Don't get me wrong, I don't think it will happen. But people said for a while that power customization and emailing items to yourself wouldn't happen either. But they both did.

So making definitive statements like you did aren't really worth much, if anything at all.

Also, there is no mention of a possible Stalker iteration and with the two aura powers, this might make it difficult (or at least requiring the creation of a new power). That Stalkers already miss out on Shield Defense is bad enough, it'd be nice that people at least acknowledge the AT when creating sets for a melee AT.

Now, comparing the two accolades - for 5% extra END:
Villainside:
Two explorations and a history, that can be done solo.
A defeat, that can be done solo.
An accomplishment that can be done solo.
An Achivement - that requires a SF.

Heroside:

Exploration, that can be done solo.
History, that can be done solo.
Accomplishment, that can be done solo.
Two defeats, that can be done solo (and typically will be reached through normal gameplay.)

Yes, that seems like a disparity there. Honestly, I don't think I've ever *done* an LRSF. I can completely understand the idea that equivalent rewards should be given equivalent tasks.

There is also historical precedent - Born in Battle used to have a requirement to spend five hours in a PVP zone. No heroside accolade required exposure to PVP for so long - and with them moving the liasons out of the PVP zones, the developers had shown they understood some people didn't like dealing with PVP. The friction over the requirements for that badge (especially when they were *broken* for so long and not awarding properly for time in zone) led to them removing that requirement. (Still requires going in for an exploration and history badge, but given the limited number of zones redside overall, that requirement's nowhere near as onerous.)

Accolades have been reduced to more-equitable requirements before. This is not a request from out in left field.

As far as Task Force Commander - That, really, I don't agree with. It's for running task forces. The requirements are the same, even if the levels aren't.

If I were to make a water-themed character it would be more fitting to use Energy Aura than it would to use Ice because at least Energy Aura can kind of look like water.

And what "answers" have you given me? Besides pure "lol ur ideaz r dumb cuz they wud look stoopid" type of BS?

Do you really doubt the power of water? I don't even want water blast sets. I am more interested in armor and melee powers.

About as valid as saying "assault rifles are guns therefore we don't need pistols" or "broadsword is metal therefore we don't need claws or dual blades". Water, and water-based comic characters, act quite different from ice or freeze rays. It doesn't freeze you, for example. It's a liquid, not a solid, is another one.

And why wouldn't Elasticity, as I've described, "work the way I am thinking"? I keep hearing people say it's "not possible" to code. Well, of course it isn't, if you're a proponent of wanting stretching limbs that match your character's costume. That's not what I'm suggesting. It's an animation. That's about it. Nothing special besides that. I never once mentioned your arms disappearing while you did the animation or your arms extending out to slap the enemy in the face. It's basically a projectile with some polygons in it and some particle effects surrounding it, all of which can be colored to better match your costume. If it helps, you could think of it as teleportation melee or a super-speed punch or even anime-style "chi fist projection" crapola or something like that.

I just know that, if given a powerset like that, I would totally use it to make a rubberman.
