New melee secondaries!

For Blasters and Doms!

How does Victory feel about this?

I can think of a lot of great concepts, but it feels late in the day to be rolling new toons for them... (says the man who always rolls new toons when new powersets come out)

I like them. First new sets in a while that immediately want me to give them a try.

Title of the thread is misleading!!! Most people would think you are talking about tanker attack sets or about scrapper/brute armors.

I am excited for these, I think the dom one sounds particularly cool

Not posted by a Redname? Once again something talked about on their way to trying too hard to be extra hip?

Instafail for me.

As for the proposed info, sounds interesting. I always wanted Dual Pistols to be a short range scrapper set to pair with SR, but with a martial arts theme secondary for blasters (plus all the blaster changes impedning), it sounds really compelling for me. I've not had interest in blasters in years.

Not sure about the Dom one. Doms are tough for me to get into; out of 3 level'd, I only really liked one, plus several nonstarters. I can't really see a good pairing for a primary for me.

But first!! Give me my god damn Bio armor and nature!

It was intentionally misleading!

To be fair, it was on one of their coffee talk things. Here's a link to the video.

Of course I did find out about it on Facebook first. I do with that if they announce something new like this that they also post on the Forums about it, but maybe they will before the week is out.

Fair about what? The coffee talk things are lumped in with the rest of the crap. And they can't even bother to transcribe the things themselves to make it "official"?

I don't have the time nor interest in watching Rednames talk in general, especially about random, nonsensical chatter that seems to always take up the majority of the whole endeavor (inferred from my reading of transcribed situations from other forum people.)

Anyway, yeah. Not a fan of the direction that's been ham fisted into a medium that has worked perfectly fine for 7+ years.

Actually the coffee talks lately have been pretty good about sticking to topic, so if they say 'we're going to talk about power sets' you get a pretty good chunk of an hour talking about power sets instead of before where 20 minutes could be eaten up by idle banter (especially in the beginning). This one is worth a watch I'd say, they get into it pretty quick.

Plus Hawk is too cute, he blushes so hard

As for the sets in question. Eh. Call me non-plussed. Not that they're bad, but the concepts don't really thrill me. Probably because I'm more a 'magic' kinda guy so all the elemental stuff in the control and assault sets are already appealing.

On the other hand, since we don't have it, it did lead to suggesting 'ninjitsu control' as a primary. Probably never going to happen, but it seems like a fun idea anyway.

I actually agree with you, Voo. You shouldn't need to follow the game on Twitter, FB, or G+ (or all three, for some of us!) to keep up with the latest.

That being said...

ZOMG Customizable Pool Powers in Issue 24!

Still disappointed in the lack of water control and whip set.

I have a strong feeling that we will get something like this.

Which makes no sense (whip). They already have half the animations worked out, seems like it would be an easy one to crap out.

In reverse order, how does one blush talking about game development? O.o

But an hour or 10 minutes makes no difference to me; I can either spend that hour actually playing the game OR watching something I don't want to(?), but I don't magically get more time. I still have zero interest in listening to them/watching them stumbling through something that they *should* be able to hammer out for a much easier consumption; something I can skim through while at work duing a quick break like this.

And if it comes out later in print form officially, that's X time that people have already been talking about it and probably done with. On top of that, its being commented on here on the forums by them, but is it also being discussed on the FB/twitter/look-at-me sites as well? Fragmentation is awesome!

Also Shamster, I really don't want them to put in a crap set no matter how many times you bring it up.

Like I really need a reason to make another blaster

you'd have to watch it to understand.
