Power Origin Points

[ZDevoi]

Hey Folks,

 

Soverus here. Been playing CoH since i1 and there was always something I wished the devs would make possible and I'm bringing it to you. Now, The plausibility of this is there, as we already have most, if not all, of the animations required already in game. I'm requesting the addition of origin points for your powers from your character. Specifically, I'm requesting the ability to toggle it so blaster-related powers can be directed from a gun. This would immensely increase the scope of creativity and the role-playing community by having characters that do not in themselves have powers, but have a gun that fires these powers off (ie; a DUST Cannon that shoots Ice powers). You could essentially re-use the animations from AR and BR. It would essentially work in a way that you would need a trigger to allow the Weapon menu to show for non-AR/DP/BR Ranged powers. Then the power origin would change as an Alt animation in the Powers customization section.

 

I'm just saying, that with something like this, you could have Warshades with basically a Quantum rifle acting like Void Hunters.

 

That's it. Just something I've always wanted to see. Thanks!

I want to revisit this possibility as it got no attention before, but it would still be amazing.

I think that adding modern and high-tech weapons to powersets would be one of the best customization options ever.

 

A Fire/Energy Blaster who uses a flamethrower instead of just magically (arcanely?) shooting fire from his hands would be great.

More freedom of creativity is always a good thing. People already do their best to make their character theme unique with colors alone. More FX options and using things like Weapons in place of the actual set is cool and good.

 

Don't let the haters tell you that one set can't be something just because of its name and original theme.
