Expansion Ideas

I was thinking what kind of expansion I would like to see. I have a different post about vehicles, but here I am talking about environment. I sense by reading the main boards that there will be portals to differnt worlds, and thats great. However, they could do some expansions on good old planet earth - I am sure they will.

The point hereis: What would you do if you were lead designer.

I think I would implement some sort of underwater expansion that included a new aquatic power sets. you could have an underwater race (atlantians or merfolk), sunken city, sea monsters, 5th column scuba and submarines, underwater caverns, all kinds of cool stuff.

What would you like to see??

-I find your lack of faith -- disturbing - Darth Vader.
-Life debt can never be repaid, it can only be acknowledged.
-It is well that war is so terrible -- lest we should grow too fond of it. - Robert E. Lee
-Magnificent! Compared to war all other forms of human endeavor shrink to insignificance. God help me, I do love it so! - General George Patton Jr
-War is always a matter of doing evil in the hope that good may come of it. - Sir Basil H. Liddel-Hart

Re: Expansion Ideas

I was thinking something similar to your suggestion as I read the first part of the post. Another thing that might be cool would be something like lvls that are flying fortresses that you have to attack, like an invading ship or something, the whole team gets a fly temp power or something, and have to assault and capture the invading ship.

A time portal would be cool, go back and take part in the Rikti wars and change history (ltl complicated maybe :p)

I still want bases (coming in COV i know i know...) But i really hope they can have a training/danger room to practice in (rather than using the test server)

I guess I'm back then... :)

Re: Expansion Ideas

Aside from vehicles or pre-14 semi-travel powers, I would like the buildings to be fully accesible every floor all the way to the roof. Not just to be fair to those of us without fly or SJ who want to take a nosedive off a skyscraper, but to add more hunting ground to the game. Each floor could contain a mix of different villians. Like a mission map but without the mission bonus. Anyone could enter the building just like a regular zone map. Pregrine is overcrowded on everyserver and it would be a nice addition to the game imo. But more importantly vehicles.

Re: Expansion Ideas

I would add more Villain involvement in the story archs. That way there would be more of a plot twist when we would find out Dr. Vahz isn't really the main villain in his arch.

That would be done by getting special passes to a jail/insane asylum by a contact and then visiting one of these places in order to have the arch-villain or boss be your contact.

Music - I would add more music to the game! I know that we can stream music from here while playing, but what about the dial-uppers!?

Cut Scenes - How about more CG Movies after certain events? I know that takes memory, but you should have the option to turn it on or off.

Power Sets - I would definitely make more power sets, although the ones that are out are great. Why is dark blast a defender only blaster set?

Voice chat - need i say more?

Umm, I am sure I am not saying anything new, but I just want to reemphasize what may have already been added.

Re: Expansion Ideas

Ok one of my favorite things that my BF suggested once on the main forums is specalized arch villians... you don't have to make all new ones... but in comics if you'd kicked Dr. Vazh's butt 3 or 4 times he'd ahve come after you... just make it like a Baggage and all the sudden he appears in an ambush. The best way to keep it from being like the ambushes... you know they always get left behind. Have them focused on only you or your group. THe only way he'd attack someone else is if they attacked first... AND he wouldn't attack someone that attacked if their lvl was too low... so you've got no lowbies getting mauled by AV ambushes.

Haven't finished your arc's??? NP the more you kill of a certain type of baddie the more they start comming after you... Like for me I LOVE kiling Volt Tanks in Bricks... logically they should start getting pissed that I'm taking them out and start comming after me to take me out. Just following line of the Comics here.

And with this SK thing.. how about permanant SK's... not nesicarrily changing the lvl of the SK but giving the option to have a Batman and Robin type interaction... so if you're SK'd to someone else and not playing in the same zone... but your mentor get's attacked by and AV have like an auto send message "Sapphire Gypsy, Iron Crusader is under attack by the mighty Dr. Vazhilock!" and then be told where he is... When my BF is playing we're in the same room, so I know pretty much where he is... BUT... it might be fun for people unlike us.

Ok just some idead to toss out there... IF you want to see some mroe of my BF's idead you can search the COH boards for post by Iron Crusader... I think that was who he was posting as :) He had some good ideas

Re: Expansion Ideas

KK i'd like tanker powers to be thrown to scrappers and vice versa. Keep the elementals as unique for tankers and certain swifter skills unique for scrappers. BUT sheesh cmon lol. I want a MACE scrapper SOOOOOO bad. Also I think defenders should get bonuses for doing thier job well in support and not blasting. Some count as in healing or something for each set and give rewards after a certain amount.

Hmmm....I'd like to see min controllers last power changed as well. Mass confuse really isnt that useful unless you can do it from outa aggro range. Even then it really hurts more than it helps. Give mind control the abillity to control anything up to white or yellow to it. Like completely taking over the mind of a foe. So you couldnt take over a your lvl boss but maybe a minion or lt. This would also help balance mind and its lack of pet.

Hey now wait a minute. I have a FF/RAD defender who can do his job very well AND blast. Afterall thats the beauty of a FF Defender isnt it? Its the whole "You have your bubbles not go play" attitude of the AT.

I also have a 3D (Dark/Dark Defender) and of course blasting IS part of their job right down to the way they heal.

You know not all Defenders are created Empathy lol.

Re: Expansion Ideas

Another thing I would love to see added is a feature that allows you to buy inspirations out of the vending machines that are inside of missions. Maybe set it up to where there is only one machine half way through the mission.

At least that way the club would serve a purpose, besides being a usefull shortcut sometimes

Yeah, that shortcut became less useful when they moved the Steel Canyon door. I use it occassionally and do a /whoall whenever I go through and I have been the only person on the list every time in the last month.

Umm..where is this club? I want to go! :-)

I love everyone's idea for updates, the under water cities, the sky fortresses, every building be accessable with mobs to fight.

As for my own thoughts, I would like to see maybe a space station that orbits earth that is always under a threat. Or maybe some more new areas that are reflective of cities around the world. Fighting near the pyramids in Giza would be cool. :) Anyway, that is my humble two cents. :)

there are three entrances but the one in talos island is the easiest to find.... go to the natural store.... it is the movie theatre right next to it... the other entrances are in IP and Steel Canyon (the IP entrance is near TV and the SC entrances is by the icon store)
