Good stuff! Sifting through the forums I found this thread and it's pretty amazing.
http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showt...nk#post2700847
A few incredible images from that thread:
Teleporter Pads (beats the snot out of the default options we have)
Time Machine for Crystal of Ice and Flame:
These screenshots are from another thread and are of a nice Victorian Library, although I would probably change the lighting and wood tones, it's pretty awesome nonetheless!

Check out the Adventure Brigade base that we're in a coalition in. They have a few really nice rooms. I don't see ours being a verbatim copy but could definitely provide bits of inspiration. I'd also like to see a really nice library, an occult studies area, science areas of course, etc.! As an aside - they're a great Pulp group. I don't know if anyone still plays much in that SG but someone is keeping up the rent as you can still enter their base and use their teleporters, ect. until ours are up!
We can scour the Base forums as well. I know I used to check in there and found some inspirational bases.
Also Obsidian and High Jinks and anyone else interested - shoot us messages on our globals. I'm @Goblin Queen and as Doc said he's at @Dr Occult
I think globals are working once more (they were down after the patch today).

In the hopes of this starting up, I made a Elec/SS tank on Virtue tonight, under the name of Prof. Sophia Wyatt
My global is my signature, and thought I'm usually on Freedom, (and late at night between midnight and whenever I get tired CST) I can always switch servers to kick start some fun.
Hit me up.
Either he or I will send out an invite. Anyone else who is interested look him up or myself at @Goblin Queen -
Quote:It's arguable that making those powers not suck would be a good middle ground for us to get Speedster powers. I certainly wouldn't mind dipping into Flurry and Whirlwind or whatever it's called with my Kinetic Melee speedster themed character to round him off.Originally Posted by Finsplit
The Speed power pool consists of a travel power that has little use in combat (other than as a poor man's stealth) and two powers that are generally agreed to be the most useless in the game. Plus Hasten. If you're trying to create a speedster, that's pretty thin beer.
Not sure what would be good to fix them. Make Whirlwind knockup instead of back and make Flurry more like Sands of Mu with a stronger disorient chance and a -to hit debuff since the victim is dazed from the fast as hell hands smacking them in the face? :P That debuff could apply to Whirlwind as well. -
Quote:The IDF should absolutely be a free costume set with i20. I'm quite surprised that they haven't done that. Very unfortunate.Originally Posted by Angelxman81
IDF costume set
(New mobs group would have a costume conversion for players) -
If it was just for one day - name purge. All names attached to accounts with no global handles would get the axe.

Quote:Now that I'm down with. I agree with your points - ultimately I think Reds need the Shard (shared or their own).Originally Posted by Xzero45
Every big name villain is a universal threat depending on how you look at it. We've got enough co-op crap floating around. Instead, they should just take one of the unused Shadow Shard maps, make it available to redside, and offer content where villains try to steal Rularuu's power for themselves while heroes attempt to contain and subdue it. Villains are evil and want to destroy/rule the world, not sidekicks trying to save it constantly.

Quote:Hardly any but they log on once in a while. If there was a activity again I'm sure they would come back (those that still play) and be active as well. I know when we were doing this a couple years ago we had tons of interest in it. I'm sure those that still play would be interested again and now there are newer people interested too (apparently!).Originally Posted by Dr_Occult
That would be great, having an established group already on blueside. How many still play their alts in this group?
-
The things that I think would add a lot to the CC is being able to two tone the aura colors and being able to have asymmetrical costume parts. This would require no NEW art but several database changes to existing art combinations. I'd like to have mix matches feet and hands of all sorts not just robotic arms.
Of course new costume bits are always welcomed but I think we can get a lot more mileage with just those two above for starters. -
I have a Pulp/Steampunk SG that has concepts formed from the time frame of 1800s to 1930. It's called The Anachronism Society. Definitely influenced by the League, general Pulp era fiction and all things Steampunk. It's always been rather small with about 16 great roleplayers who put in Alts into the SG. It's currently inactive but it has about 1.6 mil prestige and no base yet to burn it on. I always wanted to get a skill base builder to make a Victorian/Steampunk/Occult base.
If you decide to go Blue side and want to coalition then that'd be great or if the name strikes your fancy I can certainly open it up to other people for leadership and we can kick start it up again.
-
I'd go with Kinetic Melee since you didn't mention you already had that. Or anything Electricity as you alluded to.
KM already sounds like a race car. Might as well attach it to a speedster! -

No.
This game is fun!
But seriously tho, a universal threat like those held in the Shadow Shard make sense to me to be co-op. -
Yay for contests!
Hopefully Goblin Queen will fit within the style: http://s540.photobucket.com/albums/g...H/GoblinQueen/
Good luck all! -
You took all of his slots! /shakesfist Next time, Gadget! Next time!
I really like that group shot. I totally have to snag him for my multi-character.. characters.. like Reincarnate and Mister Halloween. -
Quote:I'd like to see it merged and turned into Teleport Other.Originally Posted by Duncan_Frost
It's a fun fluff power. I wouldn't be against merging it with Recall Friend and adding something cool like a self-teleport to a random nearby area, as a kind of 'panic button'.
A Blink ability like above would be cool if it could correctly obey geometry. -
Quote:So agreed. Having those portals open up and Praetorians streaming through into Paragon/Rogue Isles would be amazing. Give plenty of opportunities for new badges!Originally Posted by cursedsorcerer
Rikti because invasion events are epic! They should do something similar with the Praetorians.

Yah, I'm not looking for this to be one of those threads. I want to make sure that my line of reasoning is legit as can be w/o a Dev actually stating one way or the other. I also wasn't sure if there were any story lines in the comics or books touching on the Infected or Arachnoids to further prove that logic.
Edit - reading up more on Project Fury, it looks like that's exactly what this is and the Infected are an offshoot of the Well. Unless something else is being introduced by Doctor Geist in his experiments with dead Arachnoids?
Edit 2 - Looks like Project FURY wraps it up nicely. I should have stumbled on that first! Hah. http://wiki.cohtitan.com/wiki/Project_FURY -
Quote:Clockwork ARE awesome. I love steampunk and they definitely embody it.Originally Posted by dbuter
Which villain group do you like the best? Maybe it's the cool costumes, maybe it's just that you get to beat up faux-nazis. Let us know!
For me, I like the Clockwork. Steampunk robots are just cool.
I also love killing 5th Column. Nazis. 'Nuff said.
Otherwise my favorite shifts based on the story of the character. Magic origin characters - CoT or Legacy Chain become my favorite *for that character*. -
Quote:I read that before I posted but I think I wasn't focusing on the Doctor Geist story line and that's where I missed the origin story of the cesspools.Originally Posted by Eislor
You want to do Dr. Creed's story arc (level 5-8) about the infected.
Create a new villain, pick Matthew Burke as your contact, when you finish his stuff Burke will pass you on to Creed. Or you can read about it in the Wiki: Dr. Creed
So to make sure I got it right: Doctor Geist is experimenting on dead Arachnoids and the chemical runoff is pumped into the cesspools of Mercy Island. This water is what creates the Infected and has the ability to give some of them super powers.
Arachnoids are made from Venom, a drug derived from Lord Recluse's blood who is empowered by the Well. So ultimately, the Infected are a science origin convoluted twist of the Well of Furies?
Hah. I'm from Virtue and.. well I could agree with that assumption. ;PQuote:Originally Posted by Clave_Dark_5

I actually totally misread into that the first day I saw it talked about.. couple months ago? Seems like it. I was even posting how excited I was for cross server teaming! But I was called out on it and reread it and was like oh.. yeah. They didn't REALLY say that. But I think it's likely to happen at some point due to that wording.

Quote:I took it for one character because it fit his costume changes perfectly. This was before the advent of costume change emotes. I need to respec out of it once I work up the nerve.Originally Posted by GuyPerfect
I knew a guy who took Whirlwind for the sole purpose of using it as a flight emote.
Oh and that probably answers the question too but just in case: I choose "cool". -
Catchy title?
I'm looking for more information on the backstory of the cesspools in Mercy Island and the Infected. Is there anything else beyond what Doctor Creed's missions reveal? I'm working on the background of a hero turned villain due to a heroic mission going horribly wrong against the Infected. Basically, the cesspools will be the source of his change in appearance and powers.
Any linkage or information anyone can provide would be of great help. Thanks!
-
Very nice. Congrats!
-
I really like this. I just made a toxic cesspool character and I'd love to have this as opposed to using another Rad powerset.

Most of what I'd want is already listed here several times but I'll chime in.
1) Power Customization - this is the major one for me - power pools, patron powers, ancillary powers, Epic archetypes (limited palettes) and Mastermind pets, Lore pets and Illusion pets. I'd really love for us to create pets via the NPC creator in the Mission Architect tool or Costume Editor.
2) New powers for ATs. There are a ton of great player suggestions and existing comic book powers for inspiration. Whip Assault for Dominators please.
3) Bases - make base editing more accessible. Kinda like how UO gave players the tool to raise and lower items. I'd LOVE to be able to make killer looking bases but I don't really want to go through a bunch of tricks and bugs to do so. I'd like to also get personal lairs more easily.
4) Costumes and World Art Revamp - old costume pieces, old world art assets, etc.. Bringing Going Rogue world art assets and textures and city building style to Blue and Red side (in certain zones) would be amazing. Skin textures, masks with textures, textures added to all of the skin overlays (similar to the Wedding pack costume pieces). Leave the legacy pieces but give an updated option for each one as well. Don't take away the old to give us the new.
5) Finish power proliferation. Illusion for Dominators, Broadsword for Brutes, Martial Arts for Brutes, etc., etc.
6) Build Switching - I'd like to be able to switch builds without having to go to a trainer. I'd understand not being able to do it on a mission or in combat but being able to do it anywhere in the world would be so.. nice.
