Hmmm, how would a Shield/Shield tanker work anyways?

It'd be like Captain America, with two shields

Like Underworld? Then take a look at! http://moonid.net/account/recruitmen.../monstersgame/

Neither are in I7 (fyi)...BUT Geko and I have talked a little about Shields. We're thinking that Shields would be a Primary AND a Secondary Power Set for Tankers - and a Primary Set for Scrappers...but this thinking might change. I'd imagine the set is mostly about Defense, but again, nothing has been designed yet.

Soo wait there are no new powersets in I7, or is he just talking about 2 certain powers (shields and what else?)

BlackMagic_NA · 01-22-2006 02:45 PM

I think he means just those two aren't in I7.

Soltares · 01-23-2006 08:47 PM

Gosh, I'd still love to see some weapon styles for Brutes.

Ball and Chain, or Halberd / Poleax would make my day, something big and impressive looking.

That and Shapeshifting or Duplication-based power-sets for Scrappers / Stalkers. Mmm...

Thugs definitely sounds interesting. I've been wanting to make a mafia-themed Mastermind.

BlackMagic_NA · 01-23-2006 11:06 PM

I just saw Underworld Evolution and now I kind of want to see a powerset with like nail attacks. Not quite claws, something with maybe a few claw attacks and some punch attacs maybe. Something for werewolf fans . Is that an infringement at all?

P.S. In case you're wondering, if you liked the first Underworld, I think you'll like the new one.

Secondary for Scrappers PLEASE Statesman. Think of how cool a BS Scrapper will look with the whole Paladin thing going on!

[/ QUOTE ]
Hell yeah Geko!
That's the first thing that came to mind to me as well when i first read Shields were being considered... i don't have a BS scrapper now, and i won't make a Shield scrapper either... but one who has both? Definitely!!! (do it to please us D&D/LotR/Fantasy geeks Statesman, pretty please )

[/ QUOTE ]

Lil problem with that though. Could you have both out at the same time? That'd be a lot of re-drawing each weapon each time you used either. Now if ya could have both out at the same time, then yeah, that'd be flippin' awesome.

wow, that really got me thinking about what a toon would be like if it were mirroring the other toon in combat, even in a small way. like a few "open powers" that are reflections or close/useful powers of whats being used against the toon in a scaled form. as well as a few powers needed just to provide known quantities to use. it might be a learning curve but it still makes me smile just thinking about it in sirens call....stalker as'd you? placate him
defender just drained your end? debuff the crap out of her.
one question though, what do two 'mirrors' see in combat? hmmmmmm

Does anyone else here think that Street Fighting is useless and they should just remake MA to include both punches and kicks together??

Because just like how an all kicking power set is annoying, wouldnt an all punching set be just as dumb??

[/ QUOTE ]

Isn't that called Super Strength?

No, I think Street Fighting is supposed to have a mixture of punches and kicks.

The_RaZ · 01-24-2006 09:52 AM

Probably an Eye-Gouge and a Shot-to-the-Nards too!

Dominators don't need mitigation from their secondaries. Even if they did, there's ice (slows), psi (-recharge), and fire and elec (death).

I heard they are adding Jedi.

Should make the game much much better like it did for SWG.

Give us some knees and elbows, ground and pound!

I've been thinking of this and just can't stop, we have the ability to create a werewolf, but no "fitting" powers for him. I think we should look deep in our hearts and give the brutes/stalkers monster melee sets.

This is what real claws look like.... claws

mmmmmmm smell that blood

antenna · 01-25-2006 11:28 AM

didnt read all pages so sorry if this has been brought up before. When council was first added and htey had their big fights, in zones like talos, they had both Sonic and Shield baddies in the mobs. way before sonic was added and i guess before they even thought of shields the council shield guys would pull out a big shield, kneel then they would be unaffectable. if there's no shield sets then what were they?

I wonder if you'd consider a different approach rather than some sort of ratio between defense and resistence. For example, maybe the shield blocks (resists) slashing and lethal while providing defense versus fire and dark. Or maybe resistance vs. melee and defense vs. ranged.

Basically something to signify that certain attacks are blocked by the shield (and shield arm) and others are avoided (deflected or dodged).

Just a thought.

TJHOVANT · 05-02-2006 06:53 AM

TJ TELLING YOU HOW IT IZ TELLING YOU LIKE IT IS

They're 'Signature Characters' and thus not necessarily constrained by what's available for players. Just keep that in mind.

In the case for "semi-false" advertising...how is a casual shopper/video watcher meant to know that?

I didn't see a "WARNING: You can't actually do most of the things in this video in game" sort of thing.

I wants me some Shield. I have a fevor and the only prescription is Shield.. I wonder how hard it would be technical standpoint

Aett_Thorn · 09-01-2006 05:10 PM

It was scrapped over it, that's for sure. What is with you and finding really old threads to necro today?

We won't be getting shields anytime soon.

BlackMagic_NA · 09-01-2006 05:34 PM

About the new sets though, do you think maybe they'll do some transfers? Like bringing Ninjitsu to Scrappers and whatnot?

Aett_Thorn · 09-01-2006 06:09 PM

Ninjitsu will probably remain as Stalker's unique powerset. Much as plant will probably stay on Dominator's side. I'm really hoping that the new sets that are coming out are more unique than just crossover sets.

With the fancy graphics just jammed into game (sorry dont know real name) mayhem mission 3D smashing stuff maybe Shield powerset would be easier to do now.
