If I were to make a zone out of the Zig, I'd make it a PVP Zone. Give the villains a special Black Helicopter that drops them off at the Zig with a pilot that explains the zone mechanics, Heroes go in the front door to a lobby with their NPC and entrance.
Like Recluse's Victory, players can control zones, and earn badges for capturing them. NPC Villains spawn in Hero-controlled jail cells guarded by RV archvillin strength Longbow (or other heroes), and Villains get rewards and badges for breaking them out and leading them to the flyer. AV strength NPC Villains also spawn in Villain controlled areas; heroes get their rewards by defeating these AVs (which converts thm into a hostage), and leading them back to the detention area. Of course, players of the other side attempt to thwart the recsues/arrests.
A new PvP zone? Just what this game needs, another zone 95% of the player base never uses, and another zone that will further thin out the few remaining PvP players which will make it even harder for them to find opponents.
/unsigned to making it pvp. -

Interesting idea. And I can actually think of a time I'd have used it (before the 'super-tailor" let us change body scales, etc. on each costume.)
Don't think I'd use it *now,* but I'm for it. -

All capes.
And I don't believe you can call TECH wings "furry."
Bane Spider Back Pack (I think it's the bane spider)
Magic Bolero
And I wouldn't even consider Valkyrie wings furry they look razor sharp to me. -

*edit* On second thought!
Let's do it a leeeeeeeeeeeettle differently. Let's go ahead and have the Vet Reward for capes and auras at the 2.5 year mark to auto-unlock them at levels 10 and 20 respectively. Then make the 5 year vet reward unlock capes at level 1 and auras at level 10, and then at the 7.5 year vet reward: Capes and auras from level 1.

I went thru those emotions when the ITF was added. I had a character concept I wanted to use but I was very unhappy that I had to level thru half of his career in order to get the proper costume. So I actually waited almost a year and created the character during the Valentines Day event so he could unlock the Toga set and have a costume that actually fit the concept while he leveled up to do the ITF.
They should have picked one of the variations of the roman armor and gave it to everyone as a basic costume set. -

Quote:Feel free to ask as often as you like but it's pretty obvious what path the devs have chosen to take on this issue.Originally Posted by MunkiLord
That's fine. But it doesn't do any harm to keep asking. So I still say if people want it that they should keep bringing it up. Over and over and over again.
When they first implemented respecs they gave us very strict limitations.
Trial Respecs - earned, up to 3 possible
Then they started giving us one for free when they made significant changes to a powerset.
As time went on instead of allowing us to pull more enhancements off of a build during a respec they chose to give us access to more respecs.
- Veteran Respecs - earned, up to 5 possible (at 69 months)
- Respec Recipes - free (These cannot be crafted if the character already has a free respec available)
- Purchased Respec - earned, theoretically unlimited
- Holiday Respec - free (These cannot be purchased at the Candy Keeper if the character already has a free respec available)
The message is clear. If we want to pull more than 10 enhancements off of a build we have to burn a respec.
If for some strange reason they decided to change their position on this I see them either reducing the number of respecs we now have available or making IO's soulbound to a character in order to prevent people from constantly doing exactly what the OP wants to do. - Veteran Respecs - earned, up to 5 possible (at 69 months)
-
It's more likely they'll simply keep ignoring it like they've been doing. And we know at least one dev has no problem putting forum members on his ignore list.
I think it was Castle that said he did that to a group of people that were annoying him. -

- And I'm coming to my main point : 10 slots for the enhancement inventory is too few. Also enhancements of the same kind should stack. It requires alot of time at the moment to move enhancements from one toon to another, when it could be much easier. Right now with the totally crazy prices on villain the market side, I find myself unslotting old toons to slot new ones, rather than buying everything from the market (hello 250M lotgs !) : it's really a pain to have only 10 slots for that matter too. Multiple respecs are needed to move the valuable enhancements, as well as alot of time you spend on tedious tasks rather than actually playing the game. Something like 3 rows of enhancements inventory would make things much better for sure.)
Is it Tuesday again already?
I was wondering how long it would take for one of the respec whiners to try to use the new email feature as an excuse to whine about not being able to pull more than 10 enhancements from a build at a time.
As IanTheM1 has pointed out the devs have already said they were being generous when they decided to let us keep 10 and they repeated it after the market went online. -

Automated responses are there to handle minor or routine issues that don't require human interaction to let you know they are aware of the problem.
Sending 6 petitions means you don't know how to act like a mature adult and follow up on a petition like you are supposed to do. All you did was create 6 documents that probably got closed automatically because you failed to escalate any of them up to the next level of customer service.
CS operators only run interference for other departments so they don't have to deal with morons. That way they can focus on getting their work done rather than stopping every 30 seconds to listen to some twit venting his spleen about not getting immediate satisfaction.Quote:I bet there r not too many petitions that let operators cant handle.

You mean the old "Stand around while the tank herds the map, a blaster nukes, and everyone walks off?" Probably because, off the top of my head:
1. it'd be boring as hell (as someone who started when that was standard, yes, I can say that, and that if it had kept going like that, I wouldn't be here now,)
2. you wouldn't have level 40-50 content,
3. you wouldn't have a ton of powersets,
4. you wouldn't have quite a bit of content,
5. no epics,
6. multiple missing zones,
7. only one costume (and *tons* of options missing,)
8. no bases,
9. no PVP (issue 4, two issues before COV came out,)
10. no villains,
11. no IOs,
12. no store markers on the map, so when you DO want to get your shiny DOs and SOs, you've really got to search again,
13. you can trade far less INF than you can now,
14. Double the debt cap, debt starting earlier, and actually mattering,
15. Running out of content at 37-38 and learning what grind REALLY means,
16. Old SK rules mean you'd better hope your exemplar doesn't lose connection or you get booted from a TF,
17. No inherents,
18. Limit of 8 characters per server, ever,
.... hmm, getting to be quite a list already. And I can keep going quite easily. Yeah, gee, I can see just *everyone* swarming to that. Then again, from the "read un-nerfed" comment, I didn't really expect any better.
- There was no Tailor/Icon store when the game was released
- There were no respecs
- There were no badges
- There were no Capes
- There were no Auras
- There was no Pocket D. There wasn't even a Paragon Dance Party at launch
- The Inf Trade limit wasn't raised to 99,999 until Issue 2
- There were no Global Chat channels
- There was no mission difficulty slider of any type
- There were no Supergroup Bases
I forget if players had to go thru each zone when they used the train to get where they wanted to go at launch or if that was only in beta.
Geez just take a look at the stuff that was added with each issue ti see how much the game has drastically changed since launch. - There was no Tailor/Icon store when the game was released

First off please excuse me if there is a thread for this. I spent 30+ minutes searching for it. So PLEASE don't post a link to it. LOL
Many of the things I would have loved to see have come to pass. One I would love to happen, oh I don't know perhaps for the 75th month (hehe) would be similar to the 60 month reward. The 60 month reward grants early access to travel powers- something everyone wants. What I would like to see for a upcoming reward would be early access to costume auras. After playing this game for soooooo long, I would truely appreciate this. This would make the journey to lvl 30 seem a bit softer for those altoholics like myself. Perhaps a reward allowing capes at lvl 10 and auras at lvl 20. Hell I would settle for getting both 5 lvls earlier. LOL
I would name it "Iconic" a homage to Icon and it has a similar ring to the other vet reward names.

Not a bad idea, but if I may make a small observation. You should repost this idea in the Suggestions section down below. This is player questions and the devs don't really bother reading things up here.
Good luck with this. -

Thank-you for your response. You bring up some valid points.
However, some of your animation numbers can be greatly reduced. For instance, a cat model would not have access to things like swords or axes nor to the Widow or Arachnos Soldier ATs. We're talking about a cat, *not* a catgirl.
I'm certain that, were the Devs to implement such a model, they would probably limit access to certain ATs. At the very least, certain powers would not have animations. An animal model *could* be used for a character with Dual Blades, for instance, but it would appear that the character is using their Dual Claws instead.
There's no doubt that it *would* take a good bit of animation and character model development time, but I believe it would be a very nice addition to the game. After all, aren't CoH/CoV known for a high degree of customization?
It'd be nice to have things like skins for cats, dogs, monkeys, etc. I believe that some current art assets could be used or modified.
Uh-oh . . . The OP's arguments are starting to take on a distinctive KittyCrusader flavor.
Unless the devs make a new epic archetype based on an animal skeleton you will never see them create a new skeleton that doesn't have access to all powersets. -
I think the closest we might get would be if the devs implemented new stances like CO has. The one I'm thinking of allows the character to run on all fours like an animal.

That would be so neat to have.
Step 1: Copy your wealthiest character over to test multiple times. (As many as necessary to get the amount of prestige you want.)
Step 2: Use one character to form an SG.
Step 3: Email your wealth to the SG leader.
Step 4: Trade the inf in for prestige at the SG Registrar.
Step 5: Delete the extra characters and repeat the process as often as necessary. -

To be fair, however, a search in the Going Rogue forums or Dev Digest would probably have netted you your answer. You can narrow the search by forum in the advanced search feature, and clicking on the "by post or by thread" box will help too, depending on how you like to see your search results.
This is not a snark, just a little fyi to help avoid future snarks.
Now, that coffee that KayJMM mentioned sounds pretty good.
I didn't say anything but my first impression was that the OP's post had a slightly demanding quality to it. My perception may be colored because in posts made by others that are similar to the OP's it turns out that had the questioner made the tiniest effort to do a search or look in paragonwiki they would have found their answer. -
