    One of the reasons I am going to make SS/SD and SS/Inv are because of their strong taunt auras. That and they're some of my most favorite Secondaries available to Scrappers!

    Petition to see if you can get another rename token.

    From Synapse's post earlier, it sounds like they're committed to getting the other sets proliferated over.

    How long it takes is up in the air. We can definitely let them know what we'd like to be in the next round of proliferation though.

    Pulling my hair out over Ice Armor only for Stalkers, but overall too pleased to be extremely bothered by it.
    This is one time where being wrong feels soooo good.

    I really wish that Ice Armor was for Scrappers/Brutes too. They even solved the duplicate Hibernate problem that Scrappers/Stalkers have with the new Tier 9: Icy Bastion.

    Oh well. For another round, 4.0 perhaps.

    Having it be like Spines/Claws is exactly how I envisioned it. I think that would be thrilling! They could even allow the Scrapper to choose an element to enchant the blade with, sorta like Swap Ammo for Dual Pistols. Spark Blade for example, uses an electrified blade.

    Man, I have been waiting for that set for a looooong time. I hope that gun and blade set is for Scrappers/Brutes/Tanks/Stalkers too.

    It'd be reeeeaaaally close though. And yes, the maxed out crits would be rare, but EPIC.

    But, the brute would also be tougher. A lot.
    Luckily not all of us need to play that way.

    Once upon a time we had developers that worked here who are currently not, well, working here anymore.

    With stuff like Super Strength on their way to Scrappers eventually, this question will boil down to "Compared to what Scrapper Primary/Secondary set?" more than it already has. Also can't wait for Stone Melee. I've had a few ideas kicking around for Scrapper characters on several of the sets that we don't have yet and I'll finally be able to make some of them starting with I21.

    I too would love to finally see Power Customization finished, but I'm not holding my breath for it in I21.

    The answer is HELL YES.

    This is of course, with Time Manipulation coming in I21 and Titan Weapons after. What a freakin' great lineup.

    I also want to say that I absolutely approve of this addition and can find nothing about it complain about. All things considered, this is a very pleasant change of pace.
    All of these sets being proliferated seriously add a ridiculous amount of playtime to the game for me. Powerset Proliferation 3.0 could easily be a half-point Issue for me and I'd be completely happy with it. This is just another indication that I21 launch is going to be HUGE.

    Still, cool weapon and I hope it ends up in the game.
    Even simple flat shapes still need some polygons for texturing and lighting reasons. I'm more animator than a modeler, but I really want a Vanguard Titan Weapon when the set is released so I thought I'd put in a small amount of effort to give a little nudge to the developers.

    Many thanks to Zwillinger for passing that on to them!

    I suspect Super Strength and Ice Armor for Scrappers will be part of the Powerset Proliferation 4.0, whenever that is. Whatever we may get next, I'll probably make some character outta the new toys!
  21. bAss_ackwards
    I'm hoping whatever Doms get is so awesome that it makes up for the lack of proliferation in 3.0!

    Major props from me. I'd love to see that in-game.
    Thanks! Here's the wireframe for the model:

    Far too dense with polygons on the hilt, but I only made it quickly for concept purposes.
  23. bAss_ackwards
    I'd probably make a Super Strength/Shield Defense or a Super Strength/Invulnerability Scrapper. OR BOTH.
