More Trials please...

[MidnightCry]

I don't have as much time as i used to, to play COH for hours and hours ;/

So most TF/SF are way to long I was hoping to put a bug in someones ear.

For more Trials like the DFB and DIB even the respec trials are to long.

Most of the newer TFs/trials are pretty short. Penelope Yin, Mortimer Kal, Apex, Tin Mage and Market Crash can all be completed in 20-30 minutes (or less). Also MLTF and LRSF if you skip to objectives.

[JasperStone]

I am always down for more stuff

Along with what @Uun said, you can request for any speed TFs to join in LFG. Can even say you have limited playtime. Ran with someone on Indom for that reason.

Any suggestions for what kind of content you want to see in trials?

 

Personally, I'd like to see a vampire trial introduced for next Halloween, featuring a conflict between real vamps and Council vamps, and bring in Count Dracula (public domain, so A-OK to do) as an AV you have to face at the end.

Given the abilities the Count has which are not properly reflected in what the game has available, maybe instead just run with the traditional werewolves and vampires feud? The TF can run on the premise that werewolves and vampires are pouring in from dimensions where they took over only to find that instead of more prey, their thought vanquished enemies are also appearing. The heroes have to run a spate of missions to contain the threat the invaders pose to the population while also searching for what enabled these invaders to get here in the first place and stop it. Can still have an AV vampire at the end, but since it would not have to be Dracula per se, it would be easier to fit in using existing vamps in the game. The final mission could be to hunt down and stop this AV plus the (empowered) werewolf AV on the same map where they are each "hunting" (they aren't actually searching the map) each other and must be stopped lest their unbridled power and wrath makes Boomtown look like paradise.

Which I may just make an AE arc some time instead....

Let's see, the Count can turn into mist (phase shift), mesmerize (mental domination), telekinesis (tk is ingame), control wolves (animal mastermind), crazy strength (SS, either tank or brute version), can fly (duh) and manipulate weather (storm summoning with some lightning strikes). I think it could definitely be done within the current game parameters.

So basically just a second rate Underworld rip?  Hard pass.

 

Maybe they couldn't do Count Dracula justice, but it could just be the City of Heroes interpretation of Count Dracula or perhaps even just a pretender that's powerful enough that none of the other vamps care to challenge him on it.

Also needs a mist form added.

 

Control bats. Control rats. Transform into swarm of bats. Transform into a bat. Transform into a wolf. The wolf transformation can be done in game by replacing him with a Howler Wolf or using Shadow Hunter's ability. The using bats and rats, and the swarm and single bat transformations don't exist in game.

You're going to have to enlighten me on this reference. (Edit: Never mind. Looked it up.)

That works.
