[Base Request Items]

Not sure if this is at all possible given the spaghetti code, but...

 

An invisible flat panel that makes anything on the other side of it also invisible.

 

We've all seen odd behavior on some transparent items than causes certain textures on the other side to vanish.

 

What if this could be exploited so you could hide parts of the base without having to have a visible wall to do so.

 

 

[Base Request Items]

Once again, just basic two sided tintable  surfaces suitable for walls and floors. Of various sizes like the Ledges set of platforms. Pleeeez!

[New Costume Pieces Request]

Single horn version of the Rhino Horn, please.

 

And maybe a set of the dual horns with one horn broken?

[New Costume Pieces Request]

Suspenders. We have Tactical Suspender, no actual regular suspenders.

 

Also, halter top pattern. We have a strapless dress option but no strapped one?

[Suggestions for items to use as walls inside base?]

They are a little on the thick side, but the Dock pieces are nice for wooden walls, and the Ledges platforms for dark tech walls. Just rotate them up on edge.

[Base Request Items]

I would love the Tech Balcony pieces with open edges to have those edges closed off and textured. 

 

Also versions of the balcony corner pieces that do not have railings.

[In game advertising still work?]

For those unaware, at one point during Live, City of Heroes ran in game advertising via the various billboards scattered across the zones. Companies could pay to have their products appear on those billboards.

 

Now, this feature was never particularly successful. Only a handful of ads were ever contracted, and a lot of folks didn't even see those as you could opt out of seeing the ads in the settings.

 

I am wondering... is the system still part of the client/server code? Can custom ads still be put into the game?

 

Can anyone think of clever new uses for this feature if it works?

[Set Incarnate Salvage to Account-Bound?]

Related topic, is there a particular reason to maintain the shards/threads separation?

 

Shards seem like a needless extra duplicate system on top of threads.

 

I don't think much would be different if Shards and Notices were replaced in the drop tables with Thread related rewards.

[Set Incarnate Salvage to Account-Bound?]

Threads to Empyreans would absolutely work and probably require minimal coding.

[Set Incarnate Salvage to Account-Bound?]

Maybe not all of it, but I can't be the only one that has some characters that are "done" with Incarnate stuff and have banked a large amount of the now mostly useless salvage, while having other characters are in dire need of that salvage.

[New Costume Pieces Request]

Would like an "always on" version of the A.C.C.A.H.U.D. plz.

 

Heck, more holographic costume pieces.

 

And the ability to set body parts to translucent in the editor, and not have to use an IO slot for the effect.

[There's Farming and Farming.]

not all cake is meant to be eaten.

Well, there's Uranium Yellowcake.

 

You might get superpowers if you eat it. 

 

Or die.

 

One or the other.

 

(Plz don't eat it)

[Time buffs to Speed?]

Am I missing something, or does the Time powerset contain absolutely no buffs to movement speeds? There's de-buffs to enemy movement, but no ally movement buffs that I can see.

 

Seems weird.

[Ceilings/Roofs for outside bases]

Could use the Dock pieces. Wooden and come in many sizes.

[Base Request Items]

The /AH command doesn't work in any instanced zones, because accessing the marketplace at all from them apparently causes major glitches / code problems.

 

2 and 3 seem like good ideas. 3 might be difficult, as characters have a lot of data to store and the bases already have issues with storing too much data (They are stored as a continuous text string, which has to be the least efficient way possible)

 

4 would require pathfinding A.I. which does not exist in the bases. You may notice pets don't follow you around in base for this reason. Would require massive overhaul of the system for this to happen.

[Can bases get moved to another server?]

Currently not possible at all.

 

There used to be a way to save bases locally, and Paragon Chat figured out how to re-load those saved bases into the game, but so far I have not seen this functionality in any of the new servers since the game came back.

[New Costume Pieces Request]

Okay, okay, hear me out.

 

New skin replacement for War Mace, and maybe all handheld items.

 

PILLOWS.

 

Srsly.

[New Costume Pieces Request]

Would love to see more animal/monster heads. There is one head that is reptilian but you can't really make a decent looking dragon with it, especially since you can't add horns and such.

 

Also, add a "sarashi" texture to the "bandeau" chest option?

 

A Tetsubo option in maces and titan weapons. There is one spiked squarish club but it's not really the same.

[Growth and Shrink powers.]

I seem to recall one of the AMA sessions by the original Devs where they mention considering size changing powers, but the sheer amount of geometry based map and animation adjustments was deemed too big a headache to deal with.

[Grass Flickering]

Alternately, set the rotation angle snap to disabled and very slightly tilt some of the grass panels.

[If you're in a taskforce, and you run into an AV you cannot damage enough...]

For next time, mail yourself a supply of consumables ahead of time. You can access your mail from anywhere.

[I hate Male Face 1]

Honestly, I'd love to see all the OG faces get an overhaul. They're visibly lower resolution than the newer ones added in later updates. But I'm guessing this would be a very low priority for the Dev team.

[Costume Suggestions]

Chestwrap texture option for the Bandeau top? And maybe detailed versions of all the patterns, like Excess has Excess Plus?

[Help - items moving around]

Quote

I tried a few times to build a cityscape at the bottom of a plot. I gave up because every time it reloaded it looked like a minor earthquake had occurred.

 

[Base Request Items]

Also, Teleport Beacons for Echo: Atlas Park, Echo: Faultline, and Echo: Rikti Crash Site, please.
