Like the concept! But I think it's already covered as you point out in Thugs. So...
How about, just for immersion purposes, reskinning the thugs if desired to be your clones? I like what you say about the echos/copies/doppleganger effects, simple, effective.
It'd be like power customization.
/Just thinkin' out loud.
August 31, 2012. A Day that will Live in Infamy. Or Information. Possibly Influence. Well, Inf, anyway. Thank you, Paragon Studios, for what you did, and the enjoyment and camaraderie you brought.
This is houtex, aka Mike, signing off the forums. G'night all. - 10/26/2012
Well... perhaps I was premature about that whole 'signing off' thing... - 11-9-2012
Thugs like the rest of MM primary powers is ranged it just happen to be the closest to having an multiple man sort thing with gang war so I used it as a base.
I do realize this would never be added to the game just my random thoughts.
And yeah being able to customize pets for MM would be completely awesome but I do not see that happening anytime soon.
So MM primary are ranged... But this got me to thinking that a up front melee MM would be cool. And with doppelganger tech recently added it got me thinking of guys like Multiple Man. So here is my random 'If I could make a MM set' idea. No its not a suggestion I really don't think the Devs will want to and yet another MM set after they just added one. But what do you think about the idea?
Power............Level...... Effect
Beat Down.......... 1...... Melee, Minor Damage
Create Echo........ 1...... Summon 1-3 Echos
Face Kick............ 2...... Melee Moderate Damage Foe: Stun
Impart Self Will.... 6...... Ranged Upgrade Pets
Fist of Furry........ 8...... Melee (Cone) Moderate Damage Foe: Stun
Create Copy....... 12......Summon 1-2 Copies
Multiply..............18......Summon Temporary Echos(Calls approximately 10 Echos)
Call Doppelganger 26......Summon Doppelganger
Share Soul..........32......Ranged Upgrade Pets
All the names are place holders and yes it is modeled off of Thugs with it being a fully melee based MM with all the Pets also being Melee.
Echos would be copies of yourself only Gray (maybe customizble for color) no auras
Copy would be copies of yourself colors and all. no auras
Doppelganger would be a full copy auras and all (if you had no aura there would be a default glow to keep it from getting confusing)
So that it. My random idea. Feel free to pick it apart as you see fit.
