I would start adding dirt and graffiti to the buildings in Perez Park, and put trash blowing around everywhere. The place is a hazard zone, so no one is going in to do basic clean up, and I just don't see the gangs that hang out there as the type to clean up after themselves.

A few temps are nice, but I've seen people go nuts with trying to collect every temp available.

The problem I have with Skulls or any other group --thugs or otherwise-- appear in the end game is a lack of progression. Skull content fades in the early levels, and there are no mid- to high-level Skulls, but then there's level 40 to 50 Skulls in Kallisti Wharf? How did that happen? And where were they hiding?

Brilliant You people come up with the best names and then really deliver with the costumes

I would argue that, in true comic book fashion, Paragon City would remain largely static 21 years later. New construction is slowed by the constant need to rebuild due to giant monster, alien invasion, zombies crawling out of the ground, and general supervillain activity, not to mention heroes dropping nukes and incarnate judgement level bombshells all over the streets. For as much advanced tech there is out there in the world, people continue using old tech because it still works and is cheaper than upgrading until it becomes necessary to do so. One might expect fashion to change over a couple decades, but I'm still wearing the same kind of things for the past couple decades so I don't see much need to change what the civilian populace looks like. Seriously, the only thing that stands out as obsolete in Paragon City are the occasional payphones and lack of changes of movie posters where theaters exist. I'd love to see some updates for those.

I would love to have the syringe animation from Experimentation pool as an alternative to the tricorder. Let medicine LOOK like medical stuff, not a Star Trek ripoff.

We need that rubber ducky on the shoulder options. Also the Null the Gull seagull model. a big spider from the vanity pets would be fun. For that matter, so would the buff pets in the START vendor.....little fairy sitting on your shoulder, the red or blue wisp kind of hovering just over your shoulder, and even the drone pet just hovering there. More ideas: swarm of bees like what the DE summon, again hovering just above your shoulder, and the other DE pets like cairns and stuff could be added like shoulder pets but are more just decorative extras. You know would look really creepy? A pair of glowing eyes taken from the auras but make them smaller and hovering above your shoulder like you've got an invisible pet. Hey, fun option: invisible pet that shows no discernable change but it's still a separate option.

I don't care about slotting the temp powers, I just wish we could get some customization on the temp powers. Let me choose to have a blue, yellow, purple, green or whatever other color rocket board to stand out from the rest or, at least, color coordinate with my costume. Same with the void skiff. Looks like an energy disk, which is pretty rad unless you're playing an energy blaster with blue energy beams or red energy melee that don't match the orange energy signature of the void skiff. Flying carpet? Great......one carpet design for everyone? Meh. Let us switch the pattern, or at the very least alter a color or two in the existing pattern. Jetpacks? One color for the rocket thrust and one color for a non-neutral component of the jetpack. Like the raptor pack could remain primarily silver/white and the red trim could be colorable. Same with the longbow jetpacks; neutral color remains static and let us change the red part and the thrusters. If we're going to be stuck with the visuals of jetpacks, at least let us personalize them.

I like the alternating between whispers and demonic screaming. Nice touch.

Is this build a cottage power coming in the next update, or will we have to wait til page 3?

I loved the old telekinesis and repelling foes across the room into a corner and out of range for their attacks to hit me.

The problem with homogenization is that two blast powers don't function the same even if they're the same level/tier within an archetype. Dark Blast grants a -ToHit penalty to the target in addition to damage. Is that worth the same as a Neutrino Bolt's -DEF? Flares doesn't even have a secondary effect, and others may animate and/or recharge faster. It's a big, complicated, messy formula to determine what balances with other similar things. Personally, I like it when sets have different effects and don't map out identically but with swapped damage types. Lots of blast sets get Aim, but no Aim in Assault Rifle and I'm okay with it. Ice Blast doesn't have a proper snipe attack, and it does just fine. No no no.....no homogenization. Let there be differences between similar sets and make the effort to find balance despite them performing differently.

Dirty, crunchy hippie people. Someone get me my flamethrower.

She'll knock out your lawyers in court or out.

I have a Jawbreaker.

This is an excellent question. Follow up question: How can I get multiple attacks on queue?

Now I'm thinking......what if I put the invention crafting table inside a stove? It could be like I'm brewing up science in the kitchen.

Finger food?

Some ideas to differentiate Ki/Chi Mastery from Energy Mastery: 1. Instead of Focused Accuracy of energy mastery, Ki Mastery could us Aim for a short spike of +ToHit and +Dmg or maybe instead the energy manipulation power of Power Boost that greatly boosts the secondary effects of your powers. It would make your stuns more stunning, you KBs more knockbacky, and so on as you focus your ki into the strike for more power even if there isn't more damage or accuracy. 2. Ditch the Laser Beam Eyes and Energy Torrent attacks and replace with more martial themed animation attacks like maybe kinetic melee's Focused Burst animation with a different kind of energy output effect instead of Laser Beam Eyes, and same for Repulsing Torrent in place of regular Torrent. 3. Skip the Conserve Power/Superior Conditioning endurance mod power and give the set a tier 1 mez power, like most of the melee ancillaries have... I would recommend a fear effect to keep with the martial arts master theme. 4. Go with something similar to Physical Perfection but different....Psionic Mastery has Harmonic Mind that gives you +Recovery and +End Discount instead of +Regen and +Recovery. Maybe borrow its +End Discount and add a +MaxHP and call it something like Peak Performance.

And it needs volume control so that we can make people listen to it. Seriously, though, multiple boomboxes spawned in one area could become an annoyance, so maybe make it a recharge power instead of a toggle. And the boombox despawns if the person who summoned it moves more than 10 or 20 feet away (because someone swiped it when you weren't looking) and/or if another boombox gets summoned in close proximity like how Ouro portals will despawn existing portals if set too close. Don't know why they did that to the O-portals; I can remember when people would stack the hell out of them for beach parties like it was a bonfire. The longer spawn time (was it 5 mins?) kept the fire going and people could "throw another log on it" every so often. Now you can drop one and if someone comes along and places another right by it, the one you dropped immediately goes away. Do that with boomboxes so that noise doesn't get out of control. Additional thought: have all the music that can be played on it put into a universal playlist that affects all boomboxes in play regardless of zone. So if you drop your boombox in Atlas Park, it kicks in with whatever song is playing in everywhere else, then changes to the next tune as the play list progresses.

Let the woman talk, damn it. Don't rush her, and when she's ready to fight then she can do her thing.

Soothing Stream should be the typical self-only buff of +Regen and +Recovery that many other blaster sets have in the middle of the set. Tier 1 should definitely be a mobility affecting set. Since there are plenty of immobilize powers already in the Manipulation sets, I'd suggest something like Ki Push and Electrified Net Arrow as Tidal Push power that has a primary repel effect and -SPD, -Fly, -Jump secondary effects as the water pushing on the target hinders their movements. Other changes, too.
