What would you do if you were a DEV?! (Fun Ideas Talks)

I would hire an animator and have them create some brand new power animation options like more alternative punches/kicks and enabling the ;getsome emote as a taunt alternative animation.

   I would send one ice cream bar with Hami's picture on it to every person who play's Coh, with a note saying "Thank you for your support. Here's a HamiBar for you". That would be a very kind gesture I would think... 🙂

I would create a full immersive experience where you can actually enter the game ready player 1 style.  Until then, I shall just bitch!

I'd make sure all popup dialogs (Resurrect, Mystic Fortune, Teleport, mission into text) could be activated with Enter or Esc

Not sure about Esc but Enter key can be bound to this function. It might also activate your dialog box, though. 

 

I have this bound to Y key myself.

 

It would probably work with /bind enter "dialog_yes$$startchat"

Woah! It works!
Thanks so much, twozerofoxtrot! That made my day!
Really glad I dropped by this thread to moan about something! 😄

Eliminate all crashes on T9s

Remove Group Fly from the game and give pets their owners travel power.

Pets spawn even level to their owner.

Increase base storage by 50%

Increase coalition limit as high as possible (infinite?)

Fix/expand league controls

Purge Max (sorry Max, nothing personal but I hate seeing the pop ups)

Allow converting of Hami-Os/D-Syncs

Instanced Hami Raids

Statues in my honor

[Hedgefund]

Make all follower pathing "good".  

 

I'd probably just say propagate Mr. Yin's follow AI to all others but I haven't seen him on a stairwell.  Praetorians on a stairwell make me want to get some hair implants just so I can yank them out in frustration when trying to coax some of them up ramps or stairs.

 

I could write a lengthier post about a lot of other things on my wish list but this is just #1 for me.

So, at first, I would do nothing. I would think carefully, which tends to hurt my brain. Assuming the implementation of these ideas were within my ability, and wouldn't break anything else, or take more than 4 hours of coding to implement: 

I would try to find a way to trade a power for another at the trainer without doing a respec. As an example, leveling up a Beam/marine corruptor. I foolishly chose shifting tides, a power that had an icon that looked like a marine version of build-up, a standard click. But no, it's a targeted ranged power. So, I have to either make a macro or use my mouse to use it. I'd rather not have to do either. I think it should work the same way any other attack or buff does. Target acquired - fire. If I'm buffing, target the ally, press the corresponding icon, boom. Same if I'm debuffing. I might now do a respec, because even though the power itself is a good one, the implementation of it is not suitable to my current power tray set up. 

Second thing: I would start with 3 enhancement slots at level 27. Every build I have is 3 slots short! 

Third thing: I wouldn't limit power pools. If someone want's speed for hasten, leaping for combat jump, teleport for fold space, leadership for maneuvers, tactics and vengeance, and they want fight pool for tough and weave, let 'em have it. 

Fourth thing: Patron pool unlocks would go the way of the dodo. 

Fifth thing: Every zone would be a co-op zone. No alignment changes would be necessary, aside from merits, badges or that alignments temp power. (Force of Justice, for example) 

 

Sixth thing: I'd like to find a way to make AE a compelling place to visit for new content. Some of our players are pretty good at making missions, but there's currently no incentives to do them. No merits. 1/2 XP. I'm not at all sure how to remedy this, but if there was a way to monitor a mission or arc before it got published to see if it were afk-farmable, I'd try to create incentives to those maps that are far less likely to have predictable success afk-farming. 

 

Seventh thing: MSRs would remain the same, but have the flyer that routinely gets taken down be a lot more offensive, with the equivalent of bullet sprays, and toxic gas, so the league actually has to work at it. 

Eighth thing: No training while you have debt. If you have leveled and have debt, you should have to work that off before you can train. And that's terribly easy with patrol xp. 

Ninth thing: Zero second timers and zero second activation and instant recharge on all teleport powers purchased from START vendor. I see no reason why they have any. 

 

Last thing: A costume overhaul for Manticore. People hate Manticore for more than just because he's arrogant. His costume is just plain hideous. At least, on my screen it is. Give the dude some kind of color variation. 


I've no idea if any or all of these would break the game, nor how hard or long it would take to implement them. Or if they're even possible. Each suggestion assumes the change wouldn't break some other part of the game, and wouldn't be too hard to implement.
