I wish there will be Thermal Defenders in new issue. I like thermal set but controllers end can't handle that, even without using your primary powers. 
[/ QUOTE ]Since when is thermal an end-heavy set?

This has me confused, as I duod with a thermal to the 40s on villains and didn't notice end issues except when the idion nuked and stole my herds. The figures on Mids seem to make thermal OK to me
"Well, they found my diary today.
They were appropriately appalled
at the discovery of the eight victims
They're now putting it all together.
Women wrapped in silk
with one leg missing
Eight legs, one body, silk,
spider, brilliant!"

I think you'll get your wish next patch - Thermal and Fire Blast seems like a no-brainer for a thematic pair of powersets to proliferate to Defenders in the next issue - I can see that happening before Traps/Assault Rifle anyway (which would probably then follow in the next issue anyway).
Whatever, as long as I get Archery/TA for Corruptors sometime soon I don't mind what Defenders get

if only there was a water blaster..

Yay! Even if the rest did not make sense, the love for Water Blast is still there! xD
Water Blast for i13! Or at least in the future sometime soon. . . xP i13 & i14 are meant to be HUGE; its possible! ¬ _ ¬

Well, you can dream 
Devs have said I13 is HUGE, but nothing about I14 yet, afaik.
Water Power sets would be awesome ;o) Then again with all talk of the original origins in the tales along the way from the midnight club may well open this up....
Dual Pistols ... Easy enough to do...
And now for something completely different....
How about the possibility of Heroes and Villains rising above the pettiness of hero/villain rivalry and follow a path together through more shared mission zones kind based on similar beliefs, i.e. like cults dedicated to debt ;o) and have their own meeting/sg type places

That's early groundwork for adding Incarnates in future... probably

If that happened then the only petty rivalry left would be the entire hardcore PvP crowd against you - on the bright side they wouldn't be able to do much to you except hard stares, verbal abuse and trying to lure you into the arena for a beating

Yup, probably for the people who got Poseidons powers from the well 
Looking at States+LR's powers, I think if Incarnate is put into an AT, it's going to be -very- hard to unlock, coz godly power don't come easy ya know ;]

Since i used to team up with newbie and suicidial blasters 
But as you said this i think problem is slotting, no end rdx just recharge and heal a bit heavy for my ever healing controller.
Anyway that doesn't change the fact i want Thermal Defenders. Also a Rad/Fire defender will make me return defending roots too. Hmm maybe a FF/Fire one so i can show how deadly can Rain of Fire be without risking my own skin.

Well if the Do Gooders stop bothering me when I am trying to make some money and walk on the path to world domination out there I see no reason to bother them at all. Even better, I am glad to enroll them into my future armies of darkness.

If it works out to be even half as much fun and powerful as my Fire/Rad Corruptor then you'll be grinning like an idiot for most of the jaunt to 50 (and probably long after).

energy should be yellow, now it looks like you're shooting water with energy mixed together.

Well, Cimerora and the RWZ do this, and Pocket D is a good meeting place for both sides - but if the devs plan on keeping the two economies separate, I don't think we'll get any sort of trading between Heroes and Villains.

Shooting yellow water ay?
You know. Some more original power sets would be nice but Water would be a LOT like energy. The effects wouldn't exactly look much different and most of the high level stuff looks like water anyway. What i would like maybe is some more pets for MM, maybe some sort of monster summoning (werewolfs, frank-t-stine or maybe mummys?) Or maybe a Anti-Hero summoning. That would be fun.
Id also like the ability to maybe get something more epic after or from your patron powers. Currently, as a villian. My choice is kind of easy as a MM. If i pick anything, Ghost Widow is simple for me. The issue is that though she has a nice power set. Maybe some more choices of powers for each patron so that classes like MM's, Tankers or Blasters could have a more valid choice out side of the standard picks.

To name the two most obvious "energy blasters", neither Silver Surfer nor Iron Man's energy blasts are yellow, and energy isn't yellow, so why did you pick yellow in particular? Why not red like Cyclops' energy blast? Just curious
Oh and Mechwolfos, don't hold your breath for a new MM henchman set - the Devs have said that new powersets are more likely to be made if they can be proliferated to the maximum number of archetypes. Henchman sets can only be used by MMs - one AT out of 10 non-epic ATs, and also an AT in the least popular half of the game.
Besides, the Devs have hinted heavily that after Shields (brutes/tankers/scrappers) we'll be getting a new blast set next (blasters/corrs/defs) which is very likely to be Dual Pistols, then probably a new control set (trollers/doms) after that. Based on the rate of previous new powerset releases that's probably the next 6 issues covered.

Because the energy in Dragon Ball Z is yellow, ergo all energy must be yellow. I think is what he was getting at.
It's not running away. It's advancing in reverse!

Ok, now I'm wishing I hadn't asked
Yeah, that's certainly not a good reason for energy blasts to be yellow - in fact I find it an excellent reason why they should be any colour except yellow. /veto
what odds are you offering on a new enemy/group to fight
I was thinkimg of betting an SO (magic) and 2 regen flesh on a new group called the hampsters of lag

Not strictly true... Iron Man has had various different coloured repulsor rays including yellow over time

If anything, the Corruptor version should be red for thematic sense and to match Dominators. And, well, because I and at least some people think it'd just be cool. (And they did it for Corruptor Elec Blast)
