No one asked about Power Customization and when we might see the first passes at the Power Pools and/or Epic Pools (and/or Epic ATs)?
Shame on y'all!
C'mon!
It was asked, they did not choose it as one they answered.

May I just point out the 'Costume Auras' on the 3rd and 4th pics, IIRC in the UStream chat they said the auras animate and seem to flow.

Indeed! That part alone should be a very cool and versatile (as in, steampunk or not) option!

I'd like to know if the new face tech is going to be added to every existing face in the game, or if it's only going to be for any new faces in the steampunk pack - and if you need to have the pack to unlock the tech.

I was just giving my vote for what I wanted. Anything will be cool, but ninja scrapper would make me extra happy. And of course I am the first priority.

I was wrong.

The Incarnate system is open-ended, with no set limit to the content - and it's awesome.

Yeah, there's a bunch of the remaining possibilities that I want..

1) Nin, EM, Mace/Axe, & Stone for Scrappers (I'd love SS, but that may be too much work atm)
2) SR for tanks ... or REGEN!
3) ICE for Stalkers!
4) Sonic for MMs
5) Thermal & Fire for Defenders
6-10) DARK SETS FOR DOMINATORS FOR THE LOVE OF ANY DEITY LISTENING!!!!

Looks like a midriff to me, which if there isn't a leather semi corset version would be a real shame.

By the way, does anyone else think that these steampunk parts look a lot like the original concept art for the Resistance, before they were made more tech-ish?

That does assume the Resistance was planned to be steampunk in the first place. I mean Praetoria seems to be strongly Cyberpunk in tone and theme with super heroes sprinkled in, and one has to ask what point or purpose would steam-powered tech have done against Cole's regime?

El Topo seemed to be intimating that that would depend largely on how the new faces go over with the community.

I believe he's referring to the concept art found here.

That is what the resistance was originally gonna look like.

On the topic of power proliferation, I'd like to see Dark Miasma for Controllers, if only because I had this cool concept in mind for a Plant/Dark Controller when the Firefly aura appeared and was disappointed when I realized 'Trollers didn't have Dark.

All the screenshots are from the UStream on the 7 year celebrations. I'm sure there's a link to the full video somewhere on the boards.

Hmm, that's an interesting idea for a new zone or at least new trial stuff.

A cyberspace zone. Complete with cheasy not-accurate-at-all interactions .

Check out the video for the competition's "Rainbow Flight" powers.

Yeah, I gave them an earful about that with predictable results. One of the devs claimed they didn't know about GR (right, and Elvis will posting right after me); the kneepad brigade was quick to mention that Multifaria (et al) was in the tabletop game before City, like that matters.
