Samson_Sledge

I am talking about teaming in general to get the badge

I dont speak of the Mentoring Badge,or the TF,Trial and Respec Badges,or the V-Day Mission,Badge.

I am talking about teaming.Period.

I felt it : (

So we make this badge make progress when you join one team,the bar progress of the badge moves a tiny bit.You dont gain more to the bar unless you join one team,and then a different team,and then another team after that.That would be the only way to get progress to the bar.

Patience would be a Virtue when going for this badge as it would be very difficult to obtain,yet not hard.

Whenever I come online,I notice that when I look to build a team,a huge majority dosent want to team because they are doing something else.I do understand that some people are genuinely busy as they are altering their supergroup base,or roleplaying,or in a supergroup interview.Other people however,just snub you,or ignore you all together.Here is what I propose..A Badge for Teaming.

The more you team,the closer you get to this badge,and if the badge alone isnt enough,perhaps we can connect this badge to something major and vital,such as..

1)Another Crey Weapon that is much stronger
2)Something that give you more HP
3)A stronger Military weapon.
4)Body armor of some kind
5)More Influence....

Those are just some ideas off the tope of my head.This Teaming Badge would work,just as long as we attach it to something important as though you were reading historical plaques and getting the Crey CBX-9 Pistol

The End : )

Why am I not comprehending,you ask?...

Because I want a Spade to be a Spade.
I want an "Arch-Villain" to be an "Arch-Villain"
Because I want a "Hero" to be a "Hero"!!! Mr. Sharker_Quint

The difficulty of the charachters I make,or the way I write their bios wouldnt mean jack to me anyway if I had to call an intended "Hero" an "Arch-Villain"
Those categories are not what I was pleading about anyway.I am commenting on some correctness in the AE system.This "Hero" addition to the AE system would provide some correctness and more content as well for all the storytellers out there,for those who love super-heroes,and their world to death,just like I do.

I have so many well-considered,well-thought-out,bad ideas because I care about Paragon City,and the players.This idea,I know is a good one.

What is so hard to understand about that,Sharker_Quint?
I am talking about a simple title change.I am opting to do this,here's an example.
Ex:I want to change the title of Samson Sledge from "Arch-Villain" to "Hero"
What would that hurt?Why is that so hard to accept?!?!?
That wouldnt affect their difficuly of your creation,it would be exactly the same,it just would have a different title!If you had to fight Samson Sledge,he would be titled as a hero,and it would not,i repeat,it would not,affect his AV difficulty,he would just have a "Hero" title and difficulty,you know?

I thank those who support me and this idea,but for others,it would be like trying to get blood from a stone..*falls out of exhaustion*

..and for those of you who do not like my drama,or my passionate bellowing of this idea...someone once said that "All The World Is a Stage"..and in time,all of you will play the parts it has to force upon you.

Love ya all!

The End : )

I realize that I am complaining and whining about this idea,because I care about it so much.I am a dedicated super hero fan,my favorite hero is The Incredible Hulk,and I believe that COX should give us absolutely everything that is within their power,not give us everything with pieces of it missing.

Think about what you want most in your life.Would you want it all,or would you want it with missing pieces?

I do apologize for the grief I have caused on the forums with this idea of mine.....and maybe in time the "Hero" option for the AE system will make itself present,and all I may need is a little patience,but like everyone who submitts an idea to this portion of the forums..I want someone,a developer,to see this idea and consider it,and maybe even run with it.

My "Vigilante" idea may have been bad
My "Purchasing More Enhancement" Slots might have been bad

.......but those ideas I came up with I fought for,all the way to the point of their destruction,just like this one,because I believed in them,and I KNOW this "Hero" idea should be contemplated and considered.Heck,for all I know it may be being considered.

The End : )

You just cannot have one without the other.

Wouldnt you get sick of calling your intended hero an Arch-Villain all the time?

You would miss the other half of the equation,and for some people,that fact sets in later,and it set into me the second I saw it missing!

If I were standing in a world full of arch-villains,I would be the hero.There is no way,nor should you try,to leave out that balance.For me,roleplaying an AV as a hero is stupid!

Pick the minds of the roleplayers and everyone else that you have ever come across,or have ever known.They,just like everyone else,want the real deal,and they want it as correct as possible.Leaving out the "Hero" Option in the AE system would deny that correctness they seek.It would also hurt storytelling options.When I make a hero,I want to see the word "Hero" in my targeting window.

Let me give you a little scenario here,and see what you think

"The arch-villain known as Samson Sledge saved Atlas Park Bank with his fellow Arch-Villain Big Ben Apollo.The Arch-Villain Statesman,along with his fellow Arch-Villains Positron and Sister Psyche said it was the most heroic rescue they had ever seen.The Arch-Villain Back Alley Brawler recently suggested that the Arch-Villains Samson Sledge and Big Ben Apollo be recommended to join the Freedom Phalanx,but then remembered something vital."Hey,Paragon"The Back Alley Brawler said "We are Arch-Villains,and we should be destroying this city" concluded one Back Alley Brawler,and all the Arch-Villains began to destroy the city of Paragon,and terrorize the powerless civilians."

Wouldnt it be nice to have a Hero in there somewhere to this bizarre scenario?
Didnt you just love my frequent use of the word Arch-Villains to describe what were supposed to be heroes?If not,I can come back and make the scenario longer and longer and longer and see if you do not loose your minds.

In life,a proper balance to anything has two sides to it.You take away one side to any of life's little balances,and this world would go nuts and fall apart,and the word "Arch-Heroes" dosent even make any freaking sense to me.

To conclude:I am someone that it matters to greatly!
I'm sure other people would agree with me.Especially when it does things like effect storytelling in the AE system.It would be boring as well without the "Hero" option in time.

Think about it.

The end : )

It sounds like,to me,that it is either/or.They cant ALL be Arch-Villains.

When you begin to make a charachter,it reads like this....

Minion
Lieutenant
Boss
Elite Boss
Arch-Villain
Person

What would happen if it read like this?...

Minion
Lieutenant
Boss
Elite Boss
Arch-Villain
Hero
Person

*shrugs*

So what would be wrong with just simply naming what they are differently if they are so much the same?

I am just suggesting having the ability to name your creations as to what you intend them to be.Samson Sledge is a hero,and it would be rather funny and wrong to me to call him an Arch-Villain.

I dont want to do anything to their powers or strengths or anything like that;I am just simply want to name them what they are,and as far as powers are concerned,we create charachters in the AE system that have mixed powers anyway.What difference would that make?

Wouldnt THIS idea matter to the players of the game?
I mean,wouldnt it seem funky to you to call what you intend a "Hero" an "Arch-Villain?"

If it dosent matter to the game,then why is Statesman called a "Hero",and Lord Recluse an "Arch-Villain?"

I notice that the AE dosent have a "Hero" option when you go to create a super.Why not?Why put "Arch-Villain" into it,if you arent going to put "Hero" into it?It just dosent make any sense.You cannot have one without the other.

The end : )

If the mystery behind Nemesis is meant to remain in shadow,i apologize for this post,but so much is not known about him,except what is given

1)He is known as the "Prussian Prince of Automations"
2)He has been alive for 180 years.
3)He has built doomsday devices,and weather control devices,and portal technologies.

..and what I have read on Paragon Wiki about the poison he spread across twenty of America's largest cities,and him being sworn in as Emporer of the America,and he,along with the Rikti Warlord Hro'Dtohz being the catalyst for the Rikti Invasion of Earth.

There just has to be more.Who created Nemesis?..Did he create himself?...He also founded a massive army to serve his every whim.What kind of speech did he give?..and much more.
I just know there has to be more

1)This TF would be in the level range of 45-50
2)It would take place completely in Portal Corporation in Peregrine Island.
3)It would be time-travel of course,and it would simply illustrate the orginof Nemesis,and who his creator was,if it wasnt Nemesis himself.

If there is more,I must know..lol..Nemesis is my favorite Villain and I just need to dig deeper into his beginnings.

The end : )

Anyway,it would be more content and more roundness to the game.You might have to alter the villain side jsut a bit to accomodate my ideas,but it might just work!

People are paying for more charachter slots.

People are paying to rename their charachters,naming them differently.

They are already doing this stuff to their charachters,as I have,and it all costs money.

Wouldnt all of this be unbalancing,using your logic?


I'm willing to wager that the reason that players stay away from those stores that advertise themselves online is because they are probably fraudulent,and will max out your credit cards,or whatever the case may be.Imagine how much money they would spend on their charachters if those stores were perfect?

Maybe only a handful of players would do it the old fashione way,and earn it.

Some people don't have a problem spending money to make their charachter better,or STRONGER,or different.What about them?

If you were to implement this into a prize for people who complete TF's or SF's,or Trial's,or Story Arc's rewards..they are still paying to win those trails and SF's and TF's,as they are paying their monthly subscriptions to play COX.

No matter how you slice it,the issue of money rears it's ugly head and stares you in the face.Paying money is already a way of life to play this game,and most people accept it.Balances can be altered,just like this game,which has been altered a dozen times already!

This game is somewhat unbalanced.Some people have a ton of things.Others have very little.If it were balanced,everyone would have everything.My slots idea would just be another thing to unbalance the game,but with balance,and with things such as the booster packs,with some people having both of them,and others not having them at all?

Somehow,the game carries on,and my idea would just be another addition to the balanced unbalance if it is implemented as I suggested it to you.If you want to put it into a TF or an SF,that is cool too,but the Dev's may see this as a way to make money is all im saying,and it would probably wind up being for sale.I am open to any way this idea of mine could be activated.

I just can imagine this as being a very popular power for tankers.Just picture it in your minds.I do understand that Marvel owns Thor and his mannerisims and his abilities,but there has to be someway to implement this power.What if the Hammer of Atlas summons Light?..or Darkness?

Things like that do happen DLancer.I do not think that everyone has both Booster Packs I &II.It is unbalanced right now,and it is just as normal that not everyone gets the special add-on's this game provides,and I do feel bad for those people,seriously I do,but more enhancement slots,like the Booster Packs would make the game more fun and as for the developers of this game,at the time,I don't think that even they were concerned with the balance of the game when they introduced the Booster Packs.

I am talking about a hammer that can produce thunder,or electricity.Yes,Thor's hammer can do that,but who says that only HIS hammer can?I was just using Thor to give you an idea as to what I was talking about.I understand that the War Mace has a few options where you can make it a hammer,but once again,it wouldnt be a hammer that generates electricity or thunder!

A lot of people dont wish to do that DJ,and it really can be frustrating to turn all options on and off again over and over,just to avoid the stores,and when you turn all the options back on,the stores are right there all over again,sending you more tells than ever before.

It could be called "Hammer of Atlas" or something else,and I know the hero Atlas,didnt have a hammer,but the "Hammer of Atlas" was just a name that suddenly came to meand it would be similar to the hammer of Thor,which could summon thunder,or to be original in Paragon,it could be used to summon electricity to deal with enemies.It could also be customizable,like all other weapons this game provides.
I think it would be a nifty weapon for tankers..just ask Thor
: P

The end : )

The idea sounds incredibly silly.Not that I am judging,mind you.

I gues it could work..heh heh heh : )

It's been all well and good that vilains escape from the Zig to the Rogue Isles,but dont super-villains,such as the Joker,ever escape from an Asylum?

It could happen a few ways..

Arachnos could stage a Break-Out at the Asylum,and a super-villain could go through all the normal things that it went through in the Zig Break-Out,but it's escape would be from an Arachnos Submarine,or Arachnos Boat,and there could be a docking place at the small patch of island at the bottom and to the North of Fort Darwin with a ramp lading up to the main docking area of the Arachnos Transport Flying Ships,for villains who Break-Out of the Zig,or a villain could jump into the water and(with the help of a loading screen) simply swim for it,and the nearest island would be the Rogue Isles,of course the new Asylum would have to have an ocean view.

Perhaps the Break-Out dosent happen because of Arachnos.Maybe Mother Mayhem and Malaise could stage a Break-Out with their Children of Rage as their backup as the children fight with Longbow and Cops.Upon escaping the Asylum,the villain(With the help of a loading screen)would simply swim for it,and wind up at the patch of land beneath and to the North of Fort Darwin.


I read in one of my posts a while back that "it was getting bland just doing the "Outbreak" tutorial",so her is my suggestion,a Freedom Corps Hero Training Program.
What it would be is a place for Hero's to train and learn how to use their powers in a civilized and a controlled,and heroic fashion.After they are done with training,they could take their new Hero liscence,and a bus,or a Longbow transport to Atlas,or Galaxy to begin their Hero carreer,or you can rename Freedom Corp Hero Training Program,and make the Acronym clever,like the Acronym could be H.E.R.O.,or F.L.I.G.H.T.,or something like that..

Infact,what if there is a tutorial for ever orgin this game has?,for example

Science could involve a player escaping from a laboratory,or finding his or her way out,but would have to train and learn by finding his or her way out by perhaps holding Longbow back.

Magic could involve a player learning his or her magical craft,and leaving his or her school,but not without being tested on the way out.

Technology could involve a player in a military setting,simply testing his or her technologically-enhanced powers out before entering Paragon to aid in the war on evil.

Natural could be in a peaceful setting,like a place where certain styles of Martial Arts are practiced,like a setting for Monks,and a player could naturally train and use his powers for good training before entering and seeking his or her own way to Paragon.

Mutants could excape from an experimental lab,or something...(I couldnt really thing of anythign for Mutants : )

My ideas could give players a broader and universal choice as to where they could start,depending on their orgins.


OTHER IDEAS:

1)Suppose a player messed up on an orgin selection(if the idea above this dosent work)What if a player could switch their orgin in game?It could make things a bit easier.

2)The Freakshow are of Science/Tech Orgin.What would happen if players could choose two,or three orgins for their charachters.Batman would be Tech/Natural because of the gadgets he uses to fight crime,and his martial arts due to his intense training.My hero Samson Sledge would be Science/Tech because his suit,a portion of highly-advanced technology was built by scientists.The idea could be cool.It would be cool.

The end : )

Oh sure,you could probably put the slots into a TF somewhere,and the player could earn the slots.Infact,that would be a good place to put them;In major challenges,like a TF,or the Abandoned Sewer Trial,or anything along those lines.A player could earn 5-10 slots for a single challenge,but I still see the Dev Team,making even more money off of this idea.

Buying more Enhancement Slots would probably be the only way it could happen.

Most of us want it a lot.Most of us need it a lot,and the Dev Team over at Paragon Studios,being ever so lucrative,would seize the opportunity to make more money.Look what happened when we wanted more charachter slots?...or when we wanted to transfer to another server?..or rename your charachter?...All of those have to be bought in order for it to happen.

Buying more Enhancement Slots would be no different,as It would follow the line of transfers,or renames,or charachter slots.It would just be another thing that would have to be accepted,like buying Booster Packs I and II
