A Question from The Homecoming Team

[Jimmy]

Hello everyone!

 

Today we have a simple question for everyone: What do you want to see out of a legitimate, licensed City of Heroes server?

 

As a caveat, this thread is not a Q&A and we won’t be answering questions here. We’re primarily looking to gather everyone’s thoughts and feedback about what they’d like to see from us going forward - both operationally and for the game itself!

 

- The Homecoming Team

[GamingwithWilson]

Content. New Content

 

[DreamingShad]

Aesthetics: New powersets (especially Wind Control) and costume pieces/sets

*points at Homecoming*

That.

[RadicalRay]

I would love to not have to start over again! 🙂 Also, it would be great to see new incarnate slots developed and for the overall story arc of the game to be moved forward. I'm dying to see what Battalion looks like.

 

Editing to add something important I forgot.... It would of course be amazing to see original members of the Dev team from live returning to the game (as long as they don't touch all the awesome stuff that was added in i25 :p)

I always wanted to see how the Coming Storm story arc ended and just how powerful you'd eventually be able to become with Incarnate abilities. So basically more story more Incarnate stuff :)

[Ideon]

No subscription system if possible but not going crazy on microtransactions, haha.

 

If a sub model is required then since it's an old game, try not to go overboard on the pricing

[Eidolor]

No archetype restriction on weapon powers

[Neogibu]

Transparency (ya'll have been stellar at this so far)  

Content across the board, not just adding to endgame content, this will stop AE from being the hangout place. 

[Ellis]

To me, the most important thing about CoH is its community, which has generally been better behaved than other MMO communities. Anything that keeps the community intact, civil and cohesive would be my primary goal.

[silvrmccn]

More powersets and Khallisti Warf being complete?

[Crichton]

New powersets, incarnates and archetypes. Also costume powers.

[Khaten]

New powersets,  architypes and story content, such as new Tf's and signature story arcs. Also maybe a rejuve of certain zones like Perez park

[ZeeHero]

Firstly, balance fixes to badly performing sets like Energy Melee and Archery so they are viable for people who enjoy more effective characters. then, new content continuation of story etcetera. New Powersets.

[altairchan]

I would like to see a progression in the story lines that are already in place that affect maps that aren't really used right now like Perez Park or Boomtown.

[Fink]

The peace of mind of knowing that our characters aren't going to suddenly disappear?

Not looking for a lot honestly 😛

[CaptainGame]

That's a real interesting question to ask. Real interesting...

But in addition to the "new content pls" you've heard a few times now - I'd love to see those alternate travel sets going - I just want support. The original devs were great people, and I'd love to see that back - transparency, friendliness, the occasional silly admin-run event like how the devs would roleplay as their characters and do fun things with them... that was a big part of what made this community so great to me.

That's easy. Transparency in funding reporting. New content; events, costume pieces, missions, Task Forces.  No paywalls, ever. Robust service and support. 

[Ventriloquist]

If and when you open the spigot on art development, an initial focus on improving the existing world and character assets to update the look of the game that is prioritized over bolting new assets on.

 

Bolting on a bunch of new costume options that require we need to dig through the 80% which are older / lower resolution / buggy / etc pieces isn't in our best interests.

 

Likewise, slapping a new coat of paint on players but leaving the zones looking like it's 15 years ago doesn't serve us well in terms of the games sustainability.

[Morgahn]

Honestly?  More face options and hair styles for male characters.  I tend to gravitate to maybe 3-4 face options because the rest are unappealing, and maybe 5 hair styles because it's like the original developers focused only on giving 'good' hair styles to female characters.

[Rooks]

It would be amazing if some of the old live team could liase with the current team about what overarching plans for moving forward incarnate content would have been, with a view to trying to implement it someday (or an iteration upon 'it')

[LorannaPyrel]

* New Content, across all levels
* New Powersets
* New Costume and Powerset Customization Options
* New Incarnate Abilities
* New People To Meet And Game With! ^_^

[Eidolor]

More henchie skins for mastermind! And the ability to mix and match them in power customization

[Pandize]

More powers! Color wheel! Balance! Also, would love a customizable archetype.

 

I’d just really love to see more unique ideas and customization.

[Minotaur]

I'm happy with the servers as they are now, with ongoing development as available. The major thing I want is the security, that we're not one C&D notice away from oblivion. Not having to restart would be good too but not essential.
