I haven't done it. I haven't seen anyone do it.

I still see some "We need this or that to run this TF" but none of this "no newbies" thing.

How is this fun? Answer: It's not.

Please don't build missions which completely invalidate some archetypes. Give us alternatives. Let us move away from the ambush location and stalk. In short, let us play the game the way you designed the characters, rather than forcing stalkers into being really fragile scrappers.

No power from the power pools should be mandatory as they're just options to choose from. On the majority of toons Stamina is required. I think the base recov rate of players should be increased somewhat and the recov increase from the stamina be decreased somewhat, but stamina should be given a secondary end drain resist buff. This does a couple things. It turns Stamina from a "must have" to a "it'd be nice to have" power. Also the end drain resistance makes the power actually seem like a power as opposed to just giving you more endurance. Currently how endurance works as well as the next suggestion have always been a thorn in the side when making toons.

If everyone should have a travel power, why make it use a skill slot?
Quite simply put, travel powers is something all toons should have. So it should be a free power. I suggest making a small arc like the cape and aura missions that unlock a free travel power of your choice. It can be any one of the 4. When respecing you can change your choice. Also to balance things out so that getting multiple travel power isn't as easy now, in the travel power pools the travel power should be shifted to the 4th (final) slot so that you need 3 points in it to get it. The 4th power should become the 3rd power. You might say "what about group teleport and fly it wouldn't make sense to get group fly before fly." Well nobody really ever uses those powers. In fact a lot of people get mad when you use them. Just replace them with a different power.

Selling things should be easy
If I remember (been awhile since I played) when you put up an item you're charged 5% and when you sell it you're charged 5%. All the fee should come after you've sold the item. It should cost 0 money to put it up. Having an initial fee discourages players from taking down their item to put it back up at a lower price. Having the initial fee encourages a "let's wait a bit longer and see" approach. As said earlier.. selling things should be easy.

Now that the markets are merged, quality of life can ensue.
I think this suggestion might get some hate because admittedly this does not make sense conceptually. However I think the quality of life benefit from it outweighs that. Anyways my suggestions is to make money you earn go to your ACCOUNT instead of your CHARACTER. What I mean is that all your money on your account would pool together and all your characters would have access to all your money. If this ever happened (which I doubt but hey who knows) they'd have to get rid of the money cap though (the money cap is lame anyways since people can just siphon money to different toons). The reason this is beneficial is so you never have to log off and get on another toon then mail yourself money then log off then get back on your toon. Imo anything that forces you to switch toons then switch back is a bad thing. If you want to play the particular character you're on you should never have to log off it.

COH's debut back in ...04 anyways...

the info on the power says transfusion is supposed to do
2 ticks of healing,but when you use it, it only does one

so either its not healing properly or theres a description error

my suggestion is that if they decide to "fix" it
they should make it heal twice like it says w/o cutting it down
instead of cheaping out and changing the info

cause kinetics is kinda under powered
siphon speed and inertial reduction are only useful for running about

siphon speed is basically the same thing as speed boost
(i say get rid of siphon speed, move speed boost to the earlier slot,
and add make it affect yourself too)

repel needs a much farther knockback effect cause as is
the foe barely moves the skill procs many times and your excessively drained of energy
the point to repel is to keep foes at a distance (or run thru a crowd of foes to watch them go flying(fall on thier but, as it is))
so having a long knock back is key, but with a longer knock back perhaps
making it a percent chance is more balanced about 65-75% is best

transference says in the description that it affects all allies near target, but in the "detailed info" it says
that its a single target attack type and says nothing about a target based AoE effect
*ive noticed this is true for many powers with similar effects

as for other things
you still take falling damage using jump powers
(should have a fall damage resistance)

many powers with conical damage radius are too narrow
(radius should not be less than 45 degrees as a fault, those that are at 45 should be increased by 10 the ones under are all at 30 so thered be a 15 degree increase) (perhaps even git rid of conical for very short to melee ranged powers and make it cylindrical as to make it easier to use since foes are usually in your face and to the side)

the weapon choices are still slim pickins especially w/ axes and bows
(i say lets have a couple weapon design contests have a vote and
add the top 5 and 2 developers choice in every category into the game as default, non unlock content)

the costume choices for medieval and bestial/monsterus are also quite slim
(again i say lets have a design contest but add the top 8 and 2 devs choice)

and im sure its been said at least a few times by now but i really do think
they should add non-human body types (snake,canine/feline and primate
would probably fulfill almost everyones desires except for a few of us nut jobs who want rediculas things like birds or lizzard men
(easiest accomplished by modeling off a raptor)
(i think the counter point was that its a super hero game and thus animal are kinda unrealistic, but it causes genetic engineering and "alien" origin to be excluded or just look really awfull)

i am willing to create a series of revamped and "new" powersets if i get enough posters asking, and get a forums staff member willing to help me post it in a format that will look decent

(cause a link to a file host would be lame,costly (most require subcriptions for permanent hosting) and get overlooked, and forums dont usually handle spread sheets well or at all)
*will take a few months as i havent and wont start till i get at least 20 requests and a staff member promising to help post when im done
