Geko gives us a taste of I6...

'As I write this, I am glancing over my shoulder to my white board. On the left in bright blue is a spot reserved for future power sets. Some have been there a long time, and may never happen for technical reasons. Recently erased are Archery, Trick arrow, Sonic Attack, and the CoV power sets like Plant Control and Robotics. At the top of the list are ones you can expect in the near future (names are all pending): Street Fighting, Electrical Melee, Electrical Armor, Shields (melee and defense versions), new Henchmen for CoV Masterminds, and a new techno defense set for CoV Stalkers. There is a fairly good chance you will see many of these in the next Update. Some will be shared in both CoV and CoH, and some will be exclusive to one or the other.'

Many of these in the next Update!?!

No pistol scrappers make Rkik something something.

Yes!

Hmm, no Water AT or Magnetisim AT (guess the latter got scrapped completely), and no talk of the Epic ATs. Interesting post.

I am eager to find out wha the "theme" is gunna be for I6.

A "techno defense set"? Now that sounds rather intriguing. I'm making a Dominator AND a Stalker in CoV first thing, and for the Stalker, I had just about resigned to going with Ninjitsu, the closest to the concept...but techno defense? Assuming they don't mean the Prodigy/Alec Empire/Shamen meaning of techno (although THAT would be cool as hell, lol), I wonder what that could entail?

Oh man, some sort of tech defense and a Ninja Sword for my Stalker? S W E E T! I put this little smiley in most of my posts, but I mean it this time:

Not to be a bubble buster but.... how can anyone get giddy when we are still suffering with the I5 bugs?! Yeah they may get MOST of them fixed by then... but then just another wave of the same in I6? I5 was promised to be "ready when it's ready" and it has been the most bugged yet! AHHHHHHH (runs screaming into the night)

Is there a superlative for DOOOOOOMMMMMM????

DeathstrikeII · 09-13-2005 12:49 PM

Interesting. So since the big white board has both CoV and CoH ATs listed on it, does that mean that the devs are now working as one big team for both projects instead of a CoH team and a CoV team? Also, his answer seemed to indicate that power sets like plant are going to be CoV only. Is this the case? I would really like to see some CoH crossover on these types of powersets. After all, it isn't the power that makes you good or bad....it's how you use it

GRRRRRRRRRRRRRR. PISTOL SCRAPPERS BEFORE ALL ELSE!

Circuit_Shorter · 09-13-2005 01:58 PM

I desire for pistol scrappers as well. However, you have to wonder -- on the graph he was talking about for finding balance of powersets, is range a factor for scrappers? Because if not, I imagine balancing pistols would be very difficult.

Just a thought...

CaptScar · 09-13-2005 02:05 PM

Street Fighting FTW!!!!!!!!!!!!!111111111oneamcgremlin1

Actually pistols would be cool, too, but I'm not digging that as much as many of you seem to. I would like to see a hand-to-hand melee combat power that doesn't begin with the word "DARK". All this darkity dark stuff is wearing thin to me in a superhero game. Especially once CoV hits the market, every other character is going to be "Dark".

Um - I think Geko meant "in the coming updates." I'm not sure whether any of these will make it into I6 or not - so let's not set up any expectations!

Revolver · 09-13-2005 02:08 PM

I'm still on the edge of my seat though.

CaptScar · 09-13-2005 02:09 PM

That's cool! As long as it comes at some time. Heck, There still so many combo's I have yet to play....
