Player2 Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 Could we get some options to substitute for the police radio and newspaper contacts that might suit different character origins/backgrounds a little better? Like, they would work the same way and lead to the bank mission, and they would be mutually exclusive so you couldn't run them all and then do back-to-back-to-back bank missions or whatever. They'd still use the same mission lists for each zone and could even still direct the player to the detectives or villain brokers for said bank missions. Some ideas to replace the police radio and newspaper animations as contacts: The Internet - Use the smart phone texting animation to see what's going on locally via social media. Eventually, you get a private/direct message that the local detective/broker wants to see you about something big going down. The Informant/Snitch - Use the cell phone animation to take a phone call from someone in the know that will direct you toward local missions. Instead of the usual assortment of missions, you're told that the local detective/broker has been putting out requests asking you to come see them. The Psychic - Using the animation for Scramble Minds, a mysterious psychic communicates with you and directs you toward missions that require your attention/could profit you. After completing the requisite number of missions, the psychic tells you to visit the detective/broker. Crystal Ball - Using the casting animation from the Sorcery pool, a crystal ball (like the globe from the Floating Heads costume options) manifests and shows you local happenings and yada yada yada. I like the radio missions, but I am just sick of hearing and seeing that police radio everywhere and think it would be cool if we could opt out of it while still being able to do those missions. 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FupDup Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 The Internet could also use the laptop animation. 1 1 Closed Beta Discord Invite: https://discord.gg/DptUBzh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FupDup Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 There could also be another option that uses the floating books emote...Conjuring? I dunno what to call it. Closed Beta Discord Invite: https://discord.gg/DptUBzh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc_Scorpion Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 "The Informant" would definitely be useful for one of my Vigilantes... 1 Unofficial Homecoming Wiki - Paragon Wiki updated for Homecoming!

biostem Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 Hmm... I wonder if they could simply provide a "no emote" slash command to access the radio/newspaper function, then we could add the emote of our own choosing as part of a bind or something... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InvaderStych Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 This is an outstanding idea @Player2, a great way to re-use existing assets to give players a little more customization. Sort of a "lots of bang for the buck" suggestion. 1 You see a mousetrap? I see free cheese and a f$%^ing challenge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that were possible, then that would open up the options even more for every individual. Great idea. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
