NWNGirl had a habit of posting suggestions and stating how simple they would be based on the fact that she had coded a few things in Neverwinter Nights, because all game code is, apparently the same. lkamen would infuriate her (and many others who posted outlandish suggestions that had a snowball's chance in hell of making it in the game, like permanent quadruple XP) by posting simply "no". Exacerbating the problem, NWNGirl would click the "report" button on any post that disagreed with her suggestions, no matter how politely, tersely or impolitely they were worded. Eventually, it all came to a head with bannings of the worst offenders in these, including those who would over-report, by reporting non-rule-breaking threads simply because they had a different opinion on the suggestion. The Community Reps and Devs decided that the S&I forum needed to be somewhere "less serious" than the development section, and so moved it to For Fun, in the hopes that people would not take themselves as seriously, and not see every Suggestion posted as holy mana provided from on high, but rather give them the feedback they need to become good suggestions. Or even explain why a suggestion just isn't good.



And because I feel like giving your suggestion some advice:

Tested in CoV Beta, were almost completely incapable of generating fury. It *may* be capable of working now with the changes to fury between CoV Launch and now, but I wouldn't hold your breath too much.
Illusion is a *very* poor fit for Dominators due to the way they work. Since you need to be firing off attacks to charge up domination, and pets don't benefit from it, Illusion only has 3 powers that benefit from Domination (Spectral Wounds hasn't benefited from Domination since I15, when the damage buff was removed from Domination)
I think this one is the most likely out of your specific requests for proliferations.
Castle hasn't said whether his team has any proliferations in mind for I17/GR (BABs already posted, a few weeks back, that I17 will be the GR "synchro patch", much like what I6 was for CoV)

There's a reason you don't see animals in game currently. The creation of a quadrupedal skeleton in game design is far different, and oft harder, than creating a bipedal skeleton. Hence why all MM pets so far are bipedal, they can use the same base skeleton practically everything in this game already uses. Also, since I17 is GR-synchro patch, GR is bringing Demon Summoning MMs.

That was SexyJay/JLove and his talented crew of costume designers. As for the "new costume options", we've been getting new ones with most issues (I16 actually was the first issue not to come with new free costumes in a while, which took me a bit by surprise.

Do you have any specific, or even general ideas? For example, Radiation melee/armor gets tossed around every so often, as does Psionic Melee and various oversized weapon sets for melee (Halberds, Polearms, Staves). I17 will have two powersets from GR, Dual Pistols and Demon Summoning, but we don't know if those are going to require the expansion or not yet.

Old suggestion that's often bandied about. But *why* would Boomtown be a co-op zone? RWZ is co-op because you're in a war zone where the enemy is an enemy that nearly decimated the Earth's population (using the proper definition, to kill/remove 1/10th), hero and villain alike. Cimerora is co-op because you're traveling back in time to prevent Romulus Agustus from destroying the timeline that resulted in you existing in the first place, something most villains are fond enough of to team up even with the goodie-two-shoes.

Also often stated, but the problem is that bugs are not easily fixed. They have the right name, since they can be as tenacious as a cockroach (which is theorized to be able to survive a nuclear war). There are bugs that have been in the game for almost its whole lifespan because they're that hard to track down, either because they're buried in code so arcane and undocumented it consumed 2 interns and a poor secretary that glanced at it as she was making coffee, leaving them all gibbering naught but insanity, and naming various abominations as Cthulhu, or because the bug only occurs intermittently and is thus nigh impossible to isolate (see: chat buffer bug, and what it took to find it in the first place).

As I mentioned with the "new powers" listing, do you have any specific suggestions? Web slinging, tunneling, electric-wire gliding?

And are any of those ideas not already covered by powers already in the game? Tunneling is how many stone tankers RP their teleports, web slinging is more-or-less a "reverse SJ", etc.

Castle and Sunstorm have already said that Base Raids are going to stay disabled until PvP is somewhere closer to where they want it. Will this be next issue? I have no idea. Only the second intern from the code-examination disaster mentioned above has occasionally mentioned the PvP goal, amidst other potentially prophetic things said amongst his incoherent babbling.

Listed in the marketing spiel for GR, actually, so some of it may spill into I17, instead of staying in the expansion alone.

I like this, but again, any more specific suggestions? Would you like a purple set for defense or resistance? More Targeted AoE sets? (Please please PLEASE more TAoE sets. There's only 4, including the purple. There are more Snipe sets than that.) Melee sets that don't have such crappy bonuses as the existing ones?

What you will quickly find, in play, is that Human Form Peacebringers are not blasters. They're blappers.

The blasts are anemic in comparison to the melee attacks, and even the melee attacks are, overall, ho hum. They are where the strength of the human form damage is, though, so you'll find yourself dancing in and out of melee a lot, or slugging it out with whatever boss mob you're in.

That said, you'll need your heals much earlier, and the PBAOE stun is vital for mitigating damage. Photon Seekers are an excellent, crashless mini-nuke if you launch them while you're in the middle of a group.

Take Quantum Shield as soon as you can, save Thermal Shield for later.
