The new non-combat system is going to be riddle based. A series of riddles, each correctly answered riddle awards xp when the series is complete you will get an end of mission experience bonus. Then you may enter the next string of riddles. Each series more difficult then the previous, they may or may not require research both in game and out.

It's a good thing it's NOT riddles, 'cos if you're as good at riddles as you are at guessing about game systems, you'd have been screwed! 
Aclaim and fame. Auto-web pages for your hero with a list of exploits and what major things you've done as your hero. What majo things your Supergroup has done.
Still here, even after all this time!
No riddles this time though o_O
Me wanty riddles! 
Violence has its own economy. Therefore, be thoughtful and precise in your investment.
My thoughts, one's probably an Enh/Insp production related task, you can also sell them for Inf.
I think it will be educational. . . some will require knowledge of science, mathematics, and logic that we can do over and over. Others will require limited online research. . .
Of course, I have nothing to support this idea whatsoever.

Someday Statesman is going to post something so cryptic that even he can't understand it, and thus will begin his decent into madness. Months later he will emerge as the mad super-villain Anarchist in CoV...

And eleven secret herbs and spices.
There is really only so many non-combat things that heroes are known to do in comics, they are:
(1) Design inventions to aid themselves and others in crimefighting (ie. temp powers)
(2) Solve mysteries by collecting evidence and clues to formulate a solution (ie. multiple choice discussions and travelling)
(3)Negotiations to conflicts by mediating between groups (ie. averting gang wars through politics and threats)
But in the end there is really only a very short list of non-combat things which a fulltime superhero can do and is viable in the game.

A HA! So, you admit it! 
I don't think so... partially because it sounds like he just started a thred to give him "stars" and the other half is... i don't want riddles!
I was thinking like real fed-ex missions where it's like a story arch but no door misisons (just tons of ambushes) and on top of that, detective missions like "Arcanum's" (best game ever, and please don't bother disagreeing. I'm just too stubborn) where you click on a guy and all of a sudden you have the 4 or 5 options on how to continue the conversation. And you can eventually talk him into telling you by picking up a package for him or just click on the "That's it, you're boring. I'll take payment from your hide instead" command (After this, I think I'm going to play arcanum..)
Just something like that. So controllers can finally solo. (which is funny because once they get their pets, the game is suddenly such a grind they don't keep playing...)
(another "()" because I love them"

We have to fight the Riddler cause there's going to be a special update of CoH vs DC

ok file that under no chance in hell
Personally I think they're going to revive the old idea they had where you could get your superhero up on the billboards and possibly even statues of the city. That's what influence was going to be originally for...
I would love that but even with all the stuff to put ones face on I don't think it'd be enough!

He sure looks ugly, though. So why can't I stop staring at him?
I think it's a card game like in Final Fantasy 8/9. You play with other players, get cards from villians and from defeated player, cards can be combined into Enhancements, and you get some experience for winning (in some non-exploitable way...).

Well, one way they could do it is you can take your debt and gamble it away literally - you win, you pass off some of your debt onto the loser.
I haven't heard anything about the noncombat system in ages. What's happening with it? :P

That was one of the things that was mentioned at some point...
But I was mainly just seeing if I could get any posts into the oldest existing non-stickied thread in the General forum.
Upsen.
edit - and it still doens't really answer anything about what's happening with the non-combat system. Is it on hold for a future issue I guess?
