The Ultimate Team

Konshu had a nice idea with the recurring NPCs... I also like the idea of using our Gladiators for something more than Arena, as I myself was NEVER able to enter a Pet-Arena match and see what it is.. :-( But I must say nothing like this is necessary if you´re looking for a team, that can be found though chat most of the times.
Anyway there are SEVERAL balance issues to go through, plus the fact that have NPCs do all the work is incredbly boring...

They could be as strong as us.

A tank have 1,000 HPs and do low damage the NPC tanker could be the same : D This may not overpower us, it will still make the mission harder.


Your idea would make the gladiators better though ; )

I just though of something! Know the old Pocket D? The one in Steel, well we could make it a like hero base where all of your heroes from each sever can hang out. That where you can pick who on your team ; ) It would be a like the Super Base, but it is yours and it cost nothing to decorate it how ever you like. Maybe make missions where you unlock stuff to put in there.
You have to be on {hero} friend list or team to get in their personal base : D

Ok maybe every sever is to many.... it still would be cool. What do you think?

There are a lot of things that would be cool to have in the game. Sadly coolness isn't going to convince the devs to implement them.

I think we should be able to have anyname we want. You know, they can use Firebutt@Firestorm : P like that. While we are at making teams ; ) also we need more slots. I know I can buy them but I am poor : P

From the Price is Right, only modified to crap out bad ideas instead?

No.
Go see the existing thread for why.
Link: http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showthread.php?t=203666

Edit: Until it comes back to the front page:
It would make the chat system ugly as hell.
It would likely add to confusion as folks later said "Gee was it Firebutt%Firestorm that griefed the Hami raid last night, or Firebutt%FlameStrike?".
I would give that system 24 hours before someone would come here and say "I saw someone with a cool global name. I want it. Can we tack more stuff in the chatbox so I can be Charactername%GlobalName%IP-Address?"

No.

Why do people care if they see someone with the same name as theries? You still can see them on other severs. I don't think Champions would have done it if it was a bad idea.

Just because Champions did it doesnt make it a good idea.

Statements like this make people question if you have ever actually played that game. No one cares if you like that game but don't try to pretend that it isn't suffering from a host of bad ideas made by Cryptic/Atari.

hehe, I have 1 level 40 : D I like that game. But I want CoH to get the 3 good parts about it so CoH will be way bettter.

All the outfits, arm, legs, back, the thrid and fourth, color on each the patterens.

The nemeisis and travle powers

To have any name

Then the team thing would be nice heheh. The team idea is mine hehehe.

I think this alll will happen someday, my ideas are coming around the corner hehe. The ability to change power's color is already here, and the ability to turn evil/good is on it way : D So, soon... maybe in a year the other 4 will come.

1. The costume thing I'll agree to.

2. Nemesis thing I'll agree to as well.

3. Travel Powers

Flight - They have nothing we couldn't duplicate with recipes or that we already have with auras. Oh and our jetpacks actually work. We win there.

Superspeed both games have it

Acrobatics - we have Ninja Run.

Super Jump both games have it.

Swinging looks good in a city zone but looks stupid when there's nothing for the ropes to swing from.

Tunneling I admit it's different but I recall reading theres a problem with how our zones are made that would make it difficult at best to implement.

Teleport they win hands down.


4. The name thing. We shall fight you on the seas and oceans, we shall fight to keep our names unique in the air, we shall defend our names, whatever the cost may be,we shall fight you on the beaches, we shall fight you on the landing grounds, we shall fight you in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight you in the hills, we shall never surrender. You can have our unique names when you pry them from our cold dead fingers.


5. The team thing. While I have no doubt we will be getting more temp power pets, and I do look forward to that day, the extent that you want it is wishful thinking.

I just though of something that what be interesting, not a very great thing but it is something for a level 50 to do.

You ould buy a house, and find a cute citizen to marry and have kids. Then you can get new misions like someone breaking in your house. Or saving your kid/wife : P

I know this is the worst idea I had, but it is something to do....

Nah, this isn't the worst idea you've ever had.

Sounds like something that could be written up as a story arc.
It would have to consider the gender of spouse that the player's character would want to marry, which we don't know. I haven't checked Rhode Island laws, and I'm pretty sure anything goes in the Ettoiles for two or more sorta-consenting adults.

Sounds like it would require a new map or two. Indoors_Residential_Small
The buying a house mission would be pretty dull. A big-haired real estate lady, dealing with the mortgage broker, an hour or so of paperwork signing. Then getting windowshades, trash cans, a lawnmower...etc.

Who would be breaking into a L50's house that would be a threat?
Arachnos, PPD, Longbow, Malta or Crey seeking to kidnap your family to leverage against you.
Carnies wanting to recruit your daughter?
Clockwork wanting to recruit your toaster?
Freakshow getting the wrong address?
CoT seeking that artifact that you retrieved for Azuria, but it's not at M.A.G.I. right now, so they assume you still have it?
Nemesis wanting to...something very complicated.
Hellions/Skulls REALLY getting the wrong address. "Dude, it was gonna be a simple smash and grab. Get the VCR and some jewelry and split, ya know? Next thing, it's freakin' Captain Stupendous Man comin' outta da bathroom throwing lightning rays at us. The first three guys were turned to ash right in front of me. I ran like heck outta there. I seen him on the news poundin' on a 50ft robot single-handed, I don't think a pistol is gonna do me any good.
I can still smell the ozone, man.
I quit, man. I'm gonna get me a course in Air Conditioner repair and get a job with my cousin. A legitamate job."

I suppose that something decent could be made out of it. Anything is possible.

Yeah, because Jack Emmert never came up with a bad idea.

Power customization was asked for long before you were playing the game, and side switching has been desired since CoV was announced. Both were things the devs stated they wanted to do, but couldn't work at the time. Further costume options and the nemesis system are also things the devs have stated they would like to do, but wouldn't without a good way to implement it into the existing code. Don't think that something you suggested is automatically a good idea, especially if you've piggy-backed on an idea somebody else presented before. A bad idea, even presented in the best way possible, is still a bad idea. I've been in the military long enough to know that fact intimately. And THIS is a bad idea.
