Dragon Masterminds

im sure everyone would love the idea of having dragons, but the main reason im suggesting it is because of the noticable lack of any flying minions, sure minions can hop a ride on group fly, but i can put money of the fact that if there was a dragon summoning set, it would be the most used. And yes it would be similar to demons, but not everyone wants to be going around using a whip, and demons are alittle dark, and with the new seed of hamidon in the skies, i think its about time for a more natural flying pet.

the 1st set of dragons can have a claw attack like demons, but they attack using there feet/claws and maybe tail whips, also their arms can be the wings

when they get powered up they can have Fire Breath (in various forms) and some other form of ranged fire attack (id suggest fire ball just for the looks)

the next summon set can be armored dragons, metal plates. they can have small t-rex like arms.

and the last dragon.. idk, ether be bigger than the others and have full arms that can walk on all fours, or be upright and look like a dragon knight. (i perfer the on all fours just for the looks)

im not sure how the buffs work, so the devs would need to devide the power ups.

and when they are summoned they can swoop down from above and land.

Comments that I would have made in the OTHER thread about this:

Yeah, I am SURE that this is inaccurate. I for one, think dragons should be kept in Fantasy games where they belong. (Fing Fang Foom not withstanding, but of course, he is a stupid character with a stupid name.)

Explain to me how ANY mythical beast is more realistic than any OTHER mythical beast? Oh, that's right... you can't, they are all equally improbable. Also, did you just say that dragons are more realistic than dragons (emphasis mine)... jigga what?

My biggest issue with this idea (aside from you dragging fantasy into my Superhero game) is that Dragons of any level of coolness whatsoever are HUGE... as they should rightly be. As such, this would not work as a MM set unless they are Drakes, or some sort of flying lizard and NOT out and out Dragons.

Now, if there were some in-story reason why there should be a Dragon-like enemy, I am not as opposed to that idea... but a Dragon MM set is just a plain /unsigned from me.

Which will look WONDERFUL in all of the many, many indoor maps this game uses. Bordering on the idiocy of the Bruiser riding in on a motorcycle in a sewer, or Sky Skiffs in the Terra Volta Respec map. I think this game has enough bizarre things like this, adding MORE is not the answer.

and to be blunt, just cause you dont like it doesnt mean a majority of others agree with you, city of heroes is about customisation, and the freedom to do it.

not likely to happen.

For starters, there are no non-humanoid skeletal systems in the game. Creatures such as the Arachnos spiders are effective cheats animated around an "invisible" bi-pedal frame.

Now, that being said, there are some pretty effective tricks that can be pulled off with only a bipedal frame. Demon Summoning, for example, demonstrates that a bipedel skeleton doesn't always have to animate like a Bipedal Humanoid. The use of a Tail Rig on Demon's also removes the possible barrier of too many "action parts" through the use of wings.

However, we then get into other problems... such as the fact that there is no Artificial Intelligence in the game. All NPC characters have a rudimentary series of scripted events they work though. These limited "action scripts" are why NPC's can do things teleport through walls, something players cannot do. This is also why some enemies will suddenly take off running or flying. There is very little, if absolutely none, contextual information being fed to the NPC on the player's actions.

These scripting limitations already affect Mastermind Pets: http://paragonwiki.com/wiki/Patch_No...itect_Overview

All Super Heroes does have fanasty in it so what the hell go for it, We got Greek Gods, Vikings, Magical Weapons, Wizards and Mages and Demons I say go for it, I want this a lot.

if we tell the devs they cant do something, then what chance is there that they will even try. in the future there could possibly be dragons.

characters have wings
robots have a flying animation

it can be done, it just takes time

Dragons are my favourite legendary critters. That said, I don't think they're suitable for a whole Mastermind set. Perhaps the top tier critter in a set of mythical creatures, but even that seems unlikely to me.

so we should discount it because you don't like manga? ignoring that that door has been way open since issue 4, and the fact that it has is one of the reasons I stay, thats really shaky ground for a counter argument. bottom line is there are several established examples of dragons being used in comic books, dragons are not the exclusive domain of fantasy. in fact, look at pern and shadowrun, they fit in sci-fi and cyberpunk as well.

so the upshot is " I DONT WANNA!!" /stomp feet. right?
