I'd like to see the Order of the Crimson Lotus brought in as an NPC group. To the best of my knowledge the only place they are mentioned is in Infernal's backstory. This would be the perfect group to build around the new Demon Summoning powerset. Looking at Infernal's Paragon Wiki entry they've already got a ready made AV:

Gratz!

The Nameless Mystic
"The Nameless Mystic is an interdimensional being who feeds off the energy kicked off by the dreaded Lanaruu."
This guy hangs out in the most dangerous part of the Shadow Shard and feeds of energy produced by a mad demi-god, you could really go places with that kind of story hook.

Also Frostfire and Atta, put them both in the RWZ as story arc "helper" NPCs. For a reduced prison sentence they volunteered to fight the Rikti. I imagine you could do this with several other early villains that have been arrested in game.

If I'm going to dare to dream about CoH2 then I'm going to dare to dream big and I dream about full power customization where power animations are seperate from power effects. For example if you chose Flares from the Fire Blast powerset you would have a host of animation options. Do you:

• raise both hands and throw fireballs
• throw a fireball like a baseball
• lob a fireball like ball lightning's animation
• shoot a blast of fire from your palm(s)/fist(s)/chest/mouth
• fire a laser beam from you eyes/ring(s)/palm(s)/ray pistol(s)/ray rifle
• shoot incediary rounds from your pistol(s)/rifle/shoulder mounted gatling gun
• shoot a flaming arrow from you hand crossbow(s)/ crossbow/longbow
• throw a fireball from you staff/rod/wand/melee weapon(s)

Also I would like a Klondike bar would do many things for one.

I like to it a little differently, have someone with high melee damage aggro the Rikti and then fly up and over the goo to the opposite side dragging the Rikti behind them. Once all 6 groups are engaged they pop an EoE and take out what's left of the yellows. By the time the rest of the team has taken out the pylons, the yellows and Rikti are down and you can start on the bules and greens. Also the greens do toxic damage not the yellows. The yellows, blues, and Hamidon do special damage which no one has resistance to. An EoE will cap your resistance to their damage but won't protect you from their special effects (fear, end drain, KB, etc.).

Just caught some decent ones in Faultline.

Some conversations between Freaks where one Freak is welding another:
Tank Swiper: Tryin' to drink here. Can you weld more carefully?
Freak Gunner: Man, I'm tellin' ya, you keep moving and I'm going to weld that to your eye.

Freak Gunner: You know I have this tool here that burns stuff real bad right? Okay, so maybe you wanna stop moving around?
Chief Smasher: Oh quit your whining. I'm kneeling here like a statue.

Chief Swiper: This newspaper is flammable. It burns, man. Watch it, will ya?

Some Arachnos trying to bargin with the Freakshow:
Wolf Spider Enforcer: Well, I won't be extorted by some metallic psychopath in makeup. If you think those strong-arm tactics are going to work, think again. Do you even KNOW who Lord Recluse is?

Wolf Spider Enforcer: I can see I'm speaking above you here. Let's try something a little simpler: me give you good price. Ok?

A Wolf Spider after I agroed him:
Wolf Spider Assault: Didn't we just do this? I could have sworn not ten minutes ago I beat up a hero that looked JUST like you.

A PPD arresting 2 Lost:
SWAT Officer: You realize that's a small car, right? How did you even FIT in there?

Just caught these ones in Sharkhead Isle when I aggroed Wolf Spiders that were holding people at gunpoint:

Wolf Spider Enforcer: I have a weapon pointed at a man's head and I'm in the middle of an interrogation. Did it ever occur to you that MAYBE trotting past like an elephant could be considered an intrusion?

Wolf Spider Huntsman: You I will deal with later. Captain Intrusion here is now on my No Witnesses list.

I wrote this for my playstyle and If you've teamed with me you know that's fighting the agro limit of enemies in close combat. I also enjoy playing "lets you and him fight" with big groups of NPCs duking it out.

Basically this is one big melee brawl, no storyline, no fancy text. Every enemy has a melee and a defensive power set. I used the largest map I could and added 30 Blue patrols and 30 Red patrols. Reds and Blues will agro each other and as well as you.

The mission objective is an escort with the escort being a Stormy that plays like certain people who will go unnamed at this time. Keeping the escort alive takes some agro management.

So if you like melee combat, grab your Brute/Tank/Scrapper/wahtever, set your diff for 8 man spawns and go to town.

Negative Ghostrider, if I was going to stalk someone it sure as heck wouldn't be you mister "I hope KT dies." Go harsh someone else's mellow dude.

Reforge the Shadow Shard.

Remove all PvP from the MMO and update the PvP zones with story arcs and Tfs.

Develop a team based shooter based on the MMO.

Well that was fun for my 1st live run of it. Our team ran really smoothly. thanks for Running this Zamuel.

Thoughts and comments on the ITF...

No offense but yinz have got some squishey brutes. 8 brutes could have easily outdamaged the healing nictus but with half the team dead within a minute or two it just wasn't happening.

Viv,
sorry I didn't explain what I was doing when I drug Romulus over to the lake after the dogpiles didn't work. I type slowly and poorly so I can either fight or talk, not both. I was trying to drop Rom in the lake and split him from the Nictus but they weren't having any of being split. Couldn't get them to reliably split all night.

GP,
we could have been more organized but I don't think it would have helped alot. After we figured out dogpiles weren't working we switched to staffing which should have and eventually did work. There was something funky going on with Rom and it was more than just agroing on us when we were staffing. He took off running a couple times for no reason while he was fighting us. Hell he jumped up on the roof and we were no where near him. He's not the only one I've seen do this. When we did the blaster LGTF the Clockwork King was running around like a sissy.

MG,
you shouldn't count on enemy agro to build fury with, build it by attacking. I suggest heavily slotting your patron, ranged attack with recharge and spamming it. I was sitting at 2/3 fury when we were staffing.

Hamster,
you're welcome for another pling session, leech.

If you're in SoV check the base enhancement bins. I went on an OCD spending spree and left some presents.

Okay, I've used up my yearly quota of talking, back to lurking.

Hmm....yes.

I'd like in with my namesake (SS/In Brute.)
