My Selfish List of things I want to see in City of Heroes. Feel free to add your own..

[Heatstroke]

Oh and can we PLEASE increase amount the PITIFUL heal on Radiany Aura Seriously?!!!  fully slotted @ level 50 it heals for like 232 HP. and im not comparing it to Empath as a heal.  Tempral Mending is more.. Chrono Shift is more. Rejuvinating Circuit is more. 

 

Its pathetically low.. 

[Ukase]

What I'd like to see: 

• The trainer recommend a power or power pool with a reason why when you go to train. (and visiting a 2nd trainer may or may not agree with the first) 
• all invention set enhancements be available in levels 10-50. It doesn't make sense to me why sets begin at 35 or stop at 30. (that will shake up the market for sure, lol) 
• I'd like to see zones/instanced msrs capped to 32 until HC can find a way to reduce lag for the people who are constantly complaining about it, even though I rarely have any lag. 
• I'd like to give away tailor tokens that I have. I'd like to be able to give away team teleporters, work benches, ATTs, SG portals and other items we can purchase, but can't give directly away. 
• I'd like for chance of damage procs to work every time the power passes an accuracy check - with limits of one damage proc per power. Enough with (me having to do) the damn math. 
• I'd like to click on a contact and choose any mission they have that's not part of story arc, in the same fashion Lord Schweinzer lets us look at all the mayhem missions before choosing. 
• I'd like the find contact list to include every contact within a level appropriate range, alphabetically, instead of by zone the original devs wanted to push us towards. 
• I would like a "get all" button on the AH, for those times when I might purchase a lot of converters. 
• I would like a "get all" button for character email so I don't have to manually remove over 2000 enhancement unslotters and other items. (Not all the items in the character email - just all of that category of item)
• I would like all of the purchased teleport powers to have a recharge time of 5 seconds. There's no reason to have it take more than that. Not a good one, anyway. Or let me buy a better one for more inf that has a faster recharge time. Or let me buy more than one so I can use them one after the other. 
   

If I ever got any one of those things, I'd be quite pleased.

I never eat Taco Bell. I ate there twice.. both times violently ill.. once with projeticles.... NEVER again

[blue4333]

1) Mastermind pets to spawn at the same level as the Mastermind

2) Mastermind AT Power to TP all pets to the Mastermind (on a 5 second cooldown) to help with how slow pets are and the dumb AI pathing sometimes.

3) More Judgement damage type options - can just be simple recolours or reuse existing VFX from other areas. Kinda want a Psychic Judgement real bad

4) Melee/Support AT.  I want a Savage Melee/Poison character 

[Heatstroke]

PLEASE make a Psi Armor alternate animation WITHOUT the floating skulls.. not everyone wants that.. I know I dont.. kills character concepts for me.

P2W pet Snarky. Then I could run up to the City Hall steps in a Posi 1 and giggle as he trails along...possibly grumbling to himself.

Toxic Blast set confirmed. 🤢🤜💩💩💩💩💩😖

[keyguardactive]

If I had my fantasy? An alternate powerset for a given character. Like, obviously I can't have a Scrapper that has both Martial Arts and Katana at the same time, but if I could go to a trainer and swap between the two? That would open up some cool RP and character concepts for me. I remember someone explaining that the power set is hard-coded to a character and it's probably not possible, but that's my fantasy. 

[ThatGuyCDude]

I'd like all of the 'lead to exit/objective' NPCs to be swapped out for invincible combat versions of themselves, so that every objective of this category type is equally susceptible to teleports.  Bonus if all NPCs, both the currently 'object' variety and the combat allies, would be added to the Pets window so you can track their health, target them quickly, and tell them to wait or not attack.  Of course, Dominators should get that functionality for their pets as well.

On another tangent, I'd like to see Striga Isle and Kallisti Wharf moved to the top of the long-range teleporter list and put in the neutral green color, since they're co-op zones and the 'blue wall' in that menu is annoyingly long.

It might be fun if there was a "Hard Mode" setting on ALL the Task Forces, so that they could be run at max level/power with enemies boosted up to 50+ to match.
OH!  They could use Labyrinth's rank upgrade!  Seas of bosses!

Won't work with some of the opponents in the TFs, as the mobs cap out at certain levels, and wouldn't scale properly to 50 — it would be necessary to create new versions of the mobs at higher level ranges. There's a reason why, say, the Clockwork disappear at level 20, and we only see them again as the 'psychic Clockwork' in Tina Mac's introductory mission; the regular Clockwork don't have the range of powers (or combat logic) to be viable opponents at higher levels. This was commented on by the Paragon Studios devs when asked about this on Live.

HC, thanks for all that you do! 

 

I feel it's tough for HC Devs to pump out a lot of content. So, once again, I would like to see a separate A.E. system used only to add missions made by players that are added into the REGULAR game and become canon. Players would be responsible for Wiki write up and info for the mish. Start with single missions (radios, papers, tips etc - repeatables). I know it's a lot of front end work for the Devs but it would allow them to implement other content.

 

What other content? Glad you asked!

 

Trials. We haven't had one added. Focus on that.

 

New powers that are unique and different. I don't think Wind Control would be much different than what we have. Although I would love to make a Spleen toon...

 

Some new power pools - many have been pitched so let's see some of them. I'd love the ability to have a sidekick and be able to completely design the look and have the ability to have this sidekick have a few different roles (range attacks? tank? heals? Pick one). Alternate name for the pool could be partner/minion etc.

 

Some alternate options to incarnate powers. Have other options to Judgement (guns, rifles, missile barrage etc). Lore - much like the above pool, give players the ability to create the look of their Lore pets.

 

I feel we have so many zones and powers. If Devs want to add zones, make a new TF/SF/Trial instead. If they want to add powers, make them something we don't have.

 

Lots of other stuff but the ability to add new content quickly is my number 1. HC has been at it for over 5 years and things are great but there isn't a lot of new stuff to do that is really playable and really desired. I am not complaining as these Devs are volunteers - these are suggestions to help. Again, a big thanks to the HC Devs! 

[Spectre7878]

HC has been great adding new things to the game.
 

Things I would love to see added ….

 

Synapse TF. Maybe shorten it a bit. Seems excessively long. Or if all the missions could be in Skyway. 
 

Numina TF. When you get to the hunt part of the TF. It would be awesome if a pop up list would come up that shows who to hunt and where. That way the team could spread out and hunt them all at the same time. 
 

Adding some new TF both side would be great. Black Scorpion, Mako, Ghost Widow, and Sirocco should get there own TF. 
 

Power Pool could use some love. Gadgets and Utility Belt. 
 

Ancillary Pools for all ATs. To fill out the gaps

plant

archery

radiation

storm
 

Powers. 
 

Wind set would be nice to finally get. 
 

Blasters

Shuriken set for blaster would be awesome. 
 

Blaster Secondary 

Water manipulation 

Storm manipulation 
 

Controller Dominator primary 

Wind control

water control

radiation control

temporal control

I am sure as long as there is love for COH. They will make more stuff. 👍

 

[TheMoneyMaker]

Wind control. It was not developed by any other server, it was only completed by them. Wind control existed prior to HC or any of the other illegitimate servers. And since then, HC has become legitimate. There is no reason not to finish something that was started by the original developers. Another server created water control and HC doesn't want to copy that, okay... stupid, but I can accept that. Wind control doesn't belong to anyone just because they finished it first.

[Spectre7878]

I was also thinking of medium size wings. Somewhere in between cherub and full size wings. I large wings are ok, but sometimes I feel they are to big for my characters. 

[MTeague]

Versions of Luminous Blast / Umbral Blast for non-Kheldian AT's.  (Blaster, Corruptor, Defender, Sentinel)

1. Gleaming Bolt
2. Glinting Eye
3. Gleaming Blast
4. Proton Scatter
5. Inner Light (build up)
6. Luminous Detonation
7. Luminous Lance (snipe, no preexisting power exists, but maybe an animamation like Blazing Bolt with the Luminous color scheme?)
8. Solar Flare
9. Dawn Strike (pbae nuke)

Versions of Luminous Aura / Umbral Aura for non-Kheldian AT's.  (Tankers, Scrappers, Brutes, Sentinels... I guess Stalkers, too, but Luminous and Hide don't go together. Umbral for sure though)

1. Incandescence
2. Shining Shield
3. Thermal Shield
4. Quantum Shield
5. some kind of Practiced Brawler analog for status protection
6. Reform Essence
7. ???
8. Restore Essence
9. Light Form

Full Disclosure:  Yes, I have an ulterior motive. I love the look of the Kheldian powers, but I keep nerdraging and deleting my Kheldians around lvl 11-16 after dying to Quantums too many times. Yes, if I wasn't nerdraging over that, I might well be among the first to shoot my own idea down. But hey. The thread title does say "selfish list of things", right?

Id like to see a Judgement power that looks like a big energy blast as this would fit so many concepts.  It could be a big Hadoken a big Kamehameha.. Big Bang Attack Anything like that would be cool. 

I use Pyronic for such characters...but I can see it wouldn't work for everyone.

[Krimson]

I want to see the two NPCs near the base portal in Pocket D moved closer to Zero's stage. Purely selfish Everlasting request for roleplay reasons. 

[Rudra]

Any demon doing the fishing emote as a selectable NPC for my base....

 

Edit: And maybe another one just chilling on a floatie.... (And probably some regular human NPCs that do that too.)

Curly hairstyles just more styles in general both for costumes and hair.

Wait... Did they actually do this, or did those NPCs have multiple positions from the start, because right now it sure looks like my request was granted.

Wouldn’t hurt to bring some screenshots and see if those NPCs have multiple positions. I am not sure if it was already a thing since some non-important NPCs (like visiters / ravers) did stick to a place.

If they move again, I'll notice. Still cool to see them not close to the portal.

[TheMoneyMaker]

I'd love to see the music notes effect from symphony control be added as a Path Aura......maybe mix it up a bit with a large one that follows you like the Streak aura and another that's a pair of smaller paths that follow your feet so it can look like you're being carried along by the music.
