I would copy over a toon , but also start a new one so you get to see all the new stuff as well.

not 2060.201108020354.1
Though there may not be much of a change, in which case the "Essentially" may be bang on. -
Very nice.

Heaven forbid a trial require more of you than to stand in one place and push buttons.
Keyes is my favorite trial, because it takes some thinking.
The nature of these, for drops..and the grinding aspect of it, take away any joy in them. -

I'm expecting to get the 'I'd rather see x updated than this' responses. No matter, this is the suggestions forum after all.
Atlas and Mercy are getting a revamp.
So I think it's time to do something about SG/VG portals (don't worry, it makes sense in my head).
They are currently standing in 'odd' places and are a swirly mess of energy. That makes an annoying noise. All it would take was someone to tie Luminary's shoelaces together and tip her over and she'd be lost in some mystical techno-magic vortex.
I digress.
So, a SG/VG building per zone is required, imho. Where it makes sense, obviously. I'm not advocating a building slap bang in the middle of the Shadow Shards or Monster Island.
And in keeping with the theme of the zones, perhaps make each building reflective of where it is placed?
So a VG building in Mercy would either be dilapidated (if in the Snake-infested part of town) or a slicker, Arachnos bannered affair if located within the fortress/town. A building in Founders would have a luxurious feel, maybe a few Vanguard posters (owing to Rikti presence and VG portal presence).
Each building would have a SG/VG registrar, or 'superintendent'. Perhaps an insp vendor. In the case of TF contacts, Sharkhead could house Silver Mantis. Founders could house Khan. Just some examples of tidying up a zone.
This is more of a 'want' rather than a 'need'. It's true that other resources in game are being jollied up because they will be the focus point for new/returning players once Freedom/i21 hits. Perhaps attention is not wanting to be drawn to SG/VG bases owing to the fact that, well, there's not been a lot of love and I suspect there won't be for a loooooong time.
And my other reasoning behind a building that houses access to SG/VG bases is that when Praetoria was developed, there are buildings within each zone that have a 'story'. So when you're sent to Athena Labs, you are sent to the same building which just so happens to have an Athena Labs logo on the front.
I think that's neat and definitely the 'way forward' for future zones/revamps (ever noticed how Fusionette is always found in the same block of warehouses (that actually look like warehouses from the outside) in Faultline, as opposed to a random back door to a generic buiilding?).
Now if only the 'time capsule' building 'down the road' from City Hall could be built, eh?
But especially found it surprising you could't just exit base to any portal location since spread all over. Hence the reason for tp in base I guess....though would have made more sense if these were to reach zones without base acess... -

Sarcasm. It's not just for breakfast anymore.
Well if anything Freedom is certainly getting people talking about it. -

Being a Premium is a slap in the face.
Paying = Full Game, same as always
Premium = Most of the game free
If you don't like the limitations given for the free versions, pay for the game as always.
Yes it is frustrating that you cannot now just stop paying and play any toons you have, but be thankful that you can play any, without cost. -
To put it into perspective you have to take a look at the incarnate system as a whole. Is it designed to engage a player and build story and game lore? Or give a bunch of 50's sitting around something to put in a few month of grinding to unlock stuff.
It's one mission,1 30 sec story and farm for days per toon. The devs could have added new contacts with multiple missions unlocking Allowing each incarnate ability to unlock at the end same as ALPHA, told a broader story, and unlocked the trials as you unlock each ability. Then have rewards same as TF.
Trials could have been on a timer, and queued only to ensure there are plenty in pool. Though there are many ways they could have tackled the queue and still allow teams without this headache, but all involve treating them like a 1 shot per day deal instead of the repeating farm game play they seem to be encouraging.
They can't even free up a dev to go in and change a few values to change storage capacity from 30 to 100 etc.. why should existing players expect better.
FreePlay means new blood. A new player = Months of playable content.
They could have handled the incarnate progress much better. The IXP should be for the powers, to unlock instead of salvage. Following a power tree idea. Using power creates xp, then players can simply play there characters and get stronger not farm for drops for weeks, the same 1,2 now 3 trials. -
It is my hope that with this new store system etc that we finally get to access our toons from the web. There are a ton of MMO that allow you to access inventory info, costumes or other without logging into game.
Plus if we are getting a micro transaction system, it be nice to do these outside of the game client etc. -
All heroes/villians can't be equal in strength and power. There's always got to be those that are just above everyone else, I mean if Spider-Man was equal strength to say...Hulk or Juggernaunt, sure it be cool and all but if all heroes where all of that level, world would be destroyed very quicky. Might as well make all heroes equal to the Giant Monster classes too..
Sounds like some would like to see : Issue 17 - Death of Statesman (Don't see it happening) but might make for an interesting event where Atlas gets destroyed or becomes a hostile zone for a month with Rikti running the place, and the Citizens all become Rikti Citizens and Heroes attack them lol and the flag truly becomes his cape lol -
Can't be that bad, just use flashback for running for purples, got around 5 this week so... no complaints here. Well except maybe for the fact 2 were the same and all rest were different sets lol...still good for influence.
-
Just reran Free Statesman/Defeat Tyrant arc tonight and got me thinking, why does he still class as Archvillian, Reichman has his own class, others aswell...
If I were Statesman, one of, if not the most powerful Hero in COH, founder of all....I know I wouldn't stand by and let my name be linked to an Archvillian in anyway...unless??? hmmm -
Expect that there will likely be a number of people who wont know about the whole no cape thing until they show up, ICON contact in RWZ could get alot of business in a short time, maybe some should broadcast it a bit prior to raid?

Since a static xml dump could be done upon log off and allow viewing of this information at login screen, 0 information would need to be sent if that was the limitation. Or generated upon login if the system could handle it.
And as far as the server limitations of transfering data this is also easy, allow for 20 queued transactions from login screen / without them taking place until finalized, so again no information being sent and then queued for completion, wouldn't have to take place immediatly or in real time.
There are always ways to do things if the will and effort are there. -
I'm sure this has probably been mention, so if it already has, sorry but it should be mentioned again. When you login and select your various toons on a server it would be helpful to be able to check information about character without having to login in.
Examples:
Check influence amounts, check salvage, enhancements and recipes etc. Sometimes i have something stored on a toon and end up having to login / out/in/out trying to find the perticular toon, really frustrating and time consuming.
Plus it would be helpful if some basic account adjustments could be made from here, maybe a server global storage system, so you can swap items between chracters without loggin in. Since people trade inf/salvage back and forth now, I dont see this as game breaking, just would make the whole process less irritating, time consuming and remove the chance of all the abusers of this. Who steel influence/recipes or what have u.
Now it requires bothering a friend/sg member or a stranger and taking a chance, log in/out/in or trying to use Wentworths to exchange money, either through the use of selling and storing salvage or trying to buy cheap items at a much higher price and hope to not actualy give someone else your money. Since it is always going to happen, and the nature of oplaying multiple characters leads to getting items other toons can use that you have etc, I find it hard to believe this wasn't added to the game a long time ago.
Though if nothing else, if I can just see what each of my toons have without loggin in atleast that would be some help.
