Huh...This seems like it could be in line with Patron Pools.
Open Archetype Suggestion thread!, Kirsten's Epic Weapon Pools, Feudal Japan, Etc., Alignment specific Rularuu iTrials!
If Masterminds didn't suck, they'd be the most powerful AT in the game.
I definitely like the idea. I would like to see an arc you get to run for them, one mish every so many levels. And at the completion of each mission you another piece of faction specific costume.
I have themed characters for PPD, Vanguard*, KoA, Malta, Tsoo, and several others. I would love to have the story arc and the costume parts for those groups rather than just trying to get by with what's in the costume creator.
*Yes, I have the costume parts for the Vanguard already. I list them for completeness.
Check out the Repeat Offenders network of SGs! You'll be glad you did.
So, just curious... what would a Midnighter toon get? The ability to sit down while drinking tea?
No, really, they all are built of player costume parts except the one Cabal witch and the Mu and Legacy Chain guards for the Cimerora crystal...

I have no idea on costumes, but I wouldn't mind seeing that added to it. I'm thinking more of badges, temp powers, buffs, faction only aura's, emotes, etc...
I just see so many people create faction themed toons, and thought it would be a good idea to give them a solid ground for creating and becoming part of that faction.

I agree and have always thought it would be great to be able to align myself more specifically with a group. I have a couple characters that think Hero Corps is super nifty neato and want to be a part of that group. I think it would be pretty nice if we could maybe run an introductory arc to join a group and then have contacts within that group that off missions and arcs throughout your career. I think there would need to be some limitations on it though. Perhaps you can only belong to one group at a time. The group you belong to grants group specific merits which you can only use in their stores and switching groups purges all your merits from the previous group. Maybe even go so far as to have group specific IO sets that are tied to a character flag identifying you as part of that group and switching groups causes those IOs to no lose their set bonuses, though the base power adjustments would still be there.
your = Belonging to you.
you're = Contraction meaning "You are."
Ur = The name of an ancient Mesopotamian city.
ur = This is not a word.
I like this idea, and I have a few characters who would use it for sure.
Interesting potential issue: If my villain decides to join, say, the Circle of Thorns, would CoT still attack her? How could she still do missions where she had to fight them? It would be hard to justify IC.
This doesn't seem to be too much of an issue for heroes because heroic factions generally get along with each other, or at least avoid physical conflict, but villainous factions tend to fight each other at the drop of a hat.
Well, I think that's probably the hardest part. I'd say we'd have to forgo creating real factions as I think that would take waaaay more work. Like...enough work to put this on a permanent back-burner. Just RP your joining the Circle of Thorns, but still being attacked by them, as an internal faction war.

Hi all. I had an idea the other day while creating a new toon, named Mender Gideon. His back story is he is a mender in training, for a place in Ouroboros. He is a controller, and I paired him with Time manipulation(appropiate) and Gravity.
I tried dressing him as close to a mender as possible(would love the emblem dev's),and it occured to me, I'd love COX to have a faction alignment within the game.
I also have a toon who is a midnighter. I would love the idea that if the player wanted to, they could align themselves with a faction, and maybe get a cool title, and some badges and of course special mission from that faction. Maybe special day job perks for being with that alignment.
It would work for almost every faction within COX. I also have a villian toon based on being a soldier of Raluruu.
I think if you set it up for every 10 levels or so, you would get special missions from those factions.
Anyone like the idea?
