Retroactive weapon sets

To get to the point quickly: New weapon powersets have come out, and old themed weapon model sets have not been updated to include them. What gives?

For example, we lack:

Vanguard Pistols (Thugs existed when Vanguard weapons came out, some matching pistols should have been made then.)
Vanguard Titan Sword and/or Axe
Rulaaru Titan Sword and/or Axe
Celestial Titan Sword and/or Axe

And when Staff Fighting come out, I get the feeling there won't be any Vanguard/RUlaaru/Celestial version of that either. So are these things just "in the pipeline" or just not happening? I'd hate to think that new freebie, in-game unlockable content is going the way of the dodo, but it's been looking like that lately.

On top of that, there are holes that could use some filling, such as the lack of Organic weapons besides the sword, what prevented the addition of more weapons? With the new microtransaction system, now is the perfect time to add some boosters to the....boosters.


The off-beat space pirate...Capt. Stormrider (50+3 Elec/Storm Science Corruptor)
The mysterious Djinn...Emerald Dervish (50+1 DB/DA Magic Stalker)
The psychotic inventor...Dollmaster (50 Bot/FF Tech Mastermind)

Virtue Forever.

When Titan Weapons was released, I got the feeling that they wanted to see how players would react to a "weapons pack". They might have limited the number of available titan weapons intentionally for this purpose. I'm hoping for more weapons in the future.

I'm not worrying too much about that powerset; they already stated that there would be a lot of staves to choose from.

personally I feel its better if not every style of skin shares among all weapon types, helps keep some feeling abit special in thier own way.

After all there where no titan weapons existing when the fangs of ruluruu where fashioned into weapons

Staves I am hoping more for martial arts/magic ones mainly myself and maybe elemental themed as well.

How about this: When Pulse Rifle came out, a lot of weapon models were made for it. So why didn't Pulse Rifle attacks for Robotic Masterminds get them?

This has been my single biggest gripe with this game ever since weapon/power customization came out in the first place. I keep seeing new pistols added. New rifles added. New swords and axes and maces added. Hell, Archery has more options. But, the only options for a Bots MM was the incredibly ugly legacy pulse rifle, a tintable version of the incredibly ugly pulse rifle and something that can really only be described as some sort of alien bladder gun. The only other weapons available at all were Vanguard weapons that had to be unlocked through Vanguard Merits. Now we have that rifle thing from the Steampunk pack. Which is great, but had to be purchased. All two of the default options are still lame.


your = Belonging to you.
you're = Contraction meaning "You are."
Ur = The name of an ancient Mesopotamian city.
ur = This is not a word.

Pulse Rifle has a few weapons now. It has the Original weapon in tintable and non-tintable format, the techno bagpipes, plus the weapons from the various packs - Steampunk, Celestial and Vanguard. That's not too shabby, until you remember that Beam Rifle has probably as many more, and there isn't a meaningful argument that I can think of for why these weapons aren't available between the powersets. I would be perfectly happy if I had to buy Beam Rifle for this. I'd buy the set in a heartbeat if I could use its weapons, but no. That can't happen. Because because.

Yeah, I mentioned both Vanguard and Steampunk. I don't have access to Celestial stuff yet. I'm only on Tier 8 right now. But, that kind of reinforces my point. MMs only have 3 default weapons while all the other weapon sets get at least a few more than that, including Beam Rifle. Which makes no sense at all. If they aren't going to give Bots the same choices as Beam Rifle then they need to take away the legacy pulse rifle, the tintable pulse rifle and the alien bladder techno bagpipes. Which I've never seen anyone, anywhere, use. Ever. Because they are ridiculously hideous. It doesn't even look like a gun! I think the artist lost a bet or something. It's the only possible explanation.
