Things We'll Never See

Another thing I'd really like to see but I really doubt it will happen. The ability to move some of the game UI windows off the players view screen and allow us to place them on the desktop or another screen we can have opened on another monitor.

I used to play the game with two monitors, but hated the split in the middle of the screen. This allowed for more immersion for me and even tried a triple monitor setup for a while, and while that helped with the split by moving it to either side I'd like the ability to move the helpful elements off the screen but still allow the monitoring of these windows without having to toggle them on and off.

I'd move this to suggestions forms, but I really don't think that it would happen.

Wait....scratch the last one.

We'll never see someone NOT complaining about an issue, regardless of how good or epic is it in QoL, content, etc.

They could give us perma-double xp, 5000 missions worth of content, guaranteed purple drops every 100 enemies, and heck, maybe even a new car, and SOMEONE WOULD STILL COMPLAIN.

and the end of RMT.

Here are two things I've long thought would be cool additions to the game, but I know would provide far too minor a benefit to be worth the Dev's time (thus I wouldn't even bother posting these in the suggestion forum)

1) Customizable signs for bases.

Back when I formed my first supergroup and built up the base, I wanted to organize the salvage bins by tier and rarity, so that there would be one bin for tier one commons, etc. I figured this would make it easier to find specific salvage and would help ensure a good variety of salvage types. Unfortunately, no one but me (and sometimes not even me) could remember the system, so pretty soon the salvage was distributed rather randomly among the bins. I thought it would be great if I could create text labels that I could attach on or near bins that would indicate what kind of salvage each was for. In fact, customizable signs could serve a variety of practical and decorative purposes in a base. Sadly, even with profanity blockers in place, this option could be abused and we'd see bases filled with all kinds of offensive and inappropriate messages, so it isn't really a good idea to have something like this.

2) Complete career defeat statistics.

I was looking at my progress bars for defeat badges on one of my characters and I thought, "wouldn't it be great if you could pull up complete defeat statistics for each character?" Not just how many mobs of each faction, but also how many lieutenants and bosses for each faction, as well as the the unique named enemies that character has defeated. Also, tracking which arcs each has completed would be nice too. I have so many alts, I can't remember what half of them have done. But I know there are far more useful things people would like to see, so I don't imagine developing something like this would ever take much priority.

Also, on the subject of game statistics: my first day playing CoH, I ran into an information kiosk on a street corner. It looked like the one in the tutorial, but seemed designed to provide ongoing player statistics. Except it listed "no information" under every category. Most of the time, I don't even notice those things anymore, but every once in a while, I'll come across one and check it. It's always "no information."

I don't think I've ever known anyone to mention them. The wiki only seems to mention them in the section on features included with issue 2:
