Strongarm

Got the name Strongarm for a tech-themed NRG/Bio scrapper

Great, so we'll need a "Holy Moley Affinity" support set in addition to an Angels summoning.

Ideally if NPCs could occasionally spawn in different places at different times, it would both make the dance floor seem more dynamic and also have some of those potentially "good RP spots" occasionally be free to anyone who wants them while other times they'll just have to wait.

I'd like a non-mini AE Technician pet to follow me around, like they're taking notes and recording data for my upcoming starring role in an AE arc. Whenever it stops, it should randomly go into a clipboard or smartphone texting emote.

Hitstop sounds awful. The point of the titan weapons is that they are big, heavy weapons that build momentum as you swing them around. If it stopped when it hits, momentum gone. And I'm not buying into the idea that the hitstop as proposed would show more oomph to the impact. I think a better case could be made for having an option to cause your screen to shake slightly on a successful hit, like the kind of shake that occurs with the seimic movement aura.

Different power pools, ancillaries, and even slotting can make it feel different, not to mention power customization change colors, animations, costumes, and weapons.

Don't forget arsenal/arsenal dominators.

The separation of terminology is entirely my observation of it. I consider zone events to be the ones limited to specific zones. If it's something that can happen anywhere, then it's less of a zone event and more of an event that happens in various zones.....or a multi-zone event.

I consider the various invasion events to be more multi-zone events since they can occur anywhere. Zone events are the smaller occurrences like the burning buildings in Steel Canyon, the Supa-Trolls in Skyway City, and giant monster appearance that are typically relegated to one zone like Babbage in Boomtown (except when summoned by the Synapse TF), Lusca in IP, Jurassik in Crey's Folly, etc I don't think any of the zones events are wasted but I do think we need more of them, and maybe spread some of the smaller ones out to other zones. Fires should happen in more places than Steel Canyon, but have different enemy groups behind them. Zombie apocalypse is fun, but maybe occasional smaller zombie uprisings in zones that have graveyards, like Striga, Dark Astoria, and Sharkhead.

Heroes never die. Except when they do. No one ever stays dead in comics. True, but it's not Statesman's time to come back. He should wait until City of Heroes 2: City Harder.

Magic

What about an illusion affinity set for defenders, corruptors, controllers, and masterminds? Use visuals and some animations from the illusion set to add a mix of buff and debuff effects on foes.

Are there slash commands for the hide features so that you can activate specific things or everything at once without having to pull up the hide box and check off what you want to hide from? Would be nice to have Hide and Unhide macros where as soon as I log in I can click and immediately be hidden.

Not sure about a force blast because yeah, energy blast.....but force control could be a thing. Mini force bubbles holding targets immobilized like how Atomic Manipulation's electron shackles grab you by the feet. And force field holds to trap a foe, but not the kind that completely insulate the target from attacks.....think Invisible Woman putting a force field over just an enemy's head to cut off their oxygen, but in this you're maybe adding bubbles to their hands and feet to hold them immobile. A rapidly expanding force bubble that can stun everyone in the target area. But what sets it apart from other control sets and what kind of pet does it get? This would be a perfect place to add another use of the new Telekinesis mob gathering effect as you use your control over the force to surround foes and drag them toward each other in one spot. I'll probably get all thumbs down for this, but I think thematically there should also be a mass KB power also....or maybe KD. Yeah, just spitballing here, but something like Bonfire's continuous knockback in an area the force controller puts a bubble over an area that keeps knocking foes down until they can either escape or until the duration wears out. Maybe shorten the duration compared to Bonfire since that can throw enemies clear letting them act again where as being knocked down over and over in one spot could get frustrating when NPCs are introduced and start doing that to players. No pet. Most sets have a pet power and a couple have two powers, while Mind Control gets by with none. Because it's still force fields and force fields protect, maybe replace the pet with a defense buffing power that scales lower than the standard force field buffs but can stack with it, so if you have a Force/Force controller, there will be a synergy bonus but if you have a Force/? dominator, you can still get some defense out of it.

I'd love to have some other types of Judgement powers. If we can summon mechs and other tech stuff with lore, then calling in a magical air strike doesn't seem all that unusual

I have no idea as I haven't fully explored all the content that could potentially apply but I do like the open discussion of it 👍

Also, don't know how accurate this is, but this claims there are a couple names for the Native American Thunderbird, including Nuu-chah-nulth and Kw-Uhnx-Wa. Hope that helps

What about Bird of Thunder?

That isn't the same pose. That has arms crossed over the chest and has a certain impatient look to it. What's in the character creator has the weapons out and displayed in front of the character, closer to head level.

I think this dancers on the floor idea has merit. Could we also get a few more NPCs wandering around inside City Hall, and maybe some people in the waiting room of the hospitals? Especially the hospitals.....they are entirely too empty for a city with as much villainous activity as we have.

I wouldn't be against it but I'd rather see Head -> Detail 1 and 2 options split into Detail 1a, Detail 1b, and Detail 2a, Detail 2b so we could have characters with horns and sunglasses, mustaches and cigars, and numerous other combinations that currently cannot be had. I'd also like to see auras split again allowing for two distinct auras and then a travel aura. Maybe if we got those, I could get behind putting work into splitting the arms/torso and legs into separate things. I think for how to accomplish it, it would probably have to be done similar to how the robot arms are accomplished currently with an entirely separate upper body set up with arm(s) set up independently but not limited to primarily robotic options like we currently have. Then the lower body would have to be done similar with separate choices for pelvis and each leg.

Reasons could include but are not limited to: current global may no longer apply or fit the player (such as someone who was married and started playing with a spouse but wants to move away from that after a messy divorce) chose poorly when changing the first time and either misspelled or picked something that has unfortunate connotations some people are never satisfied and get stuck picking something at random at first then think of something more cool/appropriate later on.....and again and again, etc. hiding from someone stalking them account has been passed on to someone else (family member or whatever) who wishes not to be associated with the original player "I didn't pick that. Gremlins must have done it." player has griefed others in the past and wants a fresh start player has utterly humiliated themself publicly and wants to distance themselves from that player was drunk/on drugs/not themselves when they used their one global name change and now regrets what they picked someone hacked their account and used their one global name change and now they're stuck with it some new idea has emerged in the zeitgeist and the player wants to lean into it by changing their global to reflect their interest or association peanut butter jelly time Rule 34 they used their first global name change without realizing that there would never be another opportunity to change it and didn't think their choice through well enough they used their first global name change to pick something funny (or they thought was funny) but turned out to not be as funny as they thought they used their first global name change and entered something dumb on a dare complete personality shift and the person no longer identifies as who they once were parents never set boundaries and they expect everything to be handed to them whenever they want it reality has been altered and ... reasons or something ... and now, please let me change it back alien mind control influenced original choice player has a doctor's note giving permission to change it again player is going into Federal witness protection and needs to hide all traces of their former identity because

Yes, we need that as an emote. Doesn't even matter if a character has no guns; just being able to stand with arms crossed in front of you like that would be cool. I think the trick of executing this as an emote, however, is having it draw your weapons (if any) and pose like this with them out. Emotes and powers don't traditionally play nice together.
