The thing is, if it's a suggestion about a zone, shouldn't it be in the suggestions section? If it's a general discussion about a zone, there's the general section for that. What, specifically, would you envision being discussed in a Zones subsection that wouldn't better fit in any of the existing areas?

If you're talking about having an icon that, when clicked, activates a power and changes your costume, then yes you can. Try something like this: /macro Cos2 "powexecname fly$$cc 1" The above will create an icon labeled "Co2", which changes to the costume in your second slot, (your first costume is slot 0), then toggles the fly power. Just be aware that there is a roughly 15 second cooldown before you can switch costumes, so you can't really have a character fire off each attack in a chain with a different costume on...

They could give them a different aura or something, like the incarnate lore abilities, but the cat is already out of the bag with patron pool pets, seeing as you can fight arachnos...

Well, AFAIK, the issue isn't which character models that can or cannot be used, but how the powers are their existing pet models are connected/coded. Is it just a call to a character model in the game files, or is each pets' appearance one-and-the-same with the power that summons them then upgrades them? That being said, bots and other non-humanoid minions would probably be more difficult, since they have powers that emanate from things like the assault bot's shoulder missile launchers...

Can they award a badge for logging out at hyper-specific locations, like on the Atlas globe? That seems like more appropriate criteria...

Can you elaborate upon what kind of effect(s) this set would have? I could kind of see it having a power or 2 that applies a delayed effect on enemies, which slows them and reduces and healing they receive, and an "uncontrolled accelerated" one which causes them to miss more often, (tohit debuff), and perhaps it converts any DoTs you apply from your time blasts into burst damage, (this second part would be more difficult to implement, probably requiring special coding of all the time blast powers, but would be very cool).

How about "Atlas Hugged"?
-
I rarely care what is "FOTM", but instead focus on powerset combinations that I would find fun or that fit a concept I had in mind. This varies for me; Some characters I don't feel can be fully realized until they are 50 with incarnates & IOs, others once certain milestones are met. I too, have many alts, yet I find myself returning to the same handful of characters time and again. I think a lot has to do with how certain AT and powerset combinations mesh better than others, with a further factor being positive (or negative) experiences you may have had in the past with said character(s).

This has been a huge and common request. My understanding is it requires a lot of work, and the HC devs don't want to just kludge something together. that being said, I think Rebirth has an interesting implementation, where you can load saved costume files into/onto your pets...

New Powerset: Quick (or something speedster themed)
biostem replied to Gloomfall's topic in Suggestions & Feedback
The thing is, I wouldn't want just a copy-paste of the powers. What if this set's schtick was that many of the powers had charges, and didn't enter cooldown until you exhausted them - so you could fire off 3 flurries in rapid succession or something... -
Does Sabine not seem old enough, though? If she was supposed to be a teen (at the youngest) in rebels, which was like 5 years before the OT, and this is about 5 years after RotJ, then I guess a late 20-something could work, (or the actress just looks young in general). I hope we see Hera's son. He should be like 10-12 years old now, right? I have to assume the big reveal, besides Thrawn, will be Ezra, though...

Better Than Expected Flicks...?
biostem replied to ThaOGDreamWeaver's topic in Comic, Hero & Villain Culture
Does it have to be a stand-alone movie? I recently finished the first season of an anime "Campfire Cooking In Another World", and it was quite entertaining, (although the main character being a bit of a coward got grating at times). Picture this: You're a "regular guy" from our modern world, sucked into a high-fantasy medieval world. Usually you'd be given cool powers, but instead you have an "online market". You're dismissed as other "potential heroes" were also summoned, and while cooking for an adventuring party one day, an uber-powerful magical Fenris wolf is drawn by the smell of the food, and forms a contract with you in exchange for continuing to cook for them... adventure ensues! -
Alter coloring options for Trip Mine and Time Bomb
biostem replied to srmalloy's topic in Suggestions & Feedback
It'd be cool if the mine model could take the tint as well... -
I'm not too read-up on Blue Beetle. My only gripe is I wish we could jump to a hero story "in progress" as it were, already. Let one be a fully-realized and competent hero at the onset, and we can see some stuff of their origins in flashbacks or stuff, though only if well integrated into the story, and not contrived...

New Powerset: Quick (or something speedster themed)
biostem replied to Gloomfall's topic in Suggestions & Feedback
It could, though. Incorporate the teleport attack from burst of speed, a flash-step-like attack as seen in vorpal judgement, a flurry-like attack, and others to flesh it out, and it could be awesome. There's even an old martial arts multi-kick attack, IIRC, which if sped up, could work nicely for this set. -
A lot depends upon what mythology you're going with. I think it was "Legends" where a Sith had to "bleed" a Kaiber crystal to turn it red, but ever since newer media, you have the various Inquisitors and such. Regardless, Sidius clearly had multiple apprentices, (Dooku/Tyranus, Maul, etc), and they also had others with them, Asaj Ventress, Savage Oppress, etc), so I don;t think rule-following is high up on any darksider's list of priorities...

The Flash is not an electric character, though. The lightning and electricity are references to how he's fast, not that he shocks people. Yes, he utilizes built up static electricity in a few circumstances, but what you pointed to is more an artistic depiction of the speed force. The Flash has also ignited things via friction. Does that make fire melee appropriate for him? He's kicked up whirlwinds and tornadoes by rapidly moving his hands and feet - does that make him some sort of wind melee character? Those are all secondary effects or depictions of his true superpower - speed. -
New Powerset: Quick (or something speedster themed)
biostem replied to Gloomfall's topic in Suggestions & Feedback
You are missing the point. It's that you can't really get a full set that depicts an ICONIC speedster. You could RP any character you wanted from Issue 0, but there are woefully fewer powerset that one can use to realize the multitude of concepts, including fairly iconic ones as depicted on comics... -
Was that Sabine I saw in the trailer? And Hera! And the old Lightsaber-crafting droid! I hope hope hope they don't turn Thrawn into a goof or a villain-of-the-week...

New Powerset: Quick (or something speedster themed)
biostem replied to Gloomfall's topic in Suggestions & Feedback
You realize the CoH is a game heavily inspired by/based upon, comic book portrayals, yes? How characters in comics are depicted is very much intrinsic to how new powersets should be implemented. Things like the many-fists punch or flash-steps are iconic speedster powers... -

biostem replied to Gloomfall's topic in Suggestions & Feedback
Generally it's because that is *not* how the Flash, Quicksilver, or the like, are portrayed in the comics... -
Well, there's an intended level range to each hazard zone - go there when appropriate, and it'll be the same scary challenge that you remember it being. I can get behind some sort of hazard zone contact that exemplars you to that that zone's max level. Maybe just place an appropriate instance of the Ouroboros time stone thingy in-zone and have it point you to a relevant contact...

What is your thought process behind this suggestion, though? Do you feel that a fully realized character should still face a threat against these lower level groups? Is it to take advantage of the large groups for better XP? What is the goal with your suggestion or the hole/problem you are trying to address?
