Personally I wouldn't look a gift horse in the mouth, but I've always been a bit cheaty.

I know there's too much talk about this already, but I can't help but wonder if anyone has a villain they'd like to see going good, or a hero ready to go bad, and what they're doing to plan and prepare for possible side switching. Writing new backstory? Tweaking the costumes lighter or darker? Saving up Inf?

Myself, I'm looking at my ar/fire blaster Firefawks, who was always a pyromaniac, fair folk-esque kid who happened to fight alongside the good guys, and today in Icon I adjusted his colours to a darker tone, gave him the Biker jacket and added a darker mask...

On the other side, maybe Hyperhero One will give the whole hero thing another shot, or Duokliss Mercuria will fight her demonic blood.

'AE', unfortunately, has come to mean 'farm mission', stemming from a brief period after the latest major update where there was an exploit in the Architect allowing for utterly broken farming and powerlevelling. It's since been fixed, but a lot of players haven't quite got their heads around it.

Be regularly attacked by ninjas.

We already have Chasers and Sky Skiffs as I said, and people aren't asking for private jets. I don't see why tanks would cause people to start whining for vehicles any more than they already do.

Because they keep trying to use the Motorcycle that the MM Thug pet arrives on as proof that the devs could give us vehicles as travel powers.

[/ QUOTE ]
They do?

[/ QUOTE ]

Yes. Many people do thinking that the motorcycle exists as a power effect of the Brute rather than an emote prop specific to the Brute model.

I figure those people aren't worth listening to.

I'd say keep the old account, your characters will all have at least one free respec they can use to get up to speed, you'll have a little more Veteran time

The game has changed, and in the opinion of many has gotten much better. You'll have to decide for yourself.

They keep bringing out more stuff in the game, I haven't even played half the stuff they already have!

The ones listed above are technically against the EULA, I think, but the devs turn a blind eye to them because they're helpful to players and quite well made.

Someone in marketing is gonna get fired.

AR/Ice or AR/fire. I hardly ever see either of those two.

I've got AR/Fire.

Sky Skiffs and Chasers work with slightly different mechanics than a car would, I do believe. No wheels to turn, no set direction, etc.

The solution is simple

HOVER TANKS!!!!!!

That would be very nice.

My Mercs are named after the cast of Apocalypse Now.

Grab a controller, just to round it out.

I suggest Plant or Illusion if you want something unconventional and fun to watch.

And I figure a team of each of the 5 ATs is good luck.

And my first thought was Crow T Robot.

You heard me. I see Vanguard tanks rolling around the RWZ, and I'd like to see them blowing up Rikti. A couple of factions already have vehicles- Sky Skiffs, Longbow Chasers, Arachnos Flyers- that it'd be great to let a few more factions have signature vehicles.

I know this would be tricky to implement and balance, given that tanks would be a new kind of enemy skeleton and could probably end up looking weird. But if they can do it, I'd love to see it, because superheroes love smashing up, blowing away and throwing tanks all over the place and doing this in-game would be awesome.

I've heard about one arc that involves Blacula.

That may or may not be what you're looking for.

Hey! I want to compare going rogue to the star wars NGE.

Already been done, with I13's PVP changes.

I wonder what this expansion will break.

That is not a mask, that's his face.

I think he's referring to "open sandbox" gameplay - ie, you can go *anywhere* in a game environment and play any content/story arc in *any* order you want versus having to follow a set pattern of leveling certain stories in certain zones only at certain times of your toon's leveling lifespan.

Save limits to keep characters from dying all the time, that's pretty much what we have now.

We all know it's Champions Online, mate.

'Open World' is a very double-edged sword. A lot of more 'traditional' MMOs have stuff like that, open area quests or raids or whatever. The problem is, from what I hear it usually means you have to queue up to get a chance to kill a rabbit that has a chance to drop a foot that you need ten of, or open-world PvP, which is a greifer's paradise and everyone elses' hell.

I already play all the ATs.
