I'm playing an Electric/Willpower character, and having a blast. Not sure how the numbers work out, but I don't really care too much about that. My character is fun.

Can't log in yet. Guess I'll do something productive.

I downloaded a patch, and am going to log in. I'll be interested to see what's been fixed.

The Devs Choice missions are my first go-to. Then it's a matter of theme. There is a really good fantasy arc that I won't play right now because it provides allies.

and this picture shows why:

Oops. Anyways, the rest of my suggestion still stands. If only a limited number of people are making the majority of meow missions, ban them from the game.

Any chance someone from Paragon has read this thread and submitted bug reports to the devs? Or can you /bug AE problems yourselves? (I don't know, I haven't had the time to spend making an AE mission yet, so I am not sure what all is involved, though it looks like it could be fun).

When an AE mission is reported (make sure a copy goes to the devs), a dev could check it and if it's all monsters who don't attack but give great xp, they can just delete the mission (and not reimburse the creator in any way). And maybe send a warning to whoever posted it. If a person makes too many meow missions, cancel their accounts and ban their credit card. It might take a few months, but I'm betting this would solve the issue pretty quickly.

And then really good missions that happen to have a helper NPC wouldn't give next to 0 xp (which I think is a drastic, and not very good, temporary fix).

EDITED

And what would be wrong with giving characters flight, jet boots, a jet pack, etc, at low levels, as part of the standard power progression?

I've heard rumors that AH is back up, but I haven't tried it. You might want to check in-game.

That's a really cool idea.

The demon whip is really cool.

I'm not saying I want a clone of CO (not by any means). But they did have some really good ideas that could be implemented here.

I bet a better combat system be very difficult to implement in the game. It would require a complete overhaul of everything. I don't know why more costumes aren't being released. I'd think at least 5 to 10 complete new sets should be in every Issue.

I hate to say it, but CO has more character costume options than COH, not even counting CO's for pay ones. (and if you add in those vs COH's, it's really no contest).

I hope they are working on COH2, myself.

It could be like COH, but with:
Better character creator, with a lot more costume options.
Travel powers at an early level.
Lots more map options, that make sense.
A finely tuned graphics engine.
The ability to Block during combat.
Combat to be more interactive in general.
Maybe another bad guy group, or just expand the existing ones a bit.

I know when I played CO and a bunch of people were complaining, they always got shouted down and told that everything was ok. Now, hardly anyone complains on their forums.

For me, the actual numbers are partway behind the symbols.

That was awesome. And brings back a few memories. I wonder if my old MUD is still around these days? It's been probably 7 or 8 years since I last checked in on it, where it still had 100 or so people playing.

Did they limit transfers from heavy pop. servers to lighter ones, or was it anything goes?

I know Ritki Invasion had just happened when I was lagging super bad. I thought the events were already started, though. And I switched to another server and got no lag at all. So I'd say it wasn't on my end. But people with no computer experience love blaming players instead of bad servers.

Did the cards have any rares that gave in-game items for the computer game? WoW does this with great effect.

I've been on Freedom since I started, as I like having a decent amount of other players around. However, every time there is an event (like today), the lag gets incredibly bad. It makes the game unplayable for me. So what's a decent server that doesn't really get many problems during Rikti attacks, giant monsters showing up, etc? Thanks!

Travel powers at early levels, without prerequisites.
Capes at character creation.
More power sets.
More costume pieces.
