You can't respec origin. Ergo, making anything new origin specific, while also stupid from a numbers/mechanics point of view is also going to hack off a bunch of people for any number of reasons. Origin is fine the way it is. |

Meh, no one/nothing is fool-proof. You've been wrong before and so have I.
There's always hope that power pool customization will happen some time...just like the new NW arcs say, "there's always hope, no matter how small." ^_^

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

I usually disapprove of origin-specific powersets, but it's very likely they have most of the graphics done with talons of vengeance, so developer resources aren't being put to waste.

It does make me wonder what's part of this set though. And if there are other origin specific sets to come as well. I could see a whole slew of gadget related fiddly things for a tech power pool, just way too many possible options to really nail down a specific need/want list though. Science could be a series of thrown/drank from beakers or gas grenades, so you could have a clicky resist or def buff or a super serum-type shot to resist stuns etc.
What would Mutant or Natural get though?
Natural might get something similar to Fighting or the old Fitness pool, perhaps. (before that was complementary. Gotta wonder what the newbies think of that)
Gotta wonder if they'll be Original exclusive, would be nice to have some Origin themed perks, though on the other hand I've always respected the devs' insistence on making cosmetic stuff purely cosmetic.
We'll have to see what Sorcery ends up being before we make any remotely educated guesses.

Out of all the odd superhero things that seems to be missing from all the comic book themed MMOs, I'm surprised that nobody has a Boomerang set. It's used in both big companies across a number of characters that I imagine it should be somewhat fair game as a possible set. I could see it being a great power pool, maybe a bit attack heavy though.|

Well, if I was making Origin-exclusive powers I'd probably make em a power pool. (though that makes me wary of something like Feats in Dungeons and Dragons, where a misc power setting turns into total option overload)
On the other hand, I think Boomerang would work better as a full on Ranged Attack type powerset. Maybe. I'm not sure how things work at the moment.

But, I imagine a couple of these leaks were supposed to be unveiled for the first time at the Player Summit, which, I believe, was promising exclusive reveals. It's a bit of a shame that it's out there for everybody to see.
But, as you said, what can you really do at this point, in terms of squashing rumors that are already out there?
Have the mods said anything against it? If not, I imagine it's fair game.

I can definitely see that, but given an option of more options as opposed to less, I'll almost always lean towards a more open system. |

They have modded/deleted a number of posts containing pictures, so I'd imagine that's some sort of statement.
