What are the chances we will get more than just 2 new powersets in GR?

Let me be real with you. I have no interest in DP/DemonSummoning. I am really hoping that we get more than that. I play Tankers/Brutes Controllers/Stalkers. Which they are not doing anything with. So, when my wife made this post it was based off of what I was saying to her. Understand?

We *might* get more proliferation than just Electricity Control. Proliferation is relatively easier than new Sets. |

Sorta bordering on lost interest, so, who knows. I'd be surprised if a lot of the vets are really floored by GR, though I'm sure it will be enjoyable.
Time will tell.

New EATs and I keep all the good lotto numbers for myself
More powersets? That would be awesome and I hope it is so!

The reason I'm making a lot out of this is because there are still people out there that think "Sister Psyche" is pronounced "Sike"...

But it's gonna cost money, so should have more than a regular issue. And we've had four free issues (i5, i7, i11, i13) that had at least two new powersets. I don't mean proliferation or even half-proliferation like Earth Assault either.|

GR isn't a stand-alone game, so it doesn't need the same variety of ATs and power sets as CoV did. |
In fact, what we know of GR so far doesn't even rival i11.
But we've also been told all we've heard is just the tip of the ice berg.My vote? Some big thing we haven't heard about yet. Either powersets, ATs, or something dramatic.

Interesting article. With War Witch at the helm and her hint; "There are a lot of “details” that went into Praetoria that I think players will find interesting. And yes, I’m keeping it vague because it’ll be up to them to figure out what they are," I for one look forward to the 1st Praetorian Easter Egg Hunt!
Will there be more than Dual Pistols and Demon Summoning as new powersets? I suspect not, but would be amazed by the teams ability to keep lips zipped, if it turned out to be so. If Demon Summoning turns out as fun to play as Dual Pistols has been so far, and that's pretty durnt fun, then I'd probably be happy with any others they managed to slip into GR.

New powersets? No, not really expecting anything more.
Why should I expect more new powerset releases that haven't been announced or sufficiently hinted at? Besides, there is so much *MORE* they could add that would make me ecstatic about the new issues. They could add more contacts, they could create new animations for existing powersets, they could improve GUI within the market, they could add more animalistic costume pieces, they could improve costume options (like separating belts and tails or hair/hats/horns with monster heads). The list just goes on.
I simply expect 'more' because I was told 'more' was coming. We'll just have to see what comes down the pipeline. New powersets are good too.

This basically. At the moment what we know doesn't really add up to more than a new free Issue in the past. Assumedly they know the same though and realise for 30 quid there has to be a fair chunk more.

I will go out on a limb, and say i think there may be something that isnt a powerset but additional advancement options for the continuing after 50 stuff. not sure what, but i just have a feeling that there might be more to thatt han we can reallyd escribe under the current power setup.
With EATs being moved to lvl 20 I'm expecting there has to be something else worth being considered a great reward for hitting lvl 50. That might be the end-game system or new EATs.
As for the new powersets, I'm hopeful that there are more than 2 new sets. Powers are what let players create alts and thus stay attached to CoH/V. However, I'm expecting them to be secondaries rather than primaries.
I'm not expecting that much from I17 because it is laying the groundwork for GoRo. However, GoRo needs have some really great features if it going to bring back a substantial number of players to CoH/V.

I just really wouldn't get my hopes up too high, given that there is a lot of other stuff in GR that kinda has to be there. If we get even more goodness with GR, thats a huge bonus. If we dont, well, we cant wail and gnash our teeth over something that was never promised in the first place.

New EATs at 50 are unlikely; they've said in the past that making the Kheldians/Soldiers unlock at 50 was a bad idea. I'd expect some other method; unlocking a hypothetical Vanguard or Rikti AT by beating the LGTF, say.

Well, referign back to the infamous "survey" from a few years back, the only thing under the section that's become Going Rogue not talked about or directly hinted at so far is the Spy AT.
Maybe she's talking about whatever the Spy AT eventually evolved into.

I will tend on the side of optimism. Our devs have done exceedingly well at surprising us. But I'll still be happy if we only get what we have been told! It's already a massive expansion, it bridges the gap between Heroes and Villains, no small feat. Plus, we get four new zones, and Since there are only four for all of Praetoria(to our knowledge) I believe they will be quite in-depth. That said, I believe the devs have already filled the expectation of an expansion; so I won't be dissapointed if we don't get more, but, I believe that there could still be quite a bit of goodies that haven't been revealed.
Now to make sure that I didn't ramble...
