Helium blimps are very fuel-efficient.
And if you had all that air pollution from Crey's Folly, you would coat your blimbs in Teflon.

This is what Thigh Boots were invented for. One of my heroines spent a lot of time in the sewers recently and she's now saving up to change her costume to thigh boots... aka waders. 
Waders... now that's an interesting costume option addition...

3.- Heroside Respec Trials, I think the reactor should be revamped somehow, you spend a 10% of the overall completion time actually doing something and the remaining 90% just waiting at the reactor for waves to spawn. Don't know if they could make them spawn after 15 seconds since last foe is killed (15 secs should be enough to bubble up and go back for more) or something, if it takes longer then go check the corridor looking for a teleporter or look underneath the generator in case a foe has been knocked back there (they could fix that too now that I think). It would also be nice to tag the glowies saying "NOTHING WILL HAPPEN IF YOU CLICK THIS GLOWIE, NO LESS COOLANT BELTS, NO MORE WAVES AND NO LUSCA SPAWNING IN REACTOR"

Villainside respec is horrible. Give the Thorn Tree an "Only Affecting Self" debuff for as long as there's even a single Vine remaining, PLEASE. It's frustrating to see the squishies get twoshotted by a random thorn snipe from miles away while we're still clearing up the darn Vines, which seems to promptly cause some 20 Vines to respawn.
*hands mumsy her leash*
You're too awesome Mumsy, thanks for the laughs 
And i agree with you!
lol yeah, and to add to Mother's own rant I want to be able to ride every vehicle that goes past, at the moment they're like blocks of ice on a bizarre horizontal luge...lemme ride em....!
Or they go in the room.....!!!!!!!11!!
I want to put all the citizens into the room too: in mayhem missions they're impervious to harm, so what do they need heroes for, villains are powerless to damage them? Yet Heroside they're always in trouble....you cant be hurt: just walk away....!!
11!!!!11!

Oh and while I'm at it!, Those so-called 'press-on-towels' in the Ladies changing room in City Hall are an absolute rip-off!.
It takes at least a dozen of them just to dry my arms!.

You can hardly begin to imagine how much I disagree with you :P
Hero respecs are boring, the mob timer is ridiculous.
My regular treespec team can sweep the whole thing in 30 minutes. Thats about as long as people spend in the REACTOR (forcibly)
edit: oh, and nobody is one shotted, because they know to stay out of LoS
I'd have to say the hero version is worse personally, lot's of hurry up and wait involved.
Also...I want to know who designed the CoT ubercave map. I have a custard pie mounted on a catapault with they're name on it!

The lack of moving hair is somthing I think could be changed for the better
I'm not really sure if there's anyhting I actually dislike in the game - more things I think are ok, but could be made better.

You need to get in touch with your pent-up rage over the complete lack of the animated hair feature.

well heres mine:
1) people who love ignoring.
i hate it when people ignore tells. i mean its not hard to reply to tells. jeez theres aload of ignorant ppl in game howadays (ok not really about the game but it counts )
[/ QUOTE ]
Can I just make a point about that? I understand how you feel, but... well, I am in all probability one of those people, and there is a reason for it. I am hearing impaired. I hear most of the obvious sounds like explosions and stuff in the game, but the subtle little 'beep' of a Tell is something that often disappears behind other sound effects going off in my game at the time. This means I'm generally only aware that I've been sent a Tell if I happen to be looking at the Chat window when it appears, and when I'm caught up in big fights or there's a lot of Broadcast chat going on they probably scroll off the screen before I get a chance to see them. So, whilst I appreciate it's annoying when you don't get replies to your Tells, it may not be just because the person is being rude or deliberately ignoring you.

What Mom does in her spare time is entirely her own affair... someone lent me those tapes and I was watching them in through my camera because.... because.... because...err... my VCR was broken?
That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
"Damn it, that last enemy is running away. Now we have to wait for it to run past all those other mobs until it decides to run back at us, past its friends (who just stand there looking stupid) and attacks us, even though it only has a sliver of health left."

I agree with many already mentioned.
1) Heroes Respec - So needs a respec itself it hurts. The bore-actor as I call it is no challenge, even for a poorly put together team. A timer needs to be added between waves, starting with longer gaps reducing to smaller ones. And waves should start with 20 villains, then go up by 5 with every new wave. 20 -> 25 -> 30 -> 35 and so on...
2) Positron and SSTF1 both need to be revamped. Positron just has a ridiculous amount of villains to defeat (expecially in larger teams) and first shard mission, should give a new badge... 5 Hours and still not completed - badge called "Gullable Fool"
3) MM Pets and the door of death. Why?
4) Wipeout levels 1-10. Just let everyone start at 10 as both CoH and CoV are both very boring at the start. The start is just a pure grind....!
5) Outbreak. Surely no-one (except very new ppl) use this facility anymore, except for getting the Isolator badge. Either change the no. of foes to 20 or 50 to speed this up, or get rid of it completely.
6) Zones. I like the fact CoH is quite big, and that you move all over the city doing missions, where is CoV has set parameters. 0-8 Mercy, 6-14 Port O, 12-20 Cap etc... It's almost like you're forced to play in certain zones at certain levels, unless you powerlevel of course. I know that you do get sent back to different zones, but not enough IMO. Plus CoV may have better content, but we suffer with longer load times as a result (in general).

I don't have any pent-up rage about anything - certainly not a computer game
The game doesn't take itself too seriously, and neither should the players - it's just entertainment
And it's better to look for positives rather than negatives anyway - in RL and in-game

I nominate GG for Room 101, for being far to laid back and not angry enough about stuff. For heavens sakes its an Internet Forum, you're supposed to get overbothered and frothing at the mouth over the slightest thing.
I'd also like to throw NCSoft Europe into Room 101 for the 'orrible lag on Onion over the weekend. I get better connectivity to Virtue for heavens sakes, and they're over on the West coast of the US!

* A VERY personal one here and no doubt controversial, and not one i'd want anything done about...I just find it kinda sad these days that we see so few fire/kins being played for fun ... but it seems all I see of them these days are farming/PLing in PI (can't remember the last time I saw a non lvl-50), all with nearly the EXACT SAME cookie cutter build. It just seems they've been relegated to farming tools rather than good fun toons. And some of the names...you can tell by the lack of imagination that they were only lvled for one purpose. My hats off to any litle fire/kin's out there in team/solo pvp enjoying your experience, it's a wonderful thing (oh and look me up, i want to see you to beleive it )
[/ QUOTE ]
I've had my fire/kin, Gingersnap (Union), for donkey's years - she's still only level 33 and has reached those giddy heights almost entirely by soloing from about level 20. She doesn't farm, she's a city girl. Her build is probably wrong for that anyway. She wouldn't know how to herd if her life depended on it, and she is constantly hurling her imps to their doom and then swiftly faceplanting herself. I've been so caught up in my more recent, shiny alts that I'd forgotten about her and how much fun she could be.
Room 101ers though...
They've been said, I think - especially the constant running from one place to the next just to say "Hi" - I mean, if Cadao Kestrel wants to ask Azuria if she thinks Jurasik is uglier than Baphomet - why doesn't he just call her instead of sending my hero on a slow and tedious flight? I had Azuria's number from level 5 in Atlas - how come I can't use it to call her and tell her Cadao wants to take her out for coffee? Why must I do all that traveling? Who thought that the traveling was going to be fun?
It's not as bad as in The Other Game, but still.
Maybe an integrated transport policy for Paragon City, including buses, is the answer...

Seconded, Lag Canyon was particulary bad on the ITF yesterday. Practically unplayable.
Whether or not Its the EU.infrastructure between us and the servers and not their servers is Irrelevant. It can't go on like this.
<--- slightly more serious angry face this time.
seconded, thirded and other multiples re: the lag. How am i supposed to enjoy the many many things ingame that annoy the hell out of me if i cant play!
