Badge List - Shows all the badges grey'd out, and the collected ones in colour.
X,Y,Z Location Finder - /search type box that you enter co-ordinates and they will be display'd like a mission locator does.
Search Screen - Adjust so that the window can be expanded.
[/ QUOTE ]
All good stuff.
[ QUOTE ]
Search CoX - Search screen option to search Coh / Cov, so i can see how many vills are in SC not just Heros ;P
[/ QUOTE ]
Not for PvP zones, thanks. Let's keep a little mystery. But in co-op zones? Hell yes.
[ QUOTE ]
Uni Workbenches - Workbenches in all zones that have Auction houses please.
Inspiration Vendor - Trainers should also sell Inspirations same as Pocket D Bar staff and Arena Staff.
Sell All Button - Sell all at Store, Sell all salvage / Recipes option when at a vendor.
[/ QUOTE ]
I like these ideas.
[ QUOTE ]
Recall Friend - Cross Zonal please
[/ QUOTE ]
HELL NO! It's annoying enough when I've forgotten to switch on Prompt Team Teleport and I get pulled away from the AH if I'm in the right zone, but cross-zone? No thanks.
[ QUOTE ]
Replying - Multiple backspaces flicks through recent contacts
Character Transfer - Transfer Characters from 1 account to another.
[/ QUOTE ]
Sounds fair, as long as it's the same Master Account.
[ QUOTE ]
Player Notes - Player notes list all toons on same account.
[/ QUOTE ]
Umm... they do, as long as you've met that toon already. I see no reason for this to be expanded - some people like a little bit of anonymity.
[ QUOTE ]
B.cast Chat - Broadcast also can be heard when in mission from that zone.
[/ QUOTE ]
No, thanks. On the rare occassions I get a mission in Atlas Park I like to not have the inanities scrolling down my screen.
[ QUOTE ]
Team search - Players in teams of 8 or in Task forces show up in /search as red.
[/ QUOTE ]
/signed. ANYTHING to stop "can i join ur team" when you're on a TF.

; Bull Throttle: Shadowe was unwise in this instance...; Rock_Powerfist: in this instance Shadowe is wise.; Techbot_Alpha: Shadowe is very wise *nods*; Zortel: *Quotable line about Shadowe being wise goes here.*

Like an Invite to team question popping up would be better... "Team mamber "x" would like to TP you to "map" do you accept?
I'm chuffed you liked everthing else
Carlsberg don't do Farming,
But if they did..........

Global hide prevents /whoall anyway - I don't trust it in PvP zones.

As long as there's a prompt for it (that can't be turned off), then actually, yes, I like this idea.

You keep coming up with good ideas, and I'll keep agreeing with them.

Only in co-op zones... the ability to give inspirations to an enemy... Next to the already suggested expanded search list showing enemies.
If we are co-op... make it a real co-op...
- The Italian Job: The Godfather Returns #1151
Beginner - Encounter a renewed age for the Mook and the Family when Emile Marcone escapes from the Zig!
- Along Came a... Bug!? #528482
Average - A new race of aliens arrives on Earth. And Vanguard has you investigate them!
- The Court of the Blood Countess: The Rise of the Blood Countess #3805
Advanced - Go back in time and witness the birth of a vampire. Follow her to key moments in her life in order to stop her! A story of intrigue, drama and horror! Blood & Violence... not recommend to solo!
Free cake as vet reward?
:P

Some sort of visual indicator for whether a power is too far away from your targeted foe to use, or within range.

I was thinking something similar.
A visual indication that the next power you've selected after the one activating is in range.
For example I fire off exploding arrow and key up fist full of arrows to fire next, it would be nice to know that it's in range before exploding arrow goes off so I'll know to switch powers or be ready to move closer instead of standing arround like a fool.
Or even just a range figure in the target box (as in the main screen one not the target window at the top left)

No thanks.. the game is too easy as it is. If this were implemented, I'd prefer it to be an option. Just by playing my ranged characters, I get to know when foes are in range and when they're not for a specific power, just like a skilled archer knows how far back to pull his bow for his arrow to hit the target.

So make it optional, I guess. While I do agree the game is way too easy, this particular case seems to be more of a comfort issue than a difficulty issue.
I gathered here all the suggestions that seems more like QoL addons that can be quickly implemented than bug-fixing or altering existing gameplay ones.
Even if the 1/3 of them get implemented, I will be very happy.
Ability to combine ANY 3 inspsirations of one kind, i.e. Large blue, small blue, medium blue would be valid.
Make the resulting insp be as big as the smallest one in the combo.
At the moment the system punishes you for levelling up, as you can get insps of all sizes, whereas at low level at least you knew they would all be the same size.
Also, make wakies available at the arena instead of forcing me to make them from 3 others. Pretty please.

Continuing my effort of gathering/cetegorizing the best (actual QoL) suggestions, I've created >this< so you can vote (and/or discuss) the suggestions. You can add more too!
All you have to do is to become member into the "City of Heroes & Villains" grup there (grup has open invitation).
How about making the Map marker a darker or lighter shade to reflect the Z axis? i.e. a dim marker would mean that the location is underground, and a pale one would mean that it is high up.

When in a team and going to shop / trainer, it'd be REALLY nice if the game didn't reset the destination to the next mission (even if it's selected before you click the shop / trainer as your destination)

An online/offline notification for SG members & global friends that can be turned on and off from options
Fix the bug where my maps become blacked out at odd times, today My 'Kings row' dissapeared perhaps because I just did a bank job in the area ( doubt this is the reason as it has happened to me at other odd times too)
have some way a rage bar for tanks and a defend mode when the bar is filled, equal to the brute and dominator.
Bugs should be /bug using the petition system.
This is a suggestions of new QoL features thread.

this'd be good for some areas, instead of running about lost for 5mins until one of the team finds it and you all hope they have Recall Friend.
@craggy see me on Union for TFs, SFs (please!) or just some good ol fashioned teaming.
I know I'm not the first to suggest this, but I'd really like the ability to name our (other than mastermind) pets. My Fly trap is part of the family, he has a name, and I'd like others to see that as well.
Also, more animal shoulder pieces, and to male charachters aswell. I'm sure a lot of pirates out there who would like a parrot, and I myself would like to have mouse on one charachter.
My main toons on Union:
Majer; Dark/Dark Corruptor
Caitlin Calathea; Plant/Thorns Dominator
Davallia Fejeensis; Empathy/Archery Defender
My arc:
ID 98789, What once was, will be again.
Percentages on badge progress or even better combined with real number of how much done, how much to go.
If I mis-type my password on log in, on any key press the warning box dissappears and my cursor goes back to a now blanked out password field.
being able to search for players on the other side is something that really should be added, since there's all these co-op zones now. even if we can only search for them when we are in the co-op zones, it'd still be good.
also second the idea of having mission markers at the entrance to tunnels and the like, as in some zones it is near impossible to find the entrance if it's tucked away underground. i want my teams to get angry cause i play bad, not cause i can't find a mish.
