Discussion: Full Powerset Proliferation Revealed

[ QUOTE ]
So is this the outlook for "new" powers to come?. Crossovers? ... Is it too much to ask to come up with some not many, but some ideas?

Uh, yeah. It's exactly what they said they were giving us: they were porting powersets from one Archetype to another, crossing some over between Hero and Villain, starting with the ones that required the least artwork re-design. What were you expecting?

And yes, it was too much to come up with "new" ideas, considering that they're already working on Shield characters AND the two new Villain epic archetypes. Is five new powersets not enough for you?

They also said they had a choice: design 1 Mastermind powerset from the ground up, or proliferate 20 powersets. You'd think that giving out TWENTY previously unavailable powersets would have made many more people HAPPY than just giving out ONE.

Just a bit of a positive note to talk about heroes getting all the "good" powers and villains getting screwed. Out of the announced sets, there is one, maybe two heroes I might try out. One is the psi blaster, because I love psi but the disappointing damage on a dom is underwhelming. Don't worry though, this is one psi blaster who only pve's. As for the villains, there are at least three matched sets I'm gonna roll, not counting the two veats. Personally, I like storm, so storm/elec corr works great for me. Stone doms might be alright if they tweak the colors a bit so they're not so blah. Elec/Elec stalker might be fun too. All the naysayers that are saying that this set won't add up or just fail, remember that noone has seen the power lists or their descriptions. We don't know how these will shape up, or even how they'll change from closed to open to live. I for one love storm because it's unique. Mind you it takes some skill to just not knockback all the melee ATs targets all the time, but all ATs and sets have to keep certain things in mind when playing on a team.

Actually....considering there will most likely be only one or two updates between this and CO's coming out party this may be the only round of PP many of us will see.
