Future Booster Pack Suggestions

Posted

Have an idea for what would make a good quality boost pack? Post it here so we can keep them all together.

The List
Melee Weapon Booster
Massive Costume Pack
Mastermind customization Pack
Marketeering Pack
Monster Pack x2
Enemy Group Pack or Packs
Elemental Theme Booster Pack
Travel Booster Pack
Apparentment Booster Pack


------------------

I'll start off:

Weapons Booster covering swords, katanas, maces, claws, axes and maybe bows.
-3 to 5 or so new weapon models for each set
-The ability to add auras to weapons (or just versions of weapons with auras already present, sheilds pretty close to this already with some of their options)
-New Weapon Animations for each set
-30 or so New costume pieces for weapon uses like belts with knives tucked into them.
-Alternate Animations for pool powers, temp powers, etc. to avoid redraw where possible (obviously dual blades is always going to suffer here): IE: Sands of Mu as a Flurry of sword strikes rather then a flurry of punches and ghost ax just as a special attack with your existing weapon much as was done with brawl.
- Weapon baced emotes like special alterante draw animations.
-Inherent Power - Weapon of Choice inherent power which gives a small 5% chance to do do extra energy damage with a weapon. (Or something an par with the origin booster rather I'm not particular here so long as it isn't another stinker like Shadowy Presence)

I'd love for the art department to go read some comics, and say...hmmm...we should beable to make that costume!

Sooo many hero outfits I see in comics that I wish I could use pieces of.

Indeed you can almost never have too many options provided they properly managed/organized so people can find the ones they want.

Mastermind custom pack (granted probably an expensive one):

1. Alternative pets images for example female soldiers, ninja, thugs or different zombies, robots and demons. For example using Vahz zombies or clockwork robots.

2. Special emotes for MM pets like having all of them form a band or barbershop quartet or a sports team like a basketball squad passing the ball around like the Harlem Globetrotters.

3. New MM primary or primaries like pirates and clowns or elementals.

4. Matching costumes for the Mastermind based upon the pets.


total kick to the gut

This is like having Ra's Al Ghul show up at your birthday party.

I started another thread on something I'd pay extra for. Since it would be additional money for additional "features" I thought I'd link to it here.

Call it the Marketeering Pack or some such, but I'd drop $10 to have access to my in game email (including attachments), my GFriends list, the market, and crafting from the Web or my mobile phone. Throw in access to my Global Channels for bonus points.

Those are two really good suggestions I'd love to see as well! I want to see Zombies or Ninjas doing barberhsop!

I have no idea if they could do that or not with the current game but I think it would be a must have feature for CoH2 if they ever get around to doing one of those. Though I think that would kill some people's productivity in the work place.

Pretty much all the above /signed.

Id really like to be able to wear my weapon(s) rather than pull them out of my...
Sure if I was a magic toon I could maybe summon/conjure my weapon but if im Natural or Mutant?

Talons instead of claws yes please

Also more armour options like Chainmail, chainmail coif, heavy tech armor (like Starcraft/Warhammer heavy).
Maybe even a chainsword option for Tech Melee types.

That would be cool but I think it might require some finger animation which so far the dev's have said they can't do.

No more booster packs, and instead have the artists work on stuff that everyone gets to enjoy!


Issue 16 made me feel like this.

I don't think that is very realistic and personally I'm not totally opposed to booster packs as they allow the developers to higher on more help. As long the free issue continue to be released along side the paid content with equal quality I just want them to make sure the booster packs are a good value for the money they charge.

Hmm, how about packs based on enemy factions?

Longbow Pack
- Longbow pattern and parts for Tights
- Power: Nullifier Rifle

Freakshow Pack
- Freak parts! Excelsior pumps, metal arms, Tank torso.
- Power: Freakshow Revive

5th Column/Council Pack
- Vampyri parts
- Wolf parts
- Paramilitary parts
- Power: Warwolf Whistle

You get the idea. For those who want to play as if they're a member or ex-member of these groups. Fill in most wanted enemy group parts here.

If they do that I want a Knives of Artemis pack, wrist mounted crossbows are awesome!

Elongated insect heads (mantis, ant, etc). I have an insect based hero (who doesn't?) who's using the gas mask to give his head that pointed oval look currently.

I posted in Sexy Jay's costume request thread a while back saying that I'd love to see specialty missions for/against specific hero/villain groups that let you earn costume parts to look like them.

This would give two benefits to the players:

1) More costumes

2) More content

Travel Booster...Motorcycles, Mini-Jets, Highpowered Pogo Sticks...etc

A booster for Apartments or Private Bases.

This would allow the purchaser to create an apartment or private base with a few teleporters, medical equipment and a small workshop with some storage. It would be usable by 1-6 characters, regardless of alignment and could be accessed via a specific door in the city or location where they have teleporter beacons set. Owning an apartment or private base would not interfere with, or prevent, Group Membership or access to the Groups facilities. Purchasing this booster would grant each of the players characters their own facility.

Many families have members on different sides of the law but they remain family, the same logic could be extended to a few friends which would justify shared access regardless of alignment. If each member granted access to an apartment had their own apartment, it could present the opportunity for friends to "Network" their apartments or bases much like SGs form coalitions. Naturally teleporters locations would only work for specific alignments though they would be perfect for Rogues and Vigilantes.

you can already do this with a regular base. just not entering from the street.

But you cannot share access with members of other alignments, nor can you invite your own toons to a group as they both have to be online at the same time. The Apartment or Private Base should be smaller and logically cost less to maintain.
