If you could make a new zone, what would it be?

Shadow Shard and Oroborous revamped to become co-op zones, with Shadow Shard having an optional PvP option when you enter it, so you can actually have Hero vs Villain fights, if you want to.

Little pop-up that says "want to enable to PvP for this zone"

That's it.

Those who don't want to PvP, can click no, and use the zone as strictly PvE zone, never being touched by another player.

But this would also mean it wouldn't have the usual PvP Zone DR in it

Then a revamp of the Shadow Shard TFs to make them more enjoyable to the masses, and go to town!

Let's see....Planetary Zones...forget about the moon...Mars would be way cooler. (( heck even planets in other star systems would be sweet ))
A zone based on the Greek/Roman, after all...are they not the MAJOR god's in CoHverse ?
Atlantis, Atlantis, Atlantis...tied in to the Greek zone ..tied in to a water zone O.o.
FINE...a Moon base ....gaaawd.
Egyptian....uhm...Egyptian something...or maybe persian, flying rugs and genie in the bottle backup as temp powers yey.
Spaceport, i dunno.
Arctic zone.....ice slide bonanza !
Some sort of Sky zone....not sure what...but yeah.
Castle's....German,Swedish,British styles...in some sort of zone...maybe a midevil zone O.o,the possibilities of unlockable costumes in all these places makes me drool.
Groom Lake...hush hush military installation in the desert that everyone knows about. Kheldian home world....if there is one, i would LOVE to see what that would look like.

Oh well...that's some of the stuff i would pay to see .

Your original post was a little unclear

Cast me in with the "normal neighborhoods" crowd. Right now all of the zones on blue side look like what an alien with no concept of human civilization would draw if you gave him a bullet point list of what a city is.

Zones in CoX don't look like places where people actually live.

I would love an Asian Town of sorts. Something that combines a lot of different Asian cultures placed into a mixed modern city setting with traditional themes. Some parts would have high-rises, while others would be a busy atmospheric section with stores and smaller streets. Maybe they'll even be a temple or a school nearby.

We could probably put a trainer or TF contact from one of the characters in WISDOM that hasn't been used yet (Sparkblade perhaps?). Maybe we can have a dangerous part of town where ninjas suddenly appear and attack players (or that could be the zone event).

So... yes, Asian Town. Would really love one.

1. Ancient Egypt
2. Space zone (moon zone or spaceship) or Rikti homeword
3. Old West

I am actually against revamping old zones, as I would love to see new environments that don't look like a modern american city. Paragon and Praetoria are more than enough! . A bit of variety wouldn't hurt.

Also, revamping the Shadow Shard was a cool idea three years ago. Time to move on, guys!

1. Mountains. With hidden caves, ancient ruins/monasteries, hightech super-organization bases (example) and so on.

2. Shadow shard improvement (not revamp as such, only adds stuff). Add a villain base in one of the zones. The previously mentioned Arachnos carrier/spaceship would be great. And add story contacts of 'hero', 'villain' and 'both' varieties. Sort of like pvp zones but without pvp (or make it optional, hmm*).

3. Scary ancient ruins. Think R'lyeh, though the aquatic angle is not mandatory.

4. A desert. On Mars. After Praetorian invasion Recluse has decided he needs a second power base and established an outpost on the red planet. Aliens are discovered and/or arrive and he invites ALL supers to help "defend humanity". Yes, a co-op zone hosted by a villainous faction - good for the 'gray' feel the devs have been going for lately.


* Perhaps revamp the least used pvp zones (Sirens Call and Bloody Bay, I guess) to this model? More/better missions/arcs than the current repeat-ables but pvp is optional.

Jungle. Those luscious, deep, dark green vibrant jungles with stuff that can rip your head off, swallow you whole and/or poison you before you can even say what bit me?

Moon zone. Moon zone. Moon zone.

There. I said it thrice.

Egypt would be interesting.

Or, perhaps a zone where time is screwed up. Like Ouroboros wet waywire and got a few interesting areas fused. So, You'd have Egypt on one end of the zone then a prehistoric zone on the other. You'd see some interesting combinations.. We need more time travel zones

And why would Heroes trust Recluse?
Being invited to another planet by him would look a lot like some sort of trap
