If you could design the next expansion?...

Edited for you Tech, and i also appologise, i did not see your post while i was typing mine, and had no idea that you found what i was quoting to be offensive.

But its gone now, lets move on and think up some new ideas for the "Player Created Expansion"

I can see how some people could be offended but I personally found it amusing (and before I get jumped, no, I have not been divorced but yes there has been divorce in my family)and actually quite harmless. (no worse than the "for example take my wife, please, take my wife" jokes). but +1 kudos Grouchy for respecting someone else's sensitivities and removing.

as far as the marriage idea goes... would this allow for same sex marriage? if so, how will you reconcile this with players that vehemently oppose such unions for religious or personal reasons? What about inter-species marriage? (warshade + human, cyborg + demon etc)...What about players that agree with polygamy? or toons whose background states that they come from a polygamous society,can they have 50 wives/husbands? (a trojan warrior for example seeing as Priam had multiple wives, an african tribal warrior where polygamy is still practised in many modern day tribal societies, an Amazonian warrior woman with multiple husbands?)

If marriage (or civil union) is introduced, should divorce also not be introduced ? ok, not necessarily in the humorous (or not) way proposed by grouchy but surely there should be some ramification for ending a union, otherwise toons would just stay joined as long as the benefits continue with no downside.. everyone would get married because to not do so would just be silly (XP?? for Freeeee??)

I really like some of the stuff that has been mentioned so far. What I would like to include:
* Tidying up of hero contacts - in that you dont have to fight through a load of missions before you get to the arc and they don't keep on sending you from one zone to another. Also you get their cell phone number earlier!
* Zone related arcs for Dark Astoria and Boomtown (as already mentioned)
* New Zones with special 'effects' on players. E.g. Moonbase where everyone gets a Jump buff because of low gravity. A jungle zone with a running speed debuff because of the thick undergrowth.
* Interactive Powers - as Evangel described, having powers that effect each other to make new effects (a bit like Oil Slick being set alight).
* New higher level story arcs using the Portal Corps/DESTINY portal. Good way to introduce new zones and some new factions.
* Two new Archtypes available to both Heroes and Villains. These would be:
- Vanguard
- Rikti
* More interesting boss fights like Romulus and Big Tony the Magic Man.
* Public Missions - expanding upon the already occuring in zone events. Randomly generated missions that occur which everyone can get involved in.

Most of that looks pretty neat, IMO =]
The one thing I would cut/change is the Vanguard AT. You can already make them, and, given Vangaurds diversity, it would be unfair to restrict that ( Sword/Shield scrapper, full vanguard armour ) Although some unlockable powers would be nice, like [Bayonet] for Assault rifle, [Flashbang] and suchnot.

---

Expanding on the Vanguard and Rikti ATs:
*Vanguard: You get to choose from how build your toon by choosing the following powersets:
Primaries
> Ranged assault - choosing from mixture of assault rifle/energy weapon powers and some minor control powers (high damaging, medium control lengths)
> Melee assault - choosing a mixture of claw attack powers, short ranged pistol attacks and some minor control powers (higher damaging than ranged, minor control lengths)
> Wizard Assault - choosing a mixture of magical powers that damage, debuff and control (medium damage and high control/debuff lengths)

Secondary sets:
> Impervium Armour Assault - concentrates on defence/resistance with some leadership powers (e.g. Shield and Gauntlet)
> Impervium Armour Stealth - concentrates on stealth with some minor defence/resistance and some debuff powers (e.g. Helm and Sword)

The vanguard wouldn't get access to APP or EPP but instead have a greater range of powers to choose from as per Peacebringer/Warshade

*Rikti: This works based on the various story arcs introducing 'good' rikti and that Lord Recluse negotiates with Rikti. They would choose from the following power sets:
Primaries:
> Soldier - A high damage set with a mixture of melee attacks and ranged attacked based on the Chief Soldiers Rifle sword thing.
> Mesmerist - A medium damage set that has a mixture Psi attack powers and Mind control powers

Secondaries:
> Rikti Battle Armour - a set based on defence/resistance and leadership powers
> Guardian - a set designed on the guardian buff powers with some minor defence/resistance powers

The rikti ATs would also get there own Ancilary power pools:
> Combat Armour - boosts defence/resistance, contains a summon drone power. Cannot be taken if you have the Battle Armour powerset
> Rikti Magus - you get access to some magical attacks of variuos elements
> Rikti Priest - you get access to some buff and control powers. Contains a summon drone power. Cannot be chosen if you have the guardian power set.
> Rikti Com Officer - you can summon a handful of different Rikti for brief periods. Including Infantry, Headman, Guardian and Drone.

True - didn't really think of that. Maybe they could introduce it as some new universal Epic Power Pools you can take instead of the regular APP/EPP. So you can make yourself more Vanguard like if you really wanted.
Kind of thinking:
* Vanguard Wizard
* Vanguard Armour
* Vanguard Claws
* Vanguard Assault

Again, any sort of wizardy can be put down to origin and w/e powers people pick. As something else to use VG Merits for, being able to get a Vanguard shield/armour toggle would be nice, as would the aformentioned bayonet, nades, etc. And allowing the 'wand' option for blaster-types would be neat.

Rikti AT would get my /signed
And back details! Especially the Vanguard backplates!

I would just put the guys into work designing lots of SF for villains new ones on 10-15, 30-35 & 40-45 (maybe this one cooperative). We will improve the mail system to allow recipe transfer between characters and /SGinvite to work offline. We'll make the Ouroboros SF turn into real SF's too with a minimum 4 players to start but with much more merits to be rewarded

Utility Pistols - dual pistols, but think of a cross between a Lawgiver and the Bat-Pistol, with standard ammo, incendiaries, ice, grapnels, tasers, and explosive Gyroslugger rounds for the 32. Same relationship with the AR as the Katana is to the Broadsword - AR does higher damage, UPs are faster.

Wayland Point: an upper-crust area of Paragon, only just added to the Green Line. However, heroes are banned and the streets are mercilessly patrolled by highly-paid Crey agents and Paragon Protectors. So all hero work must be done undercover or risk attack and arrest. Luckily, the mysterious local clinician Dr. Amy Weaver is always on hand to help...

This is also the home of stately Sinclair Manor. Extrovert playboy Justin Sinclair seems rarely at home, but his PA Miss Gish and loyal butler Alex always need good help around the place... particularly with some VERY dirty jobs. (i.e.: join Wyvern[/i])

And while this luxurious seaside, surfing community holds many secrets behind its doors, its greatest - and most terrifying - secret lies just a little way beneath the sparkling waves out to sea...

Kirby Memorial Airport (and Kane Field in the Rogue Isles): Now that the War Walls are strong enough to keep the Rikti away, flights are now leaving for exciting destinations around the world - and heroes should begin boarding for global adventures. Stop the Carnies from toppling Big Ben! Steal the Eiffel Tower with Dr.Aeon's Reducto-Ray! Travel the world, meet new and exciting peoples, and then blast them into next week!

Vehicles... because heroes need a great ride. Period. Customisable travelpowers (yes, even SuperJump - to the BatPogo!, customisable look and feel, and full team vehicles with gunnery positions.)

Some cool ideas there - I really liked the Utility Pistols. To be me they sounded like a good match for Defenders/Corruptors with Dual Pistols - bit like Trick Arrow to Archery.

And I like the idea of being able to fly off to new places

I'd re-visit the Devouring Earth underground ideas I had a few years back. In the RWZ there is the large DE door that could serve as an entryway to an underground area that also connects to the Hive and Abyss, as well as potentially other zones in a similar way to the midnight club and pocket d. Obviously a new TF, more power proliferation, perhaps some more DE inspired sets etc...

I would re-design the "Look" of the DE as well as Hamidon Himself to make them more mutated natural elements more in keeping with the bladegrass, fungoid and devoured are.

Like Going Rogue, rather than creating new characters just to experience the new content like CoV, the content would add to existing characters.

I would love to get vehicles in game i seem to recall it being described as difficult to implement but same was said for power customization.

As for what i would add:

.a MASSIVE base overhaul (removal of pathing was nice but bases still feel like its a beta test)

.Character moods which affect the way they walk run sit etc (we'd actually have to have the walk power for that to work)

.give us a walk power i know there's issues with leg length etc but surely if they figured out power customization walk wouldn't be a huge undertaking (You can have hot pink imps but ya still gotta run everywhere)

.Add badges for 300, 400, 500 and 600 badge milestone (i mean the 200 badge milestone can be gotten without breaking a sweat now)

.and the rest- quite a few new TFs new ATs (personally a hybrid melee/ranged/defense toon would be a dream come true)
New cossie pieces, updated textures on some of the older pieces to bring em in line with the newer stuff

think thats about it off the top of my head

He does not care about his bodily self, putting his life and death aside to come forward for another's troubled besiegement. He does not boast about his ability, or shamelessly extol his own virtues. - Sima Qian.

As long as its a flag system I think it would work yes you'll get the morons that will run up to people RPing and annoy them but you get that the now.

Hell maybe they could code it so people who don't have there pvp flag on cant even be seen by people that have the PvP flag set.

But before they do anything even remotely like open world PvP they need to sort out PvP no way should powers differ from PvE to PvP its just silly.

Agreed.. its stupid that a defender can win from a tanker. Some matches are just impossible. And the game shouldnt rectify that. It makes a very unrealistic image to see a daredevil win from a Hulk.

If that would be europe servers, with already low populated and talking about 'merge' is very very very bad, adding a addtional server plain for pure pvp is even a worse choice.

Aside, even if you have atlas park of even PI as pvp world, 99% of the time you are safe away in your own little zone or mission.
