There is new hope for the Big Red Ball

A Supergroup on Victory has setup a repel ball field in their SG base and bounce MM minions around. There is a video linked from this post.

If it can work with minions, it could work with temp powers and BIG RED BALLS!

Big difference is that the minion doesn't have the bounce or roll properties... this was stated as being the big problem with the BRB.

Now, I'm saying that Minion Soccer or whatever is awesome and a great step forward with people making Metagames out of City of Heroes. Hell, I want to participate in a game!

I'm still all for BRB, but this is what we all might have to settle for in the time being.

I vote NO.

NO BIG RED BALL!

You know why? Threads like this caused the Paragon Dance Party to be deleted for the new Pocket D.

Nice huh?

Calls that:
1. I wanna go.
2. I wanna relax there.
3. I wanna hang out with friends.
4. I wanna...

Resulted in...

An empty Pocket D (excepting events) and the same guys hanging out in Atlas Park under the statue... dancing... chatting... and lagging up the place with silly broadcasts.

The point is, make this ball, take time from other issues, and you will (I promise) see it unused in a month and forgotten in 6 months.

Making a zone red ball will simply be another something that will be a YAY thing for a little bit and then become an annoyance later.

If they ever make something like this, I hope it is for a seasonal event only like Halloween or Christmas.

Otherwise, we need so many other things like TF fixes/updates, Mission fixes/updates, and of course... the quarterly Regen Nerf.

While the thread bumping is happening anyway, I just wanted to make a plug for my hockey idea. Obiviously not as good, but maybe an interim solution.


I've never yet taken a hit from a bad guy skidding across the floor on his keister.

Well in video games you never get exactly what you want and sometimes we all need to face that. We are gonna get a half way mark to a big red ball filled with fun and joy. Nope next time there is a big patch they are gonna hide a new effect and when you in that game after the loading screen your suddenly ambushed by a big red jug and are knocked to the ground with a quick yell of "Oh Yeah" and the jug running away leaveing you to think "[censored] Was That?!?!?!?!"

.... Why not a throwable red ball like we get with the snowballs?

Except it goes 'kerboing' and flies around a bit before vanishing?

Since it'd be targeted, other people could *see it*.

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!

We now *have* a BRB on Virtue. (Well.... sorta)

But it seems none of the BRB fan club were hanging out at the Atlas Statue or in the D last night. We just got wierd looks.

I just want a fat guy figure for the costumer designer. That way I can create a character who is a BRB and also have another that gets the treasured name of: Tubbimura! The Greates Hero of them all!

I can just imagine the conversation:
<font class="small">Code:[/color]<hr /><pre>
Devs: A Big Red Ball you say?
Forum Manager: Yup...
Devs: And what will they DO with it?
...&lt;Silence&gt;...
FM: Uhhh.. they say they'd kick it around.
Devs: They'd what?
FM: Kick.. you know.. like in Soccer?
Devs: But... ummm... just kick it?
FM: Yup.
Devs: What for? They want DoubleXP for kicking it?
FM: Nope...
Devs: Temp Powers?!?! Enhancements??
FM: Nope.
Devs: Red you say?
FM: Uh huh...
Devs: But... they'll use it for Power Leveling?
FM: I don't see how...?
Devs: HEH leave it to them to find a way!
FM: But its just a big red ball...
Devs: You sure that's all they want?
FM: Yeah.
Devs: Well, we'll see, but we'll get in trouble for this!
FM: Why?
Devs: Cause you see, you gotta re-balance stuff!
FM: For a Big Red Ball???
Devs: Yuppers!
FM: Ugh!
