  1. Not an entirely original idea though. See the "Angle" in the second Hellboy movie.

    Just all some tailfins to it. That should make it different enough. Maybe some headlights. :P

    That's doable. Use the Kheldian powersets as a base. Transform> limit attacking options open new ones. Claw peck.
    Herochu I choose you.

    What about if it wasn't an entirely solid effect. I picture something like a portable blizzard.

    Make the avatar invisible/remove the model/something, aply -jump and -fly and add some sort of durt trail/cracked ground and a burrowing sound.

    Maybe not the most handy of travel powers, but it makes for some great themes.

    No bin discussed. To difficult for complex terrain.
    And no webshooters ether. Many places have nothing to swing on.

    Though I would like to be able to pull an enemy to me.
    Tank mid fight. Enemy pounding teammate. Can't get threw mob. Problem? No. Comm'er!!!
    Sort of a simplified more reliable TP enemy.

    No car! No horse!!! They have said many times that they will not make them. The city is to crowded for such things.
    Stick to what ideas they asked for, something that can be used with a common stance.

    How about a flying cloud. Like the Monkyking uses... yes and Goku. :/
    Or a flying disk.
    Or various FX based versions. Using path auras for the riding of ice, fire, light, stone...
    That one could, in theory at least, be easiest to employ.

    What about a flying beast run. Running on air. Maybe little poofs of smoke from its feat when it hits the non existent ground.

    Running on nothing make it look like invisible platforms. with little expanding color able circle like expanding rings in water for each impact.

    The various shields would make for good boards.

    And you have to make the titan weapons ride-able.

    Well I only have the electric aura at the moment so I can't amuse that they all work almost the same. That they extend back from a hero in a strait line, a ray. And it's more or less the same length regardless of the speed. But what I want is a longer more flexible path that fallows the trail of the hero. I want
    is to see streaks of light tracing, crisscrossing threw the sky. Think Starfire or the Powerpuff Girls. I want to draw my name in the sky with light and fire. (I know that last one is a technical impossibility but one can dream.)

    Y'know, these posts make me think of this video.

    Anyway, you're a bit late to the party. People have already posted their suggestions for designs in the original City Life - CoH & CoV General Discussions thread about the Titan Weapons.

    Still, the more the merrier, eh?
    Along with a lot of other tangents. I was hoping for a simple chain of postings depicting or describing our ideas with little or no deviations from topic... Silly me.
    I wonder if there's a way to delete the errata.
  11. I just though that it would be cool to see what the people think that titanic weapons should look like.

    (Disclaimer: Please not that by posting here your relinquishing all rights and privileges to NCSOFT for the possibility of use in the City of Heros game. (Never happen but we can dream.))

    Note: I'll have one of mine up later.

    Edit: Corecred tital speling. :P

    Edit: I said corrected spelling not grammar.

    Edit: Sorry this took so long I got distracted by something shiny.
  12. Would it be possible to make flying path auras. I.E. contrails.
  13. Did they mention what it would take to unlock each Tier?
  14. One word... minecraft.
    Seriously they have created some ridiculously impressive things in that game. City's. bases. worlds. Functional computers. Using something like this would be a great way to overall the base system.

    Now, I'm all for them adding PP or something just as enticing to some of the content ingame that gets ignored. Perhaps 100 PP when you take down a GM. On a month long timer per account, to prevent farming PP.

    This way GM teams would become common again. Or something similar for long abandoned TF's and things like Terra Volta etc. etc.

    Maybe a small PP reward for gaining the particularly timesink badges ala Overseers and the like.
    Why would them racing to the cap be bad. Ether they'll
    A: quit (Big loss) or
    B: get invested into the game and become regular players.

    But with only 2 slots they'll liable to max them out and just leave with out ever getting a chance to enjoy the game.
    Having a lvl 50 equal a new slot would encourage them to keep playing, expanding, exploring.

    Not to mention that it would be also vary fine for those of us who are playing and could use the extra slots.
  16. How about getting 320 for getting a toon up to level 50?
    Just enough to buy an additional caricature slot.
  17. I'm hoping that they also include some over sized axes in there to Mayby a giant anime mallet as well.

    First time I was a chainsword was in the game Heavy Metal: F.A.K.K.².

  21. That one on the lest looks like the worlds most painful paddle.

    Don't think that there was ever a chance of the prices ($$$) varying between toons and servers. :P

    Yah, you really think they will be diving it to Brutes? :P
  24. With the old patcher you could just run the installer for a few seconds and thin copy the data from the normal COH folder into the new one. This would allow you to skip all but the beta/test specific patching. But with the new NCsoft Launcher you have to download a large ncpatch file which takes a while. It would be nice if the patcher could automatically copy the data from the normal COH folder into the beta/test folders and run the patching from there.
  25. How about calling it Origin. If we treat the different servers as parallel servers this one would be the central one.
