Portal Pipe Dreams

A place to document pipe dream implementations to add in as Mods or Features into City of Heroes.

Feature: Nemesis Plot

A Cool Idea by ChrisKitsch

It turns out all of this was a nemesis plot.
Similar to the random NPC interactions during some limited events and storyarcs, this delves deeper into a possible Nemesis Plot. But maybe the real Nemesis Plot is the friends we make along the way...

Feature: NPC Hero Population

A Cool Idea by Zethfox
I would like to see if its possible to code ai logic and a system that a persons alts could be seen traveling around and sometimes engaging mobs on the streets of the appropriate level that charecter is, and can be seen entering different building and such. 
Something to create a little more life on sparsely populated servers
Plus the excitement of running into your own alt would be wonderful
There would be no gain from it except just visual, unless it could become something of a "team with your ai controlled alts" by inviting the ones you find running around to your team

NPC Heroes that fight or move around an active city map.
They can be recruited to join as an ally/sidekick/teamup A LA NPC Buddy
And they could be generated from offline player characters on the current server, or even get datafeeds/characters from other servers to populate in
Introducing a Team-Up mechanic would be very cool to have on smaller servers to give that "Team" vibe even if one is not available

Powerset: Doppleganger

by ChrisKitsch

Variation to Mastermind and their Pets, this archetype would have the ability to spawn duplicates of themselves to fight alongside them. 

Powerset: Whips

Inspired by the demonic summoning mastermind, create a weapon-based melee powerset based on Whips

Epic Archetype: Primalist

Complete the unfinished EAT Primalist.
