*Strolls in casually late*
Besides the things mentioned here:
- Customized Weapons and Power Signature Effects
- Trench Coats
- Super Secret Out of Combat System.(whatever that may be, I know I want it...at least I think I want it.)
- New AT's: Bow, Sonic, Quarterstaff, Dual Pistols...
- Player Bases
- Funky fruit hats & Furry Fruit Bats(make this happen!)
- New Stone and Ice Armor graphics(although I kinda like my Tankers Brown Boy and Cube)
- Improved SG screen(something along the lines of the new Seek Team Screen, showing level and location)
- Animalistic Costume Options
My 2 biggest pie in the sky, never gonna happen wishes for CoH happen to be:
- When you get PvP figured out, actually open a Super Lanes, or call it the Hero Bowl or whatever you want. Put it in Galaxy City. Inside have an Arena area, gladiator style with spectator seating just not as huge. Then have a first come-first served numbered appointment schedule where single or teamed Heroes could square off against each other. No debt. The victor gets to /emote for 10 seconds after the win then walk out , the defeated spawns at the enterance of the Arena area. You could even have a betting system.
Along with the Arena have an actual bowling minigame. You and your friends grab a lane, set up the order, then when it's your turn you click on the ball-getter thinger and the Bowling screen comes up first-person style. Something like those old arcade stand-ups so it would be twitchy which might prove difficult with online lag, which this whole thing would produce a lot of anyway. Or instance it. Have Primary Powers affect the bowling game ala Fire might burn down an extra pin, Ice might crack a pin to bits or weaken it, Illusion might make one disappear, Gravity might yank one out... something like that. Have the difficulty based off of skill first with a bonus for security level. So a so-so Level 40 hero bowling against a very good level 20 hero would have an advantage, but it's not such an advantage that skill couldnt overcome. Or the lower level Hero gets a handicap. Add a utility for leagues and a Powers/no-powers option. This probably isnt practical to implement technically or worth devoting manhours on something so trivial, but I wouldnt mind seeing it and this is a wishlist after all.
- My second lagtastic wish is to have Enhancement Vending Machines. Place them at the Rail stations or in the main public areas. Or for the love of all that is holy to you at Freedom Plaza in Kings Row. Allow one per City Zone(Atlas, Galaxy, Kings for Training. Steel, Skyway for Training and DO's. Talos, IP for DO's and SO's etc..). Players would be allowed to load 10 Enhancements only. Once the Enhancements are loaded they cant be taken back as to prevent the Vending machine from becoming a mule. Seller can however delete or replace any Enhancement. Prices can be adjusted by the seller. When an Enhancment is sold the Influence is automatically added to the sellers total. Price limits would be set. ex: You got a Lv.32 Single Origin Damage drop. In your Origin shop Lv.30 Damage Enhancements go for 30k inf and Lv.35s go for 36k inf. So your pricing window might be between 27k inf to 33k inf. The higher you go in level the wider the gap. As far as a story for why there would be Enhancement Vending Machines, I have no idea. Then again I dont know the story behind Enhancements.
You wouldnt get rich off the Vending Machines and it certainly wouldnt create an economy. What it would do is allow for players to get enhancements at those odd levels when the ones they have(if they didnt combine) yellow out and they cant equip the next level enhancements. Also it would allow the player to combine and squeek out an extra level of effectiveness instead of just dropping the new enhancement over the old. This isnt a problem at the lower levels as Training Enhancements are plenty and everybody can use them. My main is a Lv. 27 Mutation Scrapper using as many SO's as I can. I have gained bucketloads of Natural Enhancements. I can count the Mutation drops Ive gotten on one hand. Yes, I can go out streetsweeping certain mobs to get the right drops but I like doing missions.(Sorry, didnt mean to go off on a tangent there) This is just people helping people, i believe possible technically, and worthwhile in my opinion.
Anyway, there is my nifty wishes. Im rambling and its late(early?)
