ok ok ok know that I have had several cups of coffee!!!!!
Talk about way cool!!!
Lets say when you reach level (really high number) you can spec a char whose powers freely roam all the power sets. same number of powers but regardless of archetype.
Imagine a a Katana scrapper who can hurl a ball of lightning and shrug off an attack with a deflection shield?
huh? huh? huh? well? whaddya think?

The game used to be something kinda like that. Way back before release. They changed it because you could make toons that were either completely gimped or totally overpowered. Don't look for this to ever happen.
[/ QUOTE ] even so they could open up the EPPs so they offer more variety scrappers only get 3 of those too.
As for the melee power pools i voted Dual Blades and Hammer but i would probably be happy with any of the pools other than street fighting, shield fighting and any kind of western style ball and chain melee.
I'm going to have to pass on the latest poll (about I9), given that you elected not to release the results of this one.
Polls don't interest me much unless I get to see the results and how well my opinions align with the rest of the community, and what the community as a whole has ultimately said. I mean, if I merely wanted to express my individual opinion that the devs might or might not adopt (and will probably not indicate one way or the other), I don't need a poll for that. I can just make a post.
It's great that you asked us for feedback, but unless we know what feedback we collectively gave you, we won't have any sense of whether you listened or just chose to ignore us and do your own thing. (If I were more cynical, I'd assume that was the point.)
It's like going to vote for the next president and only finding out who (allegedly) won by waiting to see who got inaugurated.
where are the results I've been searcihing for an hour because the poll said the results would be able to be viewed today?
O Dual Blades
Energy Blade
Shield Fighting *
O Vibration
O Growth *
O Shield Defense *

Yeah , where are the results? If we don't get to see the results that's totally bogus and I wont be voting in any more polls.
Yeah what he said, we demand results now
I'd like to see them put in all the powers that there have up.
I think it be cool to get other things like metal armor for tanks.
Get a few new pool powers to would be cool something like vehicles, and a Ice slide at a lower lvl you side on the ground then you can slide in the air. just a thought
I wonder why they reopened this thread.
It would be cool to have a defense set called willpower. It would become stronger in defense as you get lower in health. So it would take like 10 attacks to get you down to 50% and 20 (they have to contact, but by then you have very good defense) attacks to get to 0%. And psionic weaponry would destroy FOTM brutes. Making more diversity. then brutes=tanks.

I would have to vote: "None of the above".
Rather than giving us a new powerset that basically does the same thing as the existing powersets, just with new effects, I would suggest a more radical upgrade.
As toon's level, I would like to see the ability to choose from ANY power/powerset, even if it is outside of my basic class.
So, regardless of my AT, at level 6 (for example), I would like to be able to choose any of the following powers:
Touch of Fear; Build Up; Hand Clap; Assasin's (Attack); Smoke; Propel; Arctic Air; Confuse; Spore Burst; M30 Grenade; Dark Pit; Power Burst; Rain of Fire; Aim; Electron Haze; Shockwave; Murky Cloud; Conductive Shield; Power Shield; Healing Flames; Dull Pain; Earth's Embrace; Murky Cloud; Danger Sense; Reconstruction; Focused Senses; Darkest Night; Insulation Shield; Weaken; Triage Beacon; Glue Arrow; Power Push; Fire Breath; Ice Sword Circle; Telekinetic Thrust; Fling Thorns; Snow Storm; Darkest Night; Repel; Accedlerate Metabolism; Sonic Haven; Cauterize.
Or any power from any powerset available under level 6.
Some Mastermind powers may need to be left out as they are dependant on other MM powers. Kinda pointless to get "Upgrade Pet" if you don't have any pets!!
Of course, there would need to be some sort of limitation to this theory. I would suggest, that starting by level 10 or 12, if 25% or more of your toon's powers are from powersets outside of your selected AT, you loose your Inherit Powers. Though, if your AT is Dominator for example and all your selected powers come from other Dominator powersets, you would not loose your Inherited Powers.

Don't you dare change Domination or Azucar would kick you in the groin! 
er, perhaps I missed something in the 47 pages...what power sets won?

Water can be a breat blaster type power as it can thrown as a hardball, or fired in a stream like a fire hose. It can knock enemies over like a wave, make surfaces slick, and give a defensive bonus against fire attacks.
if you are talking about running around with a stick whackin enemies on the head then count me outta that!
[/ QUOTE ]
...actually its a buck and a quarter Quarterstaff.... 
I think that Growth would rather be a nice Travel power instead of a def. set

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!

Thats a real scumbag move. Scumier even than tying new costume pieces into the Veteran and Invention systems.
Seriously WTHITS?
I still say, Devs please give us a quarterstaff set for Scrappers. I will play this game day and night if you do.

Actually, the term is "buck and a quarter quarterstaff".
But, still. +6 on the Awesome Scale for knowing that quote.
after making my first tank and thinking of a good look/power combo i do have one request to the devs could you bring fire aura to the scrappers or katana to the tanks because i want to make a really cool toon that uses fire and has a katana

umm in most Jappanese arts a staff is refered to as a Bo or a Jo according to size a Jo being the smaller apporx. half the lenth of a Bo or 4ft. a ture quarter staff would then be a Escrima or Kali sticks, in kung-fu the staff is refered to as Gun and tends to be thicker and longer than its Jappanese counter part, the term quarterstaff is offten missused to lump together any form of a staff but its actually a medevil varriation of a Gun staff that useually with metal on the ends so I was just wondering if this is the type of staff your thinking of?
I think that a three-section staff (Sanjiegun) would be realy cool, but even though the Gun is my best weapon in training I have to agree with who ever said Buuu to the staffs there something jsut so not super about heroes and villains running around stick fighting, or at least make it a ele staff or something I just want a melee set with cool effects fast animation times and damage type other than smashing/lethal, give me that and I'll do a little jig.
Let's see...I know it's closed but...
