Man-oh-man-oh-man-oh-man!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You CAN'T release a video like that without announcing Open Beta at the same time! You just CAN'T!!!!!!!!!

Surely that constitutes cruel and unusual punishment!

Nice job!

This video has taught me several things. The first was downloading the 1280 resolution vid was pointless with a 1024 screen, *doh*.

Also though, I learnt that there are going to be two very popular powersets with I11's release. Both Willpower and especially Dual Blades (the more visual of the two) look outstanding. The combo aspect of the powers was a surpise to me and adds another variant to an already variety-packed game.

On a tangent I noted the distinct lack of ponies. Obviously an oversight, one I'm willing to overlook due to the already phenomenal awesome-factor that I11 is shaping up to unleash upon the world.

Big up's to Castle too, so multi-talented.

the only thing I'm having trouble with (besides not being able to see the video) is trying to decide what flavor of DB to go with.

I'm still hoping for a tech option so I can make my technology scrapper look right.

BaB just confirmed in the Test Center forum that there will be talsorian options for katanas, BS, and Dual Blades as well

so you get your tech weapons =)

[/ QUOTE ]

Its really nice that they're adding some awesome options, but you can't access the talsorian stuff untill 35+. I'm hoping they put in some hi-techish starter weapon so I don't have to level 1-35 with weapons that look completely out of place on my character.

These powers still sound better than the "old" powers though. I dont know of any current powers that offer a increase when your getting beat on by tons of dudes or a combo system that allows you to do a lot of things other weapon sets dont do. So why would I use any other weapon sets now?

plz plz plz...use better looking characters

I'm sorry, the crappy looking characters in the vid make it seem less awesome >.<

*Drools* That dual windmill attack looks freaking awesome O.o

Exactly my thoughts. We know that we can have defensive powers with no power fx since Tough and Weave both have zero power fx. So devs., time to step up and either deliver on the no fx powerset we want or give us an option in the costume creator to turn power auras on/off. No excuses.

We've already been told that all the toggles and such will have activation effects, so it's possible that you're seeing some of them. Also, Rise to the Challenge is supposed to operate like Invincibility, so like Invincibility, there are probably going to be effects of some sort around your character whenever mobs are being affected by the power.

Either way, giving the devs an ultimatum - nevermind over something that is still in the closed beta stage - is incredibly childish.

I think it's coming along great and I'm really enjoying playing my Dual Blade / Willpower character in Beta. We're really looking forward to opening up the beta to everyone soon, and then taking Issue 11 live not long after that!

telling people you are in closed Beta will get you kicked from beta I'm telling Ex

I think some people don't want auras for PvP, so they can decieve others so the other side wont know what powers they have going.

Speaking of PvP, am I the only one who thinks these new sets are going to under perform as far as PvP goes? Dual Blades' combo system is going to be hard to get bonuses from (because most PvP encounters are so short, let alone being able to hit all the attacks in the chain) and Willpower's lack of Immobolize protection outside of its tier-9 is going to "force" some power pool choices (as far as Min/Maxers are concerned).

That being said, I'm still trying to figure out what secondary I'm going to pair my DB stalker with .

I think Willpower will be the equalizer of all the damn controllers I keep hearing about who mez, hold or otherwise "zap" everyone else. Though I don't really PvP much anyway. No idea how effective Dual Blades will be. The fact that you have to hit with 3 different attacks could be difficult to pull off in PvP. But maybe not.

The video says Rated T for teen. but in fact it should be Rated A for AWESOME . I havent been this psyched up about an oncoming issue since we got kheldians. Bring on the open beta

yeah, this really isn't a PvP set, I don't see Willpower being very effective and Dual Blades have animations that are just too long. Though for most min/maxers they always have Combat Jumping

Looking at the video, it appears that Maiden Justice was a MA/WP scrapper then? Cool! Though I'm hoping they get turned down a notch yet, though I don't really mind the golden glow too much since it's part of CoH cannon.

Castle can get away with a name like Floyd Grubb because he's awesome....

Video says I-11 Fall 2007...but I think technically doesn't "Fall" last tile like mid-Dec or Mid-Jan?
