CO allows you to choose the colors for each individual power, so there's a fair chance the upcoming power customization will also allow it.

I wouldn't call that a guarantee. CO's power customisation was programmed in from the start (and seems to be connected to loot, which may not be the same at all) while this game has to be heavily modified to accomodate it.

Depends on how many obstacles are in your way.

I took my Wolf Spider to Grandville and picked up a jetpack, since I wanted more freedom to try out the AT's different powers.

There's nothing wrong with going travel-power-free in this day and age, especially with all the teleporters and jetpacks we can get.

This pretty much. Gamestop employees are judged not by their usefulness, but how many pre-orders, magazine subscriptions, and used titles they can sell. The first because if is effectively a scam, as many stores will not actually hold your copy, keep your pre-order bonuses to themselves unless you hound them (most people will not), and generally operate on the assumption that you will totally forget about your pre-order and give them $5 for effectively nothing.

[/ QUOTE ] So do you have any actual facts or information to back up this claim, or is it just some weird conspiracy theory? I would really like to know, because what you say makes no sense.

Gamestop employees have managed to get a very poor reputation on the internet from many, many personal accounts for various reasons.

Issue 6 was meant to make the existing game compatible with City of Villains, and so players wouldn't be downloading a massive update that they wouldn't even be able to use if they didn't have the expansion. I assume there will be an issue released alongside Going Rogue that, while separate, will compliment GR.

I kinda want to see an Assault Rifle Control set now. Riot Control?

I wonder if I'll be able to change the colour of that big anime WHOOSH that Headsplitter makes when it hits.

I just summoned Dessie the Shivan, Amy and everything else I had on hand to beat Nemesis. Was quite a party.

Maybe they keep the location secret now, after the place got trashed enough times.

Hazard zones had become completely obsolete heroside by the time CoV was being developed, so they decided they may as well not bother. Besides, each CoV zone has areas that spawn Hazard-sized mobs anyway, for those who actually used them.

You do have one high-level hazard zone, the co-op Rikti War Zone.

how do you turn this on

And of course...

There is no cow level

The Shadow Shard is a beautiful zone to look at, but there's a reason nobody goes there. There's no story arcs, the Task Forces are ridiculously long, boring and annoying, the enemies are unfairly difficult, and navigating the place is a living hell if you don't have Flight (and even if you do, it takes ages to get anywhere).

It really, really, really, really, really needs a revamp. Making it co-op would be nice too.

Just find a good location to street hunt them.

You'll find no shortage of Sorcerors in Talos Island, especially if you rampage up and down Spanky's Boardwalk. As for the mages, the southern end of the Hollows had plenty of them last time I checked (Note that this was pre-revamp).

As for Vanguard Merits, getting in on a single mothership raid will earn you more merits than missions will get you in a week.

You can transfer inf, in the form of valuable Salvage and such, though SG bins.

This idea has been posted many times before. To put it simply, I don't think this is anything close to a good idea. The fact that you use WoW as a feasibility model is kinda funny.

Also, the above posters mentioned that the game used to do this; however, the developers created the AT system for a reason... the open power selection model was unworkable.

[/ QUOTE ]

I wouldn't say "unworkable", more that the Devs found the game (and the players) easier to control with the more structured AT system.

[/ QUOTE ]
Not so much 'unworkable' as 'irredeemably broken'. As said, it'd be incredibly easy to make a completely useless gimp or a gamebreaking tankmage.

Champions Online is currently trying a more free-form system, but the restrictions seem to be creeping in.

Eh, I'd probably be a pretty good superhero. I'd probably end up putting more villains in the asylum rather than the Zig, though.

I've never had the attention span to participate in a real flamewar most of the time. If I did, I'd probably end up arguing with myself.

How big is my post count at this point?

Ed: Holy jeezus.

They just need to remove the AE from Atlas Park. They've already removed all the good farming methods, noobs seem to be happy to throw themselves at 54 bosses and wonder why they die all the time. If they had to actually go somewhere to start farming, at least they'd be getting out more, and it'd quiet the place down.

I've seen just as many heroic ninjas and robots as villainous ones in all media, and plenty of heroic mercenaries, and even heroic thugs, zombies and demons (Hellboy anyone?). There's a lot in this very game. There's hundreds of ways to justify the existing Mastermind pets going hero without changing them at all.

And lots of AE kiddies enter Praetoria looking for those rewards, and wonder why they get killed all the time and they keep getting kicked from teams.

The devs were honestly trying to improve PvP. PvPers responded by leaving. Now they can't even get feedback to fix things.

To be honest, the devs don't seem to be bothering with bases any more. They said that Issue 13 was going to be a major base revamp, and it ended up just lowering some of the prices.

Overall, this game is not a PvP game. The devs tried to improve PvP and given the way the players accepted that, I doubt they're gonna bother with it again.

I want to make a game with a real branching plot someday. And by that I mean you can play the game twice or more and experience a completely different story with different characters, areas and events.

Frost is correct, but I don't think anyone is worried about what Superman would do with a nuke. It's more like, would you give a nuke to Wolverine? The Tick? Deadpool? They're all heroes, but possibly none to be trusted with nuclear weapons.

[/ QUOTE ]
...hell yes I'd arm 'em, just to see the hilarity that unfolds.

I can imagine it. Wolverine grapples with the curiosity of if he could survive it. The Tick attempts to get rid of it in hilariously inept ways that terrify everyone. Deadpool gets his cowboy hat.
