To expand upon this, many, if not all, of the weapon-based sets do have more organic or even magi-tech-looking models to choose from, so you're not pigeon-holed into a particular look. Even if they were, however, it is far easier to handwave a gun being magic than a set with obvious magic-themed naming, runes/glyphs/sigils you cannot opt out of, and/or weapon models that you cannot change...

Agreed - I'm not as concerned about the immediate inheritors of said estate, but rather 1 or 2 generations after, where those people may not have ever personally known the deceased and/or don't care to preserve/respect their intentions when it comes to how to make money off the estate or any IPs it possesses...

How is "a magic blast set" or a "magic 'anything' set", anything other than "boxed into an origin"?

Request Melee Epic pool powers for Mastermind
biostem replied to boss's topic in Suggestions & Feedback
While not against the idea per se, the devs have stated a dislike for the "either-or" kind of option like we see in sentinel's super reflexes, so I don't see this happening, which is why a new APP with a melee focus could work, instead... -
Maybe it was to go along with "bottomless margarita night"...

Incnetive for folks to start TFs or SFs
biostem replied to DrRocket's topic in Suggestions & Feedback
OK, so I start a TF solo, then go do some street sweeping or something. Heck, if this system picked up being in an AE or flashback via Ouro as "Being in a Task/Strikeforce", then it'd be even more exploitable... -
To be honest, I don't really care about the "take a knee" animation; It's the relatively long recharge time for relatively little usefulness, for powers like triage beacon. Maybe change it to a HoT and/or have it also provide some recovery. Additionally, while shield drone does provide slightly more defense than dispersion bubble, the pet is quite fragile and has a hard time keeping up with you. It could stand to be made a little tougher, or perhaps have it knock down or stun enemies that are near to it when it explodes.
-
You could also just go with invulnerability, using any "minimal FX" options that might be available, then let your character's costume reflect any special changes or alterations to their physiology that are providing the protection...

Don't fret - there will always be future opportunities to F-things up, and in even grander ways!

Request Melee Epic pool powers for Mastermind
biostem replied to boss's topic in Suggestions & Feedback
Here's a very quick and dirty idea: Take Sentinel Ninja Tool Mastery and slightly tweak it: 1. Ninja Agility: Toggle, +DEF vs Ranged, Melee, AoE. 2. Sting of the Wasp 3. Paralyzing Blade - Take Ninja Blade's Assassin Strike power, (the quick version), have it deal a very minor amount of initial lethal damage, then some toxic DoT + a hold effect. 4. The Lotus Drops 5. Kuji-In Rin, (lower status protection values than other versions of this click power, but still perm-able). -
Request Melee Epic pool powers for Mastermind
biostem replied to boss's topic in Suggestions & Feedback
It'd be really interesting to go all-in on this idea - give them a toggle or perm-able click status protection toggle and some shields, while you're at it! If we're not going to get the oft-suggested "Commander AT", then something like this could be quite novel... -
For me, the reason to choose any AT, (besides their obvious connection to what powers they have access to), is what *I* want to focus on. To that end, I've been leveling up a marine/dark defender, in order to maximize the buff/debuff values, while also giving me a few solid direct attacks to fall back on. The highest values for other such powers, like the leadership ones, is a nice boon as well!
-
It's also, in my experience, no worse than SB or ID, which are far more "spammable"...

Hide your cat/schoolgirls!

I mean, using someone's likeness without them or their estate's permission definitely seems wrong to me. That being said, I could even see that extending to only the person themselves, as you may get situations where the current owner/holder of said estate may hold positions ideologically opposed to the deceased person, and could use their likeness to have them endorse things they wouldn't while they were alive...

Request: Weapon Animations for Ranged Power Sets
biostem replied to keyguardactive's topic in Suggestions & Feedback
IMHO, a lot comes down to how you perceive the purpose of powersets - what is AR or DP without their actual weapons? When we distill what is being asked for, down to it's most fundamental component, is what you want a blast set that deals lethal damage? What is one actually asking for, when they say they want "AR without the AR"? -
A simple mini-arc could center around Council or 5th Column staging recruitment drives around the Universities, (this initial group wouldn't be targetable, using the excuse that technically they're just petitioning/holding a rally), and heroes trying to find evidence of actual direct wrongdoing, so they can actually take them down. As a bonus, allow vigilantes to just attack them outright, but then having to face repercussions from it technically being an extra-legal attack - maybe that vigilante has to face some ambushes or perhaps even avoid some hostile PPD. A rogue could instead try to tempt the college kids with something "better" or "more fun" than would be had by falling in with some fascists. Conversely, the villain version could have Arachnos doing the petitioning/holding the rally, and our characters simply choosing to aid them in recruiting or dissuading students, (again with relevant repercussions).

Don't universities usually start, at least in the US, in August, though? AFAIK, it's generally grade-schools that start back up in September...

Request: Weapon Animations for Ranged Power Sets
biostem replied to keyguardactive's topic in Suggestions & Feedback
I'd just love some "hard-light-construct" weapon models! -
I got kind of burned out on all the high fantasy MMOs that came out around the time CoH came out, and it was nice to be able to look however I wanted, instead of having to look like whatever my gear dictated. Besides that, CoH is very solo-friendly for an MMO, so I can play at weird hours and still make at least some progress if I can't find a team...

This just demonstrates your lack of imagination; Not only could/does technology currently facilitate the growth of plants IRL, but in a world of AI and nanotech, it isn't much of a stretch to imagine some sort of device that spontaneously generates plants and/or uses some sort of existing plant stock to rapidly cause them to grow and in a specific direction/location and with specific properties...

I have to wonder, when I see suggestions like this, what the OP envisions their proposed set would look like; In this case, when @Solok says "Magic", do they mean something like a stereotypical D&D mage, with a magic missile, fireball, lightning bolt, and other such signature abilities. or are they picturing some kind of vague blasts with runes, pictograms, or other such "magical symbols" floating about...

This feels like a trap. Is this a set-up? Are we being punk'd?

Could it be that some have prompt for tp on?
