Thinking about the future

Whats after issue 8, you ask? Well issue 9, dummy!

Ok, so issue 8 isn't even out yet and im already thinking about issue 9, but I thought id get in while the iron is hot.

Im sure that the powers that be already have issue 9 on the drawing boards or ideas floating around, but what do YOU hope to see in the future issues?

Personally id like to see something like the following:

1) An evolution of a villain group. With all these villains getting a bit more criminal with issue 8 and the clockwork becoming more agressive in New Faultline, maybe we could see a few more upgraded bots, more evolved Lost or even the emergance of the Coralax at the damaged dam?

2) More mid-level areas. Faultline is now a lower level area, leaving a little less for levels 25 - 35 to do.

3) Less building sites, more city development. Kings Row has had cranes and building sites up forever, lower Skyway is stil under construction, Boomtown is still a mess but at least Faultline is getting better. Id like to see a few of the building sites finished off and a few more buildings go up. Saying that, it would be nice to see a bit of destruction in built up zones. Build a bit and knock a few of the old ones down.

4) Costumes. Its wonderful to see wings, kilts, and trenchcoats added to the costumes, and its great to see more ear choices for us furs but theres so much more that can be done. Id like to see:

Hairy Chests, legs and forearms
Additional hair styles like dreads, platts for men etc
Jet packs and metal wings for natural and tech flyers
Single robotic legs, like robot arms, but for legs
Thicker and more varied tails
More cultural costume peices; african jewelry, native indian headdresses etc
More specific items like jester hats, blood stained lab jackets, hooded cloaks etc
Choices of colours of superpowers; black lightning, red radiation and the like. Also personalization of weapons, flight style or pets.

5) Additional powers. Although thers a large amount of powers already, id lke to see ones such as:

Plasticity: long range punching, enveloping, constricting
Water Powers: blasting with high pressure water etc
More weapons apart from sword, claws and mace
More necromantic / nasty attacks like blood blasts or bones
Nature powers for Heroes

6) More help with Superbases. I have no idea what my mystical advisor is supposed to be attached to, or that I needed control and energy in specific rooms when I started. Can't the guy at the desk tell you this stuff. Also id like to see a boost in infamy or the superhero equivilant (cant think of it right now). For a super duo with a base, it almost impossible to get anything helpful to the group.

Theres proberly more, but I cant think right now.

I like that idea. Would be cool to see some sort of progression of the villainous group. I for one want to see the return of 5th Column and take back what was taken from them when Council emerged.

2) More mid-level areas. Faultline is now a lower level area, leaving a little less for levels 25 - 35 to do.

Actually Faultline is now a zone for up to level 25 or so. It was before a zone for 11 to 20 roughly but the changes they made moved it up a bit more. Add to that level range from 20 to 30 is nice....Boomtown, Croatoa, Talos Island, Independence Port, Terra Volta and now Faultline. But yeah some levels need more love in some zones.

3) Less building sites, more city development. Kings Row has had cranes and building sites up forever, lower Skyway is stil under construction, Boomtown is still a mess but at least Faultline is getting better. Id like to see a few of the building sites finished off and a few more buildings go up. Saying that, it would be nice to see a bit of destruction in built up zones. Build a bit and knock a few of the old ones down.

Another idea I agree with but I was always thinking it would be cool to see Boomtown restored but then a sudden villain outbreak causes part of a old zone destroyed. Thus making it a temporary Hazard Zone. Then for that period of Update to Update heroes would need to hit the streets and take it back. Progressive zone changes I guess is the term. But yea agree with changing things int he zone to look like things are happening.

4) Costumes. Its wonderful to see wings, kilts, and trenchcoats added to the costumes, and its great to see more ear choices for us furs but theres so much more that can be done.

Definitely, and I believe that every issue so far has had some sort of costume additions so there is always a chance to get something you want.

QUOTE

5) Additional powers. Although thers a large amount of powers already.

Powers are always great. Would be cool to get some more but I think we always have to wait on CoV to get equivalent powers to CoH before we get new ones. Maybe some day when issues hit both games will get "x" powers at a time.

6) More help with Superbases. I have no idea what my mystical advisor is supposed to be attached to, or that I needed control and energy in specific rooms when I started. Can't the guy at the desk tell you this stuff. Also id like to see a boost in infamy or the superhero equivilant (cant think of it right now). For a super duo with a base, it almost impossible to get anything helpful to the group.

I have always had a problem with the cost of some of the base items. To add a room is costly but to buy some items isnt so bad. If you want this item, you need this room, but for that room and item you need this room plus this item. By the time your finished adding the rooms needed you can only afford the one item you wanted but now cant get because it needs 10 things to make it work. I understand it all but just cant see why they couldnt fit the cost of items to your SG size. The Gameamp groups do great because we have outstanding members that earn lots of prestige but other SGs that are small and cant pull in player base are pretty much alone and out in the cold with earning things.

On the point of what needs to hook to what, I believe some of the times will tell you what it needs to go to to work. But if you ever have base questions be sure to ask us here or check on game with the Gameamp crew on global. Im sure someone can help you.

RE: Thinking about the future

I would love to see Perez Park revamped. IT get looked over and its a great zone. Kings Row needs places to buy and sell enhancements and i would love to see you be able to change colors on your powers like have red or green energy blasts. oh and tanks need more powers i think radiation would be cool have like Rad infection as like a Taunt power.

RE: Thinking about the future

Those were a lot of great ideas! Some of them have made it on the table and dropped, some even revisited. The thought of being able to make "Black Lightning" would be very cool!

Hairy arms and chests......... Makes me laugh just thinking about what I'd do with it. An invul Tank called Sasquach! They need to put in bigger feet for that one too!

There was a very good post some time back about a new Water based set of Controller powers that was very well thought out.

RE: Thinking about the future

I would like to see the following:
1.) Costume options for mutants and how about body types for the older hero who is out of shape give him/her a beer gut or make them fat. Not all heroes in the comic books are built like body builders.
2.) How about an AV for the heroes so they can have powers simuler to the masterminds.
3.) Do something to revive interest in the arenas. How about making them like a danger room. See how your hero stacks up against the great heroes or see how you stack up against enemy AVs this could give a hero a glimpse of what to expect and draw interest for pvp zones.
4.) For the higher level heroes who are doing too good of a job how about enemies who will keep on hunting you down until one of you is dead. This would be a more intelligent enemy contracted by the big bosses to kill you.

RE: Thinking about the future

i would also like to see a magic blast or some kind set. like, it would have maybe a cone opf lightning, a flare of fire, a freeze, raw magical power blast, cool shit like that. that'd be awesome. oh! and a cane or staff or wand or w/e through which we can choose to channel powers (not the weapon-based ones). like picture a guy with a large wooden staff shooting an energy torrent. while winged. :)

RE: Thinking about the future

Jeez I hope they dont start basing it per account for teh sg roster! At the moment our SG is made up of 3 people and alts and we are earning enough to keep a fully working (5tp & workshop & medbay) base running.

If it goes to per account, would we not lose the bonus from having them in the group? this would put us uber into the red!

As for stuff for i9+ i really really wana see more rikti crash style events like a shivan invasion or return of the 5th column style!

Oh, Hello Mr. Jurassik! Sorry about that arrow, it wasnt aimed at you. I'll just be on my way now... *flees*

RE: Thinking about the future

the way i heard it was one account can have up to five alts, all counting as 1/75th of the entire sg...u would still get ur 20k bonus per toon, and u could still have all of ur toons in..just that each 5 or so per account equals 1. so u could have up to 2 or 3 slots with ur whole server filled with toons in the same sg. still not sure if this is true tho..anyone else got a clue?

I would love the ability to change alignment. Heroes turning bad and Villains turning good.

just go monstrous chest and hands and you can be hairy. the mystic mustache, my FF/energy def is a hairy sucker and looks dead sexy.

and the changing of power colors wont come for a long time. the colors are 'baked' into the coding and apparently it would take a huge work load to make that customizable, or so i've read on the main boards.

RE: Thinking about the future

I think it would be difficult to do but i'd like to be able to launch raids into areas of the Rogue Isles/Paragon City. Obviously it couldn't be a common occurence, but it would be good for a few heroes/villains a month to be picked to be dropped in with a specific objective (steal something, or raid a lab, take hostages) and have to complete the mission and make it to a drop off point. It would certainly add a new dimension to the game.

RE: Thinking about the future

Id be interested in a mid ranged set, so an attackset from a medium range, so you can get in clsoe but not to close sorta thing, how about a whoel new AT for it? Stuff like rubber/streching powers ect

Also a dual wielding scrapper (or something)where you could get a katana in your right hand and an uzi in your left, then go blast and slash some scum at the same time, possibly a whole at for this so you could have likt a mace/axe or a dual sword wielder

One more thing id like to see (other then new powers, csozzy parts and base parts *urgent!*) would be a new special TF which sends you to the rikti home planet so you can put a stop to them there and stop them from ever raiding the Earth in like a special level 50 only TF, or at least something simular to the Recluse SF...
