Kinetic Melee/Electric Control

Any Idea when we'll find out what powers and some of the stats these sets will hold? Mainly asking about kinetic melee for right now, As if it gives a perma damage buff power or not (think like siphon power only as an attack and melee to only yourself), means i'll be deleting my dark/ss and making him into an elec/ss and then doing a dark/KM. So would be nice to know some of these things if possible, or right now as i'm sure they won't say in response to this, but at least a timeframe when we can expect this knowledge? (I mean come on they already have the powers made for it and mostly figured out if you didn't notice the video)

Since I'm not in closed beta I couldn't tell you.

IF I was in closed beta I still couldn't tell you.

Anyone in closed beta probably won't tell you as it breaks the NDA(Non disclosure agreement) for being in closed beta and would pretty much lead to them NEVER being allowed into closed beta EVER AGAIN!

Should you get into closed beta you shouldn't tell us as it would violate the NDA you agreed to by logging into closed beta. See above consequences concerning talking about stuff outside of closed beta.

Was that pretty much what everyone else was thinking?

I'd also like to add that if you don't get into closed beta you'll get the information when we get into open beta.

Since it's been announced that GR will be released on August 17th we can "guess" that there will be at least a 3-4 week open beta. Maybe more, maybe less. I would be surprised if it was 2 weeks or less, but we'll know better once it starts.

So given that supposition you could "guesstimate" that open beta would start no sooner then July 20th and probably more likely July 27th. Who knows they could start open beta later on August 3rd for all I know.

The dates suggested are based on the Dev's propensity for doing releases on Tuesdays.

So in the end you'll probably find out about Kinetic Melee no later then the beginning of open beta sometime this summer, unless they change their minds and not release Kinetic Melee for some strange bizarre reason.

You guys who think you are the "Closed Beta Police" are as annoying as the people who keep asking these questions.

It's a fair enough response, hardly 'policing.' There are certainly other self-proclaimed forum cops, but the individual wasn't brow beating anybody, just stating we can't say, and why.

As to the powersets, they get tweaked a lot in betas, sometimes simply, sometimes significantly. They don't tend to post details until they get a bunch of people using it, and are happy with the result. After that, we can hope they add details to the Going Rogue site like they did for demons and such. Since there's a bit over a month left for testing, we should have details in a matter of weeks.

Chuckle. Closed Beta Police? Someone should use that for a toon name.

FYI there were well over 200 views on this thread before I bothered to add my first post, so no, no one was racing to make a comment. I also tried to keep the tone light hearted to set a tone that would discourage anyone from "jumping down the OP's throat".

When I had time I added my follow up post to give some conjecture about when the OP might see some information not included in the Closed Beta.

As a closing thought, if the OP does know about the Closed Beta format and still asked the question it could be construed that he was trying to get someone else to break the NDA and "spill the beans" so to speak.

Take it as you will. I'm certainly not the Closed Beta Police. More like a guy walking by going "Dude? What where you thinking?"
