[Weak RP / Mary Sue RP]

Just to touch on the mass media aspect that Zolgar went into, I don't believe an abundance of available information would mean an abundance of information known by any individual. The sheer amount of heroes and villains would make it unlikely that your typical player character would be well known by the public, including other player characters.

[What does World of Warcraft do better than Cox?]

I know we're all probably a tiny bit biased but I really can't think of anything (though that might be because I never got far in wow since I never enjoyed it)

So what does WoW do better than CoX?

[Teen Titans / Young Justice / Avengers Academy?]

The Young Paragons is a subgroup of The United

NC soft=bad

[City of Heroes 2: elctricboogaloo]

Nc soft never gets to even look at it.

I change my vote again to this

[City of Heroes 2: elctricboogaloo]

I don't expect this thread to get contentious at all.  :)

 

Before I answer, are you defining CoH2 as a modernized update to the existing game, or more like a sequel game? It may not make that much of a difference but if it's the former I think most of my ideas would revolve around QoL changes, but if the latter I might feel encouraged to take the gameplay in new directions. Especially if we still have CoH1 to fall back on.

I think both are worth discussing, but this theoretical CoX2 I was thinking sequel

[City of Heroes 2: elctricboogaloo]

I change all previous suggestions to this

[City of Heroes 2: elctricboogaloo]

So, just for the sake of discussion, what would you want to see if a city of heroes 2 were made?

 

A few ideas off the top of my head:

Deeper, explorable water (with reasons to explore it)

Minion customization

More body type options

[How does RP affect your character build?]

I have no stake in that conversation, just chiming in to mention that Mind Link allows for mind-reading amongst allies. Creative RP interpretation of a reverse use of the power would be reasonable, I think. Mind Probe does not say so explicitly but strongly infers such. Psionic Melee's very set description says all of its damaging powers grant insight into your enemies, which is pretty indicative.

I stand corrected ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

For example I will not remotely acknowledge anyones claims in RP that they are resistant to psi abilities like mind reading if their power sets or IO set bonuses do not indicate at least some moderate level of resistance or defense.

As far as I'm aware (which doesn't mean that I'm correct by any stretch of the imagination) there isn't any in-game attack or ability that lets the user read someone's mind, as far as I'm aware it's only something that can be done in roleplay not mechanically even if there are characters in the lore that are able to read minds.

 

I can see arguments for having a way to defend against mind reading even if you don't have defense against psionic abilities mechanically, so long as you aren't trying to argue that your character has a defense against abilities that they mechanically don't. I think you can be immune to mind reading if you have a good reason, but if you don't have a mechanical defense against dominate I wouldn't want to see someone claiming immunity to dominate in rp.

My main character hasn't taken any travel powers and hasn't taken several main powers simply because they don't fit the character.
