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

I don't remember having contributed my opinions on this thread, but I personally think that something like this would be a smashing good idea, absolutely stellar! Everything from being able to customise the behaviour and appearance of the power to being able to share it with other players.

I wonder, though, if the power shouldn't have some sort of minor deleterious and temporary effect on the user built-in to the power's design (like costing some HP for particularly nasty attack damage, resuscitating a fallen comrade, or effecting a mass team heal/regen boost).

I certainly hope that the devs are following this thread.

Wow! This thread is now just over 4 years old and it's STILL a popular idea. (The only other thing i can think of as that old and popular is the BRB (Big Red Ball), but not sure if that's still being thrown around anymore)

So, after learning more about Incarnates, it looks like i could have been wrong about SigPows being a part of that system. I can see where it could fit into the scheme of how those slots work.

Still hoping and praying that we get this someday. Hopefully no other super-MMOs decide to do this either first, or at all. I can see it being a decision maker for some people, now that the market has 3 (right?) main super-MMOs and people actually have to think about which game they want to play.

Anywho, just wanted to stop back in this thread as it's been awhile. Oh, and Ultimus, you got the first post of 2010 in this thread... looks like I take the first one of 2011, hehe.

I love the idea of SigPows - NPC's have had them since forever and I think we should be able to have access to them too. Great Idea.

This threads been stickied for ages now.
Is anything ever going to come of it? Omega Slot, maybe? Something? Please?

Alright, I have two ideas for Signatures for a char I have, an Energy/Energy Blaster called StrangeQuark:

Wave-Motion Blast: A Massive PBAoE attack that bathes the surrounding area in energy, and "energy bubbles", dealing damage to all nearby, knocking them back, and disorienting them. Quark is exhausted by it, however, and he is drained of all endurance and disoriented for a short period of time.

===OR===

SuperString: StrangeQuark fires an arcing bolt of exotic particle of varying colors, dealing Extreme damage to a single target, and lesser damage to those around the target, as well as knocking all effected back. There is also an Energy DoT for those effected by it. Quark is drained by it, however, and he is exhausted of all endurance and disoriented for a short period of time.


Do you suppose different builds could have separate Sig powers?

I love this Idea I hope they implement it, because I WOULD LOVE TO SEE!!! Martial arts with some new flashy moves.

Yes! Yes! Do it! Do it!....... +1

Love this thought.

+ however many votes I have available to throw at it. Which probably totals 1, but just in case ....

I like this idea. Only I don't think there should be periodic customisation options. I think you should get it from the start and only the strength of the ability changes from there. And I think, seeing as the power customisation is there, you should be able to choose from any animation in the game, with perhaps some new ones, and colour it and give it any of the existing particle effects as you choose. And of course, you should be given the option for it to be used with a weapon, but it would have to be a weapon you already have.

I also think that there should be multiple ways to acquire points. Otherwise you've just got 17 points to spend, 21 if you extend it into Incarnate. Finally, I think that, if you do change your power (other than its appearance, which I think should just be tailoring, as long as it doesn't change the animation length) then there should be a massive sacrifice. Like you would lose all your acquired points so far and have to acquire them elsewhere. Like completing TFs/SFs.

Bad Voodoo by @Beyond Reach. Arc ID #373659. Level 20-24. Mr. Bocor has fallen victim to a group of hooded vigilantes who have been plaguing Port Oakes, interfering with illegal operations and pacifying villain's powers. He demands that revenge is taken on these miscreants and his powers are returned! You look like just the villain for the job. Challenging.

Still hope this gets implemented!

Happy Thanksgiving, and like others have previously said, I hope this is Omega...I bet they are keeping quiet for a reason.

I had a big ball of idea-ness in the brain, and came up with a possible implementation if this is used as the Omega Slot: Basically you can build up Incarnate points from completing iTrials, iTask Forces, converting from threads and merits, etc. The points are used to purchase ability components that you can combine into powers. I made some charts for some of the ability components, but they are a bit large, so i'll just link to them.

Range table
Damage Table (The effectiveness increases only apply to the power itself.)
Buffs (Can be set to separate self effect, or PBAoE, if unlocked, or can be part of the main target effect)
Debuffs (These can't. They're just part of the effect.)
Healing/Endurance effects, Extra improvements, and Mez effects

These are just what I came up with, feel free to poopoo it if you wish.

I think, if anything, this should be an incarnate power. Maybe genesis? They are the only real people with power to share, ya know.

Or if not via that, I think there should be a story arc or task force that explains it and gives it reason. For example: Get beaten up by mooks because the big bads are empowering them, link it into villian starter mission series, hearts of darkness, eventually depower minions and get sponsored powers to do big damage, have a nice big curbstomp battle agaisnt them.

I have an idea about completely new classes for epics.Concidering the Epic classes we have atm are ok but they don't really speak "Epic".My ideas is 2 new Villain Epics and 2 new Hero Epics.

1st Hero Epic is a Class Called (Leecher) which has the abilities to obtain certain powers of the enemies this class faces at random.Has auto ability to teleport and recall friend.

2nd Hero Epic is called (Android) which has the ability to do hard hitting damage and focuses on analyzing the enemies weaknesses.And casting out robots to help nearby allies.Auto ability Hover and Fly.

1st Villain Epic is (Vampire) which has the ability to have alot of regeneration and does mostly melee.As well as focusing on draining the energy from enemies to replenish their health aswell and some holds.Auto Ability Super Speed and Hover.

2nd Villain Epic (Werewolf) Which has the ability to call some werewolf pets to help you in combat.And does mostly melee damage with dot damage attached to the attacks for the infected factor.This class also has good regeneration and high resistances.Auto ability Combat Jumping and Super Speed.
