nature powerset
Also, I still want CLOWN powers- silly fun is still fun, after all!
There are numerous powersets that need to be looked at so IMO new powersets can wait until those are fixed.
Time
Radiation
Let's complete the under-populated damage categories!
Whips - I've advocated for this since launch...
Quarterstaves - It's the major gap in melee weapons...
M-O-O-N, that spells @Rhyatt

Super Speed - More movement-based shenanigans here. You could have a 'run in a circle slurry of punches' type move (Donut AoE!), a more active looking multiple-blows energy builder and starter. And a 'hold this down and everywhere I run I deal damage while moving fast' kinda like sword cyclone in a smaller radius. Stuff like this. I know, MA can do some stuff but it still doesn't feel right. There should be a new sort of mechanic added for it, and some sort of way of being a specialist at being fast.
My dictionary says self‐sacrifice is very Heroic like in Dragon Ball.
BTW if villains had this kind of power, Game will be much more exciting.

Water
Staff
Plants
+1 Nature (Plants)
+1 Water
These are powerset the devs have also said they wanted to do but wanted to do right, which means time and labor (i.e.: money to pay for employees to work) resources.
*ahem* Owned.
Consolidate the currencies! (Please!)
Does your Champion have a theme song? (share it!)
Got a funny in-game screenshot? (share it!)
Please fix the Overdrive energy unlock! (Should help promote thematic build diversity!)
Can you guess what that is? :biggrin:
+1 Water
I guess a sonic(sound) based powerset would be cool too.
+1 Sonic
Of the choices offered, Super-Speed and Sonic. Two considerable gaps in classic comic book powers (though so are Shield, Plants. and a few others.)
Thanks Jasin. But my choice for a Star*Guard powerset won't be considered until we get a space zone -- and that won't be for a long time, at best -- so I'll stick to my original two.
That's it, because I want Soul Vortex and badass sovereign son magic bolts and voodoo doll sigils as powers. (Also raven/crow flight.)
Snark never dies.
I realize this is a typo, but I keep envisioning one of my characters throwing exploding Chinese takeout boxes at their enemies.
I'm going to throw my dusty pennies in with the nature fans. This seems like it could be a great crowd control class, with area denial and holds via vines. It'd be interesting to see something like vine-walls which mobs can't cross (because mobs are solid, and the walls would also be solid) and things of that ilk.
Therakiel getting you down? Throw up an expensive vine wall, which blocks all of his incoming powers. He has to attack the vine wall rather than attacking the players, and the vine wall has its own health. When the vine wall's health is depleted, it falls, thus removing the protection the players had.
But if the players need a chance to regroup, something like a vinewall would be amazing. It could even be a circle around a given area. You, as a player, can't attack through it, either. It's a purely defensive thing so that everyone can get their **** together. Something like that might actually save a party or two.
Another thing with this powerset could be creeping vines. A vine that runs along the ceiling to a foe, then snatches them up and drags them to you without alerting the other foes nearby. Thus providing for an awesome stealth move.
Then you have the easy poison ivy stuff - plants which spew toxic clouds, venus fly-trap pets, and whatnot. And that would help to round it out nicely. This could be a really interesting and unusual powerset if done right, which is why I'm definitely throwing my money in with nature. Yup. Nature's the way to go!
And and quarterstaff.
2- Shapeshifter (works with/enhances your become devices, no need to equip them)
[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]
This was awesome while it lasted
_______________________________________________
For my second vote, though... Hmm... I'm really torn... As with Mijjestic, I'd love Super Speed shenanigans like rapid-fire punches, donut AoE vortexes, phasing through objects, vibration damage, causing things to explode via energy transfer, hyper-dodging, running on water, etc...Your Flash/Quicksilver type stuff.
That being said, most of those effects can be simulated fairly well as it is (especially with all the existing speed-travel powers).
I'm going to use my second vote towards: Clown powers.
We've got the toy pets now, but a larger variety of wind-up tinker-toys and balloon animal pets would be groovy.
Throw in acid-flower boutineers, stun/electric damage joy buzzers, "Bang!"-flag guns, 52-card pick-up or other playing card attacks, and other existing powers like make a more effective "Dancing Ball" power (basically a "Paralyze" power with the effect being the target is dancing under a disco ball) and Fox Bat powers like that "bubble-gum-snare-gun" he has.
A ballon flight power would be neat too! (I picture this as either holding a bunch of ballons and drifting away and/or just a basic horizontal-flight power with the hero being held up by the midsection by one or more colorful balloons.)
Or perhaps more accurately call it "Stage Performer" Powerset, as you could include things from Stage Magicians (Magic wands, hats, bunnies, scarves) and Vaudeville-themed stuff like juggling (bowling pins, knives), acrobatics, mimes (force field walls anyone? lol)
I lol'd! :biggrin: No disrespect to Monaahiru, I just thought the quips were funny. Heh. Besides, having a "kamikaze" power wouldn't be that big of a sacrifice in a game with no "death-penalty" and a tangible life-after-death (ie you just respawn and away you go).
:cool:

Daggers- both throwing daggers and dual wielding them , seeing that boomerangs and dual blades won't cut it for me
the more data we get the better
(disguised bump hehe)
Plant set would be nice too. I wouldn't use it myself, but I would love to see other people use it, especially since I've seen some very creative plant-based costumes around that are SCREAMING "Give me vine powers of some sort!". Lots of Roots (ba-dum-pish) and holds, and the abovementioned vine wall idea is nice too, like a temporary safe-zone in which players can heal each other up, that's cool. Lots of toxic damage and generally being DoT, with less focus on DPS. So, it's mostly a support powerset that you stay out of the thick of battle whilst using, doing DoT AoEs and keeping people out of danger as best as you can.
I'd like to see a food powerset, bacon powers ^_^
paniced kittens- bleed attacks(4 on the floor and 1 set in the mouth)
rodents- choke- well if you get a head shot
excited puppy - disorient or knock down as they piddle on contact out of excitement
skunk toss- aoe stun
platypus- hold- as they stare at it
small furry sheild (drag your minds out of the gutter) - hold an animal in line of fire and have 20 activists jump in the way
Ultimate- squirrel army -(blame Doc_Nova for this one)

There should be an energy builder or something that lets you throw half-eaten sandwiches at people. There should be a tier 4 power or something that throws 30 cats at people.
...and Sonic the Hedgehog powers. :P
*Fiery Melee powers.
*Icey Melee powers.
*Electric Melee powers.
*Force Melee powers.
*Darkness (cos everyone likes Darkness) Melee powers.
-Fists, Axes, Hammers etc.
*More Pistol Powers.

Not really... there is a death penalty in Zombie Apocalypse, and Gravitar alert, and there could be a time penalty (reuse timer). It's basically just unleashed rage.
I actually think it's a funny idea. Doesn't have to be bomb-related, although it could be. When Raiden used Self-Sacrifice explosion in Mortal Kombat; it didn't have anything to do with the Pentagon's lies and propaganda... and how about Cyrax's self-destruct fatality?
Also, not all people in this game are "heroic." So many players use all this black magic and balls of flies and dark stuff :P
After that (and only after) then we can start on a radiation/energy set. (not force, but fwoosh pew pew it buuurns my eyes blastiness)
daggers (preferably with a sai weapon )
shapeshifting
staff
since its 2 per person
Make Panicked Kittehs the Tier 4, 30-cat power. :P
oo! Can you elaborate on what these powers would be like?
How about projectile fists?
Although, I am quite desperate for dagger/knives action, I really want to have a character with a dagger or a sai, also whips and plants, and I think that elemental melee can be achieved if they implemented more emanation points or auras.
[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]
I used to be Hies but then Perfect World wasn't so perfect and now I'm piercingwhistle! Here, have this thread from my long-gone account. AoE Projectile Set!
Whips, because ranged slashing would be nice.
Brick_McDuggins in game.
water
I wanted to add in spines but naaaaah, sonic and water. Mostly sonic since it is a completely unused damage type.
I say stuff and I say things, sometimes together but only when I'm feeling adventurous.
I'm @blu8 in game!
whips
That Dork In The Suspenders, signing out.
