Ok, so I know this is a very old issue, but Tyrant (being that he is the anti version of Statesman, who is "supposedly" stronger) needs to get a very powerful upgrade. If it doesn't happen with Going Rogue it needs to. The guy is possibly the biggest joke of the Praetorian AVs in being that if he spams his explosive Laser BEam Eyes you're not going to leave that fight with much more than a laugh or two.


My ssuggestion for fixing him would be

-Giving him the Hammer of Justice power that Statesman has, yet, just like good ol' States, he wouldn't use this until about 35% health.

-Allow him to cycle through melee and ranged using the same code the Bruiser has (if that's possible)

-Giving him Nova (This one I just kinda wanted to see because he could use an AoE, and plus it feels Tyrant-ish since he lacks Foot Stomp like Statesman)

-Dare I say it, giving Tyrant Build Up. (This is crazy and is probably just the inner "zomg a beast of an AV!" call coming forth")

-Giving Tyrant access to more Invulnerability powers if seen fit. A couple examples would be Unyielding and Temp Invuln. The greatest fit would be giving Tyrant Dull Pain.


That's all I've got basically. It's just a shame to see a "powerful" AV that's actually laser eye beam toting weirdo that's also a megalomaniac and stalks Statesman. The devs probably already have a fixed and hellacious Tyrant in Praetoria for Going Rogue, and if so then it's been long overdue.

I have one


A Hetacomb recipie dropped for me two days ago.


DOOOOOOOOOOM

Use Dual Blades, it works that way.

This most likely will not be happening. All MM pets are given custom skins and skeletons. And since this ability is coming out in an expansion I'm absolutely sure it will be custom all the way through (also because re-using existing characters from the game is a little difficult since some have limited attacks, and also because that's extremely distasteful).

Power Customization is (possibly) a ways off, or maybe not going to happen anyt ime soon.

Hey, I could be wrong and it could be in the Rogue expansion.

If I had to choose anything for lightning, then it would be Greased Lightning, the best kind.

Statesman Lightning

Politically Incorrect Melee

And Comically Insane powers (Imagine the joker hyped up on energy drinks while being bestowed upon him the ability to do the most odd, unusual and sometimes completel out of the ordinary things).

Thugs/Pain can tank if you take Provoke.

In fact, it can tank very well indeed.

Here is what I am hoping we see in the future:

- A personal nemesis system. A tailor made bad guy that levels alongside you would be such a great fit in the game that has a reputation as the most customizable MMOG out there.

- Go beyond Paragon to other locations. I always loved when the Justice League went to a foreign country and had to deal with the foreign bad guys (and good guys usually too). I think this would be a great expansion. You could use it to incorporate new cities (an Asian themed city would be great) as well as a Moon zone and an Underwater zone. I think NCSoft even has a good name for it already...

- Vehicles. Some classic superheroes have vehicles as an essential part of their identity. Batman would not be complete without the Batmobile.

- Apartments/personal superbases. Bases are so underused as it is, lets give everyone the opportunity to make a base regardless of the size of the SG they are in.

I see what you did there

At least ours can use Lightning &gt;_&gt;

Prepare to be mindfreaked

No, but, seriously...things are about to get WEIRD. MMs with Tanks, Stalkers with Blasters, Blaster with Brutes, Brutes with Defenders, Controllers with Dominators, Dominators with Tanks, etc.

5. Nemesis system

[/ QUOTE ]
This one confuses me. You build an enemy, know intimately what they are capable of and how to beat them, then "face" them multiple random times in missions. How is this not going to grow boring after the first couple of encounters?

[/ QUOTE ]

This is why I feel that the Architect system is far better for this kind of thing, provided that you have a friend that can write.

Give your friend the details (what the nemesis look like, background story, general powers), and let them work up the stories in which you meet your nemesis. This way, you can still be surprised. I'm pretty sure that no computer generated algorithims can capture exactly how you expect your nemesis to speak and act, which is why another human being is almost required in order to do your nemesis justice.

[/ QUOTE ]

If I was designing a "Nemesis" system for CoH, that's how I would do it. You could roll your own if you want, but I would add the ability to delegate that ability to someone else in the game (voluntarily, of course). For me, designing your own Nemesis is like designing your own death trap.



Of course, my main concern with regard to any "Nemesis" system in CoX is the vast number of them that would end up being called "El Guapo."

Power Customization
War Walls torn down

I'm with Zekiran though: I'd love for them to take a break from the shiny and just polish this baby till it glows. There are a LOT of long standing bugs, zones that need revamped, contacts that need reworked, systems that "work" but could "melt face" if they got some attention (CoP and base raids, and bases in general). I'd be willing to wait through a whole issue of completely QOL/revamp type efforts before seeing anything new and ground breaking.

Issue 17: Urban Renewal

I, too, would LOVE to see Boomtown/Any zone cleaned up/polished, rain added in, rolling clouds that casted shadows, and possibly even new Giant Monsters added.

Which brings to mind adding Koago as a Giant Monster for the Hallows.

Yay! It is on the forms now. On a site it said something about getting to level 60, changing the color of our powers, going to the moon. I hope this comes when I am on summer break!

I'd hate to burst your bubble, but level 60 is not happening. If you read that closely you would see he said enhancements that bring us to a hypothetical level 60.

Which is probably going to make my bubbler even happier.

So, City of Heroes/Villains has been getting better and better with each issue (for me anyways), and it seems our developers can push forward new and exciting content that we once thought they would never attempt.

With this turn of events (I.E. Going Rogue) I am beginning to ponder the next step(s).

First came Architect, a revolutionary system; the first of its kind. Originally I thought player created content was a dead-end that no one, especially not this MMORPG, would take a swing at. Well, the CoX developer team made one hell of a home run, and I am pleased with the system they have released.

Now, with possibly the most groundbreaking expansion looming on the horizon, this brings to mind one thing: What will they do next? Seriously, if they can add in side switching, an invention system, and a massively popular Story Creation system than what could possibly be the limit for this game now?

In short: The game has evolved beyond anything I originally thought it could be, and this has literally made me smirk with enjoyment. Now I am on the edge of my seat thinking if they'll do Power Customization or Power Coloring, or even a personal enemy function.

With devoted developers I feel as though the sky is the limit for CoX, and I'm happy to say it seems like smooth sailing from here.

But really, what do you expect/hope to see in th e coming future? Could it be several new power sets? Possibly even a new city entirely?? Or a mix of brand new travel powers?

I'd like to hear some opinions on that matter, especially since several of you have some rather interesting predictions!

This brings one thing to mind....

PvP is about to hit the fan, literally.

Gonna be strange to see people using hero sets Vill side in Bloody Bay, Warburg, Siren's and RV.

Unfortunately the Devs themselves are happy with PvP.

I frickin KNEW IT!

I told a few people they would make a Rogue expansion on Infinity in 06 and BAM!


MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!! I WAS RIGHT!!! I WAS RIGHT ALL ALONG!!!


VICTORY IS MIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



P.S.

Cool, expansion

So, who remembers trying to take down my nigh invincible Amy in Pocket D?

Lol

As the heavy would say

"Cry some more!.....Cry some more."


Now the AE is fixed and working as intended.

Bah, I'm content with what we're getting. Besides, it's not happening even if you did want it to. Wait till i16 when we get Demon Summoning and Dual Pistols.

(Because Halo just isn't enough you have to have it in your MMOs, too)

I wonder who got in to Open Beta? I heard it's even harder than you could ever have imagined this year.

I didn't get in to closed beta

Oh, and I agree with the post entirely, but the chances the devs will care to se how they screwed up once again will be declined.

I keep getting the feeling this is turning into the NGE crisis, yet only with PvP.

I think it may be a few issues before we see any improvement.
