NEW!!!

I have a few ideas that might be "cool" to me, but stupid to you other folk.

Here they are:

Hero Patron Powers (Statesman, Positron, Sister Psych, Synapse, and Manticore.[all TMed])

Capes @ lvl 6-14 for 50k influence, slot at lvl 15. (Patron Power at lvl 20, then plus 5 lvls until next patron power)

Epic Archtypes at lvl 25

AND... New Costume Options

1st off Welcome to the site!

As for your ideas, I like the Epic AT's right now being a reward for the accomplishment of getting to level 50. But they are going to be putting in more for other accomplishements in the game.

As for Hero Patron powers, what kind of powers are you thinking about? I'm all for more powers *grin*

And I'm not sure (it's been a while for me) is 50k in inf possible at level 6-14 with out help from a higher level?

So len, did you earn that, or was it given to you (yes costume contests count as it being given)?

RE: NEW!!!

I earned it, with one costume contest won :P BUT, I only won 20k for the costume constest so technically, I EARNED over 180,000 influence at 1-14 :)

I just kept selling my enhancments until Some alone were worth over 4k each.
the 4k+ enhancments were found on peregrine island facing lvl 49's.

So in other words you can't get 200K in influence without beinmg hooked up with higher levels toons. level 20 for capes is easily attainable , usually in about 6-7 days of play, conservatively speaking. Not a big deal to get to that level to get a cape and your first costume mission.

RE: NEW!!!

you guys dont understand, its very simple to make 200k with normal 1-14 playing in CoH, just dont buy any new costumes and sell your enhancments.

By lvl 20 with my blaster I'll have easilly over a million influence, and it won't be that hard.

Going with higher levels only made me about 100k... So still, thats 50k earned by normal playing.

RE: NEW!!!

I suppose if you never put an enhancement into your slots, or bought DO's, getting that much inf is possible, but the road would be long and hard, because you are not as powerful as other players who spend their influence on enhancements. I would rather have a fully powered toon than buy a cape for 50K inf, as a cape is good for nothing more than looks, while better damage/defense/whatever makes life much easier. I desperately look forward to lvl 12 and 22, so I can get better enhancements.

Just my opinion, feel free to disregard...:)

1) Patron powers for heroes wouldn't be cool. They've already got Epic powers. Besides, everyone would pick Statesman's "Nerf" powerset...or maybe Positron's "Create a Slavery-like Task Force." CoV players don't get Epic powersets, they (we) get Patron powers. And they're actually fairly lame as far as they go. Everyone gets a sample of being a MM (something we MMs don't really like) and there's really some useless powers in the sets.

2) Capes should stay at level 20 where they belong. As stated above, its not that difficult of a level to attain. I know people who will delete level 20's without even thinking twice about it. Capes are a symbol of honor and power in the game. What's so great is that not every schmo with money can get one. You have to earn each one for each character at level 20. What fun would it be if you could merely buy a cape at level 6? Everyone would be running around with capes on and it'd look like a "B" movie about superheroes. GenericHero392 does not need a cape.

3) Epic ATs should stay at 50. Even though I don't have a level 50 hero yet (and probably won't for a while), they're a class you need to earn. Once you hit the max level in the game, you are rewarded for all your hard work with 2 new ATs to try out. If they handed them out at level 25, people would stop playing the game much sooner.

4) More costume options I agree with. I'd like to see some new symbols, pattern options, mask designs, etc.

As for the influence at level 6-15, teaming with players your own level, getting the money on your own (that includes not getting it from costume contests or handouts/donations), you'd really have to skimp on a lot of enhancements. It'd be about as fast to get to level 15 with no enhancements than to get to level 20 with them, especially with DOs.

All in all, with a lot of the things you're proposing, it'd mean players would stop playing the game much sooner. There'd be tons more characters stuck in Level 25-30 limbo since you'd already earn everything cool not even halfway through the game (it doesn't stop at 50, it just begins).

I think there should be APP's for villains and Patron Powers for heroes. As for who would be the patrons for CoH? I'm thinking Manticore, Positron, Sister Psyche and Synapse, but that could just be me.

I couldn't agree more with you.

Regarding costume options: Although they added the whole CoV costume set to CoH with I7, it just robbed villains of their unique appearances and made too many heroes looking now like serial killers, murderous monsters and raving madmen. It is a bit disconcerting to see a CoH version of Superman looking like Bizarro or a Doctor Doom type of character dressed like Iron Man...

Don't get me wrong; I did take advantage of the expanded choices. I'm all for more options. But I would rather have prefered original new, exclusive looks, like robes for mages-type characters, Japanese armors, longer business skirts and evening gowns for women, different capes (billowing ones Batman-style or one-shoulder draped a la musketeer), ancient and modern shields for knightly or law-enforcement fighters, belted knives, swords and guns, bird-like and fish-like looks, even wings (not like the presently floating insect-capes but rigid insect or bird wings, or arms with leathery bat-wings), etc.
Maybe those ideas are yet to be born in I8... we can always hope and dream.

Heroes get Epic Power Pools as opposed to PPPs, except that heroes do not need to do a TF to earn them and they can respec into a whole other Pool if they choose.

Capes stay at 20. they are a nice little bonus, made me happy as i prepared to enter the 20-30 march.

Epic ATs couldnt be considered epic if people didnt have to earn them. i remember having demos sit on my selection screen for months at lvl 37, colecting dust. i would have stopped playing him alot sooner and missed out on alot of the game had they been available.

costume options are always welcome by me, but some of the ones they have now are idiotic. (i remember seeing them, but dont remember what theyre called).

Wings are coming in i8. its been decided.

RE: NEW!!!

Each side should have both Ancillary Power Pools and Patron Power Pools. There's one that's permanent and the other you can get out of.

New epics Archetypes are coming too(Issue 8 or expansion...)

I'd like events with GM controlling giant monsters and stuff. Co-op(hero and villains) events would be cool too. In the end, I'd like more events more often.

New powersets for some ATs that haven't been updated too would be good. Energy or Electricity for tankers!! After all, they only have FOUR primaries, that's not very diversified.

Cross-server arena would be good, since it's always dead.

More rewards for PvP would be cool too...

Ability to change titles later.

Contact system reworked to be a little more like CoV. Safeguard missions are coming anyway...

More origin-specific content but nothing that could push someone to get one or the other.

New villain types for common villain groups. When you've been fighting Longbow(it's on villain sie but only an example) for a while, it'd be good to have new types of spawn with completey different units or simply new units mixed in the rest.

All the rest I want is supposed to come.

thejeni, I have 214,000 influence at lvl 14 right now :)

I dont know about you guys and this is bring up old news but I have many many alts and thru leveling up to 20 they have never been able to amount more than 30k....maybe 40k. I consider myself pretty good about just earning enhancements and buying what need. I never mess w/ my costumes unless its a cheap like 1k cheap.

If your hitting PI and other upper levels and selling those enhances then I can see where you can get some cash. But most selling prices at that level rarely break 1k. You just dont make enough from missions, rewards and selling to make 200k by level 14 doing approripate level missions.

You know something that would be different would be some sort of uprising in Paragon City. A shift in balance, a changing of the guard in zones. No longer will trolls be in Skyway but worked their way up the food chain and are all in PI now or such. Maybe Tsoo took a downfall and thrive in PP or maybe Galaxy. Bricks has been overran by a jail break and is now a quaratined zone full of prisoners and from Update XX to Update XX the zone needs to be freed to get back to orginal state.

I would like to see:

1. Ability to add logo to Capes.

2. Capes that cover the shoulders and part of the chest,

3. Heroes and Villains Teaming against some kind of epic invasion.

4. Loin Cloths for men

5. Very tiny heroes or villians

CoH Rocks

Blasters kill everything, usually before they get killed themselves. When it comes to dealing pain, a blaster has no equal. We just have a hard time taking our own medicine! So we love Tanks and 'fenders!

1, 2 and 3 have all been suggested on the official boards! I think 3 should be coming in the next issue, they said they will open a CoH zone to CoV players...

There will be some zone reworking, they said it. No more being alone in Faultline :)

Great points Grifter, and a unique way to stir things up a bit and I would concur, Influence in these amounts can be earned at 14, but not within the missions you would have by then....
Feels like a lot more of an accomplishment if you get there the hard way...

Hear hear! The shoulder issue is the main reason I still don't like using capes. As for loin cloths, loose/hanging versions would probably work well as a belt option (there are already lots of "hanging" articles of clothing for both PCs and NPCs, so the animation shouldn't be a problem). Worn over a pair of tights or briefs, the loincloth could add an element of modesty to both male & female characters.

Another thing I'd like to see is an option at lvl 40 for changing the body type of your character instead of just the scales.

True, it wouldn't be too difficult. Think two small capes, on for the front and one for the back. :)

I agree with that. I went to make an alt the other day after watchin a movie. Sadly, I could not create one that was satisfactory, but went with close. Ended up scrappin the idea anyway when I found out the name I wanted to use was already taken...Grammaton Cleric. :)
