    Perhaps this can be a perk tied to a certain vet reward tier badge.

    That way people who are brand new to the game still have to go to the appropriate zone for their newspaper/radio as they level (which will allow them to learn about other parts of the game), while people who have been here for a while can have the option of a level 5-50 newspaper/radio in any zone that has a detective/broker.

    Questions & Answers

    Evil Dead Remake?

    POST-ACTION

    Evil Dead creator Sam Raimi is doing a reboot of Evil Dead, but there also a production company doing an Evil Dead 4 without his permission & Raimi is suing them.

    Would a starfield pattern for tights be possible? (It can be static, no glow or sparkle is necessary)












    And for capes?

    Possible renames for Solar Flare:

    Radiant Blast
    Rebuke
    Castigation
    Repent
    Penance Wrath


    Possible renames for Bless Angels:

    Rapture
    Ascension
    Chant
    Orison


    I happen to like “Divine Wrath”, but if it needs to get renamed, perhaps “Righteous Wrath” or "Penance Wrath" from the above list would be a good alternate name?
  16. Hero_of_Steel
    I don’t think an in depth lore was provided for demon summoning when they were added to the game, angelic summoning could be provided without an explanation as well & leave the players to define what they are.

    Angelic beings in the style of Astral Christy, Empyrean Michael or Taskmaster Gabriel shouldn’t be a problem.









    To avoid three powers starting with the name Divine, perhaps rename Divine Bolt & Divine Light to Cosmic Bolt & Celestial Light.

    The base portal is extremely convenient to Taskmaster Gabriel.

    Similarly, an Invention Worktable could be placed in the base for no additional cost to base rent.


    1. If I remember correctly, the RWZ having a base portal didn’t prevent the Devs from putting in crafting tables & other Qol features in that zone.


    2. If a hero with a solo sg uses the alignment system to go full villain (to unlock patron powers, run sf’s & trials, & collect badges (explore & flashback badges)) & will eventually turn back to hero; Can that villain still access his solo hero sg base while still a villain?
  21. Hero_of_Steel
    Missed LineNoise's post. Nevermind.
  22. Hero_of_Steel
    And as a Qol, Can an Abandoned Lab be added to one of the buildings across from the Hospital?

    Horror movies

    POST-ACTION

    John Carpenter’s “The Thing” (1982)
    Fallen (1998)
    The Dead Zone (1983)

    The Others (2001)
    The Skeleton Key (2005)
    Dracula (1979 Frank Langella version)
    Cube (1997)
    Spellbinder (1988)
    The Fly (Both the 1958 & the 1986 version are good)
    Shadow of the Hawk (1976)
    The Omen (1976 version)
    Graveyard Shift (1990)
    The Other (1972)

    And 2 Horror TV Mini-series I liked:

    Salem's Lot (1979)
    The Stand (1994)
  24. Hero_of_Steel
    For 800 PP I would have liked to have seen a themed pack instead.


    A rainbow teleport power that uses the Leprechaun summon animation (a rainbow comes down & you appear at the spot with shamrocks & coins bursting out of the ground).


    A Green Beer random self-buff power (like secondary mutation).


    A pot of gold shield for Shield Defense. (Bonus points if it has an animation/combat animation of coins dropping out of it)





    New emotes that use the throw confetti animation.

    /ThrowBills

    Throws dollar bills into the air.


    /ThrowGoldCoins

    Throws gold coins into the air.


    /ThrowSilverCoins

    Throws silver coins into the air.


    /ThrowShamrocks

    Throws shamrocks into the air.



    Costume pieces:

    Shamrock chest detail

    Falling Shamrock aura





    I would love to have the Leprechaun pet also increase prestige as well, & maybe even have a chance of Luck Charm salvage drops.
  25. Hero_of_Steel
    If additional Lore Pets are offered from the existing NPC groups I hope the Devs split the Circle of Thorns into 3 separate choices, Behemoth Overlords, Hellfrosts, & the Mages.

    It would open up more thematic choices for the powersets we have, Hellfrosts for Ice using characters, Behemoth Overlords for fire, & the human mages could fit a few concepts.
