Next Booster Pack Idea


Blue Rabbit

 

Posted

After reading about the new Cyborg packs only the first of many booster packs, Ive came up with an Idea for the second, its not much, but its the best I could come up with

SUPER BOOSTER PACK 2: UNDEAD

These are the following Emotes I'd like to see:

Zombie Stance
Crumble to Dust
Vomit

These are some of the auras I'd like to see:

Ghostly Stealth (not a stealth power, but to look like Ghost pirates)
Zombie Breath
Bones below feet
Maggots

These are the Costume Pieces I had in mind:

Hair Styles: Rotting Brain, Missing Chunk
Chest Styles: Zombie (thin version), Zombie W/ Exposed Ribs, Grave Knight
Hand Styles: Zombie Bones both sides, Skeletal
Leg Styles: Zombie (thinner version), Zombie W/ Exposed leg bone, Grave Knight
Feet Styles: Zombie Bones left, righ or both

Booster special Power: Posess: when all else fails, you berid yourself of your original body and posess an enemies (note: this will cause you to play as the enemy for one minute, Bosses and over cannot be possesed)


A total of 14 of my nerves have been harmed in the making of this post...

I doubt this will become a popular set. At least I defenitely won't order it. Even if the power is cute.

I like this, not sure if I'd use the cossie bits...well not until I can make a Necro/Pain MM. Given the Hallowe'en we'll be having I've had an alternate idea to the Booster Power.

ZOMBOGEDDON: With a throatless cry you awaken the undead from their slumber...and boy are they [censored]. (Zombies crawl out of the ground and get all kinds of vomit everywhere; gang war-style for a minute or so)

I'd pay full price for /em vomit, tbh

Hmm, not a bad idea. Certainly one worth thinking about. The posses idea aint that bad, actually. Sounds like fun, if nothing else XD

Throw in the Lich robes and you've got a deal.

Amen. Amen to CoT style robes too, what we have now aint robes, its martial arts kit, whatever way you try and turn it =/

Robes are a bit problematic for animation though, what if you chose CoT or Lich robes on an MA/ Scrapper? Imagine the clipping when you use a kicking power...

But yeah, good pack idea. I'd buy it, definately.

Having done a techish booster, I would lay good odds on the next one being something magicish, either undead or wizards. Don't forget there is more to undead than zombies though.


I really should do something about this signature.

The power should be 'Bite', melee self heal + enemy confuse (high mag/duration).

Great idea


I am the Blaster, I have filled the role of Tank, Controller and Defender
Sometimes all at once.
Union EU player! Pip pip, tally ho, top hats and tea etc etc

Or witches

A possible undead pack might be more likely to be a vampire, as they're more flexible than zombies when it comes to applying them to avatar concepts.
They could maybe do a werewolf one - and the power would be the transformation that the warwolves do

TBH There is already more than enough 'dead' or 'undead' seeming costume parts as a good proportion were added with CoV.

Magic parts etc would get my vote... Robes that look a bit like CoT robes would be nice.

I'd like to see a cowboy booster complete with greatcoat costume piece, sargent stripes etc with a tobacco spitting emote and a lasso emote, and a winchester rifle shooting power or a dual colt pistol bullet spray.

The thing I'd love the most would be Rikti costume parts


 

Posted

Yeah...being able to play as Rikti would be ace. I know thay they're meant to be the uber bad guys (Or is that Nemesis?) but what about the traditionalists? And Villains get to work for one anyway...
Hmm, Wild West is quite a neat idea, actually. Although we do have most of the parts already. -shrug-

CO is going to have a 'wild west' zone, some sort of spooky dude ranch. Going to seem like copying if they did that. (Not that that would stop an MMO company.)

I could see 'heroic' Rikti turning up over time, currently they aren't nearly trusted enough.

Can you really copy something that's copying you?

It isn't. It's taking an established RPG genre and creating another game based on it. Champions has been around for decades, I think it predates more or less every other superpower RPG.

Of course, since it's the same company doing it (effectively) cries of 'copy' are bound to happen, but that's kind of similar to saying that all fantasy books copy Tolkien.

As it stands, CO has a planned and punlicized western setting, CoX doesn't. And considering that the location would need to be a long way away from Rhode Island, it doesn't seem like a good plan anyway.

A wild west event in Pocket D I could just about see...

Well, if they ever expand the concept of Heroes and Villains to include a neutral alignment, then there might even be a Rikti AT.
I know you could have one working for Arachnos possibly, but it's highly unlikely you could have one on the Hero side, as the public would be bound to react badly to the sight of any Rikti, especially in Paragon City.

There's one in the Vanguard HQ in Atlas Park, but I don't think you could have a very 'public' one. As I said earlier, they wouldn't be trusted. Perhaps in the future...

I think Azuria's reply sums up the public views on Rikti,

A Rikti... on our side... trying to cure the Lost. That's impos... that's interesting. I would keep this knowledge to yourself. Many here would not believe you and if they did, there's no telling what they'd want to do to that... thing.

That's what I was thinking of, yep.
