I'd rather see it get improved (ie...have some sort of hair added to it) before it went over to redside.

I think CoH/CoV players generally find team play more exciting, and the addition of PvE type maps and objectives would make the play more complex and interesting as opposed to the plain vanilla "assassination" or bounty type PvP scenarios we have right now.

An example of this would be to take a mayhem/safeguard mission map and convert it for PvP use. Live action, heroes vs villains, where the villains secretly select their objectives and go for it, while the heroes try to stop the villains and achieve contrary objectives of their own. There would also be PvE and timing complications for both heroes and villains, and both individual and team rewards.

Other PvP maps could include two teams (hero/hero, villain/villain, or hero/villain) starting at opposite ends of a NPC base and trying to get to an objective roughly at the center of the base, overcoming various randomly placed challenges.

If these types of design were to prove popular, I suppose it might even be extended as far as having an arc where two teams compete under different circumstances in each mission.

My biggest complaints about the set:
- No KB protection. I don't need to elaborate on that.
- Completely hides the costume! CoH is famous for it's costume creator, and this set just neuters it.
- Intense NEED for toggles. 4 toggles for defense, 3 offer some sort of Aura.
- Lack of decent auras: Damage vs. Endurance; none of them are worth it. Sorry to say.
- Dark Regeneration, as mentioned, heals for about 300% of your health. Would be spectacular if it mattered. :P
- Soul Transfer - Good idea, but we don't need more sets that have a Tier 9 that requires you to die.

• blueside:
  • [autograph session]
  • [photo shoot]
  • [journalist]
  • [groupies: female]
  • [groupies: male]
• redside:
  • [shakedown]
  • [mug]
  • [backalley deal]
  • [insight dissent]
  • [evil assistant]

These aren't costume parts or costume change emotes or even powers given to super-long-term vets. They would be fun, dumb character +NPC emotes. If need be, small bonus buffs similar to dayjobs could be attached to them. But not really necessary IMO.

Not many super heroes use crossbows in the first place (I can think of at least 3 heroes that use bow and arrow off the top of my head but none that use crossbows), and it would require a great deal of effort to come up with a completely new suite of powers (one for each power for each body type for each transport mode = ~81 animations for a single powerset (if I got the numbers right)), not to mention requiring new models for the crossbows. For a medieval inspired game, especially one that uses substantially fewer animations for each specific action, it makes a lot more sense to add crossbows than it does for a superhero game.
