i agree with Memphis_Bill on these two points only as one the accounts are trial and two the others are banned as for the rest maybe not i also have many alts and have not ran in to too may name i could not get but i usually good at picking unique names. And been lucky on others.



- Old trial accounts. Their globals were all renamed "trial *random string*" so they're not that hard to find. Pop up a message for when they log in, IF they do, asking them to pick a global name (or have it revert to whatever the first character is, then give the message.) 90 days and they get freed up.

- Banned accounts. Given I still have a list full of spammers, and I doubt most people want oluiadf89234... still, those should just be completely cleared.

I am not a burn out like this man but part of what he is saying does make sense. I thing revamping zones is good but really up dating the old stuff would be great. Redo some of the old tile sets (blue caves of death) and some of the villain groups as well as a zone with all the missions there in. example (zone steel canyon as there are tsoo there do a part of the area as a small china town revamp the tsoo you could do a new tile set with an Asian theme or not. redo the blue cave set or not etc.....

I have had very sudden issues with coh in that first started with opening contacts and would stutter until i reloaded coh then would be fine but would do it again could be a mission a contact list almost any of the old missions or contacts would set it off. so i reinstalled it and the drivers then could not turn ultra mode all the way up no glow bits no reflective water or parts the shadows were the worst had to not use them at all and no world bit maps as well or higher or again lagg. Thought was graphics driver but again only effected coh all other games fine d&D online ran grate at max settings. Have talked to coh help filed bug reports installed reinstalled every thing from the graphics card to the Ethernet adapter direct x and the game its self completely removed deleted old file wiped with cleaner reinstalled new. And this is were i am now after all this it just gets worse can not even run coh with minimum settings the lag is so bad and looks like lag so please help?

as much as you want this to happen it most likely will not do to the vip as it stands right now requires a amount of time to get to the top of the tree. yes you can buy it and have a vip membership but have to be one for a while before able to get every thing from the tree. Its a loyalty thing and i under stand why its done i my self waited to get every thing and have been loyal. I say stick it out and you will get there \unsigned

For one they will never put out any more crafting peaces, one due to could make more money to sale to us than let us craft for free and as the other person said would rather have at character creation. They need a costume pack for those who have characters who are not magic or supernatural in there flying, jumping, teleporting, and so on (jet packs, teleportpacks like sky raiders, boots that have jets in bottom for jump and fly most could be used for both jump and fly, super speed maybe some odd boots or leg peaces that glow when used or belts i don't know but some thing needs done soon

easy only giving access to the lower level powers at higher level it balances its self

here is an example

Broad Sword pool
Hack - 20 - Melee, High Damage(Lethal), Foe: -Defense
Slash - 22 - Melee, Moderate Damage(Lethal), Foe: -Defense
Slice - 24 - Melee (Cone), Moderate Damage(Lethal), Foe: -Defense
Parry - 26 - Melee, Minor Damage(Lethal), Self: +Defense(Melee,Lethal)
Whirling Sword - 28 - Point Blank Area of Effect Melee, Moderate Damage(Lethal), Foe: -Defense

All of these attacks are all ready there for a melee scraper and as for blaster the redraw and the damage out put may not be as good as the attacks you all ready have but if you wanted you could take these instead of the other melee attacks you have from the second or primary pools.

The reason for the lower power pool is for concept more than any thing else temp powers just do not cut it. Were as a mid power pool would be a way around some the the limited concepts with the power pools. All of this with out putting together a whole new power set just use whats all ready there. most would be lower powers at a higher level so the balance is there. Heck if wanted you could have a tank with a shot gun power (taking away the ability to pick one of the other powers from your primary sets).

These power pools would be made up of the first few powers from some other pools all ready out there. The point is to let those with concepts and ideas not fitting with in the pools all ready to fulfill those concepts. There would be 5 powers I was thinking from level 20 on up to 28 but could be set lower. The point of this is for character concept more than any thing and to give him powers to help shore up a few holes that are there already with a few of the sets. I really got the idea while wanting a certain idea for a master mind that i was unable to do. I wanted a ninja master mind who was a mystic ninja with lightning like powers (and yes that's were i got the idea he has the hat as well ). Here is an example using the whip power from the master mind set had to add 2 powers to round out though, as i said these pools are for every one.

Whip Power pool
Blinding Lash - 20 Ranged, Minor DMG(Fire), Foe, -Perception)
Corruption - 22 Ranged, Minor DMG(Fire), Foe DoT(Toxic), -Res
Stunning Whip - 24 Ranged, Minor DMG(Fire), Foe, Disorient))
Lash - 26 Close, High DMG(Fire), Foe -Res, Knockdown, Minor DoT(Toxic
Crack Whip - 28 Short Ranged (Cone), High DMG(Fire), Foe -Res, Knockdown, DoT(Toxic)


Now this is just a start please let me know if this is a good idea and if so pass along to the powers that be thank you

i would think would be easy to just copy all the animations over to the character to let you set the default stance to what ever animations you would have available to chose from, this might happen when they do the power pools don't know but they still have not done this for fly so don't know if ever will happen

Then they could use other models that are already in game to sub for those we have like clock work for robots and so on

Let me try one more time to explain this the primary power set would be your pets and the buffs for them (gang war, the up grades, and so on...) the other would be the attacks you would gain from the set bow for ninja's guns for thuggs and so on. All they would have to do is have the attacks be change able by the player when picking the attack powers. Come to think of it it would be hard to do and would have a power set with 3 not just two a primary and secondary so they may not be able to do it. But i can dream as for the pets i thing what i stated with the subbing of the models in game would work

qwrekgylihdas

As i said before, splitting the the primary would in fact give more variation in this very popular set, (example i have a ninja master mind the only attacks he has are a bow attack which does not fit with the concept i have, so i do not have any bow attacks at all. if the were to split it, electric would work well, as the secondary set is storm for this toon. now i can think of may more combinations as well) as for pets i don't know how many times i have heard people say they would love some custom pets subbing models all ready in game would fix that, with maybe very little work, there again don't really know. (clock work = robots) (Family = thuggs and so on) until are able to make our own (may never happen ). as for ai thats a give me but if there fixing it look at the whole and do all of it.

As for blaster the secondary sets need a lot more of them as well as the top power in the primary needs the cost to use it fixed too much that i do not even use it if ever.

I think the first way would be to divide the primary power set like the villain ats. So you have the minions (zombies, mercenary's, robots, ect..) and the the companion power, (electrical, lazer rifle, dark energy, ect...) Also the easiest way to add custom minions would be adding some of the models you have in game all ready (thugs (The Family, Freakshow, Hellions, The Lost, Outcasts) that's just an example but would be up to the developers as to what fits and what would be right to have as a minion to command.

I also have said this a while back and think it would help with making mm pets fit with character concepts.

i would buy it but i buy every costume piece i can get so my vote does not really count

I already suggested this here http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showthread.php?t=192217
and it went no were. /sigh yes this would be a great idea i mean look there is a power that's a temp were up blow up (maybe with out the damage so no one would gain a advantage if there could be) I think a robot toon falling apart would be cool or a fire toon totally consumed by there own fire turned to ash ect....

Covert missions: In these missions if your a hero you are sent to the villain side to do under cover work or on a tip to foil some thing to do with a villain or group/ on red it would be to got to blue to contact the under ground to cause trouble or on a tip that may gain you power or what ever. You would be able to run around hero side with the villain still a villain as long as you don't attack the wrong guys, example say you decide to attack some long bow in atlas park if you do it enough this could trigger an ambush of that group. If defeated could end up with you in the zigg which in turn could lead to more missions to get out or paying a legal npc to get you out by paying with influence. i could go on but you get what i say it would use the old villain start area maybe expanded and updated in corporating it into the zone in brick town. this way a villain can stay a villain and be on the other maps with out changing there allegiance.

One shot stop missions: these would be like the radio but can only be found if just running around the map spotting suspicious behavior (like skulls lurking around a door for look outs or at night a group standing in the shadows around a door. On red side a group of long bow near a door or guarding some thing. (you could put temp powers or what ever to make it better seeing the only way to get them is by street sweeping or looking for them could even only give a chance like tip missions to have it happen

This would be good and also to give more options a mid level pool of six powers in each set based off for example blue side(longbow, Manticore, ppd, ect and on red freak show, vozalock, and thorns, maybe more. each set would be opened at level 20 after completing a mission for the pool you are after they would not be as good as the primary pools but slot able unlike temp powers and would help out those who love to solo to fill in gaps for those concepts we have.

I think it would be ok but part of those missions are the hunting i looked for clock work for 30 minutes in steel around my level took a while. I am not complaining its just how those missions are never really liked the kill 30 or 40 missions or even the low level 20 as well. This may be off topic a bit but a mission you could only get by street sweeping would be cool. Example a few skulls are standing around taking about how there going to get caught if there not out of there soon. defeat the small group all of them even if one gets away you don't get mission. on the last one he tells you the location of the warehouse or what ever there planing. instant mission this can also be done at other times like a few goons standing guard out side a building sewer ect.. You see these would be random and based off the foe you defeat
