Signature powers... for players -- I had this idea

this sounds a lot like bridging CoX into becoming Freedom force.
which really wouldn't be bad at all, being able to craft powers, innate abilities and whatnot like one does their costume (from a library), is fantastic. It's what made FF so great. However, in this format it would be even better.
It made little difference that i invested so much time and energy into importing and making my own skins and getting keyframes in FF, I couldn't do much with them cause the internet options in game kinda sucked, and you had to truely craft all the good stuff yourself or get it from people that did (skins, meshes, and so forth). this way it would be easy.
However, it's a change on the core program and system that is just too hard to balance for and impliment. it's a systemic change.
If the game had a file system like FF, where the animations and parts could all be imported easily, then the devs could adapt this easily, but the game seems to have a rigid architecture (dunno, im no hex coder, im guessing), so even changing one animation changes so much.
they'd have to rewrite the game from scratch to do it... (again guessing).
that being said, I love the idea.

Gonna apply my idea from the post below to the freight train of this post incase there is something I can contribute.
"Samual_Tow - Be disappointed all you want, people. You just don't appreciate the miracles that are taking place here."
/signed!!! This is an awsome idea and I would LOOOOOVE for it to happen. It would really help me pick up my lvl 30 toons too! Best idea I've read about yet!
I don't know how difficult it might be to impliment, but I'm all for it from a flavor PoV. =) Even if not exactly as described, I'd like to see this feature eventually in some form or another.
"Always remember that you're unique -- just like everybody else."
At a minimum, the devs should take note that things slow down a bit too much after lvl 30. I like this idea of sig powers, but even if it is not implemented, something should be done to "spice" things up in later lvls.
This is a great idea, Ultimus!
i would love 2 have a sig move where i would talk on the phone to activate...lol
I love the idea quite frankly and would love to be able to customize my characters more...but not have all the low lvl squishes etc being over powered
Wow this will be great for my tanker (Paragon Boy) if this does happen i plan on making a Red, white , and blue signature Shield. Over all, this idea is GREAT well thought out and counters all those Ney sayers that what to burry your head in the dirt i hope this is put into game would be nice.
This is an awesome Idea. I really like it

I have 2 reasons for posting. The first is to say great idea Ultimus! Just the other day I was thinking that I would at least like to change the color on my energy blast. But you have taken this to a whole new exciting level.
The second reason I am posting here today is that I also have an idea that I am trying to get support for. It's fairly new, but the feedback so far has been positive. So far I am having a little trouble keeping the topic alive. So what I am asking is for any of you guys to look at my "New story arc idea" and see what you think. I'm not asking for any particular response, just that you guys would look at it and give me some feedback if you like it.
I don't wanna waste any more space self-promoting, good luck on your sig-powers!
wonderfull idea exept i think people should be able to specialize...I mean controllers if they spread it wont help em there damage would still be sucky so they should at least be able to specialize and hold ('cus thats really all i am good at now...though i havnt hit lvl 33 yet)
you can specialize.. that's the whole point, making whatever you want.
possibly just one major power, or a couple less-powerful ones.
you want to specialize with a hold? sure thing.. dump all your points into a hold power, add a DoT while you're at it.. and maybe a touch of fear? of course, you might want to dump a couple points into accuracy and/or end reduction.. but you get the idea.
oh.. and..

I agree to all of these comments which is like 20000 lol but this is definatly a good idea although it would take a very long time i think but if it does ever come into the game it would be great except for one thing...would already lvl 50s just get to create it altogether or would they not have it? anyway great idea you probably got A+++ in school wen u went pretty much saying....
WHERE THE FU** IS MY PEN!

Isn't it so painfully obvious?
Of COURSE 50s would get it.
I like this idea as well... But the only thing is, the changing of the name. I believe it should only be changed, only every 7 or 8 levels. Otherwise, excellent idea.
/Signed, again.
This is still one of the coolest ideas around.

It would need to bake for a long while to make sure there's no stupidly abusive combinations,

Are you kidding?
No matter how long an idea is worked on by a dev, a player will find some stupidity for it within a week.
Hmmmm
kind of reminds me of Dragon Ball Z
reminds me of a lot of shows (for children)
I like it.
although when you chose the animation could you choose from arrows to swords and axes or just shoot it through your hands like energy or just smash 'em up like in superstrength?
still the best idea around though

Hey has this seen any red name attention.... im missing it?? I think its thumbtacked on the top but i dont see any red names...
[/ QUOTE ]i just wanted to quote this again its been quoted like 20 times now =D
Yeah it was stickied but no developers have made a response. It was acknowledged in game by Ghost Widow (Played by a developer) though. The developers know about it and I am sure they want to implement.
If we never see it in COH, I can guarantee that this idea will be in Marvel Universe Online.
[/ QUOTE ]
No, it was not. But Ex Libris Stickied it.
Also, [censored] Marvel. [censored] it in the ear.

QFT.
Using CoX players ideas for another project is WRONG.
[/ QUOTE ]
While I agree with you I think the reality is that Marvel Universe (Being developed by Cryptic) will be built on COH's mistakes. Not really "mistakes" but the way things were built. This engine was built with only X in mind. I am sure the developers will build MUO with X and Y where Y being things that they couldn't implement in COH due to engine limitations. (IE, Wall Climbing, coding for the powers there is some limitations, IE DMG RES and +DMG enhancers)

::sniffs:: Yeah I guess you are right. Hopefully i can resist the urge and stick to CoX.

This is a neat idea -- you basically stated all the details.
oops

/Signed x infinity.
Even if it was just bland power poolish type powers.
Masterminds annoy everybody, sooner or later. Heck, Masterminds annoy themselves.

It would be cool to have a teleport power that could teleport you anywhere withour range or zone restrictions.
