power set proliferation question/idea

Right, power set proliferation has, imho , been quite successful so here's an idea for the next issue

Allow CoV access to the kheldian and evil PBs (cant remember who they are) or better yet, a void stalker AT.

Give Heroes access to unlockables along the lines of the Arachnos soldiers a sort of PPD or Longbow training path.

This would give an opening to nice PvP maps with a rivalry more than just hero vs villain. Void stalkers could have a mission to hunt PBs, longbow could be under orders to attack a stronghold defended by Arachnos.

[/ QUOTE ]As far as I remember, "Kheldians" include PB, WS, and Nictus. ("Nictus" might be the "evil PBs" you were looking for.) I'm not such a fan of the Kheldian epic AT, but the more choices, the better.

[/ QUOTE ]Longbows aren't trully original creations: apart from the costume, nothing puts them apart from other heroes... Ballistas are some sort of blastanks... and Sentinels are various "normal" ATs with a Longbow uniform (same as Crey's Paragon Protectors)... Not even some piece of equipment to make a difference (such as the soa backpack or mace). But, as above, the more, the better.

However, I think some originality between heroes and villains can be maintained, so I won't "+1" this.
Neutral answer, then. My proposal would be more in the line of "make a new AT that's available as Heroes AND villains".

What you are proposing is Archtype proliferation, not powerset proliferation.

or just plain new ATs

and i havnt even unlocked my SoAs yet, so no new epics mmkay!

A Peacebringer is a "pure" Kheldian. A Nictus is a Kheldian that has gone through a scientific process to allow them to vampirically sap life energy from others and also be able to force themselves into a host (Peacebringers need consent to merge with a host) to extend their lives (both Kheldians and Nictus can only live for 10 years without a host). Warshades are Nictus who regret their formerly evil life-stealing ways and are trying to redeem themselves by doing good deeds and not taking hosts by force.

Not that it explains why "pure" Kheldians sometimes spawn (as White Dwarves and Bright Novas) as enemies for Peacebringers/Warshades in the game, not to mention Novas/Dwarves of both kinds showing up in the ITF and aiding the Council/5thC elsewhere when they should only have Nictus (i.e. Dark Novas and Black Dwarves) with them. Lore-wise it could be that some "pure" Kheldians have decided to side with the Nictus without undergoing the Nictus process, but I've not seen much evidence of that in-game besides the spawns themselves.

Yeah, while I'd probably play a CoV-side Nictus (I enjoy my Warshade) or a CoH-side branching Longbow EAT (enjoying my Crab Spider too), I think I'd prefer something new and original that both sides could access - like a Coralax Hybrid EAT
