New power set: Die Horribly

Yes, this is a joke, but it's a joke that I bet people would pay a few points for.

There should be a power set called Die Horribly. Each power in it is a different death animation. Also when you use it, you die. (Well, "are defeated".)

Rationale: People would take it to show off how awesome one of their other sets is. I suspect it'd be a little TOO much if it were a primary/secondary, but it could be a Pool.

As long as it includes the ghoul death animation, people would pay points to unlock it.

Personally, I could see myself taking a power from such a pool on some characters just to be able to instantly die on demand for RP purposes without relying on self destruct for it.

But we already have the Blaster archetype.

We will honor the past, and fight to the last, it will be a good way to die...

As much as this request was for a joke, how about making it an emote select and it is what gets played when your HP hits 0. And Paragon can make even more money with various purchasable death (unconcious) animations.

A powerset may be a little too much, but a single power may be worthwhile buying, and I agree that emotes will be nice.

Frankly I find a "feign death" power more attractive. You lose aggro, and then can get back up and show them what you're made of (i.e., die for real).

This has been in demand for a couple of years now. I hope they decided to do it, because just like you mentioned it, we are a lot of people who will be paying for having a couple of more of death animations.
