For the Defeat missions, add a little variety by having a random roll with every defeat so that you might find the information you need before you get to the X one. I would put in a minimum (say about half of X) before rolling, but X should be the maximum.

You could RP the mayhems into anti-villain objectives. You're going to rob a bank, but you're only going after safe deposit boxes known to be owned by criminals. The objects you break along the way (which is fun!) are marked with a certain criminal organization's emblem; you could ignore certain objects, like the trash bins, cars*, parking meters** , etc. Btw, when Prohibition started in the USA you can see newsreel footage of lawmen breaking containers holding alcoholic beverages so it's not without a real life precedent.

* or destroy only certain cars, or cars of a certain color, or trucks on any one particular mayhem as those belong to some criminal element.

** unless there's a criminal organization who gets the proceeds from parking meters, but then you MUST destroy every single one. That could be the true objective of a mayhem mission, the bank robbery is just a cover.


I have fought Longbow with my "heroic" villains, but it's a staged attack that I've secretly set up with Longbow beforehand; my attacks are not as lethal as they may appear, the LB agents are secretly better armored against my attacks (they take damage, but it's more superficial), and LB treat it as a training exercise as well.

You do have to fool your contacts once in awhile, as well as Arachnos.

That's how you can tell who are the true role-players and who are the pretenders.

I do think it's a bit silly to convey congratulations for something so easy as gaining levels in CoH/CoV. Maybe do so at certain levels, say 20 because you can earn a cape (not really), or 32 because you can get your *cough* uber power, or at 40 when you've reached the endgame levels.

I offer condolences at level 50.

And I'd use my allowance to remove this lamest idea ever.

No it hasn't. I still hunt on the streets.

I'd rather see mission debt increased to outdoor levels, but then cry babies will probably whine about debt again. (So stop being stupid in missions and use tactics)

I hunt in zones most of the time these days. I've gotten tired of the same 5 indoor map types over and over and over... But I do missions or join teams on occasion. One thing I do is try to get defeat badges while I can still get XP/rewards from the mobs. I've completed that task with several badges but not all of them, I do however get a fair way towards some of them. Perez Park is a great zone for several defeat badges.

How will you get to Cimerora?

I've thought the same thing, as well as the existing zones are under-utilized in general. Certain areas almost beg for small "missions" or little events (examples):
- The Pit in Sharkhead could have a Caged Consortium guard & Lt. looking over the edge and clicking on the LT will give a short "fetch" situation: a piece of equipment fell down and is being played with by slags (clicking on the guard would give some sort of "uh yep, it's down there somewhere" type of NPC chatter);
- a kid's stuffed toy fell into the water in Founders' Falls and floated over to some DE in the wooded/grassy area, have 2 parents and kid near Icon so they're easily found, kid tells about toy floating away, a parent gives the mission;
- the Fort in Port Oaks begs for a mini-mission arc with a contact near the entrance (idea: tour guide, with a few tourists standing around her, is missing one of her tourists - find tourist, who wants you to find his camera, a two-part arc);

Placing these contacts near mission doors, stores, or other places that players generally go to would help players find the contact, but otherwise these contacts and missions are optional. Some could even give badges.

Heh.. one thing I thought of for a badge: do a "heroic" deed for a citizen of the Rogue Isles gets you a badge (say, "Hero for a day") and sometime later when you talk to Lord Recluse he congratulates you for helping one of HIS citizens (makes for good publicity).

I want to join your teams, seriously.

What he said.

I don't have 1 billion influence with all my heroes combined (might be close, though). MAYBE only one character is worth a billion in IOs (1 purple).

Same here. The gear does nothing for me.

They only need to be right ONCE.


My friends and I are playing DDO again, most, myself included, due to the free offering and one did resubscribe. We also get together to play PnP D&D once a week.

I still have my CoH/CoV account active, still play, and will continue to do so. I'd just want more content; or even better: different ways to be a hero or do heroic things. My villains want other goals to achieve than to be a "Destined One" *spit*.

Nearly every time I used it, the nearby enemy(s) of the pet going boom moved away from the pet before the explosion. After several attempts I got rid of the power at the next respec. I've never taken it again. It's too much effort for so little gain. The crash would the loss of the pet and the time to resummon and rebuff a new one.

There's nothing stopping you from doing that now.
