Please write down your ideas for what you want the future of "Champions Online" to hold.

How about a auction house with actual auctioning?

1. A "Roleplay" channel right bellow "Local" chat.
2. Competent ATs added to the C-Store that have self heals and can hold on their own in ALL roles and are capable of doing their jobs without dying because someone sneezed next to them.
And not just Protectors, certainly tanks need to be more durable than the rest, but that squishiness they force most ATs to have sucks, the Freeforms don't have to endure it in disregard what role they play, from my point of view, then no one should.
3. Make ALL cinematics skipable, I can't imagine a feature about CO that annoys me more than not having that. Guildwars have the best system ever, there is a "Skip Cinematics" button on every one of them and if all members of the party hit it then its bye bye cinematic, why can't CO have it.
4. Revisit most of the cinematics in the games story arcs, they did this a while ago, I was very disappointed, in some cinematics, the subtitles are not in sync with the dialog and often even say different things, the pace of the editing sucks and all that pretty much make what could have been awesome cinematics look really crappy which cheeses the hell out of the games PVE aspect.
5. Add more pieces to those single costume sets I see in the C-Store, you do get a pain in your balls after spending 380 points on just one costume set, this is especially annoying to Silvers like me who are using real money to pay for that stuff. I have no problems buying costume packs but singles come on!
This issue would certainly annoy Golds as well who would have to spend 380 of their 500 monthly paycheck on a single costume set.
6. Make Super Speed able to climb walls, it's a super hero world, why not?

Old bugs...fix them. New bugs...stop coding them. UHM, but kenpo if they kill all bugs wouldn't then the debugger team have nothing to do? They'll lose their jobs LOL! I don't mind a few bugs here and there as long as they make me rich and relatively few people know about them HAHAHA!

We have a debugging team in CO?

Disclaimer: I know we do, just poking fun at the buggy nature of the game we all spend (or have spent) so much time on.

What in the world are you doing on the proboards at midnight on a Friday night? I know why I'm here. I'm fat and have no social life, but you're a walking taco for gods sake! You should be out be out getting grease-faced with Mayor McCheese and Constable Big Mac.

On a slightly more serious note, I would like to chime in. In my opinion the game is overall solid, I would however probably: 1. Add one more full content zone. It would be designed for levels 28 to 40. On my first and second playthroughs I found it incredibly hard to keep pace with the content at these portions of the game; I always felt I was 1-2 levels below what the game thought I should be (I could also just be a baddie, so w.e). 2. Do a balance pass on the archetypes already released and balance PvP (if its worth the time that is). Balance PvP around the archetypes because (in my opinion) balancing FF adds way too many variables into the mix and truly optimal builds are few. When the environment becomes reasonable, you could start automated tournaments (GW does this monthly as an example, and their PvP is bearably volatile), these tournaments could offer prizes, perks etc etc. Generally, when balancing the archetypes you want to give each AT regardless of role, a self-heal, or ability that offers a self heal as an advantage, at least 2 defensive abilities, and the rest can be a hodge podge mix of powers that are not redundant / conflict with each other. (ex: Gatling Gun vs Submachine gun for the soldier AT) 3. The Developers have hinted at this with their recent bannings and decision to not allow F2P players to post on the forums, but I honestly think the Developers need to grow a thicker skin and take criticism in stride (hell, even if someone is criticizing you, it means they are concerned with the game, this is a great time to answer their queries with professional conduct as a pose to simply banning them ). Regarding Silvers, you can easily just limit the number of posts, add a report feature in the forum (or use it if already there), or even require the type-box-thingy confirmation in order to post. If they do allow silvers to post, you can simply give them a border around their blank avatar signifying that they are indeed a silver and as such, can be identified as one. I feel this video: penny-arcade.com/patv/episode/microtransactions Gives a broad idea of the potential of the Silver market if Cryptic attempts to tap into the hidden potential of F2P instead of treating Silvers like a "bigger" demo. 4. Continue the Comic Series- thingy, it seems to be popular, it adds content, it gives the playerbase something to look forward to. Obviously its impossible to develop PvE content faster than players can digest the content, but keeping the playerbase entertained for a spell is better then letting the game grow stale. Consider adding more automated events to spice things up. Hell, they could also make a big content pass on their existing lairs / APs and try to fix up some of the more boring parts of the content (some areas have a disproportionate amount of "trash" mobs compared to other areas. 5. Consider adding more deals in the C-store, maybe like a weekly deal to entice silvers to open their wallets for the company, this is especially true for some items that are older and less popular buys nowadays.

Slowly introduce escalating bugs with action figures. 1. they start popping out when they're not supposed to, 2. they start showing bizarre pathing, 3. they seem capable of drawing aggro 4. the pathing gets more unusual, they seem to be drawn to terminals - the UNTIL message centers, Socrates, etc 5. several take off, get real arms and attack the hero ... hero must defeat them, trace down where they're getting their arms... ...
Who's behind it? Foxbat? Mechanon? Your Nemesis? All 3?
