If I were a Dev for a day....

Learn.  I want to learn what goes on behind the scenes.  Why do we wait?  What are the basics of their internal testing?  What do they DO all day?  I think a better understanding of what they do and what their "Balance Vision" is, would go a long way towards a better player base.

Now, if I had the POWER of a Dev...  I'd give myself an AT with ALL the powersets and AV Endurance.
 
Personally, i would change MA to incorporate EM.  I would LOVE to do the burst Dmg with all the secondary effects of MA.  And just to top it all off, i would also give MA a conserve power clickie that could be made perma with quickness and hasten.  Then (just because i feel like being greedy) I would let Stealth and Invis stack, take away the only effect self portion of Invis.  That ways I could actually be a decent Stalker that heros would fear.
 
Greedy bastard. If we're going there I want a Dmg increase along with normal speed when in Rooted and Granite.  I figure, if I'm strong enough to turn into a rock, I should be strong enough to walk at a normal pace.  And since I'm a big piece of granite, I should hit harder.  Whens the last time you got hit softer with a rock?
 
Well, to be completly honest,  the last person who hit me with a rock wasnt able to open his eyes for a good little while....so i dont know
 
Thats neither here nor there.  But now back to the topic...

I would also add in to the test server a LvL slider when making your toon ie; pick AT, pick powersets and first powers, build characture/costume, and right before you zone into breakout, you pick your starting lvl.  I think that would be a cool way to do things.  But to limit people from doing it too much, i think that it could be a once a week type thing and the char that you made would automatically delete after say 3 hours in game time.
 
I kinda agree with the level slider thing but I'd rather see it stay around a little longer so that you can truly test the different powers in varing situations/environments.  Also, make a max level cap and allow 2-3 "slides".  You start out able to start at a max of say 15-20.  You stay there for a few hours of play and then can opt to bump it again.  This way, the devs can do the datamining on the levels they need yet players still don't have to grind on test to get higher level content.
 
Hey this is MY idea, you make your own lol

But I'm so much better at refining your thoughts.  You give the rough sketch and I make it a gorgeous gem of brilliance.  Its my lot in life.

Just remember, it was your thought to begin with.  I can't make a diamond out of clay pal.  I only work with what I'm given.
 
I would make Hell the equivilent of a Giant Monster and give him the following powers:

<span style="font-weight: bold;">Death Star:</span> You summon an enormous ball of negative energy that destroys everything within the radius of the impact. Click

Gehenna: The flames of Hell errupt around you, incinerating anything foolish enough to be caught in the blast. Click

<span style="font-weight: bold;">Armageddon: </span>You summon multiple demon overlords and lich's to do your bidding.&nbsp; They will seek out and destroy your enemies. Click

<span style="font-weight: bold;">Oblivion: </span>The soul of any fallen foes around you are ripped from their bodies and absorbed by you to increase your power. Toggle

MUWAHAHAHAHA

Megalomaniac anyone????
 
I would make stomp not sux..

Anyway i would implement more of storyline into this game (more cut scenes, arc that tie in with other arcs etc) and would also make miss were we have to fight a group of AV (who have EB like stats) rather than just 1 AV at a time.
