So you get around the current impossibility of the character switching a little.

I thought this might be a solution to the super complex character switch teleporting power the devs had contemplated, and hoped it might gain momentum.

I am most perplexed with this community, as ideas get more, "never going to happen", than an "I like it" or "I don't like it".

Personally, if they do finally figure out a simple way to switch character locations I would be thrilled. As this would get me, mostly, the same effect I am looking for in my purposed addition to the system.

But meh, say la vi.

This online community seems to be rather harsh compared to the others I have been on.

Here's some highlights of that guys argument for lowering the sub fee.




Someone pointed this out to him about his budget




Even BaBs chimed in with this to say:

If I can come up with a concept for Raluu, sure...but my favorite shield to make concepts for is the Talasorian Shield (I consider it the best shield in game). I dont want to work another 35 levels for a concept, and then hope to get the vanguard merits for it.

This has most likely been suggested before, but I was unable to find a thread about it, so here it is.

One of the things that annoys me the most about CoX is this: If I want to create a Roman Gladiator, I can. But he has to hit at least level 35 and complete a Task Force before I can make him look like a Roman Galdiator. If I want to make a Nemesis Soldier, I can. But he has to hit at least level 40 (or be SK'ed up to that level) and defeat 100 Fake Nemesis before he can get his Nemesis Rifle. I'd go on, but I think you get the idea.

What I'm suggesting is make it so when one character on an account unlocks a costume bit, weapon, or shield all other characters on the account get it as well. It sounds simple, but I'm not a programmer so I have no idea how simple or complex this would be.

There are a few problem areas with this though, so I'll try and solve as many of them as I can now. For starters, this would NOT effect Invention costume pieces. If these were made global unlocks the prices would drop so low you wouldn't be able to give them away and it would make the recipes useless. Also, with the ability to mail items to yourself in I17, it's very easy to get the Recipes and salvage to the right character.

The second problem is with Vanguard pieces and weapons. They are "bought" with in-game "currency" but since the currency is un-tradable, I don't see a problem with making them global unlocks. The prices may need adjusting, but IMO they are high enough as it is.

Third problem is the Epaulets. They are Hero-exclusive and I don't know if costume pieces can be flagged as Hero-only. But would giving them to Villains really be a problem?

I have a feeling that the biggest complaints about this will be from the "I worked hard for my [insert unlockable bit here] on all my characters, so everyone else should too!" crowd, but that is why I'm suggesting it like this. You still have to unlock the bits, but only once. I could have saved a lot of time by suggesting this idea as a Veteran Reward or Booster Pack.

And here's a list of what this idea would effect:

Cotumes: Witch's Hat, Stocking Cap, Victory Laurel, Pumpkin Head, Ear Muffs, Toga, Epaulets, Santa Gloves, Santa Boots, Hellenic Sandals, Naughty Halo, Nice Halo, Hearts pattern, Vanguard costume set, and Roman Armor set.

Weapons and Shields: All unlockable weapons and shields.

Long time vets could feel slighted if obtaining rewards were made easy - and recently joining players look at the long list of vet rewards and think "sheesh, I'm never gonna get all them."

Here's a potential solution: For every 8 vet rewards (ie 2 years paid game time) a player could purchase the next 4 Vet rewards early - for a fee.

However doing so means they don't get the badges, and they don't get different rewards when they play for the next year.

Not perfect as a system but it kind of hits a bit of middle ground for those who are impatient.

As I pointed out an endurance free attack with some meaningful damage could be a boon at lower levels and, in certain situations, at higher levels.

My main point was that if the practice of the exercise is to address endurance issues at lower levels then we should be looking somewhere other than the attacks that cost the least amount of endurance.

Whether this is exactly "true" or not...this was the basis of my suggestion.

The reason we were told was because the devs wanted to limit hoarding. It's also the same reason we were told why we couldn't store recipes. It doesn't really matter what excuses they have told us because the players have found ways to hoard items despite the artificial limitations placed on us by the devs.
