A good Death

I have an Idea for deaths in the game to were when you die It would play some thing like you exploding or energy leaving your body like some of the foes you fight.

Just an animation, and no mechanical effect? Okay. I could see that.

Or similar to the cyborg pack's self-destruct power, or perhaps similar to Rise of The Pheonix, how about a passive power that causes an explosion (slottable for Acc and Damage, but not Recharge or Endred) when your HP=0?

If they could, a list of animations that already exist of current other npc death poses would be fun to have toggled, but I'd love to see specific ones that we can tailor to our characters.

A robot character would choose a 'fall to pieces' animation, while a witch... might ... melt.

I'd be up for death customization... although turning it into a power that does damage or something worries me a bit as potentially being able to be gamed... although a goofy power (like causing all the enemies around you to switch to dancing as their idle animation and nothing else) would be hilarious... Okay, now I want powers that adjust enemies idle animations

We've been saving Paragon City for eight and a half years. It's time to do it one more time.

My vote: Death animation by Origin.

You may all now throw spears at me and impale me on the nearest stake.

Well, a power that actually does something like AoE damage or stun would have to be added to some powerset or pool. So the drawback would be that you would have to trade another power out in order to get it. And die (with the lolDebt, of course) in order for it to be triggered. And I assume that there would likely be a timer on it if need be.

Unlike Rise of the Pheonix, you would have less control over when it's triggered. You would end up with occasional instances similar to what I did recently: My Corruptor and her foe killed each other with DoT's. I got Mission Complete the hard way. *smirk*

As for adjusting the idle animations of my foes, I like that idea. I can see them dancing, /em teabag, or whatever as they camp my corpse, preventing me from popping an awaken. (Yes, I usually skip self-Rezzes on melee characters).

When the game originally went live, Radiation Emission:Fallout was like that. You activated it after you died and it made your corpse explode, dealing damage to all foes in the vicinity. While that was thematically awesome, giving my containment-suited RRD the classic "LOOK OUT HE'S GONNA BLOW" moment, it proved to be largely useless in actual play, which is why Fallout is now a power RRDs can use to make dead teammates' corpses explode instead.

Some time ago I posted a suggestion about "dead emotes," which would allow you to do pretty much decide how you looked when you died. Maybe you explode, maybe you melt, maybe you float in a foetal state. Generally, I think it's a good idea, though I believe BABs rejected it back then.
