Content for Future Issues?

I was dancing in a mission waiting for my team to come help me fight a Arch-Villain when it hit me... they need more dance moves! It was cool that they gave us new Boom Box songs that we are able to pick through, but what about the oh so fun dance moves? Where's the Funky Chicken? Or the Macarana?

Also I'd like to see the 5th Column rise up against the Council and show their true might!

And always, there is a need for more monsters!

Re: Content for Future Issues?

1: new costume options. i want to put slogans on my costume or advertisements.

2: update the old zones. change Atlas or Galaxy. put new statues in, new buildings.

3: fix something. clean up the hollows a little bit, or do some cleaning of Boomtown

4:CHANGE UP THE REQUIREMENTS FOR GETTING THE MONSTER BADGES!

if you do any damage to the monster, and you stay in range, you get the badge, like with Paladin.

5: change up which zones have which enemies. show that some groups are moving up in the world by bringing Outcasts to Talos, and demoting Warriors to SC.

6:PUT A TRAIN STATION IN FOUNDERS' FALLS!

i don't know how many times it would've saved me time if i could go straight from FF to SC.

7: put some new train station connections in. i want some more zones that have both yellow and green trains. i don't want to have to go from FF to Talos to SC just to get to Atlas quickly.

8: high lvl mishes in low lvl zones. I want to go into Atlas, fight a lvl 38 mish, then come out, run into a lvl 39 ambush, and draw them into Atlas Plaza just to see what's going to happen.

9: get rid of the Earth Thorn Castors from the CoT. I know this isn't going to happen, but it's a wish of mine.

10: Quick transport. i want to pay some NPC around 1000 inf, and he'll tp me to any zone in the game. this NPC is in all the zones.

If i think of any more, i'll post.

Humph!

Gads!, they were Whimcycle's Exp. ATMs 34-37 levels! They can't hit the broadside of a barn and give decent exp for the fight. Whim is tapping the Air Thorn Casters now. Twice the experiance, same ineptness.

1) Yes, some more trams would be nice, have the city float a bond issue!

2) By all means, demote the Warriors! They are the worst. Every villian group in Talos beats up on them.

3) Still like to see a live event lead by one of the remaining 8.

I'd like to see the ability to put more than one letter on a costume, even if it's only 2.

Agreed. I'd also like to see a new starting zone. Something with a new set of low level baddies. The low level content gets boring for us alt-o-holics.

QUOTE

See number 2. One of these zones could be made into a new start zone. It would be cool for boomtown to become Baumton again.

This isn't the case already? I've never been in a team that took down Lusca, I was always solo, but I got the badge the first time I helped take her down.

QUOTE

5: change up which zones have which enemies. show that some groups are moving up in the world by bringing Outcasts to Talos, and demoting Warriors to SC.

More storyline as a whole would be cool. I'd like to see the hellions stage a coup and take over some of Kings Row, too.

QUOTE

6:PUT A TRAIN STATION IN FOUNDERS' FALLS!

I don't think you'll see this. Founders Falls is supposed to be a \"high class\" area. No one in a high class area wants a train station in their city/zone.

QUOTE

7: put some new train station connections in. i want some more zones that have both yellow and green trains. i don't want to have to go from FF to Talos to SC just to get to Atlas quickly.

I'd at least like to see a Green Line in Skyway City, down by the Faultline entrance.

8: high lvl mishes in low lvl zones. I want to go into Atlas, fight a lvl 38 mish, then come out, run into a lvl 39 ambush, and draw them into Atlas Plaza just to see what's going to happen.

That's why they DON'T do it. You sometimes get high level missions in Kings Row. Actually I had a Level 30 ambush in Kings Row the other day by a couple Freaks. Thankfully no one died.

Not for Kraken it isn't. got to be on a team that does the most damage. BAD IDEA

I think we need a blue line. That cross links the green and yellow lines, and has perhaps a few extra stations. It takes forever when your contact in FF gives you a hollows mission.

Re: Content for Future Issues?

You wanna know what I want? I think that new types of missions would be nice. The whole search and destroy mission is getting pretty old by now, and a few new mission types and maps would be an interesting change of pace. I realize Issue 5 has burning buildings now, and Supa Trolls (who had that idea?), but we could always use more to keep things fresh. Perhaps a hero can be jogging through Blyde Square and hear an alarm, follow the alarm to a bank and stop a bank robbery (a door mission that every hero in the vicinity can get into) or perhaps a drive by shooting. You either follow the car to a hideout, or just stop the car in its tracks and arrest the baddies. Another Idea, a former Malta Commander gets cold feet and needs you to play body guard, leading them through Talos Island at night on your way to a secret Rendevous (did I spell that right?) with a contact, when u are attacked and they try to gun you both down. Man, I got all kinds of ideas today. Anyone think States could use a script writer? Wonder how much they make... :)

Those are great ideas. There's all kinds of missions the devs could put in. Anything the "real" comic book heroes did, really. Your bodyguard mission would be pretty easy for them to put in, too. All they have to do is apply the same protocol they use to send mobs to ambush you at your contact, but just not right away.

Re: Content for Future Issues?

I would like to see seasonal weather and changes in paragon just for decoration maybe like occasional snow fall durring the winter, and the leaf colors changing with fall moving in. I would also like to see a little bit of weapon customization like chosing the weapon colors, i mean it kinda seems like every hero that uses a weapon gets their weapons from the same supplyer.

We've got Hostage Escort missions that are coming in I5 as well. Which I might add are extremely annoying when you're soloing.

Re: Content for Future Issues?

Id like to see some kind of spy/information gathering mission. your contact desperatly needs some info on a CoT plan. you go in, with a CoT disguise, similar to the freakshow disguise, find clickys, talk to some mages, etc. maybe not the most fun kind of mission, but it would be nice once in a while not to have to worry bout gaining more debt or moving closer to the cap lol. Also, it would be something new and diff for COH.

or even something along the lines of you contact needs info on a council plan, he sends u to a council contact. you do some missions to earn his trust, steal this from the malta, take out that rikti base, etc(i do realize malta, and rikti, are a little higher up than council, but its just an exampe). then he lets u in on his plans. now you cant just got back to your real contact, and let him follow thru with his plans can u? your gonna have to arrest him now. be prepared, im sure hes got backup waiting just in case u do turn out to be a spay. bam ambush. :D

Re: Content for Future Issues?

Aye weapon customization would be nice.

I'd also like the costume list even further expanded. Both new costumes and more animalistic heros should be added. For instance make a face for a minotaur and feet too. A semi cat/dog face. Lizard face. Feet to go with em.

Not every hero has to be human, robot, or a girl with cat ears and a tail.

Granted they do have an organic set or two but I'd like the animal side expanded to match the tail options.

EDIT:

I'd also like to see MOST scrapper and tanker power taken and retooled for the other.

Example....Make a Super Streangth scrapper with the moves changed up a lil. Perhaps a broadsword tank with the moves changed up a lil.

I think the melee power sets should be mostly interchangeable like blasters and defenders. I really hated not being able to make a War Mace scrapper.

Yeah, or a Regen Tank. That would be nice. There aren't nearly enough tank primaries.

That reminds me, more things:

11: Custimizable weapons. i want to be able to select for my scrapper the Katana primary power set, but instead of a sword, i want to have a hockey stick.

12: Changing the colors of powers might be nice, get them to reflect your personality. we don't all have to have red flames on our fire tanks

In response to 11: They should make "Clubs" primary where you can choose the club type, like baseball bat, hockey stick, etc etc.

Number 12 is supposedly coming soon.

Re: Content for Future Issues?

There needs to be new ways to get into the missions. Instead of just walking into the front door, why can't we go through the roof or come up through the sewers? Those would be fun for the warehouse and office building missions.

In Croatoa, you can click on Magical Mushrooms to go into your missions...it's a little odd. I guess they're "Pathways to the Spirit Realm".

Re: Content for Future Issues?

Costume options
*Bare legs for the gents: briefs, boxers, loincloths, kilts
*More hats: bowlers, top hats, and a feathered Robin Hood cap
*Military uniforms

Power sets
*Scrapper secondaries need some love. I nominate a variation on Devices (instead of Stun & Aim, substitute armor & healing at low levels). Put some tricks in your utility belt.
*Blunt objects for Tankers. I've mentioned rolling pins and frying pans before. Unfortunately, each one probably needs a separate animation, even if the attack attributes are the same.
*If the game engine allows, a size-changing set would be great. Probably for Tanks - grow to 12 feet tall to resist knockback, have an auto-taunt for all foes in range. The paradoxically-named Dwarf form for Kheldians is probably a substitute for this, but it's not enough.

Contacts
If the future brings more reliance on Contacts instead of Stores, as threatened, then there need to be some changes. The contacts you get should be more dependent on your Origin (making that initial choice less irrelevant). Further, origin-specific contacts should constrain which villain groups you encounter. It's not like non-magical heroes will never see CoT or Tsoo, not when they assist on a magical teammate's mission.

Missions
*I've been wishing for car chases for months.
*Bank robberies / heists in progress are an excellent idea.
Maybe the new types in Issue 5 will improve the variety.
"Villain wave attacks?" Is that like the Reactor trial, where you take a defensive position, protecting a MacGuffin against villains who come to you? We could use more of those (and their mobile equivalent, VIP escort).

Zone changes to reflect progress & loss should be included in every issue.
Scenery changes to reflect seasons might as well be included, too. (Given the limited nature of the Winter Event, this is probably too much to hope for.)
Improved transit connections: I had given up hope, but now that you mention it, this is one area just itching for an upgrade. Why can't Founders Falls have a train? The joint looks like a classic European city -- which are all built around central train stations.

Taxicabs. You just hail one, tell it where to go, and it drops you off - if you've got the influence, that is. Make them nice and pricey by the mile so the lowbies can't afford to go from Atlas to Portal Corp, but not too pricey for the 40's to afford the same trip. No taxi service to the hazard zones, though - just drop off outside the gate.

Costume Options

- Trenchcoats as a costume option, maybe under capes since it would flow like one.

- Choose how many claws you want, personally I would like to have one big claw on each hand instead of the standard three. I don't think they would have to change the animation for the powers, just the skins...

- Backpacks and sheaths for swords. I know that Superheroes are supposed to be able to keep thier weapons in a pocket dimension. ; ) But I would kind of like to see a backpack on certain Toons of mine.

States has talked about trenchcoats in the past. It's something they do want to put in, but will be a while. They require a new physics engine to be written for them. They won't flow exactly the same way as capes, so it'll be different.

trench coats, could also be put in with jackets. id like to see trechcoats myself.

backpacks? would u like to see man purses too? jk :P
sheaths, yeah i can agree with that one. many a comic book hero has a sheath. conan, leonardo, even anime characters like hei(sp?) from the yu yu hakusho series.

an add in i would like to see myself, customizable jewelry. how may green lanterns do you see out there without the lantern ring? that could be a big character creation deal. your toon gets his powers from a single item, alongside their own personal powers, would make for some pretty intersting bios as well. how did u get it, what does it do, etc.
as i said green lantern, is one who derives power from an item/jewelry.
