Evil should get Litter Affinity

I saw the nature affinity video which looked very artistic.

The second I saw it I imagined my villain with running through Paragon leaving a trail of bottles, bags, and cigarette butts. When the hero wrapped the targets in leaves and flowers while that metrosexual music played in the background I could see my villain trapping heroes up in plastic rings while Euro Deathmetal musc thrashed in the background.

There would be nothing more fun for a villain player then summoning up some garbage elemental. Even if the hero defeats it they would still have a large pile of garbage to clean up. You could even give villains an option starting power of throwing garbage at their enemies. NPC gangs could throw empty beer bottles at heroes running past them to their next powerlevel.

The high level power could be Industrial Landfill where tons of Slag monsters get dropped on the target.

Aren't you glad I am not a developer for COH?

As a cat owner I got a completely different mental image from the subject.

However, I agree that Litter Affinity would, by definition, be evil.

Me, too. Although I'd say that true evil would get Peeing-in-your-shoes-where-you'll-only-find-it-when-you-put-them-on Affinity.

Yeah I like the idea for the powerset but it would need a better name. When I saw the "litter" word used I imagined that this would be the powerset Catgirls would use.

Maybe something like "Pollution Affinity" or "Nature Disharmony" would work.

That's more like trip mines than a blast, I think.

Actually, he was an Italian-American.

Those were still some rather awesome and powerful PSAs, though.

So, Pig Pen as a bad guy?

That would be pretty awesome. For anybody. I have an alt named "Princess of Trash," would go great with them.

Would also like a Nature Affinity "look" that resembles, oh, I don't know, the Devouring Earth stuff from the UG trial?

At the very least he was a "dirty" guy.

The development team and this community deserved better than this from NC Soft. Best wishes on your search.

... This topic title had me picturing that scene in Batman Returns.

I think the Legion would approve.

All right!
Stop whatcha doin'
'cause I'm about to ruin
the image and the style that ya used to.
I look funny
but yo I'm stealin money see
so yo world I hope you're ready for me.
Now gather round
I'm the new ghoul in town
and my armors powered on by old coffee grounds.
I beat up all the Legacy ya got watching yoself
so just let me introduce myself
My Power Set is Dumpty, pronounced with a Umpty.
Yo heroes, oh how I like to trump thee.
And all the heros in the top ten--please allow me to bump thee.
I'm steppin' tall, y'all,
and just like Humpty Dumpty
you're gonna fall when the inspirations pump me.


hmm .. maybe not that name

Hm, a pollution power set would be pretty neat.
