Magnetism sounds almost exactly like gravity. Try playing that and justify it by saying its all magnets.

...When did they say Whips was going to be a new powerset? All I've heard about are Demon Summoning and Pistols.

i think he's going off of BABs post that said "how about a custom hellfire whip" in another post

I asked one of my sg mates attending Comic Con to ask about what we could expect concerning seeing Brutes on a Manticre tf or MMs in Atlas Park and whether or not they'd be allowed to join sgs. This was his reply after todays panel:
For those who couldn't make it to the con, here's a mini recap, no pics sorry. There weren't any good photo opportunities. The question I asked was in regards to Going Rogue. I asked if heroes/villians would have free run of Paragon City and the Rogue Iles and what of
their SG affiliation?
Positron said, once a player had completed their conversion to light or dark that is the plan to let them have full playability of either territory. Whether it will be a portal to a nuetral zone like pocket D or a direct teleporter like misson teleporter is unknown. Regarding affiliations once a changeover is made, he was unable to comment. Now here are the responses to other questions of the panel:
-They want to take away bridging
-Cross server pvp-working on it
-20 nodes to work with 18 used
-Enhancing database- working on it
-Quicker spawns on respec trial
-Accolade for completing all ouroboros-no
-More base options
-MM custization-working on it
-Finishing up hanging story arcs-yes
-Electrical control for Doms-maybe
-MM whips-yes
...and there you have it

i have a feeling he was refering to this post. and still nowhere in there does it say whips as a set. in fact BaB's post refering to whips, "how about a customizable hellfire whip", was when he was asked about demon summoning. from what i gather, the whip will be the other powers in demon summoning to fill it out. probably only 1 or 2 attacks though.
My bad on the whips. I assumed, making an a** out of myself, lol. All I am saying is that magnetism is a power for heroes and villains in comics, and not to dismiss it out of hand, that's all.
Any thoughts on what any of you would like to see?
I recently saw where Whips will be a new powerset from Going Rogue. It got me to thinking, why not make this a customizable power, and offer a melee weapon power period that includes multiple weapons - you select the one for your build right from the start, so whips, knives, staff and whatever else you can think of.
Second, why does it seem as though there is resistance out there to powers like let's say magnetic or optic blasts. People say law suits, but powers are powers, can they sue someone over that?
I saw a post for Optic blast, was a great power set, loved it.
For Magnestism, there are a whole host of powers that could be offered. Iron Grip(a hold power)/Shrapnel(explosive metal objects)/Magnetic Thrust/Force(pushes a person away)/Magnetic Force(holds a group)/Hurl Objects(similar to gravity). I'm not very good at this, but I hope you are seeing the point.
I think one thing we can agree on, is more powers the better along of course with more content. I am liking the updates with I16 and Going Rogue, good momentum. But I would like to see some open minds on powers, and not just have them dismissed out of hand.
