I'm with Sypher, mainly because of something Zwill said in a coffee talk a few weeks ago.
The next powerset (and I think it's a Free-to-VIP powerset, too) would be one with a name that players thought would be one thing, but would turn out to be something different.
That seems to coincide with Autumnal pretty well, considering alot of people were thinking it meant plants and stuff and not dual wielding fire and ice swords.

The very source of the powersets names, identifies what the theme of those powers are.
There's no room to think it's something it's not. Particularly since we already have plant based control and assault sets.

That's exactly what Zwill was talking about. From looking at the name of the powerset itself and nothing else, no one would guess it's dual wielding ice and fire swords, in fact from what I've seen from some other threads, people were guessing other things when they saw the name on the website. Mainly just that it was a recolored plants.|

That's why I think it could be it.
Regardless, whether it is the new set or not we'll find out in a week at the Player Summit, but I'm willing to bet that it is.
I really hope the next set is not Autumnal Control. I'd much rather see Dominators and Controllers tread completely new ground. Electric was already a rehash of a concept already covered extensively by other ATs and really felt conceptually unnecessary to me, since it could have been themed as anything else and increased the total options for character concepts. Fire and ice have already been done to death.
If I had to guess I'd say the next set is either Light or Dark, or both. I really don't care for Dark (rehashed concept again already covered elsewhere) but if its easier to start with a powerset that is already partially built I guess I can see it. Would still rather something built from the ground up, e.g. Beam Rifle, Time Manipulation, etc, which tread ground that was previously not covered. Also note that neither of these sets needed a directly "matching" secondary in order to be put into the game.

Has there been any official word that a new Dom set will be announced then? They've been reluctant to say anything at all on the subject.

it isnt official on the forums but i can confirm right now we are planned a release of a set for dominators.
this information was given to me by a friend, however i cant say for certain which set it is.
Eh; something heard from an anonymous friend seems to pretty much qualify as a rumor without more confirmation.

maybe so to alot of ppl but no doubt they are planning something.
i live in the uk but my friend lives in the usa and he pretty much gets the info asking around, he may be wrong and indeed it is just a rumour to most, but im hoping hes right.

There you go. This is a one-off thing. Stop reading so much into every single thing, it's pathetic.
how is it pathetic, either it is tied or not, oh well thats your opinion and i have mine.
