    The "raid" would be deemed an "op" if it was open world.
    As much as this may garner criticism, if this was implemented, I would prefer that Doomsday (to stay with canon) be "defeated" and respawn in another zone and require a new tactic to take him down.

    design notes:
    who do i want to see?
    • CaptainMarvel, Mary Marvel,
    • Freddy Freeman? Deadman? the Master? Ramma Kushna?
    • Isis, BlackAdam, Osiris?
    • Faust? Tala?
    • 4 Horsemen?
    • Great 10?
    • black manta, lex luthor, tala, rampage, atomic skull, bizarro?
    • where do i want to go? Rock of Eternity? Nanda Parbat. Bialya? Fate's Tower? Khandaq? Rock of Finality?
    • really would have been curious to play around with WWIII but that is in DCUO's history and wouldn't resolve any current plot lines. DCUO takes place after WWIII.
    • inspired by events in 52, WWIII, Countdown and the Justice League Ep. Dead Reckoning.
    • Ps. Tawny is Captain Marvel's Tiger friend (not Klarion's cat).
    structure:
    2 raids
    2 ops
    1 set of solo missions

    Motivations:
    • Lex doesn't like the idea that Black Adam may find peace and an end to his rampage -- keeping him unstable is useful.
    • Circe doesn't want any other mystical competition at this sensitive time in her own schemes.
    • Ras'Al'Gul wants control of this Lazarus Pit.
    this is a Large Content DLC

    A minor thing, but one thing I have always thought would be neat would be to change the animation for pushing the depressed citizens off buildings. Instead of just backhanding them off the building, do a boo/surprise animation followed by a joker style tap-dance. Much more evil.
  4. DaKrushmor Loyal Player

    Wow, btw that DLC "SUPERSIZE ME" idea is pretty close to my idea of DLC "Enemy Within". And, as were noticed here it's perfect possibility to bring to game finally only one unrealized powerset from alpha - great & mighty Atomic.
    Only one note - for me Atomic better works as Tank powerset, than Controller, because I don't see here anything that can control enemies (probably except flashes, those can dazzle), drop aggro or shield allies. I prefer Atomic being as Tank, because here may implemented lower/raise density (I've idea in last time to make them toggle powers) and supercharge, that increases size (scale) of characters for a short time (based on Bane/Atom Smasher abilities). Ability to absorb energy just like radiate it, thus self-power-restoring tanking. Might & DoT based DPS (since after Rage appears 2 Prec-based tanks, while other powers only per 1 Prec-based, so logically make next tank Might-based).
    So as I can guess into Amazon Fury 2 could be brought Sound powers, based on Black Canary/Silver Swan. And Sound makes sense only as controller poweset. For War of Light 2 lantern healers surely. And because War of Light 2 just before Amazon Fury 2 pattern is runied, because game would get Healer power before Controller power. So tank power could be immediately before War of Light 2 or after Amazon Fury 2. But after Amazon Fury 2 - Halls of Power 2. And I think better make break between DLC's First and Second parts e.g. equal to 1 one-shot DLC. So game could get between Halls of Power 1 (Disk Movement) and War of Light 2 (Lantern Healers) DLC, that will add in game finally such missing important characters, like the Atom & Firestorm.
    I like idea of shrinking content. E.g. could be with characters the Atom (hero side) & Atom Smasher (villain side, he can grow, why not understand he become able to shrink as well).

    Recognize "True Blue"? Spytle, tell me please, is that going to DCUO or doesn't?

    it would be nice if when a player goes to inspect another player's character that it shifted the player displayed to the left like it does in the inventory menu and shows a little bio about the character and how they came to be what they are from the exobites. i think it would be a lot of fun not only to read another players bio, but creating them ourselves would be a lot of fun as well. i'm sure that a lot of us have stories behind our characters that we wish we could share!
  6. SuperiorMouse New Player


    guys, this is not meant to be a free-for-all suggestion thread where we post what we want from the game.

    Loche provided 3 different DLC outlines in the OP and the idea of this discussion thread, is that we follow those same outlines the way the groups at SOELive did, and create our own versions of the 3 specific DLCs provided. -- this is the community's opportunity to give feedback on those DLC concepts and say what we'd like to see from them and how we'd like them to happen.

    You don't have to be as detailed as I was, but you should post saying you'd like to see X characters in X DLC. And post saying that you want X feature with X styles to come with that DLC etc. at least.

    Love this .... but Jay Garrick? C'MON!!! Have we not all, (well most of us,) on these forums SCREAMED for Barry and or Wally? I apologize up front to all the Justice Society fans ... I understand he is the original, but ...... REALLY?!!?!?!?

    As someone said in my post about making Central City relevant .... if something like this were to come to pass, why not expand CC then. Add the newspaper building that Barry's wife works at. Add the police department where Barry works. Add a bit more space so that we could have a base there. I'm not asking for the zone to be as large as Metro or Gotham, but give us some space to run around and explore a little.

    I would say .... eventhough I'm not huge on base items, (THEY DROP WAY TOO MUCH!!) add a cosmic treadmill base item! Move the Lightning Strikes bounties into this revamped CC. And I think it would be cool, if possible, to add a Flash helm that isn't a helm. More like Flash or Wally's mask. Something in that vein with the wingtips on the side where we can see our mouth. Maybe put the Flash symbol on the armor chest, but make it like the Lantern armors coming up. Where the emblem stays the same color, but the suit's color can be changed. The T1 Flash armor is GREAT, but frustrating that the emblem changes color instead of just being the yellow lightning bolt on the white background. If WB/DC will let you .... that would be WONDERFUL!!!

    Again, I apologize to all the JSA fans .... but this game revolves around the JLA, mainly Supes, Bats, and Wonder Woman. Barry is a major part of the JLA. I for one want Barry in Legends!!!

    it's just that we want to post our ideas in a place that we know for sure the developers will see them.

    I am still waiting for the ability to convert complex > Simples, but not the other way around.

    Then I would finally be able to use all my complex materials taking up all my room in my inventory into simple materials for mods... A 4 to 1 ratio seems fair. 1 complex converts to 4 simples, but there should not be a conversion the other way around as it would destabilize the auction house.. :D
  14. Domenia New Player

    What about the Dev's go and pick up the aquman metropolis and circe mission and make it where heroes would have to fight against the aqua man forces like they did in the mission then go to stop circe or something like that and the villians would have to help his forces invade metropolis which would initiate a pvp raid type of thing that you would que for and the second raid would be to fight aquaman or fight circe legends would be aquaman and that sea master guy and the power could be a tank power which would be water with the 2 power tree's of tides and currents idk u get it tho lol

    Thousands of people'll be completely disappointed, if Water powers will be not Healer/DPS roles.

    l've next following ideas:
    1. Shock Guard! When player raised after being KO by other player, he become completely invulnerable for 2-3 secs. To use consumable, roll out or just block & wait when healer do his job.
    2. Pure Skill PvP! Without any tiers! All players have absolutely equal stats. Contest of their loadout/weapon & SKILLS of course, but not their armor! Consumables not allowed as well. Oh, wait skill-given stats no matter too, only for Weapon Combos, skills of PLAYER, but not character.
    3. Deathmatch PvP! Player devastates anyone he sees, without teams!

    Gotham Gang Wars:
    The Joker's preparations for his Gotham Gang Wars if finally commencing. With help from some of Gotham's most dangerous villains, the Joker and his friends are taking over Gotham City and slowly but surely warping Gotham into their own image. There is only one individual standing in Joker's way and that is Batman. Batman has called in a few friends as well. With the heroes standing by his side, can the Batman and his allies save Gotham before it is too late?

    This DLC will include:
    A new PVP zone where Gotham is slowly turning into a Joker themed area. This zone has two areas where heroes and villains can meet up and form groups and plan attacks. The point of this game is for villains and heroes to travel through-out the zone to various iconic themed areas and take it over. Once a specific alignment has taken over that area, an iconic will be summoned and a base of operations will be put on that area to protect it from the opposing side. Players can create Joker and Bat themed turrets as well as other useful weaponry to help them take over that area. Once the Iconic protecting that base is knocked out then the players can take over that area.

    2 new iconic styles based off of the Joker and Batman. There is also a small chance for players to receive a plan to create the knocked out Iconic's style. For example if the Penguin was knocked out, players would be able to create his rifle umbrella thanks to the plan.

    The ability to create new weapons such as turrets will be introduced. These plans can be purchased in the new PVP zone with Marks of Valor.

    The ability to switch between two weapons is introduced. This ability takes up a power slot to use it.

    2 new Legends characters are introduced and they are Poison Ivy and Batwoman. Two new Legends characters will also be added to the marketplace and they are Mr. Freeze and The Question.
