A Longbow Frigate GM in Nerva, it launches (spawns) Chasers and shots at villains with 20mm cannons.

Edit: "Cannons" not "canon", Yes, it shoots the Dev Hero one at us who points out why our characters contradict CoX canon lore and bans them.

We do have Hakama in game, but for men, they suck, for women they're too short, and we don't have a martial arts robe option that doesn't have the extra-fabric below the waistline for a "tucked in" look.
And while I do agree that Persian/Ottoman/Middle Eastern costumes would be nice (interestingly, my Japanese character would wear these because he's supposed to have traveled to an alternate universe like Ancient Persia), we can't say we have "too many East Asian themed" costume pieces already (because they're not that good), and you know what? THERE'S NEVER A SUCH THING A "TOO MANY COSTUME PIECES!" OF ANY TYPE OR THEME! WHOEVER SAYS SO IS A BLASPHEMER!

Also, I think we could finally get Haori for the robes if you combined it with the same effect from a Jacket Baron w/ vest where the rube beneath is part of the whole. Also, flared sleeves for robes like on the magic borelo and what Borea and Levantera have.

Problem is, it's a lot harder to get active people you can get a long with in an SG and keep them, Forbin.
I've had my SG base for a long time now and it's taken quite a bit of work to get it where it is generally there's only two regularly active people in the group at any given time, myself, and someone else.

Edit: Though to some extent you CAN just get one other person in your SG/use an alt account and fill the SG with alts... But still...

Besides, bases need more love anyway, if I could dump a few odd suggestions of me own here:
I would like to propose, since we no longer have items of power, that the SG base power and control primary units give an additional effect to SG members. I'm thinking a minor buff to def/tohit for control units and a res/dam for power units.
Starting from first tier they would grant bonuses that start at a 1% buff and go up.
This might encourage SG members to work towards helping their smaller SG grow, but at the same time the small but there buff that maxes at 3% (I'm thinking it should NOT stack for bases that can set down two power and control primary units) makes nothing to be overwhelming.
Also, these buffs would not apply when in a PVP zone or arena map.

Hmmm... Your ideas intrigue me, I would like to subscribe to your newsletter...

We can still have wistful thinking in this thread, right?

Because I'd love one where your character goes invisible and is replaced by a cartoony grave plot with crooked tombstone.

A shameless self bump to this thread.

Indeed it is. Usually when I play the arc, Nemesis spawns on that side, so I was hoping to get in with him, but it was still amusing.

Ouch.

Who else has done this before when they're on a team and know they can control when the cutscene is triggered and where it is?

Despite all his power, Lord Recluse apparently feels the need to keep a pistol at his side, but really, when you consider he still robs banks, he might just be a fan of old school villainy...

I finally figured it out!

Ever since I've been a member of this fine, outstanding community of CoX forumites the incredible abilities of the Paragon City civillians has been a subject of much joking and conjecture. We have at once both lamented and lauded their seeming invulnerability to attack, incredible leaping abilities and endless endurance (at least when it comes to purse tug of wars).

Well, at last I feel I am able to put this mystery to rest.

Every civilian in Paragon City is, in fact, a hero. Yep, that's right. Every one you see walking in the streets who isn't an enemy is actually a super hero in their secret identity.

Think about it! Clark Kent always has to play the bumbling, helpless buffoon when there are witnesses around! You see him cowering before a man with a gun, but the second you turn your back.. WHAM! Unconscious bad guy!

This also explains some of the wierd comments civies say. They're forever going on and on about how nice your costume is. That's because they're comparing it to their own! And that business about "I've changed my mind about capes." Has nothing to do with how they feel about super heroes.. you just helped them come to a fashion decision!

One good thing about this is that you no longer have to feel guilty about walking on by those people getting mugged or intimidated without helping. Rest assured that the moment you are out of sight the "victim" is going to make a miraculous come back.

In fact; I would hazard a guess that the only Non-Meta people in Paragon city besides the criminals are the Police. Kinda sad, huh?

No offense, but this isn't as funny as your usual posts, but that's just because this makes for a frightening amount of sense, still humorous, it just makes so much sense I forgot to laugh.

Not exactly the best way to convey your opinion, there.

[/ QUOTE ]
No, I figure that's the best way of putting it. The dance emotes look embarrassing.

[/ QUOTE ]

Though I will admit it was not by best bid for diplomacy.
Also, I did not know about the Tiki Lounge band since I, sadly, am not a Pocket D VIP Gold Member. But, good to know anyway.

[ QUOTE ]

Thing I want to see in Pocket D is zombie and Rikti invasions; were instead of attacking they start dancing.

Chief Soldier: "A Little Dance: Doing, A Little Love: Making, Tonight: Getting Down!"

(I do not consider these things pressing, I'm aware Devpower is limited, but I would like to see these things happen when or if reasonable.)
Pocket D's a nice place during the Winter event, and somewhat cool during the Valentine's day event, and really, the place has all kinds of neat potential that I think should be considered.

-To start with; let's get some different music in there, I'm not sure if the Devs can really spare the manpower for mixing original music (or remixing the currently used tracks) but maybe this could be where the player community comes it. But if not, hey, worth a shot, right?

-Move DJ Zero around and change his costume one in a while. Maybe we can occasionally see him out on the dance floor enjoying the club, having a drink at the bars, or even find him filling out paperwork related to running the D. (I know this might be tough since he's a contact, but it's not like you're being asked to scour an entire city zone for him.)

-Maybe add an outside balcony area to the D, or open up the roof to folks? Maybe a quiet, side cafe area, for heroes an villains who want to kick back a latte without the noise the main party. (Though I suppose this is what the Tiki Lounge is for)

-Add a villain exit/entrance to/in Cap Au. (This will probably be the most wanted thing on this list)

-A stage and an NPC band to go with them, either one for each side or one in the center and we'd get different bands made up of different enemy groups or sometimes just an original band.

-While not exactly a Pocket D change, more dance emotes, please? Preferably ones that don't make us look like retards.

-I would also like to propose the following events/changes to events:

Add an ice skating rink for next Winter Event? Really, it's more of the same "sliding floor" stuff, but who knows how fun it might be?

For the Valentine's day event, Pocket D is remodeled to look like a 1930's or 40's era Ballroom, because nothing screams "Romance" to me like ballroom!

A Summer event: Maybe have access to a beach zone like the skii chalet, have diavable water like in Cimeroran caves, watergun and water balloon temp powers, unlock swimsuit costume pieces (Not too hard to do that already for woman, but it's tougher for guys who don't have the boxer shorts vet costume award piece.), Summer event missions that involve fighting Arachnos and Longbow... IN SWIMSUITS! (Stop the Tarantula Mistress Bikini Contest!) Also, a Big Red Ball on the beach.

A Halloween event where the place takes on a dingy, abandoned warehouse or giant mausoleum look, all the NPCs are various monstrous or ghoulish enemies you'd see in the game. You would also go on a mini co-op TF where you fight losts of ghosts sand undead, at the end you fight Ghost Widow who introduces herself as "your host. Your ghost host" at the end you get the Badge Title: "Bustin' Makes Ya Feel Good."

Assassin's Shatter (Encaser them in Ice and the ice explodes, more visually appealing)


[/ QUOTE ]
I like your idea, but for a name I'd kind of think it would be Assassin's Winter or Assassin's Frost?

Spark Blade, just mother f-ing Spark Blade. He's so f-ing cool, lighting, swords, and guns?! (Oh jesus! He got trench coats before we could get them too!) Who does this f-er think he is? He's f-ing Spark Blade, that's who. We'll never get his powerset (he's badassery/SR scrapperbrutestalkerblaster x4 AT combo!), I'd love to see him in game, at least as a trainer or a contact, please make it happen!
And Rose Star can come to, she's kind of hot.

Also, I want to see more Flower Knight too, would love to team with her more, I gave her my global and everything before leaving outbreak, she never respond to my team invites, even when we got SK room, what gives?
(Me thinks she's the first to go rogue, anyone else notice how you can find her in both hero /and/ villain Ouroboros?)

Other heroes and villains I'd like to see more of? Let's see... More Midnighters, with their numbers bolstered by us PCs, I'd love for Mercedes Sheldon, Montague Castanella, and Ashley McKnight to join us (or fight us) once in a while. Also, Ouroboros as a faction, beating up Tesseract should be a coop thing, because let's face it, she deserves all ATs beating her down at once. Silos? Punch to the face! Pilgrim? In the grill! Twilight's Son? With a Quantum rifle! Roebuck and Lazarus? Meh, they're cool, so they only get a kick in the teeth.

Dark Assault:
1 Dark Blast (Ranged, Moderate Negative damage, Foe: -toHit)
2 Shadow Punch (Melee, minor Negative/smashing damage, Foe: -toHit)
4 Siphon Life (Melee, Moderate Negative Damage, Self: Heal, Foe: -toHit)
10 Gloom (Ranged, High Negative DoT, Foe: -toHit)
16 Soul Drain (PBAoE, Moderate Negative Damage, Self +Dam +toHit) or Dark Consumption (PBAoE, Moderate Negative Damage, Self: +Endurance)
20 Moon Beam (Sniper, Extreme Negative Damage, Foe: -toHit)
28 Shadow Maul (Melee, High Negative Damage, Foe: -toHit)
35 Tenebrous Tentacles (Ranged Cone, Minor Negative DoT, Foe: Immobilize, -toHit)
38 Life Drain (Ranged, Minor Negative Damage, Self: Heal, Foe: -toHit)

A while back I had tried to make a rogue Council Vampyre for a dom and realized we didn't have Dark Assault, a real shame if you ask me, so I cooked this up in my head for a while, and while thinking if over I see that the selling point of this set would be to give the player using it a bit of better duration than other doms by giving them two self heals, albeit accurate ones. And with most of it's attacks low damaging compared to what other assualt sets get, it seemed like a smart move to give them something to keep them standing a little longer. Soul Drain might make it a bit over powered, since it would send the numbers much higher, thankfully, it is a PBAoE on a squishy, so maybe not.
Tell me what you think, maybe switch the powers around, maybe swap some out with some others?

In this thread, we ask for new types of map tilesets in missions and for MA.
To begin with, this one is long overdue: Nemesis Base set! I was pretty annoyed when I did the Eternal Nemesis Arc and I was fighting Nemesis, in their turf, in a tech lab that looks far from steampunk! It was an outrage.
Next, Malta/Knives of Artemis bases, something more like the Malta base in Warburg Map. (I've only seen it through MA) A cross between the tech and warehouse, and docks for Malta Titans.
Also, maybe some Tsoo map sets, maybe some that look like martial arts studios where they train their men with tattoo parlors in the back.
In In a more general sense, perhaps another type of night/dance club map that's not just recycled from the warehouse. Industrial chic is not the peak of trendiness.
Also, maybe some hotel/apartment styled mapsets?

This is far from a pressing suggestion, but it would be nice to see in the future.
Feel free to add your own ideas for new map tile sets here and maybe someday the Devs will deliver these wonders to us.

Basically, the only benefit I can see out of this is so that way, when I get a touch of Nictus for a friend, I won't try to give it to them and embarrass myself to learn they already got it and slotted it.
*Facepalms* Boy was my face red.
So yeah, this might make gift getting/giving easier for friends, but it's hard to say if it's needed.

Energy Blade melee, partly because I'd want to see an energy/lethal set.

I was wondering why we couldn't for a long time, along with making truly flat females... But I realize now that it's because the Devs might now want to risk encouraging people to make MORE underaged characters than there are already.

RWZ could rationalize it as AE providing Vanguard a holo-training service.

[/ QUOTE ]
Exactly! That makes sense! But what doesn't make sense is that IT'S ALL THE WAY THE HELL OUT THERE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE BATTLE FIELD.

So... Maybe we could move inside the compound, maybe?

Okay, so waterslides, divable water, waterguns and balloons temp powers, a beach, Longbow and Arachnos in swimsuits, Pocket D. What else would this summer event idea need?

How about the Summer event enemies be Arachnos and Longbow... IN SWIMSUITS!
