I am sorry.
The development team and this community deserved better than this from NC Soft. Best wishes on your search.

Seriously no big deal. I just wanted to make it clear I'm not basing anything I say here on direct "insider" knowledge. The only thing I really have going for me here is that I've played the game fairly regularly for 8 years now and I've got a good idea on how and why the Devs do what they do based on that experience. |

Woman: Mr. Churchill, what kind of woman do you think I am?!

"With the power sets we're making now, we're actually answering very frequently requested power sets. Extremely frequently requested power sets. And I will go ahead and say this: One of them is not clown summoning. Or carp melee. Or Hamster launching."
Which implies, of course, that if there are two powersets coming up, one is not clown summoning, carp melee, or hamster launching.
The other power set, however...

I Would love if it was a mixture of the "Psychic claw/karate chop" look and the "Psychic blast in melee range" look. I like the idea of psychic chopping dudes, but I want to use telekinesis too!

Then I figured this would mean shurikens and such, not limb dismemberment.
One powerset I'd really love to see is another armor powerset. We haven't had one since Shields in Issue 13, I believe.
I think a "Toxic Armor" set would be neat, one that more debuffs your enemies while giving yourself some resistances. I sort of see it as a set like Fire Aura (i.e., DoT aura, a few shields, self-heal) but all the powers carry some PBAOE debuff like -tohit (as a sort of defense) or -dam (as a sort of resistance) and slow, -rech, etc debuffs on top of some light to moderate actual defenses and resistances. (Except maybe good ranged defense built in, since this otherwise just effects melee toons.)

It's more a "non powered" seconday/manipulation set idea. I.e. A DP/MA blaster or a En/MA blaster "I can shoot you with fire, and I can also kick you in the head" type of thing|

I sort of look to it as a "Chi Manipulation" secondary that would combine bits of MA, Kinetic Melee and the Body Mastery APP.

It certainly would be a shame not to put one of Positron's favorite concepts for a Powerset in game.

I don't care what powerset we get. I just want Penelope Yin's pet power!

They said it was not a MM.
I would think you would be embarrassed to say that other stuff to a Lady. You like to cause trouble.

Not necessarily. If it would be a secondary, it could be melee focused. Look at Energy Assault. It'd probably have Build Up or whatever, some solid melee maybe attacks that might do stuns to help control, and then one of them could be an AoE spinning-kick-thing.

Maybe Psy-Blades!?
If i remember correct, that was a choice out of the poll, which Dual Blades and Shield Defense won.

Clearly they're holding something back to reveal at the Pummit.
We need another armor set before we get another melee set.
