I think the world is ready for City of Heroes 2. It needs better graphics, vastly improved gaming engine, more customizations, etc. CoH is a great game, but it is REALLY showing its age.

He ran into an army of Weeping Angels.

I would like to see drills (think Bioshock's Big Daddy, or anything Gurren Lagann) used as a claw weapon, or maybe claws that actually turn your hands into some mutant claw like Captain Mako has, kinda like the arm mutation ability Chaos Marauders have in Warhammer Online.

Are you familiar with the phrase, "Boobs sell"?

Quote:Ok then. Anyone mind giving feedback that can help change this from an archetype to a powerset (or powersets)? I would be most appreciative of any help, especially the kind that Leo_G gave.Originally Posted by Aett_Thorn
Nobody is saying that it won't happen. Just that from what you've described, it seems much more like a new powerset or playstyle thing than it needing to be a brand new AT. Take that kind of feedback, and see if you can fit your idea into it, or change your idea to make more sense for what you're trying to get at.
Because I have to agree with those posters above: you can already do this in game with some of the ATs and costumes that we have available to us. And any changes that need to be made could be done within the realm of a new powerset. -
Quote:Again people, I understand that the odds of my idea being used, even in a form different from what I envisioned, is very small, so please stop reminding me that it probably won't happen. Also, I am pretty sure that there are some people who are anime-phobes that like tokusatsu.Originally Posted by Kirsten
Yeah. I'm sorry, but while this is cool, it's really just a powerset & costume thing. And the anime-phobes would be up in arms if this made it as an AT. Sorry.

@Leo_G
Glad someone is getting into the spirit of things. That could be one of the ancilliary powersets I was talking about. -
Quote:True, but I haven't even gotten into half of what I was thinking of. I was thinking that it would be its own archetype in that it has its own costume pieces limited to its archetype, with some being shared across factions, some being unique to one faction, and some that are similar but with slight variations depending on the faction.Originally Posted by VoodooGirl
What you describe sounds more like a powerset than a new archetype.
Also, there would be not only a primary and secondary powerset, but also several ancilliary power sets that are similar to existing power sets, are unique to the Masked Fighter archetype, such as a unique sword style power set with attacks that don't exist in existing sword style power sets.
Here is an example: the primary powerset focuses on hand to hand combat that is very flashy, yet quick and damaging, with some knockdowns and stuns thrown in.
The secondary powerset has fewer powers than other secondary powersets, but focuses on buffs that can only be activated one at a time. The buffs not only provide damage/debuff resistances, but also have secondary effects that provide attacks special characteristics, like adding knockback or increasing accuracy.
The ancilliary powerset does not have powers available to other classes, but has its own unique powers that add flashy, damaging attacks that also have certain debuffs and status effects depending on what powerset is chosen, as well as weapon skins unavailable to other classes. Of course, only one can be chosen, and they are designed to work with the secondary powerset buffs, receiving the better special characteristics, but ones that are unique for each powerset (for example, a sword ancilliary powerset would gain different special characteristics than a twin blade ancilliary powerset, even if the same buff was active).
Additionally, there is a unique travel power where they get to use something sorely lacking from this game: a motorcycle. It is similar to the super speed travel power, but the motorcycle is customizable, and it can scale walls (if possible).
I see your position, butI hope this clarified what I wanted it to be like. If it can only be put in a powerset (which it might be because the scope of my idea might be too big for its own good), then I will be fine with it, but I still hope some developers at least take my idea and develop it into something that is available in the future, even if it isn't in the form of a new archetype or powerset. -
I have been playing for a while, and while I am a free player, I managed to get 30 days VIP time, and tried out the epic archetypes. While I loved them (perhaps even more than regular archetypes), there was one thing that did annoy me: they were not very customizable compared to other archetypes. Sure, you could pick specific powers, and upgrade them accordingly, but the power pools themselves were very limited compared to other archetypes. Add to that the fact that the epic archetypes were bound to one faction, and unable to be shared across factions (with the arachnos soldier and widow being limited to villains, and peacebringer and warshade being limited to heroes), while regular archetypes can be shared across factions, the "epic" part doesn't seem very epic. I rarely see anyone use any epic archetypes on my server (I play Champion, and I have only seen one Arachnos Soldier, and none of the others).
So that got me thinking: what would make a good new epic archetype? One that is more customizable, more popular, more...epic? Then I found myself watching some Kamen Rider Double, and realized that tokusatsu is fairly epic (for those of you who don't know what Kamen Rider is, think Super Sentai/Power Rangers; both are tokusatsu). The moves are flashy, the designs eye catching, there is a fair share of both good and evil tokusatsu characters, and there never seems to be a lack of fighting styles or gimmicks that they can use. To me, they would make the perfect new epic archetype. I have several ideas concerning this, and will update my posts accordingly, adding stuff like power pools and other ideas in the near future, but for now, what does everyone think? Would a tokusatsu archetype, named Masked Fighter (hence the topic title), sound like a good idea, and would anyone ever play as one?
Before anyone says anything like, "This will never happen", or anything like that, I am posting this because I do hope that this idea is eventually made a reality someday, despite the fact that I know that the odds of this happening are very slim. Then again, I am also in the middle of writing a screenplay for an anniversary Power Rangers story arc that, when I am finished, I do plan on submitting to Saban, despite the fact that I will probably get a rejection letter. So bring it on! Success or failure, here I come! I don't care which, because I just want to do this!
