Per the reports on CoH's SDCC booth, there is a new Melee set: STREET JUSTICE!

From what I've read it has a combo system, but is different from the Dual Blades combos.

I can't wait for this! And here I was happy as can be to be getting Battle Axe, War Mace, and Energy Aura!

Scrappers! Very soon we will be dispensing some sweet, sweeeeet Street Justice!

I for one say BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I've been asking for Psychic Melee weapons and/or Psychic melee with fists wrapped in Psychic auras (like Energy or Dark Melee, but not a reskin, something totally new), since the advent of Dual Blades. When WE, as the community of City OF...voted back in the day for the first new powers, number 1 was Shields, if I rember correctly, but they said it'd be to hard to do at the time. Second was Psychic Weapons/Melee. Third was Dual Blades, and some other stuff after that. What the H...E..double Hockey Sticks happend to OUR DANG PSYCHIC WEAPONS/MELEE? I want my FREAKING Psychic melee warrior with Psy weapons. I even made up a set for it and posted it...and recieved very positive feedback on my set. So if I can put something up as a fan, why can't they get cracking and release what the FANS want, HAVE asked for? This is the damn reason I left and tried other games, even other , dare I say, Hero games, that had psychic weapons and melee powers. Everytime I came back, and left, I would answer the, "what would bring me back question?" with PSYCHIC WEAPONS and PSYCHIC MELEE!!! BAH....Guess I'll have to leave again, and comeback when they get the FREAKING DARNED HINT!!!

Critical wall of text!

They've got all sorts of powersets in the works right now. I'd love Psychic Melee/Weapons too, but you're probably not going to see something like that happen for a very long time. I mean, look at what they've already announced that is coming down the line: Street Justice, Beam Gun, Titan Weapon, Time Manipulation, Darkness Manipulation.

That's an incredibly huge amount of work they're doing at the moment!

Yes, but my point is still valid, WE as a community decided way back when, with a VOTE, mind you, that Psychic weapons/melee was the second (2nd) MOST requested POWER SET, behind Shields. At the time, SHIELDS required technology they did not have the man power to create, nor the time (company line or real, who knows). They finally did get Shields out; however, the number 2 on that list has yet to see the light of day, or even smell the green of earth. They've kept it locked away in a dirty dark basement somewhere. I mean, come on, if my fans on a VOTE, did I say a VOTE already...if my fans VOTED this is power number one I want to see, here is Power number 2, and here is power number 3. Well we can't do 1, so we'll do 3? How the he....l ......l does that work? Ok 3 was a success, and accpeted well by the community. How about number 2, and not that number 2, even though it has been flushed. Hey the players want this power set, it was voted number 2....COH staff, "Nah, they don't want that, they want crap they didn't ask for" OMG...what is going on at COX headquarters. I tell you this, I hope they are Obama's campaing managers come this next election.

Eh...I don't remember whether a so-called "Street Fighting" powerset was ranked in that poll or not, but it's been very heavily requested for years. I know you're disappointed, but at least they are listening enough to make something that is very popular, even if it might not have been #1 in that poll. It's not like they're making Camel Manipulation or Envelope Melee or something obscure.

Actually, I remember them NOT releasing any results from the polls. I don't know where you got Psychic weapons/armor as the top, and would really like to look at that.

Either way, Street fighting was a very often requested set and depending on how it plays and looks, I might be re-rolling a MA/Shild to a SJ/Shield

QQ and I just got Dragon's Tail!

Have you've been here from the beginning, and I mean City of Heroes ONLY BETA beginning? I don't remeber when the poll took place, but it was before ED, I do know that. Regardless, they did have an official, this is what was in First: Shields (explaining why they can't do shields at that time)
Second: Psychic Weapons
Third: Dual bladed weapons
Fourth-?: I don't recall.

I do remeber the TOP 3, b/c they made 1 eventually and made #3 as the first scrapper primary "NEW POWER SET"

I doubt that post is still out there. My post about Psychic weapons and what the set could look like, going from the 1st 2 powers all the way to the Tier 9...yeah not around anymore either.

Also, it was Psychic weapons, not weapons and armor. At that time, they were only releasing (Us Voting) on a primary set to be the new Scrapper power set in the game.

Found this in the thread Bass linked to. Of course, it's the stalker version, but this version has a cone, AND an AoE, for STALKERS. that means the other versions are going to be hawt for AoE.

Also, that little blurb at the bottom is enlightening.

Here's the text:
Quote:
Street Justice delivers punishing bone crushing attacks that weaken, disable or otherwise hinder their foes. This melee power set has no singular form of secondary effect. Instead, it has many ways to cripple enemies. Street Justice's attack powers come in two categories: Combo Builders and Finishers. Combo Builders add to your Combo Level and thus empower any Finishers you use. See individual powers for how they're improved by Combo Level. Combo Building powers can provide up to 3 levels of benefits. Build up to the third level before executing a Finisher for maximum effectiveness.

it sounds sort of like a tweaked MA set with the combo system that DB uses

i honestly dont like the combo system DB uses, its ok, but i dont like hitting my powers in a specific order for maximum effectiveness, i prefer it to be a little more random and depend on the situation

i do like the look that it would have more AoE than MA since that set is suffering AoE dmg output

The way it's described sounds like you can make it a little more random before using your combo points. I don't think they'd make "specific combos" again for a new set.

Doesn't quite seem like DB, in that there aren't very specific combos you perform. It's more like, you have 3 "BU" powers and you have 3 "KO" powers ~ So it would play similarly to kinetic combat, in that you would "build up" using your faster attacks, and then finish with a burst or concentrated strike (in the short term, anyway).

It's looking like 4 boosters and 3 finishers, probably, something like:
1 booster
1 booster
2 booster
6 BU (I'm guessing we won't get a standard BU here, that'd be a wasted opportunity)
8 Finisher
12 I'M CALLIN YOU OUT
18 finisher
26 booster
32 finisher
^reordered for scrappers/brutes
That's just a guess, but as far as the secondary effects go, they said they won't be focusing on just 1 type of effect, but it will be a magical mix of things (sort of like MA, I guess?) So KU, KD, Stuns, probably even slows/immobilizes.
I was initially super excited about making an elec/ea scrapper with i21, now I'm not so sure that's what I want :[
What I do want, and can't come soon enough, is a freakin Mids' update with the new goodies in it.

Streetfighting was a very distant third in the poll.

Was that poll archived somewhere? I'd be interested to see what else on it was used to make new sets.

I remember Energy Fields being on there, the one I was rooting for the most. Shield Defense was the winner for Armor Set, and has been a player favorite ever since. I too enjoy the hell outta Shield Defense.

I seriously cannot wait to get my hands on Street Justice!

So anyone going to be remaking characters for this new Street Justice set?

I'm making new ones. I don't think I've ever made a character with the kind of Street Justice theme behind them, so I'm good there.

I MAY just have to reroll my very first villain, Total Violence. The name seems so fitting lol.
