May not matter much to those who don't use any temp powers when PvPing but some interesting effects have now been given to all in I17 for those that wish to buy/craft them.

Backup Radio - Summon Pet
Envenomed Dagger - -Regen (only -250%)
Hand Grenades - S/L AoE Grenades
Jet Pack - Raptor Pack/JetPack
Kinetic Dampener - +Def and +Res
Med Pack - Self heal
Plasmatic Taser - Targeted AoE KB (Energy Torrent)
Recovery Serum - 100% Recovery buff (4 min)
Resuscitator - Ally Rez
Smoke Flash - PBAoE Placate
Stun Grenades - yup

Pretty neat stuff. Game Changing stuff for Zone I think.


"Situational power? Sure. Although in a sense... all powers are situational. It's just that some situations occur more than others." Understand the situation needed in order for the power to be most effective... and make that situation happen.

Back up radio? wth?

can any of these stack?

I don't know about game-changing, but I might be using a lot of them. That -regen attack could annoy some Scrapper who won't fight "unless warrir at full strangth". Self Heal and Self recovery buff would both be nice.

Then again, a lot of them can be supplemented by Inspires.

If that were true, I would have just put this under the other thread I started about temp powers a couple weeks ago... to bring back all the emotins ya know lol.

It was flamed too and filled with everything but matters related to the OP. I do hope this one can get better conversation going on the use of temp powers in PvP. It does seem to me that some of these new ones are seemingly direct counters to what is currently most powerful is zones.... loss of recovery, dealing with regens, no way to heal solo. (once insp are gone) An AoE placate I mean thats gonna be nice for ohcrap moments.

I'm not here to make people angry.

I don't know if these will be all that game changing. But I can tell you this, those things are going to sell for crazy amounts of influence when they first come out and will totally crash in price within a month or two.

I don't think so. They were dropping pretty freely in beta. I got a drop of one or another every couple of missions. I would guess about the same rate as costume pieces. So unless they change the drop rate for live and had that high drop rate just for testing, I don't think that most of them will be expensive at all.

But if some folks try to corner the market on some, that's a whole different ball of wax.

Very nice. It's about time.
Of course it changes nothing.
See? you didn't even post anything trollish at all...and of course Slax has to try to pick a fight with ya...just because you posted.
Well, that's fine with me. If a rude player like Slax wants to be a noob and troll-out that's all fine and dandy with me. It's not like players like that ever added anything of note to the game.

Of course you aren't, buddy. The board trolls are looking for a fight. F' em.

You're looking for a fight? Next time you need to make it more clear, bud.
