I will bring Excitement to that club. 😎

So was having a crazy discussion in General about how someone should create an AE arc about going to see a dentist for a root canal (and the dentist is secretly a Vhazilok scientist), and an idea came up: a dull pain temp power for the ensuing pain. And that sparked an idea: how about adding the ability to assign a temp power that can be used for the duration of a mission (or the whole AE arc). Make it so that it could be assigned as one accepts the mission so it's possessed upon entering, but also give the option of having it placed somewhere within the mission as an objective that must be found. For added fun, perhaps even allow the story creator to name what it's called, but if that isn't possible, at least give a good assortment of the game's standard temp powers to choose from. They could be used to provide an advantage in combat or perhaps a requirement for some other feature (like fire extinguisher for putting out a fire, which is a different mission objective).

I'll visit that base. As long as it's on Torch. Call it The AE Club (confusing with Architect intentionally, but stands for Adult Entertainment).

There's also the divining rod. https://hcwiki.cityofheroes.dev/wiki/Divining_Rod

Sunshine Unit will not miss the name. I never even had a real design concept for her... I was planning for her to become a farming character to help finance my other characters' builds.

I had the name Burn Time sitting on a Radiation / Fire brute that I haven't played in awhile, so I renamed her as Sunshine Unit and repurposed the name Burn Time for a new Fire / Temporal Blaster.

That's fan-friggin-tastic.

Well, she's just fascinating.

Jungle Julie Beasts / Nature Mastermind Although a friend of all animals, it's her affinity for the big cats that defines her.

I like her. Karat Clash looks like a force to be reckoned with.

Storm Summoning... Lightning Storm is fairly impressive but immobile. A good team makes it kind of pointless as they wipe out a group of mobs and move on... away from the Lightning Storm you just dropped, and it stops working if you move too far from it. It's really only useful for AVs and giant monsters, things that take a little longer to kill. How about making the cloud effect mobile, even if slow, so that it can follow the caster around until the next casting is ready?

Aesthetically, I would like to see older hair styles tweaked (or given alternate versions with more detail) to fit with the better detailing of the newer styles. I would also like to see all gender-specific hair styles ported over to their opposite sides. I would also like to see a lot of older costume pieces get revamped alternate options... maybe add illuminated bits to some pieces. It would be really cool if the Gem chest detail had an empty, a gem, and an illuminated option like the Retro gloves and boots. The gem belt would be a good candidate for this, as would some of the tech belts. ...or give Tights or No Tights versions where appropriate (for example, the old bands style braces are worn on bare arms only.... would love to see a version with tights the way the Roman bracers have. Same with the other bracers... also the slippers and sneakers would be nice to have with Tights options. Would also like to see some of the masks, gloves, boots, parts "with skin", and skirts get shiny tights versions to match up with the shiny tights option. It's kind of lame looking to have a full body tights top with shiny tights blending into a dull face mask or Bottom with skin. There's a lot of existing pieces that could be made into completely different extras with minor tweaks.

I'll tackle two problems in one answer. Have the setting of this character flag be something that can be done optionally after character creation. It could be an option put into the P2W Vendor so that it's available from the start of play, even in tutorials... or pick it up (or drop it) when you get to the regular play zone (Atlas or Mercy). This lets reluctant players opt out of character affecting changes they may not want by simply not adding it to their character(s), and it avoids having to code it into the character creation screen. Maybe also have it be semi-permanent. You can only choose at the P2W Vendor, but if you're not happy with your choice (or your character's backstory evolves), then have an option for Null the Gull in Pocket D remove an existing choice so you can choose again.

You missed one of mine: Mentor on the first page of the discussion.

Talk Like a Pirate Day should include the ghost ship spawning randomly in any zone with Ghost Pirates everywhere for the duration of the event. I'd say make it a week long event, too. Gotta have a little build up.

Did you think I meant the Legacy boobs? Nah, those were smaller and not adjustable. The body sliders were a game-changer: big boobs everywhere.

I wish they had even bigger guns. Kind of like how some of the legacy weapons used to be over-sized.
