My wishlist has only one item:

A hero pet class utlizing a single pet.

The player would have 2-3 different types of even-level pets they could train, but only one could be out at a time. The secondary would be the dominator "assault" line. Have its class inherent be called "Symbiosis": As long as the pet is alive, and in Supremacy range, it slowly but constantly transfers health and end to the player if the player's health/end levels are lower than the pet's. It can even survive the player's death, although it will constantly lose health until it dies if the player doesn't get a rez. The price: if the pet dies first, the player loses a major chunk of his current health and endurance instantly. The pet is much, much stronger than an MM boss pet, but of course, there is only one as opposed to six. The rest of the player's primary would consist of support or control powers, such as out of Poison or Storm.

Some sets might have a temporary pet or two tacked on, but only the main pet would respond to commands the way MM pets do.

Here are mine

1. Mayhem and Safeguards available in Oroboros
2. No more hunts! Remove them from TF/SFs and old contacts. Then create a "Hunts" contact for players who enjoy them.
3. Make the Shadow Shard a shared zone.
4. Fix bugs.

Thought of a new one last night.

When combining enhancements, make the "Success" animation about 90% shorter. Yes, its very pretty, and I'm sure some intern worked very hard on it, but when I got 30 more slots to work through, it is nothing more than a speed bump.

The return of low level teams.

The ability to set up a direct debit for base rent.

I'd love to see a "Beastial Melee" power set (available for multiple archetypes, similar to how Energy Melee is available for several archetypes)...

with powers/attacks like:
1- Lunge (Use tail as Lever/more power to Pounce on a foe with all four limbs for heavy crushing/clawing damage),
2- Stomp (Use tail as Lever to jump on/crush a foe with both legs),
3- Tail-Swipe (fast, moderate damage Tail Whip against a foe),
4- Bite (heavy crush with fangs/horns/bite/tusks against a foe),
5- Claw (quick slashes with arms),
6- Tail-Wrap (Entangle with tail & Hold a foe),
7- Tail-Sweep (Trip multiple surrounding opponents),
8- Feral Rage (Tail swipes, lunge & bite combo back & forth in a cone - against multiple).

I would like to see a alternate set for each primary and each secondary. So when you level and have to pick powers you have 2 powers to choose from from each primary and each secondary. Would be a great way to diversify the builds and it is like introducing new sets. How many times did I wish with my Earth Rad Troller I just had one or two attacks for solo play reasons.

I would start with the least played sets. I'm pretty sure they have all the stats to determine this. Further it would not break that cottage rule issue.

I'd like a way to block certain recipe drops, like Temp powers. Think about how many purples you might have gotten if your inventory wasn't choked with revolvers and baseball bats.



The answer is probably zero, but it could be as high as ONE!

Poison Defenders
Toxic Blast

PLEEEASE !

more IOs
pvp fixes
reactivate base raids and reconnect them to CoP

Funny - was thinking of starting more or less this exact topic until I stumbled across this so i'll stick my thoughts in here instead.

The tl;dr version of all this is that I would like to see far more bugfixing, rebalancing, proliferations and zone and story revamps. Something approximating to reasoning below:

I appreciate that in the face of rival games it is better to be releasing new content than doing less immediately sexy and headline grabbing stuff such as bugfixes and the rest. The thing is (imo) the game already has a MASSIVE amount of content. The sheer quantity of different powerset combinations is staggering. There are zones everywhere - so many that some are barely used.

The trouble is that not everything works as well as the rest. We have powersets lagging behind others, entire AT's lagging behind, old content that no-one bothers with because it's not as well thought out and written as the newer stuff and bugs that have been around for years that just seem to never have been fixed. Many things have been mentioned in this thread that are all worthy of consideration (and I'm going to list a few of my big ticket items below) but my general point is that I feel that taking a bit of time to fix what we already have, give it a bit of a buff up, would be time better spent than shoving more stuff into the game.

Right - particular things I'd like looked at:

Heroside content - particularly early on. This is just not up to the same standard as the rest particularly in the light of the Pretoria content. I've been playing for years and am well used to the old content but it must be a little jarring for a new player emerging out of Pretoria to find that all of a sudden the context to their missions has just disappeared. There isn't enough tying all of those storylines together, there's not enough of a feeling of being involved in the greater story of the city. Where are the political subplots? Moral choices?

Which leads also to the look of the old zones. Praetoria is shiny and the rest isn't and again our hypothetical newbie fresh out of Praetoria must wonder why Paragon City seems to be in some kind of graphical timewarp.

Powerset rebalancing. I have to state that I love quirky powersets. I find the different mechanics available is precisely the thing that keeps me rolling alt after alt. Therefore the last thing I want to see is for every set be homogenised into a clone of the current fotm. However I'd love to see a bit attention given to those sets that clearly need a bit of help. On every AT board there are endless discussions about the underperformers and what is wrong with them. With this number of people testing and reporting back it couldn't be simpler for the devs to see where this attention is needed (I work in software development and would kill to have the kind of user involvement these guys have).

AT rebalancing. Stalkers need more help on teams. The last attempt at fixing this didn't go far enough and for the sake of changing a few variables this could be alleviated if not completely fixed - see stalker forum for details. This might be a little controversial but imo blaster secondaries could do with being looked at too (as a whole). To my mind blasters give up too much survivability for their damage in comparison to other AT's. If the control effects on their secondary powers were beefed up a bit (devices probably needs a more thorough going over in light of its team usefulness) they would be more survivable and still retain the flavour of the AT.

IO's. More sets please - particularly where the choices are a bit thin on the ground at the minute. Also it seems odd that the defence bonuses have been paired up but the resist ones (which are thin on the ground anyway) haven't. The resist bonuses could probably do with being beefed up too. And while we're on the subject of defence bonuses:

If IO defence is a balance problem (and all indications are that it's looking that way) then change the to hit equation. Split out power generated defence from IO generated defence and allow them to be debuffed separately. That way IO def debuff could be added into the late game to create more challenge without crippling sets that rely on defence granted by powers – ice armour etc.

Phew - that went on longer than I expected! Sorry for the wall of text ...
