Probably means something more like this (as a 2 minute example)

What I don't like about it: nothing gets close to 59% when you throw shadow meld (other than s/l/melee, naturally). f/c/e/n only barely get over normal softcap when you use it.
Also, s/l isn't quite softcapped, but the build could be tweaked to get it higher (again, just a rough build).

Maybe I'm biased towards building for positional because I run a katana/regen , and in that particular instance the builds work out better if build that way.
The only other regen I have is an ancient spines/regen, and he's been benched for years, so my play experience for regens, outside of kat/regen, is fairly outdated.

One of those: Yaa!-aww
moments

finally got it out of someone.

It doesn't really help much, but since you don't really need crane kick, you could switch it for taunt and just use 4 slots of perfect zinger for that 5%.
That frees up 1 slot, which unfortunately doesn't do much, maybe slot it to get some more DDR or something.
*or*
You could use crane kick in the chain, and instead sacrifice cobra strike, slotting in it a stupefy instead for 1.25% more recharge (.6 seconds more off of elude).

and put them in my thread, please? I need hard data!

these are mostly people *new* to PvP (Zwillinger is one of them), not people still raging about how the new system is trash, but continue to use it anyway.

Our PvP has the potential to be absolutely amazing, and I guarantee that after i21, many of the new players will ask about it and help push for a revamp. Heck, they could make pvp accessible from the store if they wanted to. It'd be one way to keep the haters out.

They list "control duration" because this set can be slotted into any control power. It's like a universal travel set, for control powers. That's how all of these sets work, apparently.
Remember these IOs are all unique like purples. You can only have 1 entire set.

Figured it'd be a good idea since there's so much info. (Also, Ryxx is on his honeymoon this week, so when he gets back he's got a lot of reading to do. Figured I'd make it easier on him).

It's not really combos like it was for DB, it's more like... a mix between KM and DB. Every one of your "combo" attacks makes your "finisher" attacks have increased (or additional, not sure yet) secondary effects (hopefully moar damage is a secondary effect for some of them).
So it's more like... every combo power is also like a mini power boost, up to 3 stacks, and BU itself puts you at 3 stacks instantly, so there's still no harm in just doing a BU - finisher - finisher - finisher.

Edit: Not sure why I just double posted. Now I feel like GG.

I actually don't understand how it can be quantified due to various recharge timers between essentially all powers. Unless the proc chance increases proportionally as recharge increase, then sure, that's great, but if it's a static proc like we currently have, then the wording is pointless.
Also it doesn't say how much damage >:[ just "minor X damage type."
I hate words, I want numbers!

This means discussing prices in this thread is pointless. ggkthx.

From what I've found so far screenshot wise (note the new UI for power selection. This also goes for all character creation and tailor sessions):
Beam Rifle powers:

You will have to purchase Beam Rifle using PPoints if you want it.
Time Manipulation Powers:

Time manipulation is a free set. Everyone gets it.
Street Justice Powers (stalker version, still nothing on the other 3 melee ATs):

Street Justice is like Beam Rifle. You have to buy it if you want it (Titan weapons will be the same I do believe)

Two screenshots, a Beam rifle shot and the t9 for Street Justice. Also notice the weird looking building in the Uppercut screenshot:



A Shot of the new Atlas, with the purchasable costume slots, and as Ms. Liberty being a tailor now.


New AT Specific IOs. They set their level to your current level (like purples, only better). They have magical set bonuses, awesome enhancement values, and awesome (or average) procs. (Unfortunately, we don't have all the sets yet, and we don't know how we're getting them. Just that they exist).







Note: Many of the IO sets we currently have are being used in these shots as well. Some of which (decimation for example) don't actually go to level 50, but they are in these screenshots. We're not sure if that's part of a new system (hopefully something more simple, like all IOs level up with you, like the AT specific ones), or if it's a byproduct over overusing the enhancement levlers (which do work on IOs up to some unspecified point), or if it's just Dev hacks that put things like that into their beta. No actual info so far.

Here's a video that I haven't watched yet:
http://uk.gamespot.com/pc/rpg/cityof...on-panel-full-
Sounds important.

I think this link is just a clip from the above video, not sure as I haven't watched both yet
http://comic-con.gamespot.com/video/...es%3Btitle%3B6

This is the new inside of City Hall. I'm pretty sure that's Jack Wolfe in the background. Also, some new looking contact over by the SG base table. He actually looks kind of like Positron... but I can't really tell.


This is just outside of Atlas himself, you can see some of the remodeling on the sides.

Mercy only received minor face lifts, if any. The story itself has been reworked on both sides (not so many freakin snakes redside, now), and you actually start out in Mercy itself, not in Fort ArachnosOwnsThisIsleYo.
Both sides also have new story arcs that can act as sort of a long-term (19ish level) tutorial for newish players to help them get a better understanding of how the game works. Or something.
It was discussed briefly on UStream.

They are turning our typical "Sewer runs" into a freakin low level trial, totally accessible through a LFG que (which is awesome). The trial rewards are fairly groovy as well. Definitely worth running a few times


There "was" a video put on the forums last night that had Staff Melee, claiming to be legitimate from beta. The video has long been deleted, and any remnants of it on these forums have been wiped from teh interblagz.
I personally don't think it was legit, but whatever. We have plenty of new stuff without a hush-hush melee set that we probably don't need at the moment.

...anyway...

There will be expanded powers in pool power sets, and you will be able to choose a travel power at level 4, rather than 14. lvl 20 pool powers will still require that you have 2 prerequisites, however, so if you want weave or invoke panic, you'll still have to take the trash powers too.


^Some useful information concerning afterburn and hoverboard (Hoverboard is to fly as walk is to sprint, or whatever. it's totally just for RPers unfortunately).
Afterburn is like quantum flight-ish. Mag X only affecting self, fly superfast - you don't detoggle or anything. Also adds about 14% defense.

This is about all I have concerning the travel powers:
So far, I'm not sure if nontravel pool powers are getting additional powers or not. I imagine they will in the future if they aren't yet, but so far I've read nothing concerning the others.
(The only other thing mentioned that seemed important was the ability to take aid self without aid other/stimulant. If that's true, yay).

Reward tokens are the replacements for Veterancy. Paragon Points are our Store Currency. They are not the freakin same thing


The most expensive thing in the store (currently known, with current beta prices) is 10 more enhancement slots. That's not slots for powers, that's enhancements slots in your tray. As in, you can hold 20 enhancements at any time now. Awesome for respeccing.
Oh, also it's account wide. So it's worth the (currently 1600 points).

~~
That's pretty much everything I've gone through so far. There were some tree diagrams of the Player Tiers and stuff related to the PPs and Tokens... but I don't remember where I saw them, and I'm tired. So, feel free to post any other information you happened upon, or if you're Fista (or anyone else that went), feel free to give us MOAR INFO NAO.
kthx

More often than once, being on a scrapper, I have found myself desperately trying to jump away from AM as soon as the warning comes up and failing to make it out. Unfortunately, if you're surrounded by freakin MM and lore pets, it can be really, REALLY hard to actually get out of there just because of the charlie foxtrot you have to swim through. This is why I still think the timer should be a *bit* longer before it actually touches down, it's horrible for melee types. As is the stupid blue/red thing. Rangers can spread out, meleers can't. Mark's idea of red melee blue range was a good theory, but as far as I've seen, it just doesn't work in practice.

~And yes, please. Spread the word. If you are obliterated, tell your freakin league asap, and DO NOT FREAKIN RUN AWAY. ggkthx

I read this as "As a note, I took my WM/Energy Brute,"
and thought, "Strong and Pretty, eh?


on a different note, All I have saved from prior powerset posts was a list of potential sets by Posi:
Akimbo Pistols, Demon Summoning, Electric Hammer, Force Control, Magnetic Blast, Magnetism, Psionic Weaponry, Shield Defense, Shield Melee, Street Fighting

How many of those have we gotten so far?

~Edit: The date on this notepad file was made was 8/21/2007, if that matters.
