Maybe a middle of the road or weak resist set combined with regen? Willpower = CoX training wheels!! sure! Maybe Berserker could be a MoG replacement. I just thought it interesting to have a no-you-didn't rez or if a face defeat in order to.. along those lines.

Hi and thanks for at least being curious. I'd like to propose discussing a new powerset that is similar to Regeneration but different. Collectively maybe come up with a suggestion. Many of the ideas that get suggested for regen could significantly impact the style and functions. Kinda of a non-starter for some. That said, there are some interesting ideas that could work for a new set. One idea is that of a Berserker style "someone who wears a coat made out of a bear's skin". We get hit and it makes our character mad. Power/Level/Effect Fast Healing [rename] / 1 / Auto: Self +Regen, +Res(Regen Debuff) Reconstruction Heal / 2 / Click: Self Heal, +Res(Smash/Lethal/Psi) Quick Recovery Quicken / 4 20 / Auto: Self +Recovery +Recharge Dull Pain / 10 / Click: Self Heal, +Max Health (this power just works on multiple sets and no need to make it different) Integration / 16 / Toggle: Self +Res(Knockback, Disorient, Hold, Sleep, Immobilize), +Regen Resilience / 20 4 / Auto: Self +Res(Disorient, Knockback, All DMG (potentially scaling)) Instant Healing / 28 / +Regen Instant Healing Rebuke / 28 / Click: PBAoE -ToHit +Regen (same or similar regen, recharge & duration?) Revive Bezrerker / 35 / Click: Self Rez +Dam +Recovery +Recharge +NerfProtection Moment of Glory Glory / 38 / Click: Self +DEF(All DMG but Psionics Fire), +Res(All DMG but Psionics Fire, Disorient, Hold, Sleep, Immobilize, Knockback, Repel), +Recovery Potentially poaching from other sets Shield Defense True Grit / ?? / Auto: Self +Res(Fire, Cold, Energy, Negative, Toxic), +Max Health Against All Odds / ?? / Toggle: PBAoE, Foe -DMG, Self +DMG Each enemy that stands toe-to-toe with you in combat will grant you a damage bonus. Invulnerability Unyielding / ?? / Toggle: Self +Res(All DMG but Psionics, Disorient, Hold, Sleep, Immobilize, Knockback) Fiery Aura Fiery Embrace / ?? / Self +DMG, +DMG(Fire) I like the idea of bit more resist and a tiny bit less regen. (but i really like current regen levels)

yeah, but that was a nerf to attempt to reign it in. it was a big change.

..and it just isn't that many clicks. only Reconstruction is really up super often. @Menelruin I like your idea for maybe another regen like power set. one tweak could be rather than just healing it adds.. I think I'll start another thread to bring it up but you idea is a big component.

oops sorry I meant:

westworld,.. thats not bad. instead of a motorcycle travel power we could have a horse.. wait. what the heck happened to motorcycle travel power?!

and.. the 'very best' is very subjective. take a shot at creating a build using mids, post it and state your goals. folks will help you dial it in. (you've had about a dozen of these types of requests over multiple ATs, right? time to take the training wheels off) cheers on your chunk of change.

oh my @Cutter

Can you post this over to the.. bring your asbestos suit.

You should go for it. Energy Melee / Energy Aura probably for a broot, the other for a Tank. Energy Melee is solid and can hit hard after getting the T9. If someone never played any of the older versions they won't notice the revamp. Energy Melee had a combo mechanic added, and for a broot, some additional AoE. Total Focus was sped up a bit and we are nearly forced to use it often. There were many additional small changes. I've switched from Energy Melee to Stone Melee for the former feel of no combos, hard hitting with some active mitigation.

latest creation 'Mist' the anti-costume?

Hey now, turn that frown upside down. I agree the buildings can be problematic for say viking or medieval times. The buildings could work for time periods that take place post WW2 and into the future. There are large outdoor areas that are mostly natural and Circle of Thorns mission maps could be Fantasy thematic (without those pesky hall way torches). While some might be a stretch and have areas with buildings. Maybe: Some of the trial maps, Cimerora, The Abyss, The Hive, Tunnels of the Trolls, Winter Forest, Echo Plaza, Eden, Cascade Archipelago, The Chantry, The Storm Palace, half of Nerva?

It would be dreamy to have the game run on a modern engine, unfortunately as I understand it, that is basically a complete rewrite. I'm thinking more along the lines of using the existing game, which works, and has been largely updated for current systems and computers. Using that as a baseline, drop the existing lore/canon, and come up with something smaller and different. Trim out some of the non-relavent costumes, zones, and powersets. There's ~55 zones currently. Surely 10 or so could be cobbled together into a outdoor, city, or time period theme. Basically the same concept as used with The Abomination in Dr. Kane's being a repurposed Adamastor.

Would earning AE tickets still be available? Maybe increase the tickets a bit while dialing down other aspects? There a good number of levers that can be adjusted.

Stalker > Epic Power Set Weapon Mastery powerset > Physical Perfection should read: Physical Perfection By achieving perfect harmony of body, mind and spirit you are able to regenerate health and endurance slightly faster than normal. This power is always active and consumes no endurance.

Okay. I'll give it one more try. Regenerate, recuperate, recover from wounds, heal, etc are interchangeable terms. I didn't say any were false, in fact, I intimated the opposite, and stated that is silly to argue that Wolverine does not heal. Then, on a new line, in a different color, and italicized. I tried to say the CoH powerset 'Regeneration' does-what-it-does, and is not specific to any comic book character such as Wolverine. The face palms are a reaction to the responses to my comment which included "folks look silly when they try and argue..". All that said, I do usually try to keep comments short and sometimes that can be less than clear. C'est la vie.

lol

and silly you look.. don't make me pretend fan boi on you!! all said with a smile and respect

Oooo

+1 to @Outrider_01 suggestions. Energy Melee has so new stuff. Stone Melee hits hard. Radiation Melee, Super Strength.. it's hard to go wrong.

Oh dear gawd.. First, thanks @Frozen Burn Second, if folks wanna make a new set, just make one. no need to recreate the wheel. Third, Wolverine has a 'Healing Factor', and no offense but folks look silly when they try and argue differently. (Regeneration is not Wolverine, it is a CoH powerset that does what it does) @The_Warpact keep the ideas coming. Scaling regeneration based on incoming damage is totally doable. Making it specific to damage types might be over complicating it.

Alrighty! Slot Machine's Random Challenge 2022 is coming to a close. Hope participants had fun, maybe found some inspiration, or at a minimum fed that alt itch. I'll put together a brief wrap up and email out prizes over the weekend. Congratulations to everyone!! Triple grats to anyone who found a new favorite character!!!

@Spaghetti Betty So take the character creator, kept a good number of the relevant power sets (renaming appropriately) and lay that on top a different environment and lore, could that have potential?
