I'm not going to suggest my own powers because it's not worth getting an arguement or whatever. but it would be a cool idea for a launcher of different rockets containing explosions, webs, acid. It sounds basically like a combination of all those gadget powers in a form of rockets but at least Rocket Launcher would make maniacs happy

I didn't say Rularuu's 3 attacks to be autohit, I said only the single target. Sorry if I mislead you. I didn't mean it as an insult I just expected people to be nice and calm. If what you said about the forums is true then I can't stomach it. I'm not use to internet and have expectations that aren't genuine.
Sorry for implying you're picking a fight but that's basically what arguments are and I retaliated. Hope we can forget any sense of hatred or demise. -
Quote:Backhanded way of calling you idiots? Now you are putting words in my mouth. I'm implying something else that is soooooo not worth telling because you just don't seem to get what I'm saying and are looking for a fight.Originally Posted by Techbot Alpha
Not possible, otherwise teleport would be possible in Pocket D without adding TP friend. As it is, ALL TP is blocked by that power. That seems to be a tech limitation. Now I might well be wrong. HOWEVER, all current 'no TP' blocks in game are, to date, carpet ones. Ergo, that is highly likely to be a code issue.
Nice backhanded way of calling us all idiots. Your 'actual charisma' doesn't seem to be doing too well here.
The Shadow Shard IS Rularuu. The Aspects, i.e. Faathim and Lanaruu, are PART of Rularuu. The ONLY way to fight Rularuu as a whole is for the entire Shard to be melded back into one, big, dimension swallowing thing. Rularuu. If you are going to argue make sure you actually understand the lore before spouting your ignorance. Just, y'know, an idea.
I don't know fully the lore of Rularuu, you got me there, I was just confused due to seeing a CoH looking made photo of the guy so I didn't bother finishing the lore which meant missing the part that it explains it.
I'm not yelling or trying to make you feel stupid. I'm trying to explain myself and you are just trying to find a fight. Well I'm not giving it to you. y'know, Benefit of the Doubt. -
Quote:Read what I posted before your comment. This is my idea which cannot be explained fully through typing. And the devs aren't going to copy/paste this, they will obviously improve or just take pieces and make the rest their own.Originally Posted by Necrotech_Master
i agree with hyper and techbot, there is NOTHING fun sounding about this trial
i would like to see shadow shard stuff be used more, but this is ridiculous sounding and nobody ever in their right mind would run it
people already rarely run CoP trials (partially cause of design and partially cause of absolute crud for rewards)
The idea was just "FOR FUN!" as the 3rd button to get to this page says. You guys are acting like this is a profession and not "going with the flow."
The rest I want to say is already in the previous post. -
Quote:Lol Well said but you are as wrong as right. The no TP thing was to prevent Incandescent and any other TP to TP from the hospital to the other side, therefore rezzers are a must. OF COURSE travel powers would be excluded. Logic is understanding and you definitely do not have my understanding, that's my fault because I'm not giving all the information on each detail.Originally Posted by Hyperstrike
No. The shard IS is prison. As in they entire frickin' thing IS Rularuu. There's no "cell" someplace with Rularuu locked behind a door. He's behind the walls, under the floors and above the ceiling.
And penalizes those who use TP as their travel power. NO.
Uhm. NO. Mindless button mashing isn't fun. And you're not qualified to state what "the majority's" tastes are by failure of the "are you, yourself a majority?" acid test.
That doesn't mean we should welcome it or worse, beg for it.
I see the thought process. That doesn't mean it's "logic". It simply means you've constructed an idea chain. It doesn't mean it's a "good" idea chain. And it doesn't mean it's going to result in something people are going to want to run.
Okay, standard code rant.
Essentially you're suggesting the devs put a bunch of work into completely duplicating just about every animation in the game to a brand new player rig. They've already come out and flat SAID it's not happening anytime soon.
Good luck with that.
If the devs said that then fine, it's JUST AN IDEA! The main idea is said in the title, the rest is just my ideas that can be manufactured to their full potential ONLY by actually conversing in physical appearance. I can't explain my vision in typing, it cancels out my actual charisma. I expected people to have a little imagination and cooperating by suggesting other things instead of immediately falsifying every detail without even thinking of the power of Benefit of the Doubt.
And yes, the mediocre players of this world like button mashing. Actual gamers enjoy more sophisticated play.
And you completely missed when I said "cell" meant his sanctuary. The same as Faathim and Lanaruu. If you're going to argue right then read and understand what it is about.
This argument will never end because we both think we are smarter than the other. And we both know no one really needs falsification and suggestions only help the devs if this catches their eyes. So let's do everyone a favor and just not argue and improve this concept, or shut up, instead of saying "NO." -
Quote:1) The first phase is so much easier with a full zone.Originally Posted by Techbot Alpha
1) You do realise the Shadow Shard IS Rularuu's prison? That's the whole point. There is no one place where he is imprisoned.
2)
Phase 1: 100 of every minion type? So an uber hunt, then. Uber boring, too.
Phase 2: Can't teleport? That is going to suck big time. The rest is just confusing.
Phase 3: Again, there IS no cell. All attacks are one shot KOs? So like a bigger, cheatier version of Hami, then. Again, this sounds like a giant ol' heap of not a lot of fun. Pain, in fact.
3) Four arm rigs are impossible, currently. Locking EATs behind this would piss SO many people off.
So, yeah. Not happening. /Unsigned for good measure.
2) I know it's his prison and since it IS a prison there has to be a place he hangs out to keep spies or whatever from spying (to make it logical since it isn't reality and it's not thought through that far) so the "cell" is basically a room. The Chantry and the Storm Palace aren't cells either, they are fortresses as is Rularuu's place of protection from Lanaruu and others.
3) The no teleport thing teaches the league to come prepared and spam heals. It's a strategy.
4) The more action the more fun it wil be, that's the majority's taste.
5) Anything at this point can be a "bigger, cheatier version of Hami" We are talking about a being that destroys universes and according to the Ouroboros guys it will be Paragon City's only chance against the Coming Storm, so even in reality he is a bigger, cheatier version of Hami
6) You didnt even look through the logic in this and you immediately thought I'm a young brat who says "oooo this is cool" without thinking. There is more to this I didn't mention that you don't see and it's not worth mentioning now.
7) I don't know anything about animating and I doubt you know enough either but as I see in Dual Blades/Pistols and Staff Melee, it can be done. The EAT are also for F2P, these archtypes are going to be a lot more rewarding to get and a lot harder so not going to see many of them very often. -
"To see crotch or not to see crotch?" THAT is the question.

Featuring all 7 of it's Aspects (With Faathim the Kind and Lanaruu the Mad minipulated to Rularuu's side).
My idea is quite complicated but thought through. There are 3 phases for this raid:
Phase one: Activate all Keys in the Storm Palace after defeating 100 Brutes, 100 Wisps, 100 Nutterlings and 100 Eyes. Then inside the storm palace will be Lanaruu pissed and as the battle goes it summons a giant storm cloud every 5% of his health. After defeating him a portal to a new Shadow Shard zone opens which leads to Rularuu's prison cell.
Phase 2: from where the portal sends you to, 3 miles across is the prison cell of Rularuu which is just a humongus Storm Palace/Chantry. In this zone you cannot teleport or be teleported and hospital is at the portal. To enter the cell you need a special badge which is given when completing a TF based on Rularuu trying to escape with a plan but needs to be continued at the raid AND needing to defeat his 7 aspects for them to merge into the destroyer of dimensions. Each Aspect has a unique way to defeat or make it killable according to its aspect, e.x. Faathim is empathic so he has 1 HP left and is a non-attacking ally and can't regenerate, to make him a villain the league must heal him to 100%. When he is an ally and enemy he heals and buffs the other aspects.
Another is Ruladak which is Rularuu's strength so he has 95% res to all damage and requires alot of resistance debuffers to kill him. The league needs to fight them all at once on a large island next to the Cell.
Phase 3: Entering his cell. He is an enormmous being as documented in Paragon Wiki. He has 3 attacks and all are one hit KOs, a cone, location AoE and a single target autohit. He has every buff and advantage that the Aspects had like 95% res to all. And to make it tougher each 1/7 of health he loses releases an aspect.
Prizes: This is NOT for PUG leagues so it should be rewarded heavily. I thought giving it a vast amount of mouth drooling rewards like Rularuu based epic archtypes: a four-armed brute which is melee based or a ranged based Wisp (seperated rewards), 3 hero/villain merits or 150 reward merits, 1 reward token, etc.
This depends vastly on what the 7th signature story arc tells since Rularuu is based upon it.
Making the story is quite simple but those are the devs jobs. Like the raid doesn't kill it it just foils it's plans and remains stuck in the Shadow Shard. -
Hey, guys. I created a short story in a short time and need opinions for self-record signing. Thanks in advance.
The Impeccable of the Independence
By: The Technophile
"Hello, my name is Rocky Wrecker, I have super strength and can cover myself in anything that is earth. This is my story of how I became the only one left standing in my Super Group.
We will start with the villain of the story, it's name is unknown but by default I called him Noisy. He has a wolf's head, a wolf's tail, a human body with black fur and skin, has blue ghosts twirling around him and genuine skulls on his chest, shoulders and knees.
Why Noisy? Because his abilities are based on his singing. He summons ghosts, raises dead and controls negative manner. No one can remember it's singing because those who live become def… Like me.
I have researched it since after our battle with it and found that he was in blurry pictures in 4 underdeveloped countries that a 1/10 of each country's population was mysteriously killed. If Noisy was the culprit then Paragon City is in trouble.
Me and my girlfriend Flaming Betty have a P.H.D in Philosophy and we shared our project in gaining it in proving that the mythical creatures known as the Cyclops and the Minotaur existed, so we know how to find a creature. But instead, the creature found us. 34 of my Supergroup members have died just by hearing the creature sing then me and the rest have put ear plugs, but it wasn't enough. Noisy summoned endless number of Zombies and ghosts every time we kill them, eventually the entire Supergroup, and my dreamgirl, died.
I was but barely breathing when Noisy came to me, removed my earplugs and started to sing. The pain was more of a torment than torture, mixing my memories so I can't resist and pressuring my mind in an extreme level and as soon as I became def, my ears bled and the creature walked away with me barely alive.
This creature's nature is very bizarre, it kills those who it thinks would be a great pleasure in "teaching a lesson" but only those who bleed through the ears as it plays it's song earn their reward in living and never to be killed by it in future presences.
Paragon City calls it the Gore Melody, and as I was telling the story, I have realized that because of me, Noisy is killing a lot less because the ultimate finale of my bloody ears has satisfied it. It took my perfect ears to save all 48 of my Supergroup members and my girlfriend. This is my ultimate penalty of being naive, I needed to be independent."
No cruel comments like "It's horrible, you suck!"
Mature comments only, please. -
Ninjas/Poison/Mace
Can solo very few AVs with SOs and no incarnates, Solos AVs in under 2 minutes with IOs and Incarnates (without Lore), takes like 3-5 minutes to kill GMs without lore pets.
Ninjas and Necro have the best single target damage, surprised no one considered ninjas with all those criticle hits.
Mace Mastery (Black Scorpion) has Speed Boost. c'mon! That's common sense for choice for a poison mastermind.
With this build I soloed every lvl 50 AV/Hero/GM in CoV, soloed BSF and ITF.
Building another soloer, Necro/Dark/Mace, only for hero content. -
Now you tell me? Darn.
-
Barracuda failed because I forgot that you can't beat Reichsman without using all 4 temp powers which you need 4 players for.
-
Edit: Wrong thread
-
Soloed a MoITF already with my Ninjas/Poison MM without using Lore pets. I'm planning to do MoBarracudda next. Anyone want to give me an attempt SF after Barr? Must be villain side and lvl 50. I'm so proud of myself :')
And I'm planning to solo LRSF eventually. Place your bets :P -
As it says in the title. A much bigger version of those weapons that requires 2 hands, Just like the Stone Mallet from Stone Melee. Just a suggestion that should have been added a long time ago.
-
Wood armor!

Here are powers I suggest for a new Mastermind primary powerset "Insect Attract":
Fling Venom: Ranged moderate toxic damage. -res
Giant Spiders:
Black Widow: toxic damage, debuff
Web Spider: hold, immob, heal
Tarantula: toxic damage dealer
Swarm: Close cone high DoT(toxic)
Improve Insects: Improve Insects
Hornet Bomb: Ranged targeted AoE moderate smash/toxic
Giant Stag Beetles: 2 Brute-like melee based smash damage dealers
Offspring Spread: PBAoE Henchmen: When a henchmen is defeated while this power is in affect it debuffs foes around the body but automatically become on offensive mode to prevent from abusing the power.
Giant Mantis: Scrapper-like lethal damage dealer
Sugary Improvement: Improve Insects -
If we have Shield Defense we should totally get Shield Melee
-
As I said, the end game is much larger so people create less characters. But my point that you don't seem to get is making them a totally new powerset so people have a reason to make a new character with new powers to try out. If the devs can't make it different than it's possible similar powers then I'll understand, I just see many possible powers that can make it different and original. Think Cosmic Domination as 9 new powers for Radiation Emission, you never know.
-
Quote:You have really good points but my main point in new powersets is to expand the game. Some people, like me, love making new characters and playing them till the end game. For someone who played since issue 1 and has tried everything it kind of gets boring. With the Invention and Incarnate systems the end game is much larger but even those don't last for a VERY long time till the new future planned content. My ideas can be adjusted but the Power Customization could ruin some interesting ideas, like white Energy Blast ruins Light Blast and Radiation Emission ruins Cosmic Domination. You lack vision of possibilities, with the right minds the idea could impress you.Originally Posted by Adeon Hawkwood
To be honest, I'm not sure how much the devs really care about suggestions posted on the forums. It's fun to discuss possible future sets and argue about what powers they should have but at the end of the day it's something to do because you enjoy doing it, not because you actually expect the devs to implement it.
Two words: Power customization. With power customization Radiation no longer has to be radiation. The power types you listed: -res, -def, -recovery, heals are basically the powers in Radiation Emission. I fail to see how a cosmic set could enable concepts that a re-colored radiation emission could not.
You're missing the point. In CoX the different elements tend to have thematic similarities between different sets, for example Cold/Ice powers get a lot of slow effects. The general theme for Earth powers is mostly soft control (and -defense for Earth Control). A buff/debuff set focused on soft control is fine (in fact there are several that do that to some degree) the problem is that the two obvious soft control powers (a slow patch and a knock down patch) already exist in Earth Control. I think it could work but it's tricky. -
I got another idea for an armor: Light Armor, like Peacebringers but there could be lots of power potential for it

Blasters should totally get a Whip! Too bad Demon Summoning might have ruined it.
-
There are too few Mastermind pets so I would like to share possibilities:
Creature/Monster Summoning: Do I have to elaborate? Basically easily imaginable creatures, easy for the devs to make.
Giant Insect Attract: Insects are massively powerful but they have one weakness: Size. Take that weakness away and you have deadly creatures if they are controllable.
Customizable Henchmen: My first idea was to make the henchmen monstrous, robotic, etc. depending on the origin the Mastermind picked, Different costumes are available for each degree of Henchmen with powersets that fit the origin but you don't pick the actual powers nor the degree of each henchmen.
And if I try to think I'm sure I can think of other good ones.
