That has nothing to do with the work the Op is suggesting.

I don't get it.

Neuro-Freon or Feuron is an idea that just came to me for the ice brain dude.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking. There may be a lot of suggestions, but the thing I'm taking away from this is none of these have been good enough. With the exception of Brainfreeze, which was taken.
My first thought when I saw this thread was "I wonder if anyone's going to get a payout, or is this just going to be used to 'prove' that there are no good names left." -

If the joke goes over your head, it doesn't mean it wasn't funny.

Awesome, thanks for proving my point!

Purely subjective opinion. Not factual at all.

- because it's fun
- Because it's unique from other powers
- Because it's unique from other powers in a way that isn't just "MOAR DEF/DAM/AoE!"
- Because it goes with the idea of the set
- Because having a game-play feature that reflects the nature of your character's abilities can be more immersive
- Because there's only so many ways to put together the various things in a power(damage, Endurance, Recharge, e.t.c.), particularly across the whole set, while still being balanced, before things get samey and thus defeating the purpose of making a new set at all
- It's fun.

It's just two grey Hercules Combined, they can repeat this indefinitely

And the use of the word "Revamp" has me a little nervous. If it's 5th powers for the existing pools outside of travel powers, that's kinda neat, but that's not exactly a revamp either.

Some kind of melee weapon using dudes that AREN'T ninja would be nice. but primarily I want customization, at least for Mercs/Thugs/Ninja.

I have what feels like a simple request - can we please have a collection of all or at least most hats enabled for Full Helmet -> Detail 1? You know, where the head fins are? The hats would obviously not come with hair, but come on, now - wouldn't it be cool to have a suit of power around with a cowboy hat or a robot with a top hat? And no, you can't really "fake" that because most hats always come with hair on the outside of any Robotic face you pick.
I have a self-serving reason to ask for this, of course. My own Nathanel was supposed to have a Colonen Kroenen look to him, but that's impossible to do since the military hat always has to have hair with it.
Please do this thing -
Quote:This works if we assume that all of the people purchasing didn't earn their money in some fashion. Money of course being a stand-in for goods, and work, it could be said that they didn't so much get the "thing" the "easy way" so much as they took another, equally tasking route.Originally Posted by StratoNexus
To be clear, your premise is that if something can be both earned and bought, it lessens the value of earning it. Correct?
It doesn't matter if you never buy it yourself, the simple fact that the option exists, lessens the value of earning it. If NO ONE ever buys it and everyone only ever earns it, earning it is still cheapened by the mere possibility of buying it.
It seems a rational, if weird, position. I don't feel that way in general, but it doesn't seem crazy or anything.
But then some of the people who spend their money on in-game stuff might not have worked for that money(for a given definition of "work") -

I'm hoping that the mystery behind the new blood bending ability is further explored in the up coming season.

They took that away recently and replaced it with a more generic screen, so unless someone has an old screenshot, You're probably out of luck.

Well in all fairness is is just as exciting to me as the Elemental Order pieces were... which is to say "not much."
Just to be "that guy" They also have pretty much the exact same amount of "Pirate" going onQuote:Originally Posted by Zwillinger

And I don't even READ comic books!
and that's significantly less pirate than the actual costume set. -

He's the Slayer from Dungeon Fighter online. Specializes in swords, demon possessed arm(that he doesn't use the sword with). That sort of thing.

Quote:That's more of a titan weapons ideaOriginally Posted by Ultimus
An easy concept is to go War Mace or Broadsword like you said and make your character magical in origin.
"(Your name here) acquired this magic blade (or mace) from XXX location. It turns out the blade is cursed by a powerful demon. The demon fights for control of you and you can see it trying to manifest itself. (Here you could choose for instance just to use the Bio Arm, or maybe a leg or two showing the "demon")"
Edit:
Actually you COULD go Broadsword with that

should be fun! See ya there!

I wouldn't mind a Superman Movie where he just saves people all day if it was actually a good movie.

Quote:I agree with this so much. I hate the idea that all my Crimefighters either stop being crimefighters after level thirty or stop existing altogether. This is just an extension of the misguided idea that "Super hero" actually only meansOriginally Posted by Johnny_Butane
Being a street level hero has nothing to do with whether your level 1 or level 41. Batman is a street level hero. Daredevil is a street level hero. Both of them are on different power levels. Batman didn't leave Gotham City when he became an accomplished crime fighter, and frankly I think we could use some "street level" zones for level 50 heroes, as well as zones suited for other types of characters.
Not everyone is a Dr. Strange (Dark Astoria) or an Avenger (RWZ) or Spartacus (Cimerora). We need zones to cater to all kinds of level 50s; street level dark crusaders, super agent spy guys, scientific challengers of the fantastic, high flying steel men of tomorrow, cosmic ring powered surfing space knights, etc.
Sure, new zones for them are preferable. But revamping existing zones, as with Dark Astoria, is more economic and easier to pull off. If there's a superfluous zone of that kind at a lower level range, why not re-purpose it for a higher level range?
Hence why we revamp it with new stories and different enemy groups.
At present the zone only has Clockwork, The Lost and Trolls AFAIK. With the exception of the Lost, there's nothing exactly precluding those gangs from being in the high levels. For what it's worth, I think Supa Trolls should definitely be something high level heroes are in on; they're basically an army of mini-Hulks, after all. There's also not a lot tying those gangs to Skyway to begin with. So bringing in new enemy groups wouldn't be much of a loss.
.
and not, you know, anything else. More content geared towards a greater variety of heroes(and villains) and more levels is something I really need.
I think it's more just the idea that X storyline would keep you in a certain milieu and that there would be a few choices.Quote:Originally Posted by Xzero45
We really don't need paths delving into sci-fi and magic and all that. A natural themed hero can easily get themselves into a plot involving wizards without being a wizard themselves.
What might be interesting is to use the City Hall "Origin Agency" Contacts again. Once you reached an appropriate level, A liason of sorts would pop up in your contact list and let you speak with whichever rep you wanted, who would give you a story arch(and repeatable missions) based in what they do. This would introduce you to the contacts, zones, and missions geared towards that kind of content and allow you to continue along that line.
(Wasn't this the original intent of these Contacts?)
Another idea is to have the Devs "Tag" story arcs and contacts and allow you to search for missions and content based on your personal desires.
Something like this would be fantastic.Quote:But I totally agree about one part of Paragon being dark and gritty, and the other a thriving metropolis. Caters to Batman and Superman types. I wish they'd tweak the level ranges a bit and bust out new storylines to support this instead of adding more, non-Primal Earth zones that have nothing to do with anything.
Kings Row > Skyway City > Independence Port > Boomtown
Atlas Park > Steel Canyon > Talos Island > Founder's Falls
Continue making hazard zones independent, self contained storylines and have Peregrine Island be a revamped combo of both gritty and bright as the 40-50 zone and you'd be set.
