Video of Water Blast (Beta)

It's interesting to see a new "Stuff Blasting" set, since the last few ones we've got where weapon sets. It benefits nicely from the new approach to animations. I feels like Kinetic Melee without the whooshing build-u (especially the tier 1) so people who had previously used Kin melee as a stand-in for water powers should be very happy with it.

I have to say, I like the look of this.

Other games lose momentum and fall by the wayside.
CoH seems to just keep getting better and better (with, admittedly, a few speed bumps along the way )

It actually looks like they used some of the Kinetic Melee animations in a few spots, or at least portions of it. Which I'm cool with. It's a very fluid set.

Thanks Zman for the post.

Yeah, thanks Zombie Man for posting this. I can't get on Beta so it's nice to see things that are coming out, even if I'm not terribly interested in them. It's really cool to see so many people hyped up for this set.

The only minor irritation about this new set is that it isn't available to Dominator's. I would remake my alt the Aquatic Geomancer in a heartbeat.

Sort of related, I always pictured Water as more of a control set, so hearing that it would come out as a blast set kind of threw me at first

If the devs are vigilant and ban Rkelly impersonators I think this set will be fine.

It looks like a gorgeous set by the way. And I second the motion with the right tint you can make it look like lava.

Since when is using an allowed color customization option a bannable offense?

I'm sure that the devs will make a pre-emptive strike by altering the color palate used for the water blast set.

That's a perfectly valid decision for them to make, but if they choose not to do that the only petitionable thing would be an offensive or copyright issue name.

I also wish it was available for dominators as I have 'Valeria Undine' (Ice/Energy (recolored to water)) ... I will still remake her though. THats then one dominator less and a Water/Ice blaster back.

Would have preferred the set in sominator But it looks too freaking awesome not to play with the theme I have.

To be able to be a dominator set, wouldn't Water Blast need a couple melee powers? They could probably edit one in, but it would be about the same as having dual pistols for dominators. (which would be awesome)

Even if they don't it would still be TECHNICALLY impossible to make a "Pee Blaster" as none of the animations have the water effect coming from the character's crotch.

I hope not, I don't want it to end up as limited as Ice.

Actually, they've said they won't. As it would limit creativity too much (as there are ideas that use the same colors as the "bad" ideas.) They're going to "welcome all the new soda, honey, and mud blasters with open arms."

I already have plans for an alt named "Pink Lemon Aide" A (Water/Emp) vigilante 11 year old that wears pink clothes, heals the injured, and punishes bullies with "yellow" lemonade blasts of Justice.

Now if we could only get the devs to make a Cookie "shield" I could make Pink a girl scout companion.

Ok I'll say it. The amount of time people have spent dealing with the pee blaster issue is really disturbing. WTH is up with you people.


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

I'm not surprised by the piddle puddle pity party, nor the piddle puddle party poopers.
