My AE Wishlist

1: Power customization for your critters. This is a HUGE want and something I've been asking for ever sense Power spectrum.

2: Do away with Primary/secondary. Let us take whatever we want with whatever sets we want.

3: In addition to number 2, add a number of 'Generic' powers. Stuff that a lot of mobs tend to have like the Sub machine gun and pistols of lower leveled gangs.

4: A cutscene generator. Even something as basic as 'Focus on Mob A while he talks to Mob B. Mob A emotes at 2 seconds into the cutscene and mob B emotes 4 seconds in.'

5: Add a 'Spawn at level range...' option for custom groups. So that someone could make a truely balanced villian group for 1 to 50.

6: Giving old mobs new powers. Say I want to take a Freakshow Juicer and make him a boss in addition to diffrent powers. Mobs use the same skeleton as a whole, so why not? Exemp from this rule would be the odd robot and anything else that wouldn't look right.

7: Map Generator. A lot of tilesets seem fairly basic and straight forward. Being able to make your own maps would be awesome.


Sigh, if only. I'm not really demanding any of these things, (Execpt 1), but they would be REALLY nice to have.

Not sure why it isn't to begin with. Whole-heartedly agreed.

Whatif somebody then decides to make a purely defensive mob? There would have to be an attack somewhere. Restrictions would need to be placed to allow only Attack/Attack or Attack/Defense.

I seem to recall some sort of issue concerning balace with this...Not sure what. I sure as hell want it, though. It should be a sort of mob-only Power Pool.

That alone would require an entire issue. Not to mention how long of a development time. Adding an entire engine to create cutscenes would be a massive undertaking.

I'm not too experienced with AE, so I'm not sure what this means.

I would love this. Words cannot describe how much I want to tweak the Hellions for a high-level mission chain. Beef 'em up and throw in some demonic enemies.

See above comment on cutscenes. Now multiply by a metric buttload.


The off-beat space pirate...Capt. Stormrider (50+3 Elec/Storm Science Corruptor)
The mysterious Djinn...Emerald Dervish (50+1 DB/DA Magic Stalker)
The psychotic inventor...Dollmaster (50 Bot/FF Tech Mastermind)

Virtue Forever.

Critter power customization is not in at the moment due to memory concerns, if I recall correctly. In order for a critter to have customized powers, their file would grow in size, which would mean custom mobs take up even more space than they do today.


Dawncaller - The Circle of Dawn
Too many blasted alts to list, but all on Virtue.

I believe that this can be done using most of the temp powers we have in-game.

You know? With the AE building being almost completely empty 24/7, they could implement your suggestions and the 5 of us that still visit the AE building could at least have fun with our stories.

The devs have stated that we probably won't get a cutscene generator because the one they have is extremely difficult to use. While a map maker would go a long way towards making missions more unique and base building could theoretically be used as a code base, exploiters would probably have a field day and get it taken away from us.

Shame about those dang exploiters. -_-

I use AE for RP purposes and to share my own stories.
