xl8 Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 Give your character that law enforcement feel with: 1. Pistol from dual pistols (animation only) Ranged, Minor DMG (Lethal) 2. Tear Gas. Lower rch than temp version. Mag 2 3. Baton. Lower rch than temp version. Moderate damage (Smashing). Mag 2 4. Riot Shield. Timed buff to resistance. 5. Back up radio. Basically the temporary power. 2 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GraspingVileTerror Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 Other than the Riot Shield, all of those can be acquired as Temp Powers. Naturally, customization and Slotting would be nice, and not having to park the character for Day Job refills (but Day Job improvements are a different thread), but at least one can simulate the theme with existing game content. Note: This is coming from someone who is perhaps -the most- vocal about getting some more Natural Power Sets up in this joint . . . so . . . something to consider, maybe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clave Dark 5 Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 Still makes me chuckle that pistols only have "minor" damage. 1 Tim "Black Scorpion" Sweeney: Matt (Posi) used to say that players would find the shortest path to the rewards even if it was a completely terrible play experience that would push them away from the game... ╔═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ Clave's Sure-Fire Secrets to Enjoying City Of Heroes Ignore those farming chores, skip your market homework, play any power sets that you want, and ignore anyone who says otherwise.

Glacier Peak Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 All these things are available through day job or temporary powers. The shield is thru the Shield Defense set, and everything else can be snagged by influence or story arc mission completion bonuses.

0th Power Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 Just because powers can be earned as temp powers, shouldn't mean that they cant be available as a pool (or set). I think if the power is ingame already, it should be given more consideration to add it as a pool.

Shenanigunner Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 I seem to have had a very mild and 'calming' post deleted while some rather inflammatory ones remain.

TheZag Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 Many temp powers are pulled straight from powersets. I dont see why a set cant be made from temps. None of them are overpowered and could be tuned if they were. This is also similar to the powerset recycling and i dont recall it having such a cold reception. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greycat Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 Something like this, I think I'd want to see if we got something Patron-like heroside. It has more of that sort of flavor to me. Done with the Kheld "community" here. Since they obviously don't care about anything lore wise and crap on people who do. Kheld backstory guide might be uploaded in a non-Homecoming location when I finish the revision. No, it may not be put on the HC wiki, and what was there of my first one has been removed. Please do not reupload. I'm not giving the people here the benefit of the work just to be crapped on and told "lol, lore for a lore based AT, doesn't matter, f you."

Maybe like a branching path, start out as a beat cop, then upon reaching certain lvl go either powered PPD(armored powersuit), psi cops, or more traditional with leadership pool and summoning. https://www.twitch.tv/boomie373 The Revenants twitch channel, come watch us face plant, talk smack, and attempt to be world class villains.

GraspingVileTerror Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 uh . . . wut? https://hcwiki.cityofheroes.dev/wiki/Rogue_Island_Police https://hcwiki.cityofheroes.dev/wiki/Praetorian_Police_Department Definitely not Heroside patron material.

(A) Redside already has patrons, and (B) Blueside has police as well, y'know. More specifically, the RIP are there mostly to terrorize lowbies and Skulls in Mercy. The PPD show up throughout 1-50, either as part of missions (and upgrading through things like Awakened and Psi police) and just as part of the environment (NPCs and contacts.) Redside, you don't even see the RIP in Oakes. (I just went and looked to double check my memory - I saw one person who looked police-ish and was labeled as "Security Guard." That's the closest thing to a police presence.) Not really "patron" material. Done with the Kheld "community" here. Since they obviously don't care about anything lore wise and crap on people who do.

biostem Posted September 26, 2021 Share Posted September 26, 2021 I'd rather a more generic "small arms" or "personal defense" type power pool - perhaps something like: 1. Throwing knife - similar to the origin power, but with greater range, more damage, and slottable. 2. Steadied shot - a simple, aimed single pistol attack; low lethal damage, small -def debuff. 3. Reinforced clothing - auto power, minor resistance to all damage (very small amount). 4. Flashbang - thrown grenade power - minor smashing damage, disorients targets in a small AoE. 5. Combat training - toggle power that grants a small degree of protection against immobilizes, knockdowns, and slow effects. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
