Secondly, we have IOs in various sets that allow us to add various typed damage to our attacks. So those are already in the game, although a few more wouldn't hurt (for instance, there are only a few that add fire/cold damage, and those are in purple sets).
Also, it is very unlikely that they will allow us to add damage to armor toggles, because of the way the powers are coded. Right now, armor toggles that do not affect enemies are coded to affect the user only. With your suggestion, they would need to be coded so that they affect the user only with part of it, and then affect enemies with the other part if and only if there was a certain invention added to it. I don't think that the Devs really want to go through that kind of headache.
Also, you then get into issues of balance, where the sets are relatively well balanced now, but what happens when you can start to add damage to armors and such. What about ATs that don't have armor toggles? What do they get out of this system? You can't just say nothing, because then you're adding power to ATs such as Scrappers and Brutes, and throwing them out of balance with the other ATs.
And then they're the factors about weapon versus non-weapon sets. How do you add electricity to a fire-based attack? Do you only allow these inventions on weapon sets? If so, then that throws those sets out of balance within the ATs.
Going to go with /no for now, but maybe you can take a second stab at this and see if you can't address some of these issues?

We could add a few more IO sets with varius types of damage Procs, or even have sets where the Proc is the only IO in the set. (To prevent stacking them in the same power.)
As for having the customizable auras on the weapons, there was a post yesterday stating that BaB had stated (second-hand info, I know) that having power customization (like colors, auras, whatnot) and having the ability to choose different weapon skins (like we can with the varuis swords/axes/etc. was almost an either/or proposition because having both on the same set was going to be a HUGE headache.

Anyway, you probably already know this, but you can achieve the visual effect of an aura on your armor by unlocking auras at L30+ through either your starting contact or the City Rep, depending on whether you are Redside or Blueside. Unfortunately, I feel that the auras are not enough to really do what you appear to want.
Good luck.

If it's French or German, scroll down a bit for boards completely in those languages. No translations needed.

Oh and if you can't tell, of the three people who responded to you so far, I'm the only one that has been a jerk.

I knew someone would smell blood in the water.
Or post something like "Rule 1 of the Internet: Grow some skin".
((Okay, I was skimming the forums and saw the last poster in this thread was Sharker_Quint. Knowing his posts and how the OP went, I could safely assume. You performed as expected. 
))

Actually I was trying to be helpful by giving the OP an actual rude response so he could compare it to Aett's and your posts and see that there is indeed a difference between what you guys said and a real jerk.
I have alwas been a fan of expanding craftable weapons and other items. I had hoped IO sets would have some thematic sense when they came, but alas. I would still like to see salvage used to create more temp items.

Your wish is granted.

If you have problems with English, that's fine. Apologise for it and we'll all go about our business. But don't try to pull the "woe is me" trump card. It doesn't work. I should know.
