Water Blast!

That timeline is legit dude, easy to navigate since the screen centers on your cursor when you zoom in and out, good stuff. It's a simple feature that should be in any software where zooming is necessary, but amazingly is not. I have to deal with some mapping software at work that in addition to not zooming to the cursor point, actually defaults to having scroll mouse wheel up ZOOM OUT... yes the exact opposite of common sense and every other interface of all time. I was under the impression that some psionic power "rumors" were out though, why aren't they on that timeline?

There's more than just that which isn't part the presentation.

Probably that these three are the ones going to be released sooner, with the other stuff going in far enough down the road that they've still got plenty of work they want/need to do before showing them off.

I get a page with a slideshow panel that remains blank, and a blue progress bar that always fills to 90% and stops. Still, the blue bar is reminiscent of an aqua bolt. So I am pretty pumped.

Water/Storm corruptor or defender should be fun. FF/water maybe. Thermal/water could be fun as an evil Fireman who sets fires and puts them out for news-media glory.

Yes.


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

IF WB turns out to be competitve with Fire (which from the numbers i saw on beta *cough* it has a strong chance to be), I'll either make a water/cold or water/kin corr.

Curious to see if the Nuke has any sort of crash.

...Seriously? Competing with fire blast? O.O

This just in: The Avatar is completely OP.


Goodbye. Not to the game, but the players. Goodbye. Everyone, remember to have fun. That's all I can say.

I don't see that there is one, but the little combo system it has sounds fun and interactive. I 'speculate' that Water Jet may combine the Momentum mechanic, Street Justice combo levels and Burn Out.

yah I'm waiting til it at least hits beta before really discussing 'speculation'. Not that I expect it to change drastically, in which case, it's the first non-redraw set without a crashing nuke (I think).

Doubt it, considering the powers team hates crash nukes.

Now if only they'd hate them enough to change them

I'm thrilled about Water Blast. Hopefully there's a Water Control and/or Support set lurking out there too. I assume Water Assault is a given, eventually.

Also privately hoping the changes to Gravity Control and the addition of Beast Mastery were exploratory steps toward Gravity Blast and Swarm Blast.

If there's one thing that Beast Mastery showed me, it's that more than anything I want an Avian Blast set.

Absolutely not joking.

I begged for Dual Pistols, and see where that set sits.

Just saying

Seriously though, this might be a blast set I actually purchase if the animations come out looking good for the blasts (hopefully one doesnt just stand there)

I agree...we can call it Hitchcock's Revenge or something lol. The Bugs and the Birds NEVER gets old...Also I want them to bring back RODAN HAWK! I want to see a pic of it Attacking Hami with the old scale model.

Water control would be great as well (hyuk) or Water Melee!! Rain from MK anyone?

Water Assault sounds great as well...I demand water Melee and Water Assault for I25 or I26! lol

I agree that an Avian Blast set would be incredible. Hopefully unlike Beast Mastery they would keep the concept of Avians seperate from Insects. I think it's okay for them to be combined for BM, but would really want insects seperated from birds for the derived sets.

Indeed, I play the bees off as "Starlings" for my petless BM MM, Birdman of Ziggursky.

He's pretty terrible really (as petless MMs are wont to be), but I love the concept.




(I've considered leveling him all the way to 50 using DfBs. He's support (/Time) so always handy for the trial, and being petless is less of a deal when he'd only have 1 or 2 minion pets anyhow.)

You could call him Crassus.

Quote:
Most notorious was his acquisition of burning houses: when Crassus received word that a house was on fire, he would arrive and purchase the doomed property along with surrounding buildings for a modest sum, and then employ his army of 500 clients to put the fire out before much damage had been done. Crassus's clients employed the Roman method of firefighting—destroying the burning building to curtail the spread of the flames.

This will no doubt be a pay set. Bio Armor will likely be free - and I am unsure on Nature but I bet that will be a pay set also. Psy melee will likely be a pay set too.

...but yeah, I can just imagine the huge amount of work for poor Tunnel Rat and her team regarding water effects - so Water Blast is extremely likely to be a pay set.
