I want a Big Red Ball!
No, no, not as power or anything, just in the game.
[censored]? u ask
lemme explain
In one zone in CoH (Talos) and one zone in CoV (Nerva) there should be a single big red ball that does absoutly nothing except when you attack it, it gets knocked back a bit. By every attack not just knockback attacks. It cant be destoryed or anything, just a Big Red Ball to hit around, thats it.
How big is big?
Well not huge. Just like 1 meter in diameter. Thats Big for a Red Ball!
The reason for just one and being in just one zone is so you dont run into it every time you log on. Maby you'll only run into it once a month or something, then youll be like "WOW! a Big Red Ball!" then you will knock it around for a few minuties laughing very hard then you will leave saying "What a cool Big Red Ball"
Whats the point?
A little extra thing like this would add tons of fun!

BEST IDEA SINCE SNOW BALL FIGHTS
I live for the day when I see in "the Big Red Ball is up" in one of the zones and groups of heros or villains all stop what they're doing and run out to see and play wit the ball.
Then go back to what they're doing.
Amazing what a simple game of kick ball can do to a player. No uber content just a simply ball and the ability to move it around for fun and amusement.
Didn't there used to be a blimp in Atlas?
I might be the only "No" in this thread but I hope they never introduce something like this. I come to paragon for super heroics and maybe a bit of role play.
Chasing a ball? Ugh! No thanks.
This is a song about a super hero named Tony. Its called Tony's theme.

Why would you have a issue with a BIG RED BALL in game. If you don't like it or don't want to mess with it just walk by it, like you would a car or dumpster that is in game but, I bet you can't. I bet you can't walk by it without kicking it aleast once.
...Picks up BIG RED BALL
...Teleports to highest building
...Waits for Jagged to walk by
SWEET!!! A big ball would be awsome!
5 Stars!

Wait how can you be against something that makes the game more social friendly? I mean isn't that what you want bases to be (looks at the link in your sig).
What super heroes don't ever get to take a pause or a break and see some kids (yes I know there aren't any kids in paragon city) playing kickball and have fun with them? C'mon now...you can fit that into your role-playing activities.
Some kid has lost their big red ball -- maybe its an experiment you investigate it -- kick it around. See its harmless and move along or call someone to pick it up out the streets. How does this distract from your superhero adventures?
Just like Pocket D does not interfere. For those who don't want it in the normal zones -- it would be a great mission instance zone for Pocket D. There's no getting around saying no to the Red Ball! It should be done!
BRB FTW!
I'd love to play with the big red ball in Steel Canyon. I'd want it to go a long distance if I kicked it though...
"ok, off that building, over the parkway, off the billboard, under that overhang, off the fence... nothing but net"
And if no one comes in contact with it in more than 15 minutes, it respawns in public somewhere so no one can hide it.
I would think that using a power on it would knock it a fair but close distance but picking it up and throwing it or kicking it would make it go a long way so you can bounce it off a group of buildings, or play catch with someone from a few blocks away. And simply running into it would just make it roll along in front of you.

Or... If "It" you have to run with the ball and everyone has to try to take it from you.

Or if it landed in the hands of an AV and you have to take it from HIM.
"yeah it landed in my yard, what are YOU gonna do about it little hero?"

No I would want to hide it. 
make the respawn time an hour. that way you could play find the BRB.

All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. Even the Xmen stopped to play basketball sometimes. I even recall 2 issues devoted to Girls night out and Boys night out. While things didn't stay sane and normal for long when they were out, the fact was, they went out to decompress.
My hero has the best time in Paragon just helping people and busting criminals in exchange for Twinkies and Grape Soda. A Big Red Ball would be a nice distraction. Besides, as several people have suggested, it would be a neat thing to have and have it develop into a plot from the Gamester.

Ballhog badge, keep control of the big red ball for 5 hours. hehe

This is one of the best Ideas I have ever heard. I hope it goes through
Think about the fun little fire imp trollers watching their imps spaz out on the big red ball, or singy trying to hold it lol, or fluffy trying to terrorize the ball hehe.

OMG I am afraid to type anything cause it might get sensored.
I am in for Big red Ball as long as they are not attched to any super hero
Don't fear the censorship. Say as you wish and let it be their drama.
I myself love the idea of using the game's much touted physics engine to create a huge red ball. I mean one at least 4' tall by the in game measurements.
Have one ball on one server somewhere at any given time. Let the masses find the ball. Let them punch the ball. Bounce the ball. Be jolly and merry with hero and villain alike kicking around a big red ball.
Yet, as awesome and revolutionary that this idea is there'd need to be an end.
The ball shall have only 5,000 hit points. Why? So then while all the joy is had, let there be havok in return. Instantly whoever busted the big red ball would be marked with a bright red arrow pointing down from the sky at them. They shall be marked, cursed, and disgraced by their peers.
They shall be marked the BRBB, the big red ball breaker.
I LOVE the Big Red Ball!!!
Like others have said, I'd like it in Pocket D as well. It be great if they could make ruled events in Pocket D, for Kick Ball, Soccer, Dodgeball, and Free For All (Elimination Tag). They said they wanted Pocket D more interesting...This would be a step in the right direction.
Awesome Idea!
Make the Big Red ball an emote, where when used you summon a targetable ball to bounce around, this way a team could summon a few when waiting, or like in the Terra Volta Trial when waiting for an ambush etc. If ignored for more then a minute allow it to fade.
I remember from some board, kittens have bad memories :b
that there is an emote to turn yourself into a pumpkin. Can we do that with the big red ball.....While the big red ball is out on the field you emote yourself into an identical big red ball to confuse your enemies while fluffy attempts to terrorize the real ball into submission! Yay for the big red ball!

its totally illogical to be against this idea. this is one of the few suggestions that has no negatives.
