I'd like a mind control type of enemy for blue side where you have to take out the Lt. or boss to undo their control over the minions i.e the mind controlled Civilians. I don't think it could be a proper enemy group but it might be fun for an event.

One of the things I enjoy most about gaming as a culture is the number of self-made challenge modes people make for the games they like. It could be things like speed running, Iron-man runs, or more esoteric things like Nuzlok runs in a Pokemon game. What sort of challenges do you think could be done in CoH? Ironman runs are certainly possible. I would say that two versions of this are possible. In either version going to the hospital is an instant fail. In the first version any time you die thats the end. The other is more forgiving allowing for Rezs from inspirations, powers, or team mates.

I wanted to be a comedy-bot but I didn't have the bits... Don't blame me! I use Linux.

MMOs have always interested me but the big problem is that many of them have a "We want to be WoW" problem and WoW is becoming an ever bigger and bigger mess. Also there is very little in the way of Super Hero games that aren't based off an existing IP. City of Heroes/ Villians lets me create what I want and lets it be its own thing instead of aping Marvel or DC. Also its just interesting. Could it use some polish? Yes and a whole lot of it. But and the end of the day, I am back where I want to be.

In regard to this, I would also say I would change how VEATs respec since it kind of ruins the progression of the class to just start over mid leveling

Would they be an off-shoot of the council or perhaps a reaction to them?

Personally I would like a Court of Owls-like group. For those unfamiliar with them they are kind of a secret society made up of wealthy families that tried to control Gotham in the Batman comics. So this group which I am going to call The Regents are made up of the old money families of Paragon that are trying to take control of the city in a more direct way in the aftermath of Statesman's death. They are aided by hired mercenaries and members of the families who have dabbled in occultism in a bid to seize power 1. I think this would be a mid range group 25-39. 2. I think they would be primarily natural in origin with the minions and some lieutenants being the mercenaries hired by the Regents. Magic would come in through the lieutenants and bosses as the Regents themselves take on occult artifacts to bolster the hired muscle. 3. Their MO would be clandestine strikes at various figures they feel would threaten their plans. Since they view Paragon as rightfully theirs they would be an anti-Hero group based in the city. Though missions in the Rouge Isles could certainly feature their attempts to gain power to take back with them. 4. Independence Port and Founder's Falls are good spots for them.

If you could develop an enemy group, what would it look like? 1. What is the Level range? 2. What kind of origin/ concept are they based around? Are they a gang, paramilitary group, cult, monster horde? 3. What's their MO? Are they an enemy group for Villains, Heroes or both? 4. What zones would they go in? Also if the inspiration takes you feel free to describe what their minion, lieutenant, and bosses would be.

So I have been interested in the Dual Pistols powerset for a while now, does anyone have a good recommendation for what would be a good secondary set if I was running a Blaster? Or is it better with a different AT?

What about Praetorian content?

I recently rolled a Psi Melee, Psi Armor Stalker

Essentially what I would like is an option in character creation to take a crossbow in stead of a traditional bow and arrow when making a character with an archery power. A crossbow model already exists with the Warriors and Circle of Thorns.

I like this idea. Another take on it would be a "Time Traveler" power. Like Tier 1 could be Musketeers, Tier 2 could be gladiators, Tier 3 could be a dude in power armor.

So the purpose of this is pure speculation and wishing. In an ideal world what kind of Mastermind pets would you like to have added to the game? What would be the secondary attack?

Sometimes you just got to flex on the groundlings

With the new patch, I had an idea for a Battle Axe/ Psychic Armor Brute: Piece of Mind. I don't intend to claim it if anyone likes it!

Perhaps its a philosophical thing? They considered themselves strong enough on their own to invade the planet before being repulsed by Earth's heroes.

One group that should get some updates for Level 50 is the Lost given that they are part of the Ritiki's infiltration of Paragon

I will admit the second paragraph made me tear up a bit.

The only temp powers I really use are the jetpacks since I usually don't take flight as a power pool.

Out of curiosity why?

You make some good points here and I will admit your knowledge of comic books is better than mine.

Honestly even Lord Recluse doesn't care about the RIPD, he uses them as the bare minimum to keep the peace and maybe serve as a test for up and coming villians. If he wants something done he will get Arachnos troopers to do it. If there is an upgrade to the RIPD it would be Arachnos troopers being sent in as a cover for something.

Or as another talking point, what about Silver age or Bronze age?

Awhile back I posted a thread asking people what they would do to bring CoH to the modern day. I wanted to go the opposite direction and see what people thought about a Golden Age version of Paragon set in the 1930's. If so what would you like to see in terms of powers, villian groups, etc.?
