Magic Wand & Wizard Staff Ranged Powersets

[ QUOTE ]
I see your point wikked, I just do not agree. I do not have any statistics to back it up, but I don't think all of the powerets appeal to 4/5ths of the player base. It is the variety of choices of sets that makes it great.

I really have no problem making this set available for other origins, but since the other EATs are single origin only I just think it is befitting for a Magic Wand to be Magic Origin. If the devs think it would be OK to make it available to other origins then that is just fine by me.

I have found a way to fit it into the game lore. This E.A.T. would come from a new Midnighter story arc. Since all the Midnight club is really good for so far is going to Cimerora. I would write them a new arc that could tie into the whole Demon Summoning power. There could be a new group of demonic villains that has to be stopped. As a reward you get the wand EAT from the Midnighters. That is just one idea, I am open to other story ideas if anyone has any.

Believe it or not, I look forward to reading your finished idea. I enjoy any well thought out and planned suggestions. Just don't get defensive when someone comes in and disagrees with part of your plan. The majority of us are just trying to help your idea appeal to the largest group of players. the more players it appeals to, the more chance of the devs looking into it.

You may also consider workin in what the villian counterpart will be. That will give it an even better chance of being looked at by the devs.

Not making a point, but providing an example, I have played every single Scrapper powerset there is, many multiple times. I enjoy them all greatly and one of by far the coolest parts of making a new character is figuring out which powerset best matches the character's concept. They all appeal to me, personally, and it's the look of the character itself and the concept behind him or her that defines the nature of what the powers "should be."

Thanks wikked I appreciate that, I was hoping that the same set would be available to heroes and villains. I will look into that.

Also I have another thread about a new Halloween Event 2010 idea, everyone seems to love it, check that out.

FYI - I have started on a storyline for the EAT. It involves the Midnighter Squad as was talked about earlier. I am still doing a lot of research to make sure it is solid. Going through lore of the game as well as RL history. It is all comming together pretty well so far but I do have a tiny bump in my road. So who should I talk to about information on an NPC? I have never PMd a Dev before and I just want this next draft to be as thorough as possible.

Im waiting on some information about the midnight squad and its members. Espescially Darrin Wade. N e one able to help me out on that?

Thanks Ad, I have read that already though. I put up a request for more info on Manticores Lore thread.

Definitely the next place to go then.

Good Luck, it seems he's answering fast as he can, hopefully your questions come to the top quickly.

While I won't comment on your paticular vision of powersets, I believe that your observation of the lack of basic magic "weapsons" is valid.

Given that there is already a wand in the game, there is really no reason why we shouldn't have the option of having it as a customizable weapon.

I would be stastified with a Wand AT type, just as we have archery as an AT. And I'm sure the dev's could put together a mix of old and new powersets to build something unique without having to do a lot of extra work.

I would prefer they do extra work not just for the sake of them working, but for the long desired sake of new bloody content in the game! Thanks AncientSpirit!

I dunno Ad, I haven't seen any answers at all in the thread, unless he is responding to everyone by means of a PM, which I think would be a bad idea if more than one person wants to know about the same thing. Or are they answering the questions by putting the info on the COH website...I made mention about how he would answer in the thread so we will find out.

Either way, we will have a new Midnighters story eventually.

Whether or not it will be yours is yet to be seen. Don't get your hopes up, too much chance to be disappointed.

Definately, I have considered the possibility that they already have a new story arc comming for the midnighters, maybe not. I do think that my concept for the story is pretty solid though so I am confident that at the least, they will like it, whether they use it or not.

Well, after reading the new lore on the Going Rouge page, I have a new slight twist on my storyline idea. Still waiting on Lore from Manticore about the Midnighters. I hope you all have not forgotten about this thread. When I am ready to post the revised version it will be on a new thread so everything can start fresh.

So far changes that I have made to the EAT powers include renaming the powers in english, no more latinesque names. Including more powers in each set primary and secondary to better mirror the selection that Kheldians have due to the lack of pool powers. These include a travel power, more attack powers; a sonic attack, some melee attacks and a PBAoE Toggle, as well as some more defensive powers such as some debuffs, a rez, and foe and ally teleports.

Also note that I have read up on the i16 information about power customization, and as I expected, this only allows you to change your color and particle effects options. It does not state that it allows you to pick a "source". I speculate that this is due to animation conflicts of some sort. So having a magic wand or staff will not even be considered possible for power customization. More details on the wand/staff EAT progress will be given once I find out about the Midnighter Lore. Thanks.
