We have closed the Forum Announcement Discussion section to collect the data from the Polls. We do want to re-iterate that this polling was to gather information to help fine tune our development process with the aim of working on items desired by a good cross section of the community. While we can't guarantee that any of these power sets will make their way into game, we can say we are certainly evaluating and working on such.
A big thank you to everyone who voted and also to those who posted their feedback on the associated discussion threads!

We want to thank everyone who participated in the recent Power Set Polls! Those polls have been closed. We received thousands of votes and a lot of great feedback and ideas from the ensuing discussion!
Please keep in mind that these polls are for informational purposes. We can certainly see that powersets are very interesting to the games player base and that is a strong factor for the team in considering future features. The results of the polls will only be seen by the Development Team. We know that wont excite anyone, but we dont want to tacitly endorse any one set.
We would like to reiterate that these powersets are not for Issue 10. We are nearly locked down with that issue already. Consideration for future power sets are for an Issue beyond #10 and will be included for as many archetypes as it makes sense for.
Thanks again to everyone who voted!

As you have probably heard us say before, we are constantly trying to bring you cool stuff in the 'City Of' games! We want to make sure that the stuff we bring you is actually desired by the players as a whole, as opposed to a vocal minority.
To this end we are considering the possibility of two new powersets for the 'City Of' games. The intent is to fill in the two Archetypes with the least number of powers: Tanker primary and Scrapper secondary, which only have 4 choices currently. We want something radically different than the sets we have in the game right now. We have some ideas on what would be cool to include and are looking for your input. In no particular order:
The polls, round two which can be found here, include the following:
O Street Fighting
O Electric Hammer
O Energy Blade
O Psionic Weaponry
O Dual Blades
O Ball and Chain *
O Shield Fighting *
The second set is a defensive set, used again by Tankers and Scrappers. Again, we have some ideas on what we think is cool enough to include into the game, but would like your input:
The polls, round two which can be found here, include the following:
O Density Control
O Force Field
O Willpower
O Vibration
O Growth *
O Shield Defense *
* The sets marked with asterisks are ones that are included for completeness sake, but comes with technical risk which may delay implementation.
I'd like to mention that these powersets are NOT for Issue 10, as we are nearly locked down on that issue already. They are for a future Issue and will be included for as many archetypes as it makes sense for. We definitely want to do something that the playerbase as a whole sees as a "good thing" for the game, which is why we are looking for your input!
If you have other ideas for a melee or defensive set that you think would set the world on fire, feel free to post it in the discussion thread . If there is a strong enough groundswell on a particular idea, then it will be considered as well, or may make it into future consideration for other powersets.
This thread is for discussion of these two Polls.
