  1. And the level cap was 40.
  2. But there are plenty of other zones that don't have their own events or GMs, so why not give them some love?
  3. My understanding is that elements of the movie would have been setup in the cancelled Batgirl and Supergirl films, but I wouldn't be surprised if the plot was drastically altered to account for that and for Gunn taking over...
  4. Using existing assets, how about we port *just* the gunslinger cape, (just the back part, minus the side bows and front apron), the tech knight cape, and the Widow cape, (if I'm remembering the part name correctly), as either tail options or cape options. Also, can we get versions of the steampunk belts without the clocks?
  5. I remember running around in beta as my rad/rad defender, basically spamming neutrino bolt, x-ray beam, and radiant aura, with a rikti ship hanging over AP. When the game did go live, I rolled a dm/regen scrapper - all I basically did was street sweep, and I was nigh-unkillable w/ IH as a toggle. I took a break from the game around 2009, but I also have fond memories of playing an ice/stone tanker. I vaguely recall participating in the old mothership raid with that character, (and the naked Rikti!) Besides that, I came back around 2010 or 2011 when the game went F2P, and recall reading which perks were best to spend the tokens on from the time I had paid for sub time previously.
  6. Maybe just do a "thin feet" option, and treat it as a boot/tights instead of showing skin?
  7. Something like this would better fit Dark Astoria, IMO.
  8. Something like "targetcustomnext alive oil", I'd surmise...
  9. The problem is, liking an idea does not address its feasibility to whether its implementation would fit into the development schedule or resources available. Further, sometimes something being popular is not in the best interest of the game, so that would have to be considered as well...
  10. I think sorcery is your only option, unless you want to rely on one of the origin powers, like taser or apprentice bauble.
  11. If you are able to rely on your teammates to cover your butt in this way, more power to you! I prefer that extra bit of "insurance"...
  12. The elemental order pants actually have metallic trim. You'd have to forego the skirt, but you can kind of work around it, (see below): sidera1.costume sidera2.costume
  13. Would could be interesting is if "team teleport" allowed you to drop a teleport gate at one location and a teleport beacon at another, (or 2 gates), and allowed free travel between those to locations to you and your allies. Another option would be to have the power place a beacon, then it switches to a power that recalls you and your team to that beacon. Yet another idea would be to remove it and add an attack power - basically a single target power that teleports you to a targeted enemy and has you deliver a punch, dealing some smashing and energy damage or something. Still another idea could be where you "warp space" in a small area around yourself, acting sort of like a combination of inertial reduction and speed boost for you and your allies, thereby granting increased jump height and movement speed.
  14. I look at it a bit differently - now my [insert character lacking a self-heal here] can devote those inspiration slots to more "fun" ones, instead of greens, and the reliability/ready availability of aid self means I don't have to ponder whether using an insp to top-off my HP would be a waste or not. Of course, a lot depends upon the build in question, and whether they have enough defense or other resources available to use it mid-combat, (though you do tend to notice DoTs a lot more with this approach).
  15. Maybe ask for assistance in the help & support section, which can be found here?
  16. As a very quick & dirty example, consider the below: "Empathic Will" 1. Heal Aura 2. Mind Over Body 3. Heal Other 4. Indomitable Will 5. Resurrect 6. Restoring Aura - A PBAoE toggle which costs no end, and provides some bonus to recovery to all in range 7. Heightened Awareness - A PBAoE toggle which provides some defense and extra perception to all in range 8. Rallying Cry - A click power which provides status protection, a damage boost, and a tohit buff to all allies in range 9. Strength of Will
  17. I think "Cleric" is too specific. I get wanting a melee support AT, but I would go about it a bit differently. I like combining the armor with the buffs/heals, but I would keep the powers a little more separated. For instance, drop the damage or taunt auras from the armors, and replace them with appropriate heal or buff powers.
  18. Agreed. I'll take a good player behind a "bad AT" over a bad player behind a "good AT", any day!
  19. The game already has some ability to detect if you're flying or jumping, so I wonder how difficult it would be to add a category of "travel power auras", which could satisfy many such desires. A large percent of players take some form of travel power. What this would do is give everybody another free power pick. It may not sound like a lot, but people already tweak their builds to the Nth degree, trying to fit in everything they want. Having to make such sacrifices and finding just the right balance is one of the few really weighty things left in CoH, please don't diminish it further! If the jetpack looked like some arcane artifact or something similarly mystical, why not? Heck, I'm sure some clever mage could use an existing jetpack and modify the fuel source to be some magical crystal or a lesser fire elemental. Hard light constructs! They're not just from power rings anymore!
  20. Here's one I put together, for your consideration: ME concept1.costume
  21. OK, here's a concept I came up with, based upon your original screenshot and your other specifications: pack concept1.costume
  22. I read proposals like this, and what it sounds like to me is "I want a travel power, but I don't want to use up a power pick or pool selection in taking one". There are already ways of getting modes of travel without using up a power pick - park your character in Firebase Zulu, when not playing them, for instance...
  23. It'd be cool, (assuming you weren't directly referring to the movie others mentioned), if said "Bicentennial Man" was some sort of animated bronze statue from the era, in which case an invuln/ss tanker would work...
  24. I wanted to try something akin to a war mace stalker, but since that's not possible, I rolled up a war mace/ninjitsu scrapper. It's a fairly interesting pairing. Not the highest performer by any means, but you get some neat tools and it has a bit of a different feel than other scrappers I have played. EDIT: I do have a Bane Spider VEAT, but it's not quite the feel I wanted, either...
  25. Are you locked-in on any particular aspects of the pic you posted? Is more clothing out of the question? Are the veins and stuff supposed to depict injuries/scars, or just general grime? I'll take a stab at it when I get home later...
