The idea is ok. I think a major opportunity was lost by not integrating tip missions into the papers and radios system. That's really where they would have fit well but they stand now as a separate system. I think your idea really pulls a couple of systems together well and gives the whole game a little more contiguity. However, like others have stated the lower levels need to be a simple experience that leads gently into the deep end for new players. We don't want players to look at COH the same way they do EVE.

If you think that the gradual ramp up of information isn't important try to explain the incarnate system to someone who hasn't played before. You're guranteed to have to explain at least two other systems (crafting and enhancements) to ensure that they have even a basic understanding of how to do it.

The tier 4 travel powers are generally poor performers. I would definately like to see a tier 5 of 'useful' powers added in because some people inevitably fiind a niche use for every power in the game.

A boost option for flight, a combat teleport for TP (team recall...) SJ? an IR like power would be interesting.

group fly is interesting and fun for a little bit but it loses it's gloss pretty quick. It would probably benefit from some polish.

I always double clicked the button so I didn't really notice the agreement. Now it's much more noticeable. I'll get used to it. But I'd prefer it the old way.

I'd appreciate it if more of the doors went somewhere. Not even all of them just more of them. I think in the ATA building thread there is a request for lobbies with rent-a-cops that say timely things as you enter your mission. Why it can't happen, object counts in zones would sky rocket, I don't know if there is a limit but if there is consider it hit.

personal apt would be neat but i don't find it to be a required thing. I think i'd rather spend more tiem in game than alone in my apartment. Having a separte storage for anything irks me so i'd rather see personal storage increased before adding in a local storage option.

I'd like to see some more variation in the way mobs behave. If the runners actually did something when they run away, pull an alarm, summon a buddy or two that would be enough.

AT's are not powersets. Powersets and power proliferation, I'm all for. A new AT would have to be really novel to gain my support.

Staff based powersets have been discussed. There are many issues.

I'd like to see a water based powerset but i think it would either look cheesy or be too graphic intensive. That said energy blast is a little cheesy and works all right.

NEAT!

I'll PM you the "story" so you can get a better idea of the character.

>_>

that means I'll actually have to write it down...

also, Cami is a rockstar, the whole cintiq thing is a cover to throw off the stalkers.

better hurry and post something worthwhile otherwise...
in before the lock, also you can not talk about the rules.

Does that mean I gotta bring the cake next year? If so, there's gonna be some disappointed folks.

see sig for references plutonium bloom is the green one :P

inky, had a bit of difficulty makin out that last one at first, almost thought you had thrown PB in there, but then i figured it all out, looks exciting.

the general consensus that i heard was that the cimm. underwater tidbit was a trial of concept. BaB's was always of the opion that, while cool, would be a large undertaking because new animation would be required for all powers...i think the fly animation would be sufficient for power activation and use the treadwater/swim animations for everything else with a fly like manuvering. Environmental powers are possible when you're in the hami goo you get a boost to your jump. I think the tech is there, the devs seem to be less sure to "do it right"

The moon zone. I think this is purely forum speculation, while devs have commented on the moon zone threads I don't think there has ever been a confirmation teasing or otherwise that this was in the works. I think hints at the changes to RWZ and even as far back as warburg may have been misconstrued to be hints at a moon zone.

So if you'd really like to make these things real give us some compelling concept art

No i still got the flashlight. I think i'll keep this thread open for march as well. unless, you know, someones got a better idea. I think there's at least one other person out there looking to do something with the idea.

Couple more idea's.

Where do the cars get fuel? where are the gas stations why don't freaks try to blow one up every once in awhile? Are there no schools? What's missing from paragon that ought to be easy to find what does that look like?

Lets open this up to a little photography, run around your city (watch for cars!) and take pictures and compare them to places in paragon. I think I've got a couple pictures that will work for this. I just need to get matching screenshots.

PS. this is totally not a grab for power (absolute power!) no one else wanted it so...I keeps it. (my precious)

PPS. Excellent Vexxxa, I don't think I ever thought of the underwater zone thing. Having played a bit of that in the rift beta, it makes me want it more!

BM should probably stick to crimefighting...or evilness...hard to tell sometimes

based on the title of this thread i would say give 35k free artz.

<pulls out the whip>

So get to work!

11 remain, their numbers are
41, 47, 48, 51, 53, 65, 68, 83, 94, 96, 98

My choice is "-"

Cool candy, excellent cause, I'd totally get some if I were going.

my little thought on scoring has really caused some trouble. Perhaps we need a game theorist to help us out with these things. You know one of those people that design lotto tickets.

At first I thought that their would be lots of complaints about the lag but then you reminded me about the servers moving here anyway, so, if that's the case I really see no reason to continue to keep the lists separate. However, I would be mightily upset to become *_NA after having been a patron for so long, to have my name be ninja'd out from under me would be unpleasent. Would I get over it...maybe...I would prefer not too. Perhaps a seniority clause could be added to the activity clause as far as who ends up getting the _NA or _2 flag.

I thought about adding a "scared cat claw damage" of 10 points leathal but it felt like a bit too much.

There have been run in's like this on the fan art boards too. Old threads brought to life for new discussion as new art or facts are revealed and the threads get locked. If a new post is irrelevent to the threads content then sure lock it up. If not let it live. People are always complaining about others not doing searches on topics but bringing up an old thread about a topic for new ideas and debate is liable to get it locked. Furthermore, we've, on one occasion, been told we are not allowed to discuss the forum rules. To see this thread has gone on for more than one page is a bit of a surprise to me. So, in before the lock.

I follow techbots thoughts, it takes more time than it should. I would almost say ditch the whole combination mechanic. I don't know that it's all that relevant anymore.

Like the title says cat gets stuck in a tree, could operate as a "zowwie," reward would be insp and a couple of inf similar to breaking up a mugging, reward set to match difficulty. External rewards include that "Did something good" feeling.

bonus points for:

catgirl stuck in a tree.
Dog stuck in a tree.
Crazy shoulder panda stuck in tree.
Tree meows barks or sneezes as you walk past.

A long time ago I wrote up a pretty similar zone event, before the steel fires were implemented. Mine was more based on a high rise tower, with entries to quick rescue and fire surpression missions located via broken smoking windows. But it had an introduction similar to yours. More noise more sound more drama. I like these sort of missions. They aren't the standard anti-criminal heroics like we normally get.

Overall I like the direction the idea's lead I'm not sold on the specific implementation. I'd much rather see an event coded to be the best it can be rather than budgetting it so it is merely better than it is now.

I'd also like to see some soft grouping enabled for these types of events.

I'd card him, and her, just to see where she keeps it.

darn tootin'

It's the ATA building edition. It's been more or less lost in the depths, as was this thread.

Some other idea's we've got all the bus stops we could want, show me the busses, or the bus station. Or what's happened to them...
