Questions for Comic Con.

I'll be at the CoH panel and (hopefully) the meet and great. What questions would you ask?

Will VIP players ever have to pay for new power sets? Not individual powers, but sets.

Will the costume pieces only available with Astrals/Emps currently ever be up for sale in the Paragon Store?

My guess is these would both get a "We can't say at this time" answer, but maybe there might be something useful in there.

Cool, have fun. Never quite sure if I'd want to check these out, but since they're usually on a coast and I can't afford to fly out to them (not sure if I'd like the new invasions of privacy we have in airports now, either), it's rather moot right now.

Are further animation customizations planned? I'm mainly wondering about for weapon sets (since Axe, War Mace, and Broadsword share the same set of animations), but I'm also curious if the animation customizations we already have will be shared with appropriate sets. For instance, Fire Melee did not get the new Fire Breath animation, and sets like Peacebringers and Dwarves (Kheldian form) did not get a fist punching the ground animation, like Super Strength did for Foot Stomp.

I would also ask if any powersets are on the planning table for getting adjustments (beyond what we were told in the powerset proliferation stuff). I guess I'm most curious about Kheldians and Stalkers, since those two seem the most tweaking at this point, Peacebringers especially. People are prone to hyperbole with them, as they are pretty solid. I just think it seems clear they need some adjustments and am hopeful they are being worked on in some way soonish.

The only question I really have that I don't expect to be answered is: will Energy Melee be ported to Scrappers in Powerset Proliferation 4.0, and will it be rebalanced for the better at that time, since it lost its "single-target damage king" throne during the last rebalancing (to a set that also has far superior AoE). [Which reminds me, what is the single-target damage king right now? Is it still Claws?]

But, I'll be there myself, and I think that's kind of a waste of a question... especially since everybody will be clamoring to ask "When is PVP getting fixed?" and "When can I customize my Mastermind pets?" and other generic questions that everyone already knows will get answered with "We can't comment on this at this time/That's not in the current production schedule" like they do at EVERY con.

Since Endurance Drain is pretty much useless in PvE are there any plans to upgrade Electric Blast? Perhaps increase the endurance returned to the caster to something significant or add a small chance to stun.

Any plans to add more Targeted AoE sets? The existing ones lack Recharge, maybe that was intentional, but the category offers little variety especially when compared to Ranged damage and PBAoE. Same thing for Slow sets, little variety, little recharge.

When are we getting a pie emote?

Are you going to re-examine power/at/etc. balance in PvP, especially with the powerset proliferation coming down the pipe.

Give Null the Gull something else to get mobbed for :
"I do/don't want travel suppression turned on".

Other things to consider:
"I do/don't want the ability to team with Shamster"
"I do/don't want to see Voodoo chat"
"I do/don't want to see Mental whine about incarnate merits"

I've already forgotten about most of you

I would think end cost of keeping the travel toggles going, plus the ranges on powers, would be more than enough for PvE... especially now that all mobs have nasty ranged attacks. You're never going to get away scot free.

I dunno, it's just so minor on my list of things that could be better about CoX that I just don't even think about it, I guess. We're pretty maneuverable without travel powers, so it just don't bug me much.

Ok. I think we've got enough questions. Now we need to prioritize. The issue there is do we go by likelihood of answer or how important we feel it is?

Ask them how they are going to re-purpose the Passport badge? They re-purposed Avid Reader, so how about Passport?

Well, I'll vote for Kheldian changes... even if they can't comment on them, hearing that players are interested in changes will hopefully encourage something to happen. I'm biased on the subject, but I think it would help. Peacebringers aren't in a terrible spot, but they do have enough wonky things about them that I think some adjustments are merited.

I vote for PVP!! but nothing'll ever happen there that's for sure..

I want teleport to have a shorter activation time, or the ability to disable the hover afterward, or shorten it, or something. It is useless in combat unless the user also has some sort of fly power on already, or the user is using rooted or granite. If they changed group teleport into a pseudo-wormhole type power I would take it on every character.

Teleport pp generally sucks, but I want it to be good.
