A lot of things. So much that it's easier to list what grinds my gears about it. I know it sounds contradictory, but the fact is, the only reason I complain so much and so passionately about this game like I do is because I LOVE IT. I've met all my best friends hear, including the love of my life! How do you top that in a game?

So there you have it, my standards for City of are so damn high because my expectations of a game that's given me great memories and great friends is pretty damn high.

either way, higher level characters can easily get money from anything, given that rubies, sapphires, diamonds, silver, gold, and platinum are all 40-50 salvage drops.

As the topic says, when I checked my character selection today I found six new character slot redemptions waiting for me.
At first I was overjoyed and spent the first four right away, then I paused and realized I would not be getting any new slots with either my vet reward or any according to the I20 patch notes.
So i now tremble for the safety of my account for being at risk of suspension for bug exploitation. But since I'm not sure if it's a bug or not, I don't know about putting this into the bug files.

So can anyone confirm if this is a bug or not?

Well if we want to venture away from Nemesis, we could have the Legacy of Jules Verne's Captain Nemo still be alive and well in the City of Verse (Possibly in sort of a Dread Pirate Roberts manner), maybe heroes can join some scientists on a Journey to the Center of the Earth. (Just imagine: The Captain Nemo Strikeforce)

Delving into HG Welles, we can get time machines and Martian invaders. Even more interesting, instead of steampunk martians attacking Primal Earth, ther're the Martians of Praetoria and see Praetoria (being distracted by their shiny invasion of Primal Earth) as a juicey target on a rich world to completely blindside.

Well, in Guy's defense we do have a shred of evidence to support his claim, namely that requiem was considered a lap dog to Benito Mussolini than say, Hitler, or even 'Da Furher' or a (slightly) more obscure Nazi higher up like Heinrich Himmler who would have slipped passed the profanity filter.

And while lacking any ability to cite any official source, I heard one reason for the Fifth Column change/Retcon was because the original concept of City of villains would have involved you starting out as part of a villain group of your choice, and they were thus removed due to the unfortunate implications of PCs able to become, literal, neo-nazis. Ultimately though, that was scrapped and the Council appeared out of nowhere for pretty much no reason other than to give kheldians default nemesis group.

Troll Answer: To be king of paragon studios for life!

okay, now seriously, this is a tough question. Namely because it's next to impossible to know how or if any coding could get done in a day, or really just what can be done in a day at Paragon Studios.

maybe give new skins to lowbie villain groups like hellions and skulls as well as a few new members in their roster? this assumes the dev tool to make some new enemies isn't much different than the AE Critter creator.

some part of me thinks that stalker would honestly be a much better AT if Placate and Hide were also inherent powers.

Randomly, I think I'd like to point out that I actually agree with Golden Girl on the lack of jiggle physics for breasts. Now playing Guild Wars I've learned that JPHYX can be done in a tasteful manner that rewards the more observant perverts, but even if it was done on that level, I would still decline such a move for City of, simply because costumes for the classes that do jiggle in Guild Wars are the ones NOT dressed head to toe in stiff leathers or a metric buttload of iron armor but rather given to classes that run around in fabrics, but that is about the ONLY thing they wear.

Meanwhile, in City of Heroes/Villains/Going Rogue/Marcus Cole's Happy Happy Fun Time, a tanker girl can run around in nothing but her undies and bare skin while any squishy girl can don the full plate armors, and anything in between. This is not helped by the fact that certain 'armor' looks can also be found with a 'tights' equivalent, so while I can understand Miss Liberty jiggling with the odd storm kick, how in the bloody hell do we explain why the girl wearing the medieval plate as a tights option because she wanted one of the 3D chest details (which would also create problems with jiggles physics) bouncing in much the same manner?

Now what I would recommend is more realistic breast scales as well as the ability to make female character's flat, or at least a little flatter.

Now back on the top of the thread, three things i could change if I were to rub a magic lamp of the CoH genie would be as follows:

1. Massive Story arc updates and changes to account for the advancement of time in the story, as well as make them a bit more concise, give optional objectives, all those nice things other people have mentioned

2. Massive Environments updates, remove all the excess polygons from the rogue Isles, make the Isles feel like a self-sufficient nation by adding a few more zones, making existing ones larger, add an inter-island highway system and inter-zone transports. Meanwhile, let's spice up Paragon city, we don't HAVE to tear down the war walls, just make them look like they're Alien tech, mush City zones closer together, retcon some of the geography a little to make a bit more sense, have skyway city's highways sprawl throughout the city, oh, and here's an idea, MAKE IT LOOK LIKE A REAL CITY. Even if the Rikti war was, at the start of the game, two years ago, by that time all the rubble should have been organized into modestly neat piles or swept away, or scavenged by local villains.
Since they're environments too, lets have buildings and building/instanced map interiors that make sense! If you need to spice up boring office space interiors, put up barricades that can be destroyed, along with walls and doors that can be destroyed for the times that other things around you can't, have villains bring along portable, commercial grade security turrets and systems, or installed them, or maybe the hellions left some of their ritual and magic trinkets around the warehouse that liven the place up and we can actually see where they sleep.*
Yes, that goes for you too, Praetoria. I'm afraid your shiny, palette and texture swap office labyrinths failed to impress me, and no, putting more posters of Emperor Cole's devilishly handsome face up will NOT sway me one bit. But I will take that offer for the Enriche, thank you.

3. Massive upgrades to Subsystems, such as base building (especially base building), Mission Architect, and PVP. While I understand the Devs want to discourage players from seeing AE as the end-all to gameplay, it should still be treated as an equal of gameplay. Let us drop in cut scene captions, make allies say certain things at certain times, etc. etc.

And because like Lay's 'tater crisps I can't suggest just three

4. Massive revamping of old factions, both graphically, and in terms of power balancing. Because it seems weird that Malta is a spec ops group that stand around in Peregrine in BROAD DAYLIGHT WITH THEIR TITANS PORTING IN and despite all this, they have ZERO snipers, Or that hellions are an arsonist gang and yet only bosses can actually start fires. Hell, I've made whole threads on revamping factions.

*Blood Brother Brawler: My demon! Making this old linens and mattress warehouse our hideout was the BEST IDEA EVER.
Fallen Buckshot: Hell yeah! Hey, who wants to build a pillow fort?
Girlfriend From Hell: But the girls and I were planning to have a pillow fight!
Damned: No one's building any pillow forts or having any pillow fights until we agree on what color to change the curtains! Now for the last time, which is it? The Periwinkle, Belladonna, or Sea Green?

Hero-
(Story Arc) A Tale of Three Kingdoms: When the psychic powers of the clockwork king extend his consciousness to other worlds, he encounters other versions of himself, namely Metronome who makes a simple proposal, that they all merge as one and use their power to keep all Penny's safe from harm. And while heroes might be tempted to take him down, with Cole and Nemesis beginning to take interest in the Clockwork Princess his fears may be justified and you will have to defend the Princess from the Wrath of Three Kingdoms.
