Time Manipulation is a free to play powerset and it looks gorgeous. To me it seems more like the devs saying that they're doing their best to make sure for-pay powersets look awesome rather than free powersets being the suck.

Yes, that is me. The 'unnamed player' shown with me there is my best friend and SG mate @Tempest Master, a fellow Triumphite.

I'm just worried that they "stand out in animations" like DP does. In other words, they are overly elaborate and stupid. Street fighting would be great for some harsh, quick, and brutal attacks, but I have a terrible feeling it's going to have a spinning Zangief clothesline or something equally silly.

It has some screen shake effects and can cause enemies to cower in fear

A base table holds 100 - really doesn't seem worth it. Recipe slots I would buy in a second, but crafted enhancements already have adequate storage.

Still 15 second between e-mails. Still involves zoning (you can't log out in a base, it dumps you by the portal), unless you have a second account running in the background parked in the base 24/7.

Eep, I made a signature.

But more on topic, I think every vanity SG needs a Jeeves-alt.

And with Freedom coming it's all the more accessible!

My first thought was "those powers sound cool!"

But my second thought was "my main is a warshade..."

Will the inability for Kheldians to access to Fly and Teleport pools be addressed? Or, at the very least, will Peacebringers get an equivalent to Afterburner (for example, choosing that locks out Group Energy Flight) and Warshades an equivalent to Zone Teleport (maybe locking out Nebulous Form)?

That's what I was thinking. I don't think it would be fair to force warshades into only the t4 teleport and PB's into the t4 fly when everyone else would be free to choose both if they wanted.

edit: But treating Kheldians fairly doesn't seem to be much of a priority. Information has been released about brand new powersets, amongst other things, and still Khelds continue to be neglected despite how vocal the community is about changes that the AT's need. I would not at all be surprised if the trend continued with these new t4 travel powers.
