New Archetype or costume set?

I am just curious this time. I made another post suggesting that we have a Psi Melee and a Psi Armor for our toons and though alot of you folks hated the idea of a Psi Armor, you really seemed to be ok with a Psi Melee bundled with Willpower and counter proposed alot of awesome concepts which made me HAD to post this:

I did read some requests lately for a new Epic Archetype. On one hand. I had the idea of doing a Longbow archetype, despite not suggesting it, because I'd rather see something else instead.

But I can't get over how cool it would be to see a Longbow Archetype. But I got to thinking more and I am now like "No it isn't". They should just make a Longbow Costume set and sell it on the market. Then you can make any archetype and have it be a Longbow Soldier!

What do you guys think, should we do a Longbow Archetype in the FAR, FAR future, or just simply wait and hope they sell a Longbow Costume set like they do with the Circle of Thorns or both?

The thing is - Longbow don't really do anything different. At all. The minions/Lts are pretty much Assault Rifle/devices blasters (Although the Nullifiers get those damn annoying sonic grenades that are more like a power from Trick Arrow). And the Wardens? they're just extrapolations Of existing archtypes/powersets made in the standard NPC fashion of the time.

Besides, we could use some Praetorian oriented EATs before another Hero one.

Yeah, there is no specialization to longbow, "supers" among them are things like Spines scrappers and grav doms/controllers.

Uh... Can't you already make Longbow appearance-wise in the costume creator? A friend of mine has a Longbow character I thought was an NPC the first time I passed it in Pocket D.

If they where going to add a new epic AT, I would go for Carnival of Light/War.


I really should do something about this signature.

I'd go for Praetorian Devouring Earth, but only cos there'd be lots of squishy organic powers hopefully (somewhere between Traps, Plant and some sort of Mastermind set where you summon weird beasties)

My suggestions for PEATs have always been their version of the PPD.

The I see the PPD having a Power Glove primary power set, with their mixture of damage, sleeps and holds, paired with some sort of Power Field armour set (as their armour appears to be some sort of energy field that covers their body, similar to the Victorian Decore auras).

PPD and Carnies sounds good to me.

yeah, I'd be pleased with this. It'd be nice to have a magic origin EAT

Not sure if you can or not, if so, I never figured it out. If they ever proliferate Spines to the Brutes, I would love to make a green skinned Longbow Warden Brute that uses Spines/Willpower for powersets. :'(
