    A Final Farewell

    I just want to say thank you once more to Paragon Studios and all those involved who made City of Heroes happen. Before the forums and servers go down I really wanted to say that,

    Richard Donner and Christopher Reeve made me believe a man could fly. City of Heroes allowed me to experience it for myself.


    Thank you again for the memories. I'll be here until the lights go out.
  2. Meant to do this sooner, Happy Birthday Dink ^ ^ hope you had a great one!
  3. Set is looking rather awesome I cannot wait to get my hands on them in Beta and see what new designs I can come up with for my characters.

    Sooo not only do you want to destroy them physically, you want to destroy them financially as well? Repairing the roofs to some of these layers would be quite expensive especially if you are blasting into some of the underground bases which there are a lot of. That said, yeah it would be a pretty cool power, I have one scientist who could use it. Right now if I get him his lore I will probably go warworks, Robot MM it would fit a bit, for judgement.... toss up between Ion and Void.
  5. The PPD Hardsuit is the only costume power I bought I believe. It's the main one I wanted because it looks so dang awesome. Would love to get it ported to the CC in some fashion.

    Devouring Earth I am ashamed I didn't think of. I just created a Plant Control/Empath and... I really like her lol.

    I also agree more judgements would be awesome as well. I am assuming they have more in store for us anyway since they've added before. For me Lore was just easier to come up with ideas for.

    What do you all think of Cabal Lore pets?
  6. Take care Beastyle. I enjoyed chatting with ya on Beta and in the Ustream chat. Wish you the best of luck to where ever you are heading from here.
  7. I'd vote for new builds, been a couple times I've wanted create a snake like character. Even if it is just one. Besides.... off the top of my head I don't know of any other game that offers such options in the OP so that would be big hit I think.

    With the T4 being a Supa troll? And I didn't even think about splitting the CoT up to fill in for different themes, if it were possible that would be cool.

    With the Retro Pack coming out with jet packs I would think at least someone would want goldbrickers or skyraiders to fight along side.

    I have a reptilian character that I could see use Snakes as a lore pet if it were an option. Aside from them... if I ever get him to that point I really don't know what I would pick... nothing really... fits.
  9. This would actually give me a reason to use the emblems (I rarely do as is), so yeah. Cool idea.
  10. First off sorry if this thread exists somewhere already, I couldn't find it. I know we already have a lot of Lore Pet options already but recently I've thought of a few more that would be cool to see.

    First off, I would love to get some of Mot's minions under my control. Mainly because they are a better stand in for "demons" than the Rularuu that I am using now on a few characters. Could include the huge Ravager as one of the t4's as we have the Longbow Mech ally.

    Secondly with Beast Mastery on the way, why not more animals to coincide with the theme. Lions (Yes I know they are in the Beast Mastery power but I am leaning more toward the male variety), tigers, T4 bears, hawks, eagles, heck a T4 rhino if possible. I'm only thinking of staying within the theme of having animal allies for those who are MMs and those who are not.

    Third idea has to deal with elements, such as a fire controller has their imps, well with Lore why not changing the hawk into a phoenix. For ice, why not the snowmen or a mini snow storm which slows and debuffs enemies near by and follows the player, similar in how the thunderstorm follows you.

    Fourth idea, something more magical in origin, how about the floating swords from the Apex TF, change it up add in different weapon types or orbs.

    Just some ideas I had come to mind to use thematically with characters.

It will likely require the Supergroup’s Super Leader to actually execute the transfer.
    .
    Just out of curiosity with Supergroup transfers in the works, would this also open up the possibility to SG/VG renames as well? Or is that a beast of a different nature to tackle at another time? (If ever)
  13. I've had this issue for the longest time. I believe the reason is cause you (and I) run in windowed mode. IIRC when I switched to full screen mode everything showed up fine.

    Is this an option (with or without image)? EU test has moved up to version 2000.
    Subjective Feedback: I really like the new heads long over do imo. However a non snarling face would have been a nice touch. I have to agree the Lion and Tiger do kinda look like they are smiling, so a closed mouth but still serious expression would have been cool. I assume that you couldn't allow hats or eye wear do to clipping, but it would it would have been cool to have anyway. I mean a friend of mine used the /e crouch and their monstrous legs were clipping through their pants, how much more worse can it get? ^.^ Clipping doesn't bother me so much, its bound to happen and I can over look it.

    Speaking of monstrous legs, and this has been mentioned before (Well everything I say has been mentioned before but figured it best to add one more voice for what it is worth), I assume it was another technical issue that keeps us from having to resort to monstrous legs for the claws and talons. This would be fine if I could still use pants with tatters and such. I found myself wishing I could make the character look like he just transformed and his clothes ripped and shredded due to it, but I couldn't. Again that's probably a technical issue, so I will just work around it.

    As for the quote, I agree how do we get the stripes or spots to show up on the arms with the t-shirt option? I don't care to have orange arms and then go back into tiger stripe "gloves". Am I overlooking something or what? Also....I was really hoping to have that shirt lol. It's one casual shirt that I could see my characters wearing. Any chance we can have that added in before the release?

    The costume change emotes look great to me, especially the feathers. Though I don't know if it was just me or lag or whatever, but a friend pointed out that on /cce Feather burst that my change was after the flash not during.

    I didn't realize until late last night the scaling did look a bit off, but I can deal with that. But adding the new patterns to capes would be nice.

    The /e savage emote does beg the question of why when there are no monkey/ape pieces, but I can only hope that means there is a Monkey/Ape pack down the road as the Reptile/Dinosaur pack was hinted at, which makes me hope there will be a deep sea pack so I can get a shark head as well down the road.

    Coloring options for Grey Wolf and the Eagle head would be nice too. I hate having two colors to choose yet, in truth I only have one. Customization has been what lured me into this game, and it has been the one of main things keeping me here. Please don't skimp on the customization possibilities.

    Bit longer than I expected but, still wanted to add my voice. I didn't bring up everything, cause a lot of suggestions and feed back I do tend to agree with here.
  15. When I first unlocked a gladiator I didn't even know it was for pvp, I kinda thought "Oh cool." And then went looking at my powers to see what I got. Especially when I read the text saying " The Family owes you a favor." for instance. I thought I had unlocked like a temp power to summon an ally in battle while playing. Since I am one of those who enjoys soloing occasionally a little added fire power was nice. But there was no power to be found. Years later I tried out gladiator fight in the arena for fun.

    If /I/ were going to try and save them, and I know I am probably going to get hated for this, but I would retool them to be that temp power summon. Have them each have say a 15-20min cool down, only able to use one at a time so you don't spawn them all at once to overkill a mob (which would be fun personally). It would be no different than summoning a Snow Beast, Shivian, Cabal or a Vanguard heavy, even similar to the patron powers that give you summons. This way they don't just erase all the badges earned and forget about it (I doubt the badgers would like that myself included).

    I already problems arise. In no order,

    1)Our power list box is already kinda crowded imo, especially if you got a bunch of temp powers and with the prestiege sprints, and then with Halloween costume pieces (even though the festive temp powers do go away after awhile). So that would be a problem, visually at least.

    Possible solution?: Have them have a limited use, but obtainable like the Vet base rewards. Say 5 uses, used them all up, go to the Gladiator section and "Claim Temp Power"

    2) A Gladiator, with a MM especially a thug with Gang War....is probably overkill.
    3) It would take away some of the challenge and/or make the game easier. I don't really know if it would be game breaking or not. To me it seems it would be like having one extra Blood Widow/Shivian power up your sleeve when things get tough.
    4) From a RPers stand point. . . I'll leave that up to the player. Everyone could come up with their own reason, either they convinced so and so to turn over a new leaf on Blueside to the family owed me a favor on Redside.
    5) Development/resource/time I don't know from a design standpoint what all would need to be done to make the change.

    I'm sure there are other problems that I haven't thought of. That's my two cents. As for saving the system as it was actually meant to be. . . no clue sadly. It was an interesting idea, and I enjoyed playing it that one time that I did. We went a few rounds but it boiled down to who had the better minions which they had taken the time to badge hunt and get them where as I hadn't.
  16. As AzureSkyCiel said, "they weren't saying "Make it a badge unlock" they were just saying that "if it has to be a badge unlock..." "

    I really /DON'T/ want it tied into the Unveiler Badge cause that IS a pain in rear to get on red side. To date I don't think any of my vills actually have that badge. And being an altiholic, and proud of it, it would be even more tedious to try and get it unlocked on eeeeeveryone. I don't want to have to do that. That's boring and tiresome. I threw it out there as an option. I would rather have the option to unlock it or...even craft it instead of not having it at all. In all honesty I would /prefer/ to have it at the start of character creation but I would settle for unlocking/crafting it if actually means we could get it.
  17. A bit late but I would like to throw in my two cents. As a wishlist for me so far I agree with the PPD Hardsuit, Knives of Artemis details and Sybil outfits (even if it means no capes) and the Kheld sash.

    I would like to have at least the belt from the Fake Nemesis (Could even tie in to the badge, defeat 100 get the Unveiler Badge and a new costume piece(s) if you add more than just the belt, I just mainly want the belt buckle)


    Aside from her dress for girls, I would also like her belt, and a toned down version of it for males. Like not as large perhaps.

    Tattered skirts for girls (Again can tie it into the Cabal badge) I know that isnt the best pic but you get the idea.

    Last few I know are a stretch but

    Ice Armor, could make it tintable and perhaps somehow tie it into a winter reward. (or just had the idea of an Elemental Armor booster pack of some sort so you could also add in armor with/of fire, but whatever)

    Spikes going up arms and legs, with the option of it being left/right or both.

    Spark Blade's coat would be awesome.

    Lastly Mother Mayhem's coat. It leaves the chest more open and looks nice. I would like to see this for males and females.

    Can't think of any more at the moment but those are the main ones I personally would like to add to the costume creator.
