    No "More"

    Anything they add will be more.
    Well yeah, if you want to get technical, but the idea is a NEW idea. It's not like "more powers" or "more loot". Anyone that actually describes SOMETHING is contributing. And that's the key there, the description.

    Saying "I want more of" X doesn't help create new ideas. It's just a blank slate, devoid of meaning. My suggestion gave something SPECIFIC that the devs can work on if they choose to.

    Just saying "more" without being specific is what I'm against, because it doesn't help anything. That's the point I was trying to make.

  3. Ah, I figured it was trying to find that many of that mob that required a High Pain Threshold. Learn something new every day.

  5. What does the title have to do with the question?

    Wait wait wait.... if you're JUMPING.... how are you walking.... like walking in the air or something? Cause if that's what you're talking about, I know a few citizens in the basement of Town Hall that can show you how to do that.

    No "More"

    Okay, we've got a market. We've got side switching coming. We've even got the damn power customization that we've always wanted from day one.

    And I just saw Marcian's thread on WALKING. Seriously, we can now WALK for the first time. I suppose you have to RUN for 5 years before you can WALK huh?

    All joking aside, that brings up the question... what other "new" stuff do YOU want to see added to the game? What features do you wish this game had that it still doesn't have yet?

    And look at the title - No "More". I do not want to see "I want more" of this or of that. We're thinking outside the box here, not more of what we already have, but new stuff. Not "more travel powers", not "more types of IOs" not "more end game content". NEW stuff. What do YOU want that's NEW?

    I'll give my one suggestion that I think this game is missing: Rebuildable environments.

    I know people have been begging for destructible environments for ages now, and with the Mayhem missions we know it's possible. But as you know, if everything was destructible, then Atlas Park would be CONSTANTLY leveled by players playing around. So I've got an idea. How about the opposite?

    No one ever goes into Boomtown, why? Because there is virtually nothing to DO there. How about letting us REBUILD Boomtown bit by bit? Similar to the fire fighting in Steel, there could be NPCs throughout that give us temp powers that have no use except to help rebuild the zone. Let's say there's a guy that has a "brick and mortar gun" that we can get. Hey, it's plausible in a world with superheroes and mad scientists all over! Add a few fire extinguishers stolen from Steel to put out some of the fires in Boomtown. Stuff like that. Let us help rebuild Boomtown!

    But wait, won't that mean that the zone will be rebuilt quick, thus ending the event? Well, let's have NPCs in the zone be allowed to destroy the buildings again, just like player villains can destroy stuff in Mayhem missions. To rebuild the zone, the heroes would have to be building at the same time that they are fighting off the respawning NPCs.

    And if the heroes somehow manage to finally REBUILD all of Boomtown? Well, they've got to sleep SOMETIME, and the NPC villains will begin to take down what they've worked on while they are asleep. Then we could see the rise and fall of the zone constantly. With a concerted coordinated effort, players could actually rebuild the zone. And by working together and keeping a few "maintenance heroes" around at all times, they could keep it that way with their effort.

    All of these activities would be worth XP, of course.

    So, what do you think, and more importantly, what NEW ideas do YOU have for the game?

    No "more" please.
  8. Decent post. This was my favorite part:

    Your sarcasm would be funnier if it were more accurate. Want to see how much I HAVEN'T contributed? Look at the Guide to My Guides in my signature. I've contributed plenty. And when people's questions have been sufficiently answered by someone else already, I see it as my purpose to start having fun.

  14. The Guide to My Threads



    Well, I've written a LOT of stuff. So much stuff that I am having trouble getting it all into my signature along with all the OTHER stuff that I'd like to put in there. So I figured I'd use this thread to make a "guide" to all my "guides". And when I say all my "guides" I mean actual guides, and other "stuff" that I've written that is substantive. Not that crap you read from me every day, the short, stupid, vapid statements. The good stuff.

  16. Everyone should know that I have updated the guide. The smilies that I had linked to were obtained by taking a SCREEN SHOT of them from my previous forum editor application. I have now found the SOURCE FILES and original images, so I was able to upload them.

    Mr. Yellow lives again, back in his original quality again!

    hmm... I would have put a smilie after that, but we have the sucky smilies again.

    Wow, it sure is a good thing that I saved all the smilies off of the original board now, isn't it?

  21. Roll an FF Defender and you can bubble your poor pet! Works for me!
  22. You should really read this. It has what you may be looking for hidden somewhere deep within.
  23. Darn it, I was HOPING this was going to be another RL political thread! Pork, you've ruined my day!
  24. Ares, we need to talk. I think we should see other people. We just don't have anything in common anymore!
