So it's not just me!

I think they're called, Wing Chun dummy.

Now what I would like to see? Modern/LoTech style. (Like more the stuff you'd see in Counter Strike and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare)

*Storage:
Salvage Racks - Something like the current tech one, but maybe a lot more items and overcrowded, or maybe just a pile of scraps.

Inspiration Storage - A toilet. (Hey, admit it, some of your best inspirations came while on the john!) Just kidding, seriously though, maybe a drawing board with stacks of drafts of various kinds. (I'm going with the idea of inspirations being just that) Or going with them being something tangible; Maybe narcotics storage unit? (But that might push the rating up to M)

Enhancement Storage - A table with lots of munitions, weapon modifications (barrel extensions, silencers, scopes, etc. etc.), and handful of actual weapons.

*Crafting:
Enhancement Crafting station - A metallic workbench with assorted tools and half-assembled weapons.

Base Item Work Bench - Larger version of the enhancement crafting station with equally bigger and heavier duty tools. Maybe have an over hanging arch with welders and so forth dangling?

Empowerment(s) - Body Armor and weapon rack, starting with simple handguns shotguns and vests, moves up to include helmets, SMGs, and clear shields, finally ends with full SWAT and SpecOps outfits on the rack with Assault Rifles, sniper rifles, etc. etc.

*Power and Control:
Power Units - Start Up would look like a large backup generator sold in stores with a radio communication unit on it, due to the logic bomb of this it should deliberately look as haphazard as possible. The rest would all be progressively larger diesel electrical generators.

Control Units - First tier would be a desk with a radio communications unit, second tier would be radio communications setup with desktop computers, and third tier would be a gutted (Walls opened up, ceiling possibly removed, or maybe just have the interior set up put on the floor) Mobile HQ truck.

*Teleporters: Now this is pretty tricky, but possible ideas could be trucks or small helicopters. (Maybe raid telepads would be APCs or a Chinook) Another idea is have them be elaborate entrances to passageways (like sewer caps, hatches, or even Sliding poles into a black hole, etc. etc.) that provide shotcuts/direct links to points in the city or Isles.

I think that above covers it. I'd also like a steampunk and/or techno-magical themes too, but I'm not too sure how to cover those. Ta-ta.

A-ha! But with Going Rogue End-Game content can last for at least TWO weeks, since we will be able to run the content of both sides on one character, and more end-game content will eventually be added! plus, let's say you get all this through normal end-game content and you ask: "What now?" Well, just because you can't earn it in MA doesn't mean you can't play high level MA Arcs, or help you friends with their end game content.

...
No... I think I'd still be the boyscout Luke than be a Quadriplegic cyborg with breathing problems and tendency to kill loved ones and achieve only hollow victories. I'm not saying this is how it is for all villains, but it was kind of that way with Vader.

And personally, I think I'd rather be Statesman than Lord Recluse, that army of skintight-clad ladies? Practically trained to be frigid.
Plus, if I were States, I'd probably be hanging out with Positron and Manticore, they've both got cool toys and Incarnate or not, being a tank and getting Manticore's damage mitigating gadget (like glue arrow, oil slick, etc. etc.) would definitely be sweet.

Partly because it is. It's an Arachnos Soldier attack called "Pummel" which I love to use as a finisher on my SoA, even if it is weak, it suits his "Prisoners talk" style more.

Actually, it makes perfect sense, AE provides for the Vanguard soldiers both recreation and valuable training simulation tool, what doesn't make sense is that the terminals are not part of the primary compound rather than THREE HUNDRED FREAKIN' YARDS AWAY!

I have an idea about a possible way around this and there has been another suggested:

1. Have it so you can only pick one of the first two of any powerset as suggested above. So my katana scrapper would not be able to have Strength of Will but only be able to select High Pain Tolerance or Mind Over Body.

2. You may only select powersets within your AT range (whether or not Power pools should also be allowed is debatable). So my blaster would have to keep with her ancillaries and hover as her sole means of protection, but say I wanted to give her a technological edge, she could at least still pick up Assault Rifle's Slug power.

3. You can only select from a primary, this probably has the most holes in it just because what's secondary for some is primary for others (poor defenders, any of their power sets you can also get in another AT...), which might make it work better with one or both of the previous two. But this could mean I could give my Defender Deflection Shield to add to her impressive abilities for buffing.

A forth suggestion that I would highly recommend for this is that while this power should be considered a temp power, that way it cannot be buffed for greater effectiveness from outside powers or IO bonuses, also the ability for it to be lost if exemplared down below level fifty. These two would probably work best together, but just one or the other might work well enough.

All in all, despite Sammy's well worded argument, I still find myself leaning int the "for" column, if only because unlike him, I have not done all of the level 50 content on either of my fifties, I know plenty out there have not.

This suggestion still needs refinement, but with some work, it could be great. And to be honest I had thought of something like this myself, but it would have still used the standard EXP system and been a more automatic thing, so this beats the stuffing out of my old idea! I will keep an eye on this, but it has my approval

tl;dr /signed with a degree of reservation but with a large dose of optimism for the concept.

Cool, does that mean my katana scrapper can get focus and shockwave as katana powers as well as change his damage type to lethal/psionic or lethal/energy?

Too many magic-origin heroes of over demon-related.

Let's not forget that CoH still did it first technically, Mynx has a Belt Buckle with an insignia. "M" to be exact.

Ouch... Dude... You just hit below the belt.

No, you're thinking of Counter Guardians.



And heroes can have lots of their own fun, it's called beating the ever-loving snot out of villainous punks.
Or using their powers creatively.

You sure, looking it over and back, it really is the pinnacle of weaboo as far as a Japanese zone goes. (Though I can't remember if I was doing that on purpose/embracing the camp.)
