[It is 2019: How would you update the city?]

Ok I did the same thing with the rationalization that old folks (like my mom) cant use the walker and phone at the same time (like my mom).  It took me til just now to read your post and realize maybe the poster wasnt refering to the aging CoH player base lol

Yes, should be pedestrians 😉

[It is 2019: How would you update the city?]

Yes, a few spontaneous ideas I got (both good and bad stuff):

Coffee shops, where you can enter, and get missions from a contact working with laptop.
Yoga studios, preferable with some ashtanga yoga poses as emotes added.
Hospitals crowded with patients and staff.

Student protests at campus, demanding trigger warnings and safe spaces for eating laundry detergents etc.

Some walkers glued to smartphones.

Protesting neighbors near constructions (with perhaps a zone event to stir up the protest).
Antivax protests.

Luddites protesting 5G.

[Customizable NPCs in Hero Bases.]

If technically feasible, I'd totally love it. Would have alts and staff hanging around.

[A Question from The Homecoming Team]

A solid financial model for covering server costs, development, support and profit, preferable by subscriptions.

I'd personally be fine with $15 per month or more, with options to buy and gift non-recurring day, week or month passes for casual players.

Micro transactions are fine for premium costumes, emotes and other stuff that don't give the player a direct advantage.
A guarantee to avoid "sun setting", and a fallback plan to how the game can live on in case of financial issues, loss of key persons etc.

More alternative animations in power customization.

Two yoga-based powersets, one for melee and one for support.

A "huge female" or other way to make bigger and more muscular female toons.

More enemies that might require an adapted strategy, like sappers.

Allow all powersets and pool powers with customizations in Mission Architect.

Easy in-game share of deeds in social media (like Champions Online).
Allow all RGB colors in costume creator.
Upgrade old "body paint" textures to look like clothing.

[Lock focus on selected item]

Can I lock focus on selected item in some way? When I attempt to make a precise placement or rotation, some random object in background gets selected all the time.

[Make Rest automatic while out of combat]

No, leave Rest as it is. A little downtime to recover betimes is a part that I expect of the gaming flow. And getting out of combat, resting and going back to fight is sometimes needed for low level characters.

It's one of the things that didn't felt right in Champions Online, that getting out of combat was like the fight never occurred.

 

[Barf Emote]

An upset stomach is belly fat crying 🙂 I'm up for having the EMOTE_VOMIT_TWO animation as an emote.
Would also be awesome with a Change to Vomit proc.

[Make Serum not a joke]

Yes, this needs to be tuned.

Suggestions: raise effect from one to two minutes, remove crash and half the recharge time.

 

[After what I learned today I'll say this:this game didn't die without reasons]

Nothing is wasted. Just do a respec and save everything that you don't want on your MM for your other toons.

[Suggestion: Allow alts to 'hang out' in SG base]

I like the idea. They don't have to be actively moving around or something, just do an emote/mov of your choice.

[What's one thing you love in CoH that most others seem to hate?]

Sappers, Knives of Artemis and other enemies that makes me have to adjust my strategy.

Powers that makes enemies vomit.

AE arcs with good story but low rewards.

Giving pets "battle orders", i.e. having binds with rotating text in local (not team, broadcast, league etc) when designating a target.
