
Right now if you add a very cool Vet Costume Unlock to the game how many people will be locked off from it? I´ve started playing around 13-14 months ago, so if they add a new costume to the next Vet Badge I´ll only have to wait what, 4 more years? Oh yeah, so nice... Are you sure CoX will be here yet? (or even us if the 2012 DOOM is true? lol) Even If I hope this game will last for eternity I can not be that sure, and being locked away from something that cool for that long is quite annoying.
So... Yes for more costumes, no for them being connected to vet badges.

LOL... damn, that is just plain funny Pantless. You lurk the forums for opportunities like that, hum?

BTW... Did anyone, even the OP, took this suggestion seriously???? It´s a joke! My gosh, when everybody got so tighten up?

Edit: But actually the ripp off clothes could be fun... Only because open them up and make Clark become Superman would be even more difficult...

Well, all I wanted with my fisrt post was to see something happening in the game around story... And it turned out a discussion about the names of the enhancements (to wich I agree are quite difficult to accept in RP at some points).

No, to make any difference in what powers your Origins gets you is not what I want. Neither is having any advantage or hindrance for being of a specific Origin is not what I intended. Sorry if it seemed that way in my first post.

All I wanted was some more flavor on the game story, like in missions working around Origins. From what I´ve seen we don´t get much of that. There´s the early missions, the EATs missions and the Origins Badge arc... And that´s pretty much it. I wanted more of that so you don´t forget what you Origins means.
The Villain Groups have their own links with the Origins, but to the world itself it doesn´t make any difference. As an example my Rad/Rad Science is a proud Midnighter even tough he have absolutely NO connections to Magic at all, no questions asked...
I mean, of course I´m a Midnighter because I choose so, so I can give any reason I want for it, but there should be some concepts to work around you know? Even if only so you can choose to ignore them completely because your story needs you too. :-)

I agree that if you want to RP you can use your own origins to do that story flavor, but in what concerns the immersion on the game the lack of meaningfull things in the story of the world concerning Origins bothers me some. But never mind, with that explained I´ll just shut up and stop bothering you guys with my "cries and whinings" and work my own darn stories... :-) See you in the game.

Well, I actually tought I would get flamed... But as it turned out it might be because I didn´t express myself correctly.

Sorry, the bullets were supposed to be just examples... I don´think in CoX it should be EQUAL to any other universe, I just think they should MEAN something like they do on other universes. Like, being a Mutant or Magic origin would make any difference... Besides that lil´power and have to selll different origins enhancements ´cause you can´t use them.

I don´t want any radical changes like in Origins mechanics... I just want some more "flavor" to it. Some storyline flavor (that´s what I meant by story wise, sorry). You would think that after 5 years the would have made some storylines where Origins are meaningfull (besides that run-and-talk one where you get the badge...) I actually liked some of the suggestions... Begginer area being different, Badges, Missions... Things like that might make people try different Origins just for fun. Well, maybe not badges, making more exclusive badges might be a wrong move.

Well Memphis_Bill said what I had tought to say.... They don´t "fear" magic, just have some "weakness" to it. Again, a bad placed word. English is not my main language so at times I mess up, specially late at night when I usually write this stuff. :-)
