I'd quite like a powerset that involves the use of disguise, or perhaps a power pool. Not necessarily a temp drop, although this one works more for me than your other suggestions.

This is a dayjob power already. I forget which one. Also Mind, Earth, Electric 'Trollers/Domis have mass sleeps. And there are a couple of other powers (which I forget right now) that do the same. I'm not sure if you can grab Sleep Grenade as a temp power from a Safeguard/Mayhem.

Very few missions have the old 'defeat mobs to find a key' element to them. Frostfire is the obvious one and I think there's a Clockwork arc at 10-14 which has a similar mission. Otherwise, not much in the way of need for a temp power, unless there were specific content designed for this kind of Heroing/Villainy.

In the AE this was not a feature because of the map's inability to determine whether or not the mob would be on the right side of the door to be defeated and allow the player through. So I'm guessing that special coding is used in the very few missions which use that feature.

We already receive tips from randomly defeating mobs that are level 20+. I think the suggestion is just flavour. There are a few Praetorian missions which have the option from a dialogue box of planting bugs on downed enemies, which for me works fine.

The Arachnos Flyer bug mission is another example - the contact actually gives you the bugs. No need for a separate 'temp power'.

The Game can't be expected to cater for every player's own 'take' on how things should be done. For instance, why would my psychic character need a Tip mission drop when he/she can sense that something is going to happen?

So there has to be a certain level of fudge to allow us to imagine for ourselves, and not be railroaded into a certain way that things work, and can't work otherwise.

And just in case there's a counter suggestion of 'give all psychic powered characters a special power to drop Tips' - what about my characters who are psychic but don't have a Psi damage power?

Screenshots work for me. And again, the 'tips drop randomly' thing If you want to believe that your character has taken a picture of something then go ahead. This won't stop the fun for you.

You can even create a macro called 'Bug' that fires off the appropriate emote and brings up the AFK message 'Taking a picture...' if you want.

Having pooh-poohed a lot in this thread, I wouldn't be surprised if I were forced to eat my hat though - with the new developments who knows what direction the game will go in?

My personal prediction if some of these ideas were implemented would be either a new AT with its own arcs that feature this kind of Detective work, or an amusing 'mini-game'.

I was going to post something then found this gem, which sums it up rather neatly.

I still want super powers, although as I get older they get more jaded and specific: i.e. Telekinesis to force people out of my way, or Flight to just get home after work. On bleak days the ability to make people's heads explode a la 'Scanners' appeals.

I'm going to second that emotion.

I was a little disturbed to see that 'Psyche is boobtastic in the Tutorial splash page.

C'mon this is 2011, and definitely NOT a Liefield comic. Psyche's supposed to be a woman of a certain age, an amazing psychic, and married to Manticore.

Large breasts and pr0nstar poses don't do it for me. Psyche kicking the *** of the invading Shivans does it for me.

Only because Psyche would mindwipe him in an instant if he suddenly had flying women with bows hanging around... my god that was my first fanboi...

Got information on that? I've seen another post from a red_name that said that buying for others would potentially be a public relations/custoemr relations nightmare.

Um, I tend to use flight/hover a fair bit in outdoor maps. Versus Hamidon in the LGTF I find Flight very useful...

But I understand why no powers when hoverboard/rocketboard/magic ironing board is in use. I mean if it looks good, sometimes that's enough.

I chuckled, a lot.

Had a debate re sexuality and a possible Pride event in Pocket D for Union, once. At the time I think there had been an event on one of the American servers, and the way I saw it (at the time) was I thought it would be neat to have a gay player event in-game for Europe.

Now I'd say 'no' on the principle of equality means equal treatment. Things change, including people.

I know this has little to do with the OP. Just felt like sharing.

Out of all your suggestions, this one hits me as something I'd actually want.

And if it were to be implemented, I would like to see removal of this energy/control nonsense. Storage would be limited and still generate a 'rent' but would allow the following:

Recipes, Salvage, Enhancements.

Give the apartments 3 basic sizes (Small, Medium, Large - shocking I know) and allow for 'windows'.

So another setting would be: Zone. The player can either have a view of something iconic within a particular zone (Atlas's Statue, for example) or a more generic Paragon/Rogue/Praetoria 'scene'. Yes this limits things like, for instance, having infinite varieties of window 'dressing' (such as a sky full of stars to suggest that the 'apartment' is some kind of space station, but I think it's worth keeping the 'scenes' to things we already know. It enforces the images in our weak player minds and keeps us playing (or something...)

The AE would have been a better system if not for the people who willfully abused it. Discuss.

Perspective is advised.

This is a really out-of-proportion reaction to something. There will be other events, levelling at 'twice' the speed will just have to happen some other time.

I'm just glad major problem/s is/are being looked at.

I'm not going to be free for the new proposed weekend, but I think I will live without breaking down.
