    Synchronised leveling? Geez...that's so fantastic. Totally gets rid of the issue of needinga  seperate character to play with if you are in a Duo team. What I wonder, is whether you can sync to another character on your own account? THis would mean that when I want to start a new character I can get to where I want to be powers wise quickly :-)

    
     

    This would be great for an acute altitis sufferer (enjoyer?) like me. No matter which toon I was on - they'd all be leveling! But here I go getting my hopes up...

    On character creation, you have to choose a weapon if your using gun abilities only.

     

    E.g.

    Create a new character

    Choose a archtype that has a gun in its power selection list

    Click Gun.

    Pros and Cons on the weapons

    Assault Rifle Pros: 3 shot burst, recharge rate is decent / Assault Rifle Cons: Inaccurate, Brawling Damage is a bit poor.

    Single Pistol Pros: Accurate, Fast both shot and brawl recharge rate. / Single Pistol Cons:Shots are weak.

    Rifle Pros: Accurate, Shots are Strong / Rifle Pros: Recharge rate is on moderate. Brawling is weak.

    any other gun choices? must have pros and cons

    
     

    As noted by Thanos, this makes sense for swords. Different swords have different fighting styles and you can do different moves with the same sword. Upward slash, downward slash, heavy blow, light & fast repeated slash, stab, whirl, etc. Some examples would the Scrapper Katana and Broad Sword powersets and the Tank Mace and Hammer powersets (ignoring the actual appearance of the weapon). However, guns are pretty much one-trick ponies.

    How many different ways can you shoot a shotgun? Or a rifle? Or a pistol? Sure, you just fire off a shot, or aim for a slower but more accurate shot. And use the gun as a club. But other than that, what else can you do? That's why CoX has the assault rifle - one weapon with multiple functions.

    Take a look at the Dual Pistol MM powerset. It makes a good MM power because you also get to summon thugs. If you don't get to call summon thugs, how do you fill the other poweslots?

    I don't want to totally knock your idea. It would be pretty cool if choosing your weapon affected your fighting style. I just think your firearm idea could use a little more development.

• • Microsubscriptions?

  • It's supposed to blend in with the rest of the background. In most fantasy games, it really wouldn't make sense to see an ad for Air Jordans or Fruit Loops or iPods. Why would you have an ad for a contemporary product in a Medieval/Renaissance/Victorian era?

    However, with the contemporary setting of CoX, such advertisements actually fit. I don't always read them them, but both Paragon City and the Rogue Isles are covered with posters and billboards and warehouses and trucks. Heck - there's even a blimp in Atlas Park! Why not use those spaces to generate revenue instead of just filling them with the same old shlock?

    A further extension of this would be to allow these 3rd parties to actually have store fronts in the cities. Maybe even cheesy (sp?) "Trolls have raided Nike warehouse" missions. Oh Lawdy, I hope it doesn't come to that...
