My thoughts

Just a few things I would like to see in the game.

1) Please just make the fitness power pool an inherted set. I know that there may be players out there in COH/COV that dont use it, but for everyone I know and play with they have it. I find it a waste of set to have to take when basically, one needs it.

- Level 6 Swift
- Level 10 Hurdle
- Level 14 Health
- Level 20 Stamina

Slots can still be put into these powers by players choice.

2) New capes, something like Storms and Banshees of xmen. Not just the same boring capes they have

3) Curly hair styles for the ladies. long and mid length

4) New emotes. Check out the sims games, they had lots of neat ones there.

5) I am a fan of the supergroup base, but maybe we could get our own places. Like apartments. I played some online games that let you do this and I think it would be a great
addition to COH/COV

6) New travel powers. Like Champions online has. Some were really nice there, but I like COH more lol

7) Let there be jet packs for players who want to fly, but not use wings and such. but not that bulky one you get on bank mission.

Thats all I have for now.

I would also add on the use Search function. Many of these ideas have come up before repeatedly with lengthy discussions.

Some have pointed out old post by the devs that END requirements would be removed before Stamina becomes an inherent. IMO, it is a "nice" power, but not required to play the game. You can slot END red enhancements, use IO sets to boost recovery and/or maximum END. END management is part of the game and a challenge for every player to learn.

There is a thread in a few sections above that is for requesting new costume pieces. These could go there.

I don't care about this, but listing some specific suggestions would be helpful.

Again, the search function will show older threads on this.

Again such as...? I know people have brought up swinging and tunnelling. But how would those work in this game?
Can you tunnel up the ramp to the train in Talos? Have you been to GV and notice that some parts around the main building have tunnels underneath? If you were tunnelling, you would suddenly find yourself in those tunnels.
How does swinging work in the tight caves or in open areas like Nerva or IP? Some players say they don't care whereas others say they do - who is right?

From what seems to get brought up is the attachment point. If you make extreme size toons (very large vs. very small) the jetpack doesn't attach correctly in that it is away from the back floating in space or buried in the back. I would love to see jetpacks used more, but there may be some issues still to get it right.

First off, learn to use the search feature of the forums. 1 and 6 are already addressed on this board.

1: See here

2: For Banshee I assume you mean a cape like this which we do have one cape like that. Can't remember what it's called though off the top of my head.

For Storm... she's had a few different styles. The only one that stood out to me, was the one that attached to her wrists. And like with Banshee's cape, if what you're really looking for is capes that attach to arms, is something the Devs have tried and it looked silly in the game. So don't expect it to be coming any time some.

3: I don't play female characters, so I don't know what their hairstyles are like really. So more high styles isn't a bad idea, but when making a suggestion, it's best to give more than a simple example like "curly hair". Be more descriptive, and maybe even put up a photo of what you're looking for. "Curly hair" can mean many different styles.

4: We get new emotes with almost, if not all, new issues. We don't get dozens each issue, but they're still coming. Not to mention the emotes you get with the perks(Wedding Pack/Booster Packs/etc). Trust me, they won't stop coming, and the devs don't need to play The Sims to get ideas for them. Again, if there's something specific you want, give examples. Vague is not for suggestions.

5: Bases are CoH/V's version of apartments/homes. If you want this, but don't want to share it, you can form your own personal SG, inviting only your characters and designing it however you want.

But I get the sense you want both, a personal place, and a SG base. Not something I would expect to see until bases are fixed to where they are working exactly as the devs want them too. Even then, not likely just because then it would a waste of dev time to make something that already exists in the game, but on a smaller scale, taking out features that don't make sense, and adding in new ones to make it different.

6: Again, Search function, and specifics. Here is a like to a search for new travel powers. Now obviously not everything on that like is a suggestion for new travel powers, but how many times do you search google, and everything that comes up is 100% relevant? Read what's been suggested before, and find out why we don't have it.

7: While it would be nice, how exactly do you think this would work? Temp Power Customization? Where you get the raptor pack from the bank, and then you can change the way it looks at the tailor? Because Power Pool customization isn't something they've got going yet, much less making it available for powers that not everyone in the game will get, or want.

Or, are you asking for more back options, so you have the jet pack on you at all times, even when you're not flying?

Keep in mind there are other jet packs in the game. You've got the raptor pack, the Holiday rocket pack, the 30 day Jet pack that you pay $5 for, Red side there's also the Goldbricker Rocket Pack. With I17 there's supposed to be a craftable jet pack, though this probably looks like the raptor pack. I've not seen it myself.

I'm sorry but I have to agree with Penny. You need to be more specific, because other than Swinging and Tunneling both games have identical travel powers.

Granted some of the animations are different. Their teleport animations are better than ours.

I think we have a lot more flexibility with our travel powers than they have with theirs. For example, they have Fireflight which is flight with a fire aura.

We can have flight with the following auras:
  1. Electricity
  2. Fiery
  3. Flies
  4. Gaseous
  5. Glow
  6. Glowing Aura
  7. Rocky Crumble
  8. Sparkles
  9. Smoky
  10. Smoldering
  11. Starburst Glow
  12. Tendrils
  13. Vaporous
Their Jet boots is nothing more than our Flight with a Rocket Boot costume recipe.

The same way their Rocket Jump is our Super Jump with a Piston Boot recipe.

Instead of jetpacks (Ours actually work btw. Theirs are nothing more than nonfunctioning backpacks) they have flying platforms. Hover Disc, Ice Slide, Earth Flight where the character stands still while the platform moves.

Both games have wings

They have Super speed and Acrobatics. We have Superspeed and Ninja Run.

Furthermore our travel powers can be visually enhanced by also toggling on one of the Prestige Sprints Dash, Quick, Rush, Surge, and Power Slide.


Swinging looks dumb as hell unless you are in a city zone like Steel Canyon with lots of tall building to help with the immersion of swinging from building to building.

Tunneling may never be allowed in this game because it's abuse could easily be a gamebreaking exploit. Activate the power and the player is effectively invulnerable. We already went thru this with Phase shift.

Does *anyone* actually take ALL FOUR POWERS in the Fitness pool? There are probably some, but I never do personally - it's usually Swift, 'cause I like to run faster all the time. And I rarely if ever take them at 6, 10, 14 & 20, as per OP's schedule of when to take them, since there are typically much more interesting powers to take at those levels (like Fly!) How can you pass up another attack or one of your armors at level 10? Stamina usually falls about level 22 or 26.

Not going to beat up OP over his failure to use Search, even though none of his ideas were anything that S&I regulars haven't seen before, oftentimes multiple times per month, since the rest of y'all already pointed out the error of his ways. (my English teacher is probably cringing over that spectacular run-on snetence,)

I have a few characters that use the entire fitness pool when character concept calls for it. That being a character that doesn't have exotic powers to manipulate. Just increased speed, agility, health, and endurance from hard excerice, and weapons and equipment a normal human can use.
