Controller Powerset idea: Elastic Limbs
Yes. Indeed. It's "to" bad. Too bad that you can't understand that water = a smooth liquid and ice = big blocks of solid chunks and spikes all over your chest. If I were to make a water-themed character it would be more fitting to use Energy Aura than it would to use Ice because at least Energy Aura can kind of look like water.
And what "answers" have you given me? Besides pure "lol ur ideaz r dumb cuz they wud look stoopid" type of BS?

obviously you don't read posts or you would have seen the answers i and techbot gave you. so i'll ask this, how do you damage someone with water? you turn it into ice. water does not make sense. again, pm a dev about it and you will get pretty much the same answers we have given you.

How does "dark" hurt people? It's not even a real thing, so nobody questions it. Honestly, who cares? You insist devs would give the same answers you are, that water can't hurt anyone, yet as you yourself even said, they originally intended Energy Blast to be Water Blast? I highly doubt any devs have called the destructive nature of water into question. More than likely, anything said on the subject was said due to technological or manpower restraints. Restraints which may no longer apply, or may be loosened in the future.
Drown them? Scald them? Smash them? Can someone really be this naive? With enough force and pressure, being hit with water can feel like getting hit with concrete.

Please.
Look, I know that making Water sets would take a lot of time and effort. That, in and of itself, is not a reason not to do something, however. Therefore, I will continue suggesting things I would like to see in the game, no matter how difficult or time-consuming it may be to add them to the game. Not because I don't believe the devs when they say it'd be very difficult to do it, but because I do believe them and would like to see them try regardless. If it's wrong to suggest things that aren't being done because they're difficult then sue me. This is called the Suggestions Forum. Not the "easy things to add" forum. Not the "Simple Suggestions" forum. Not the "things you want to see so long as everyone else thinks it's okay and it's not a big project" forum. I like to think BIG with some of my suggestions. I know Water powers or Elasticity powers will probably never happen, but that doesn't mean I can't keep wishing for them and suggesting them.
If the devs come in and tell me it's not worth the effort to make something, I'd completely understand. That doesn't mean I don't want to see it, however, and if other people feel the same way they should continue suggesting it with the hopes that the devs might change their minds. I simply disagree with anyone who feels all Suggestion threads should end with "so and so dev said it wasn't going to happen, ergo it won't happen /end". My thought: who cares? Give your own feedback on the idea. Don't let whether something may or may not happen influence your opinion on whether or not you'd enjoy having it in the game. Be optimistic, FFS. That's really all I'm trying to say. Sorry if that upsets some people.
A blaster waterset I can't see that happening. Maybe a controller one, but with the engine we are running on it wouldn't look that good. I've asked before. It's not gonna happen.

It won't happen so long as people keep coming in and telling everyone to SHUT UP IT WILL NEVER HAPPEN whenever they make a valid suggestion in the Suggestions forum (especially when they even describe a valid way that it could be done).
Maybe you don't recall, but for the longest time the devs also said that power customization wasn't a possibility. These suggestions are being made to show that there is interest. Coming in to say "THIS WON'T HAPPEN" is neither constructive nor helpful to the development process. Suggesting something isn't for my benefit or for yours; it's to let the devs know what players want to see. If enough people wanted to see water or elastic limbs or even Fish melee it might open up doors and suddenly become possible. |
No, it wont happen because the Devs do not have the TECH for it.
Seeing as you seemed more focus on ranting and raging rather than actually reading a post that explained why not, I thought it bore repeating.
The Devs KNOW that the players would LIKE Elastic limbs and water powers and a water zone. They have also said, quite emphatically, on multiple occasions, that such things will not be put in game until they can either bully the tech they have into making it look good, or getting an engine overhaul.
Now, an egine overhaul basically means re-writing the entire game. Bullying the tech into working, when they have plans as far as a I20-21 already laid out and planned?
So, please dont talk down to me and rant like an irate child. Your not the first to suggest this and, sadly, Im sure you wont be the last. But, word up, screaming and shouting wont make it happen any faster.
Because the tech they need isnt there.
Period.
GG, I would tell you that "I am killing you with my mind", but I couldn't find an emoticon to properly express my sentiment.

If they can't do it right, they don't like doing it.
Long story short: We voted on powersets once. Stretching/Growing was one of the top choices. They know we want it. That doesn't mean they are going to do it until they can do it in a way that looks right to them.

EDIT: Are people really dinging this poster's rep because he made a suggestion that doesn't work within the confines of the game's current limitations? C'mon, guys, he's relatively new to the community...you might consider cutting him just a small break.
RE-EDIT: Only just realized that the original post is nearly a month old which means that there could have been other things to draw some ire. Damn ninja posting from work!
