Actualy I think I like the force field fire blast idea. I wish corruptors had ff but hey.

I feel sorry for the people working on Mids. They've suddenly got a slew of powersets to add and modify for I21.

61866 - A Series of Unfortunate Kidnappings - More than a coincidence?
2260 - The Burning of Hearts - A green-eyed monster holds the match.
379248 - The Spider Without Fangs - NEW - Some lessons learned (more or less.)
Remember folks, this is on top of the Time Manipulation powerset, so all kinds of new support combos out there waiting to be made.
"Can play" is not a binary. It's a float.
There are some pretty low values of "can play" out there.

I may actually be able to take an evil-themed character all the way through Red side now...
@Winter. Because I'm Winter. Period.
I am a blaster first, and an alt-oholic second.
So, stalkers gets Ice Armor but no Ice Melee?
Not that I've ever seen anyone pick ice melee, mind

I crit my pants when I read this on facebook and had to immediately get to the forums because my co-workers just roll their eyes at me :S
DEMONS/SONIC OH MAH GAWWDDD!!!!!
Poison corrs!!!
BS/Regen brutes!!!
Crossing fingers blasters' dark/dark is a testing ground for a Dominator's Dark assault. I've always thought Dark assault shouldn't be too hard with what we have now, but without a dark control or something in that vein in the works soon, it'd only be half the fun.

The devs have stated that they could only proliferate powersets that didn't require new animations, sadly, Ice melee would require at least one for Assassin Strike.|

In Beta, the Demons were doing so much stacked -Resist, that they were far surpassing what a Sonic/Sonic Defender could do... which should not be the case. No other AT should be able to out-debuff a synergistic Defender. And so, the -Resist of the Demons was scaled back rather significantly.
So, we'll have to see exactly how much -Resist a Demons/Sonic can throw.

And the tricky thing about Dark Control is that it will have to work with Dark Miasma for Controllers, which will be problematic since Miasma is already very controllery.

In an odd way, I was actually excited about hearing about the no-news for Doms. They've mentioned that art resources were tight for this round of power proliferation due to all the other demands for new artwork in i21. So my noggin immediately (and maybe erroneously) concluded that they've got a brand new powerset concocted for Doms that requires new animations/art. |

At least I hope that's the case. Doms are so fun.

I'm hoping whatever Doms get is so awesome that it makes up for the lack of proliferation in 3.0!

Was happy to see this announcement. It means I get to break out this new sig I've been saving.
Note: I'm not in closed beta. But when they said there was definitely more they hadn't announced yet about i21 I had a feeling this would be it. Plus I have a real love for people who claim their guesses as absolute fact instead of just being able to say "my guess is"

Well it would be nice if Dominators get something nice later.

Top 4: Controller, Brute, Scrapper, Corruptor
Bottom 4: (Peacebringer) way below everything else, Mastermind, Dominator, Blaster

I just want to say that I like pretty much all of these. While the lack of proliferation for Dominators is disappointing, the sheer bulk of proliferated sets - if these all come out at the same time - might be a new record. I'd have to check.
I also want to say that I absolutely approve of this addition and can find nothing about it complain about. All things considered, this is a very pleasant change of pace.

All of these sets being proliferated seriously add a ridiculous amount of playtime to the game for me. Powerset Proliferation 3.0 could easily be a half-point Issue for me and I'd be completely happy with it. This is just another indication that I21 launch is going to be HUGE.

Yeah, that's how I see it, as well. I've more or less made all the Scrappers and Brutes I could think to make. I've repeated powersets many, many times, and I've even repeated entire combos. I was just about on my way out of options, and this change adds a TON more options. Not only does it mean that I may be rerolling characters left and right, but means I'll have the option to make tons of new ones.|

THIS is the sort of thing I want to see. Solid job there, IF that all comes out at the same time.

This is of course, with Time Manipulation coming in I21 and Titan Weapons after. What a freakin' great lineup.

As much as I like the idea of power proliferation, I have to admit the breakpoint of awesome for me was one specific thing: the possibility of customizable APPs. It might seem silly to some people, but recolorable powers have probably added more replay to this game for me than anything else (proliferation and new powersets being second).
NOTE: I don't believe we're getting this in I21. It was more just that the possibility was even discussed.
Quote:
And I agree with this, as well. I'd never, ever have reused powersets were it not for power customization, but when I can make two characters with the same powers look radically different? Yeah, I'll reuse powersets. This gives me about twice the characters I would have made otherwise.|

Weapon customization, too. I would not have five sword users if they all used the same sword.
