by "nemesis" i actually also meant council and the like that are found in cimerora. :P

Something like "i24: Time-Warped; Looking Forward to the Past" happened?

And there would be 2-3 new maps + arcs that gave the story, new powersets? eh? eh? eh? New, Purchasable ATs [ok i know those are a stretch...]

Hhhhok let me explain. Ourobouros folks have new information about the coming storm which is just about here. In order to preserve humanity, you must travel back in time to retrieve artifacts, stop evil plots, alter the past to help the future.

New Maps:
*Pangean Basin [Map with dino critters that are built on the bipedal frame but tweaked/cheated like arachnos spiders and demons. who cares if they arent anatomically correct dinosaurs... they'd be DINOS! ] and in stead of silly perimeter just have a giant steep un-climbable rock wall [hence basin.] In the center is a prehistoric humanoid village, a volcano, fun dino stuff like that. [Think... Savage Land] and throw in a little Nemesis. Larger map. giant trees.

*Island of Honor [WWII themed map] a military island with some civilians. and again, more Nemesis, Crey, Some Arachnos, fun stuff like that. Also have a GMonster that is like... an ocean titan displeased with the war upsetting it's slumber or something. Smaller map.

*Future Desert Map [After mankind destroys itself type thing.] Basically a desert with a small fort of surviving humans + robots that must always keep the 'mutates' away. Mutates = Arachnoids, Snakes, other desert like critters. lots of tunnel missions.

New Powersets:
*Animal Control [with customizable options: Wild Animals, Mythical Animal, Dinosaurs, Shadow Animals, Elemental Animals - all the same frame just different skin/aura] mostly like... animal runs out of shadows to attack target, then runs back to shadows, and a few lasting pets for top tier powers.
*Lizard-men or Beastly-Warrior MM Pets
*Rock-Behemoth MM pets
*Force Field Assault/Manipulation [for blasters/Doms secondary]
*Multi-Weapon Arsenal Assault/Manipulation [^] [Sword + hand axe + shruiken + other]

OK and here's where i'm sure ill get the most "THAT'S SILLY AND WILL NEVER HAPPEN"
Purchasable AT's. Now I consider these ATs to be - Obviously Particular to this issue, and will start in Ouro with a new contact sending them to these particular places. for the first couple mission arcs. But hear me out. Basically these are combinations that dont exist or are tweaked versions of existing ones. I know they might never happen... but I think this whole package would be fun and wouldnt be so bad. I'd love to play as some of these ATs.

"Kamikaze" - High DMG, Med HP. Primary is Meelee [Special with DMG+ when HP is low, Special Ultra Mode power that ends with some sort of self destruct after 20 seconds of superior dmg. Special Taunt Power] and then Secondary is a combo of Assault/Manip consisting of Ranged/Control/ and auras

"Guardian" or "Combat Medic" - Low DMG, High HP. Primary is Buff sets tweaked with first two powers being ones that do dmg [for obvious reasons] and secondary sets are Self Def sets similar to stalkers with Hide being primary and Placate being thrown in there. with auras for holding aggro. Obviously made for teaming.

"Field Support" or "Assistance" [i cant think of good names.] - Med DMG, Low HP. Primary is Assault/Manipulation set and Secondary is Buff set.

"Snipe Master" [ranged equivalent of an Stalker] - High Dmg, Low HP. Primary is Ranged attack, secondary is Control.

"Commander" - High Dmg, High HP. Primary is Buff set and Team Support [i.e. incorporated leadership like SoA] secondary is Pets [but without MM auto because of HIGH hp, and instead has an auto power that gives +def to pets and teammates]


ok that's it. {bracing myself} whaddya think?

i keep asking for whips to be ported to an Epic Pool.

That way, they dont have to make new animations and it can be given to most ATs immediately. You have: 3 whip animations, the Ember Shield Buff power, and any of the Demon's hellfire powers that you can use to complete the "Hellfire Epic Power Pool" set.

C'mon, how easy and [at least immediatley] fulfilling would that be?

INSTANT GRATIFICATION! eh? eh? eh?

Hey so i have these two set ideas. [Is this the right place to submit them?] tell me what you think, or how it might be better.

For blasters/defs/corrs i have this power set: AEROBLAST!!!: [in correct order, to compare with other blaster sets. will need some new graphics but not all.]

*gust - low dmg ranged click attack, usual [new graphic]
*zephyr - like gust but moderate dmg ranged click attack, usual [new graphic]
*sharp draft - like gale but useful cuz of Moderate Dmg, cone, kb [Gale Graphic]
*jetstream snipe - extreme dmg, long range, usual [New Graphic]
*aim [Usual Lame Aim Graphic]
*sandy breeze - like gale [w minor dmg - kb] but diiirrrty. -acc or stun [Gale Graphic but with crap flying in it]
*funnel flurry - toggle, AOE, moderate dmg. special- reduced speed fly, or if already flying/hovering +flyspeed. foe kb. [use the graphic of tornado but have under player as if keeping him lifted/propeling him forward and knocking back foes.]
*summon cyclones - [like scirocco's devils] summons 3 cyclones that last for a while attacking your foes. [but with the graphic of the water spout made to look more like wind [basically no blue in it].]
*tempest - extreme dmg end draining super gust pummel AOE attack. usual [use altered whirlwind graphic with down drafts]

Ok, for MMs i have two great and easy set ideas: Angel/Celestial Beings and Tuatha-like Swamp Beasts. both relatively easy to pull together.

-Angel Pet Set [if you can bind demons why not other celestial beings?]
*sonic attack sm
*tier 1- 3 Angel Warriors with sonic attack and sword attacks
*sonic attack med
*equip
*sonic attack cone
*tier 2- 2 smaller Cherubs with bow attack and storm support
*"Blessing" special pet buff, +dec/res, +acc
*tier 3- 1 Angelic Guardian with sonic attack and fire sword attacks
*upgrade
[OR you could use the awesome Wind Blast set i suggested above with this MM set instead of all the sonic. see above.]


-Tuatha type Swamp Deer Creature Set [slower but sturdier pets]
*entangle [plant immob]
*tier 1- 3 tuatha small [can use tuatha as starting point then make more swampy]
*throw tree stump [dont the tuatha have that power? and redcaps?]
*equip
*swamp wave cone [or like bile spray cone would work]
*tier 2- 2 tuatha large [ditto]
*Carrion Creepers [extra random power that sorta fits]
*tier 3- 1 hyper swamp beast [uh huh] with swampy tuatha-like attacks, throws 'spines', and lookes like a giant swamp ent thing with sticks and moss and swamp junk everywhere.
*upgrade



so whaddya think?

ok ALSO:
For Doms and Blaster's Secondaries:
-A Spear/staff/trident and sword combo set [like cimerora guys but fleshed out] assault set [there MUST be a way to use current animations and powers, right?]
-A short sword or small hand axe and dagger combo set [just small meelee swinging blade of some sort] set
-stone and thorns ported to blasters

and also maybe for MMs [potentially the easiest to make, i feel by compling curent ingame sets and NPCs.] police, witches, and maybe mage/druids.
-MM customization [lots of zombies, demons, ninjas, and thugs in-game already, let us swap appearance of pets like we can weapons!]
-secondary sets for Blasters and Doms with customizable weapons, or milti-weapon set.
-maybe an introduction to a water powerset[buff, control or meelee], animal control [customizable critters with forest, light, darkness, fire, aqua, dinosaur]
-couple more power pools [saw a good list on here somewhere, but i just wanted to add size-shifting/shape-shifting]
-a couple more epic power pools. like whips. a great way to share them without the ugly/bulky demon pets. easy port. archery for meelee ATs. swords for ranged ATs.

ok ive said a lot.
feedback?

im just postin what some guy on fb said, cuz i like his comment:

"Not all of the servers are dead, this is true. However, it's also true that this game is in fact dying. I've been playing City of Heroes for years, and while they've added a lot of new and interesting things, over time i've noticed t...hat the servers have slowly been drifting into the green zone on a regular basis.

[ok here's the part i like!]* I think the developers need to stop beating around the bush with the Incarnate system. The City of Heroes team seems to release content slower than most other MMO's, and that's a disappointment, because City of Heroes has such huge potential to be even greater than it is. They need to stop all these random packs, trying to suck money out of their dying community, and start releasing large content patches with free costume pieces, emotes, and special powers." - a comment on the bird picture.

also now that i think about it some more, how about a "Hellfire" epic power set.

you have three whip powers to choose from, throw in a shield/self buff, and then you have the demon pet's hellfire attacks to choose from, or ember shield team buff would be sweet.

shouldn't be difficult at all, would be great for almost all archetypes. i love what you've done for the whip and it could go with lots of my toons as an epic pool [esp my fire/storm troller!!!] but the demon pets are too bulky/noisy/plain ugly lol.

woot power prolif!

oh i also wanted to add:

the animation for dual pistol blast to be added as an option for MMs dual pistols. please.

also, for blast and dom secondary:
-besides the above mentioned sword/axe or spear/staff, a sort of multi-weapon option with crossbow or regular bow[more for dom since blast already has bows], and small daggers/knives. all of these can give a good meelee/ranged assault/support set. and most of this is already in game ready to be ported into a set!

weapons for other archetypes!!!!! flame sword is cool but not enough to keep me happeh

thanks again!
david

Im not sure where to post this exactly, since some of it is new power ideas too but for Power Prolif I'd like to see:

For Doms and Blaster's Secondaries:
-A Spear/staff [like cimerora guys but fleshed out] assault set
-A sword or axe [just swinging blade of some sort] set
-stone and thorns ported to blasters

For MMs I came up with two sets. Both relatively easy to make:

-Angel Pet Set [if you can bind demons why not other celestial beings?]
*sonic attack sm
*tier 1- 3 Angel Warriors with sonic attack and sword attacks
*sonic attack med
*equip
*sonic attack cone
*tier 2- 2 smaller Cherubs with sonic attack and storm support
*"Blessing" special pet buff
*tier 3- 1 Angelic Guardian with sonic attack and fire sword attacks
*upgrade
[OR I also came up with an awesome Wind Blast set that would be great with this MM set instead of all the sonic. see bottom.]


-Tuatha type Swamp Deer Creature Set [slower but sturdier pets]
*entangle [plant immob]
*tier 1- 3 tuatha small [can use tuatha as starting point then make more swampy]
*throw tree stump [dont the tuatha have that power? and redcaps?]

*tier 2- 2 tuatha large [ditto]

man i am so creative you should hire me to help you all think of sets. go ahead, ask about my animal control set that will knock your socks off. it's easy to customize and totally works compared to other control sets.

thank you for your time! hope to see this soooooon, and not just forgotten.
-david

would it be possible of giving us a 'Lance/Staff' powerset kinda like the Reman Centurians with stabs and javelin tosses and arc-slashes?

that would be so freaking awesome. of course, left handed PLEASE so we can use shields with it. and lots of customization options too.

thanks!

I WISH DOMS GOT PAIN DOMINATION TOO IT WOULD ONLY MAKE SENSE!

and maybe blasters get shields as second pool? eh? eh?

[ QUOTE ]
Here's the thing I want to know: With power prolieration, will there be new Epic Power Pools for Heroes? I could see the following being added in I13:

Blaster: Mental Mastery
Mass Hypnisis
Mind Over Body
Indomitable Will
Telekinesis

Controller: Verdant Mastery
Impale*
Armor of Vines (Personal Toggle: Resist Smash Lethal and Toxic)
Thorntrops*
Fling Thorns*
*= As per Thorny Assault

Defender: Frost Mastery
Chilling Embrace
Ice Sword
Frozen Armor
Hibernate

Scrapper: Pyre Mastery (As per Tanker)
Tanker: Darkness Mastery (As per Scrapper)

Just thought I'd ask/suggest. Take it as you will.

[/ QUOTE ]

oh man Armor of vines should be kind of like granite armor except it would make you look like an ent!!! thatwouldbesocoolomg.

and blaster 'Mental Mastery' with those powers would be absolutely perfect!!!

im looking forward to Stone/Earth support/meelee for blasters and doms, and electric control for trollers and doms. and maybe an elec buff set that gives shields like elec brutes have mixed with a few elec effects like field and hold or stun or two.

and thorns or spines or even a customizeable weapon for the blasters and doms support/meelee. lots of potential.

im gettin excited just thinkin about it.

wowie.

let me preface this by saying VEATS rock and i dont want them changed, only expanded.

but... i did feel a little jipped out of Completely New VEATs because so many powers just cross over unlike heroes whos EATs have completely different powers only the EATs get. and sure a widow has psy [dom like] and claws [scrap like] which is a unique combo but eh i've seen it [almost] all before [arachnos spiders do have pretty cool attacks tho]. and with patron powers you can practically summon a pet of yourself which is kinda like... O_o

but still VEATS are wicked awesome and i love them and special costume parts rock. I just wish VEATS in a later issue would be expanded to include MU or Coralax/Guardian. that would be cool and kinda [maybe] make sense.

just a thought.

i know it has been mentioned a few times, but i thought i'd add my idea...

travel/aid power pool:
"Animal Aid"

'Hawks Eyes'- Enables ally enhanced Accuracy and Damage potential [graphic is a small hawk circling ally]

'Panther[or something] Call'- summons a medium[somethin,i thought 'large cat'] that basically junges from off screen or punces down onto target scratches a little, then bounds into shadow, moderate damage, stun

'Summon Horse[or unicorn]'- allows for faster travel, higher jumping, def bonus, but player limited to ranged attacks

'Summon [Eagle/Pegasus/Dragon-something big that flies]'- allows for flying travel[possibly with teammate?] and gives def and res bonus, and intimidates/causes panic. player limited to ranged attacks.

whadya think?
