Agree 100%

Disappointed by this

Isn't there a simpler way to approach this other that the way the team is currently looking at it; like:

Just putting generic street sign graphics, assigning those coordinate lines X and Y (as opposed to points X,Y) a name in the database and utilizing a mouseover or right-click to bring up a street name bubble from the database?

At least for major streets (acknowledging that street design in many areas of CoX are haphazard at best (especially redside; which is probably another reason that redside has that slapped together feel).

A plausible street system can open the door for whole new mission types like scavenger hunts, neighborhood tasks, etc. Could add realtime and approximate APBs, Amber Alerts, Code Adam's, etc to blueside.

Speaking of Redside, how about some additions to the landscape (where applicable) that show the effects, byproducts, waste and damage caused by the PTS?

(And still would like to see undersea caverns or access tunnels (even some ultra secret/forgotten travel line) connecting redside zones); who knows... attach it to a Corolax storyline.

More 'water' types - there's an Arachnos map that has a major cavern room with a drainage pool of green liquid (waste product?) at the bottom... can this type of detail be spread to other areas of the Rogue Isles (non-instanced); reflective of the influences that have the most impact on it (sci waste, CoT/BP sacrifices, Devoruing Earth reclamation, Corolax shard presence, Port Oakes shipping industry, etc).

ATs are being proliferated; no new ones.

Good stuff. Expand this into ambiently highlighted pedestrians (non-morality type stuff) and we're gravy.

This is the way I felt about the Flashback system (and said as much when they brought it to the table). I think they should've brought in more solid 1-50 storylines; like they did with the EATs (for Origins and Patrons as well as not dead-ending the potential Matthew Burke counterbalance to Operation DESTINY) for the standard game and being able to unlock 1-50 storylines for Cimerora, RWZ and other pivotal locales (similar to what's being done for Praetoria).

Now that we're getting the 'choose your own adventure book' mechanic filtered into the game; they should use it for more than just the morality meter.

I would hope to see them use it at some point to help polarize characters' standings with the many sub-factions within the game.

[Or to create/define Contact paths]

At some point, CoX has to grow beyond just pretty colors and button-mashing.

IMO

My original problem with EPP/PPPs was that Heroes automatically got them while Villains had to jump through a few hoops to get theirs. In that regard, now there's parity.

As far as hero pets go, until we know what the Hero PPPs and the Villain EPPs are, it remains an unknown factor and can't really be considered a focus point at this time.

That's fine but irrelevant to people wanting options... and that's what the game is trending towards; more options (as it should). Does it really matter what the differences behind the implementation were? To many, not really. Sure Epics were made to cover holes and PPPs were more for flavor, but that's not really the point.

A player can have the best archer in 3 known dimensions but there's just this one technique that eludes him/her. Or the best sword-arm on the planet... that desires to improve his game by learning from a potential teacher how to get the materials needed or the crafting knowledge to create that weapon that somehow makes the average swordsman plow through those that would normally best him.

Or maybe the character is looking to expand into abilities other than their mastery of bow and sword.


Adding EPP/PPPs isn't much different than the way they've staggered additional powersets to ATs to cover [and sometimes creating] concept or balance gaps.

Now, they just need to do the same with Cimerora.

If not for players, then definitely for NPCs... in general; any idea suggested here that cannot be implemented for players; currently, please think about applying them to in-game and MA(AE) NPCs. (And then, whenever possible/feasible, filter them over to player characters)

Yes. (Enforcer 2)

Female, yes. But the face detail is Cyborg 2. I also made her rail thin.


As far as the coloring, I did the blueish-green skin and opted for a lighter blue for the bio coloring Going with a lighter shade of a similar hue can help the glow effect; there's a trick with the auras you can do as well).

My posted pics aren't high quality so all of the gory detail doesn't come out as crisp as it may be when you're seeing it in the creator on your screen.
