NCSoft had nothing to do with that other game. That other company split off from NCSoft a loooooong time ago. Paragon Studios develops CoH now. But even if what you said were true, just because you can implement something in a brand new game doesn't mean you can just cram it into an existing game and expect it to work.

All of that said, should the devs every manage to implement power customization/alternate animations for power pools (and thus travel powers), the number one thing I'd like to see is the current flypose emotes rolled into that, and that would also be a good excuse to create an alternate animation for SJ like what you're describing.

Pre-EDIT: Oh wait, I thought you were describing something similar to how the Hulk starts his leaps, but this video from that other game looks pretty much like our SJ except for the landing.

Anyhow, since no one else actually answered your question w/ reasons why this couldn't happen, allow me.

This cannot happen because if people could switch out of a part of their powerset--even if it was only the /secondary, people would create less characters. Why make a new one and go through the grind, after all, if you could just try another set on your already 50 toon?

This, in turn, would mean that less characters are created. New characters are the life blood of the game. If less are created, there will be less people to play with at low levels, in turn making for a worse experience for new players/characters. Which in turn makes people not want to make new characters. (insert downward spiral here)

Eventually we have people mostly playing high levels, and other players leaving because the game is unfriendly to low levels.

*Note that this is a hyperbolic example of what could happen, but is nonetheless semi-accurate.

Did you give generic names to all your characters?

Do you not play them?


I know each of my characters powersets by the name alone--and that's not to say that I name them specifically according to their powersets, but that each one is memorable. Different costumes help as well.

If knowing the name and AT doesn't give you enough info...perhaps you should delete the character? I don't imagine you play it all that much.

So I had an Idea, somehow somewhere in the game, whether with vanguard merits, reward merits, A-merits, or maybe buying them with inf from a special praetorian contact;

there should be a one-time-per-character option to buy around say 6 extra enhancement slots (to be placed on your powers at the trainer)

what does everyone else think about this idea?

however, I don't plan to demand the dev's do anything, the only purpose of gathering votes or such is so they can see what the level of player interest is in such a feature. that way they have player interest to take into considderation when they decide to do something or not.

and I mean more that one crazy player with a crazy Idea. a group of players agreeing that a certain thing should be. the devs can do as they like, this petition is merely to show the level of interest in other purple IO sets that are not in game currently.

where as with Def, seeing as the cap is 300% no restrictions need to be applied until someone actually hits that cap..

until the issue release that gives us higher level praetoria zones for higher level characters to get contacts and missions, praetoria is a long job.

when it was opened up to higher levels to walk-in, I did go back but I had a sinking feeling and this thought in the back of my head: "god I hope they don't lock my character in here again by some accident"

so.. let make it easier on praetorians so it's not so much of a jail in the meantime.

how about double XP for praetorians? just until higher level zones are released.

ANYways, leaving that out of it, I still say having a purple IO set for every effect would be awesome, and I would love more Res AND Def especially when exemplared, I think there should be 1 purple of res and 1 of def

other bonuses for set numbers (my opinion):

(2) 4% regen
(3) 4% recovery
(4) 7% energy and negative res
(5) 7% fire and cold res
(6) 10% psionic and radiation res

that would be kick butt awesome, then with 4 res powers (using set upto 5 on each and 6 on 1) counting tough; instead of 32% res to energy and neg and fire and cold, I'd be able get 70% res total

I think the def should be similar but defense oriented.

UNIQUE 10% def (all damage types)

(2) 4% regen
(3) 4% recovery
(4) 7% energy and negative def
(5) 7% fire and cold def
(6) 10% psionic and radiation def

bassically I believe if someone is gonna take the time to get expensive superior rare recipies to slot anything it should make-up for anything they are lacking in that category (without maxing out their weaknesses of coarse).

and softcap is 75%, hard cap is 90-95%, 45% gets you killed against AV's.
