Bases and Apartments.

I know in City of there were Super Group Bases, and even in SWTOR there are now bases or even guild ships. I think that is a great thing to add into this game. It can even lead to cool PVP action with base raids.

So my idea is for the character who is a solo act. Give them the ability to buy, and outfit an apartment, or even a penthouse.
Use a few standardized instances from a small hole in the wall efficiency apartment, to a full on multi-room penthouse complete with a view of the map they are in. This gives the player a sense of immersion in the world because now they have this anchor point for the character. It also gives them a place to RP that fits their story line.

Just a thought.

I think the ability to unlock things for both personal apartments plus hideouts/SG bases will need to be a big thing.

I really want the ability to have a basic apartment which can include big penthouses and small hole in the wall or an advances place that's like maybe an apartment that has a secret door and takes you to a hidden lair with personal bank access etc. For the non-public heroes.

But I'd wants Sims level of decorating like allow me to get a basic assortment of things and then add to them with my various adventures and not just mission rewards for replaying them but also as accolade/perk unlocks.

What I think would be the most awesome thing ever devised in any game - which SWG came the closest, but not actually inside a city... would be able to attain an apartment - rgardless of how easy or difficult, but to be able to look out my apartment / base window... and see the city!

Probably too much load on the servers, etc. to have housing actually integrated as online all the time / integral instance with the main world anytime someone is in their space... but wow would it be cool. Just a thought.

If you look at the Project Goals page HERE, at phase 4 they plan to add something like what you mentioned.

"League Buildings: To further expand the league system, players will be able to acquire and customize buildings for thier Leagues to call their own. These will have various mechanics all their own that will improve the functionality of League play."

I agree it would be fun to have a more personal living space, mostly just for the role playing element. What I would love to see them implement with the league buildings is a way to hang pictures on walls of screenshots you take in game.
Viewtiful!

As old of a game as swg was there really isn't a reason why modern games couldn't do the same thing. swg didn't even have a very optimal engine like what's available now.
In something like this game it could simply be certain skyscrapers have full interiors with apartment rooms you could buy and once you enter that room the contents of the room download and remain loaded on your machine until you leave.

It appears they listened to what I said about implementing the crafting system with the strongholds, allowing you to build all kinds of different base defences and decorations as it was something I loved from CoH, but I would've loved to have seen the ability to have wild animals as guards, imagining if your stronghold was getting invaded, the enemies would have to fight and shoot their way through your enemies before they got to the end, like in Epic Quest for Mighty Loot where with your gold you got to hire bosses, minions and traps to take out any attackers.

However, instead as this is a Super hero MMO you could have your own custom group of defenders instead which would be very interesting and make attacking each new base VERY different.

player apartments and guild halls are just a beginning. If you want to do new things no other game has you will need a guild space ship where you can travel to another planet.

Well... in all fairness, you could do that to some degree in SWG - JTL (Jump to Lightspeed). You could get together with friends or guildmates and spiff up a space yacht. Build it up into an unbelievable space-going vessel, and have a blast.
The flip-side is... there were a lot of freaks throwing out personal 'invites' to their personal yachts. lol

But VO will be a futuristic superhero MMO. The combination of science fiction and superheroes is really fresh and interesting. I hope they focus on the spaace exploration part because no other superhero game is doing this.
They could also win some sci-fi oriented gamers.

Yeah I agree. I think that in the first place, you have a large population that still wonders 'what would it have been like' with the whole moon base dilemma back in CoH. On top of that, there is a lot of potential with Space and just our own solar system that would really be awesome. Of course aliens are fun, but Heroes in space .. awesome :)

I think they should've instead build a underwater world in CoH. I wanted to know more about the mysterious Coralax, a species who are often created by someone falling into the water and being exposed to something. Captain Mako's lacky was one of them too and the mission on Sharkhead Isle you had to fight it's eye, made of the magical Coral of that island.

I think it would've been quite interesting, especially considering how powerful this unknowable entity was, but that's just my opinion.

On the idea of heading into space, it would be interesting to see if they managed to do this and what kind of new worlds we'd expect. That was a real strength from Swtor, especially with worlds like Voss where as you walk in the wilds and listen to the music you really do feel like you are on a alien world. I mean you obviously are, but it gave you a sense of atmosphere and that you were on a very alien place.

My big fear with opening up some kind of space exploration and "other planets" would be scope creep. In any case, it'll be interesting to see how they handle this, as I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that some kind of Moon map/base was (at least) on the table.
