Can't deal with the Villain ATs..never liked them and with the defenders getting a damage buff in the current issue i thought It would be fun to roll one for pvp.
-
I mostly go hero, I'm working on a ice/storm control. (Only to be annoying really) but I was wondering what types are best for pvp and what not. Made a broadsword/WP scrap but apparently Willpower is crap. I was gonna go for Invin and try another set maybe. Also with defenders getting a damage buff I was wondering what would be a good secondary? I was thinking traps as a primary. Was gonna try to soft cap then unload the force field with enhancements.

Please understand (I am sure others have made this point by now, but just in case)...
No one is (or at least no one should be) opposed to costume pieces, power sets, etc. that have a look and feel tied to some Origin related theme. More robotic pieces? Excellent. Mechanical transforming limb powers? Nifty. Mystic looking passes linked to a power? Wondrous.
But let anyone, any Origin, use them. Deciding how they fit the character concept is the player's turf. So if there is a powerset using (to name one perennial suggestion) a staff that can be used to whale on people in melee and project energy of some kind, like a "classic" RPG wizard staff, that would be cool. Especially if the colors of the projection can be customized, and the staff itself comes in different models, like other weapons, so one could have a Kirby-esque techy powerstaff, or a wooden quarterstaff, or even a Baseball Bat of the Gods.
No reason to say "it is a wizard's staff and only Magic Origin can use it."
THAT is the link to Origins that a lot of us reject. -
Quote:I wouldn't be upset if they didn't make a powerset but if they SOME how..made assault rifle with the transforming arms..that would be awesome. The whole powerset could be used with them. If they did add transforming arms as alt animations. (Somehow) It can work with most of the blasting moves.Originally Posted by Ad Astra
And the whole process of animating transformation is really not at all tied to being origin-specific.
It's tied to whether it would be a good use of BaBs (and minions) developer time to make those animations, and whether it needs a whole new powerset attached or if those animations could be made as alternate animations for exisitng powers.
Alternate animations for existing powers has been discussed down in S&I on more than one occasion (usually in the context of "magic wands" but your transforming arm cannon is the same thing with a different flavor).
So you might want to go look for those discussions and add your voice to a couple.
Basically, I think you weren;t asking the true question, but now hopefully we have helped you refine it to something closer to what you want (transforming arm cannons, etc., not necessarily a "tech-origin-specific" powerset). -
Quote:If they added transforming body pieces to the game I would love that. I suppose it doesn't have to be tied to tech but the whole process of animating the transformation. I don't think that would happen.Originally Posted by Dechs Kaison
That's a much larger issue than being an origin specific powerset.
Still. I could have a magically trasnforming arm. Or I could have a mutation that allowed me to augment myself with robotic pieces.
There's still no reason to limit the origin. -

You have something like that in the game. Roll an EAT.

Quote:I suppose this whole thing came up when going to make a robot. Yeah I can mix and match a bunch of costume pieces, mix and match powersets but nothing feels SUPER robotic to me. I like the idea of the transforming arm pieces hidden weapons. Stuff like that. It comes from to much terminator and giant robot shows. (Even though I saw a pretty damn good gundam costume in atlas). Thats all. That is what I had in mind. I wasn't trying to upset anyone by asking this but I myself wanted to know why they would be so bad.Originally Posted by Dechs Kaison
I honestly want to know why you want power sets for certain origins only.
We have robotics. That's about as "certain" as it gets, but as I said, there is no reason to limit it to tech origin only.
What more do you want? -
People have their reasons for not wanting them, I just wanted to know why. The main issue seems people just don't want to have something restricting their creativity. I suppose thats a good enough reason. Oh well, even though I would like to see something like that added to the game, I wouldn't want to see something like that ruin gameplay for others.
I got what I need. -
I'm not trolling but what I actually meant was power sets for certain origins. I honestly wanted to know. I never really got an answer besides the rp argument.

Quote:I did not ask this because I'm bored with the current powersets. I ask because I wanted to know why people thought it was so terrible. Honestly, I would like to see a powerset where you can shoot missiles or something. I can't really wrap myself around why because from what I heard so far is it would take away from RP aspects. I'm pretty sure people have worked around origins before regardless of what they picked I don't see why it would be so hard to do it now.Originally Posted by Substrate
currently (and I might be wrong on this) but there is like some 580+ combination currently possible with all the ATs and powersets. So it will be a long time before we start running out of new things to try.
-
Theres my problem. I was typing for 4 I didn't know it went from 0-3
-
I don't know, it feels like generic power sets will get boring sooner or later. Sticking to elements and a couple weapons. Where do we expand from there?
-
I can't get them to work at all. I'm trying to behind them to F9-12. Is that why?
-
Quote:I mean, in the suggestions forum. People have suggested a robotic type powerset and a magic one where you use ruins and what not. What would be wrong with ideas like this?Originally Posted by Necrotech_Master
because origins are kind of pointless at this point in the game, honestly if they just got rid of the origins entirely, i honestly wouldnt really care, but i doubt they will be going away for RP reasons and since they are already tied to so many other things in game (like SO/DO and if you do bonus dmg with vet ranged attacks)
-
What I don't get is why things HAVE to be for every origin. I still don't see why these types of ideas should be limited?
-
I don't really have the time to do that, but I was wondering why so I thought I'd ask before it eats away at me.
-
Why are people so against them?
-
When a travel power is added to the game, it is balanced in every aspect. Being able to be phased and in the ground would unbalance pvp. How would someone knock you out the ground or would you damage the dirt as you dig? For you to be unable to attack while you were under ground would also make it harder for you to fight back.

I would love a shoulder fur for dudes...I want to make a hunter!
-
Can't be done. I've asked before. I don't know :/. Honestly I want something like this. We don't have any "Non" super powered travel powers in the power pool.
