    I want to believe it will be either Celestial or Ice to match the Christmas event (Celestial = Holy Light, Holy Night) very fitting for the occasion​​

    i'm hoping for gadgeteering...because right now, it's a horrible mess - too many redundant or useless 'newb trap' powers​​

    I'm going with Gadgeteering because wind-up toys are a holiday thing. Next will be archery to tie into Cupid and Valentine's day. Third will be Force, because that will be April in the USA when we are "forced" to pay taxes ;)

    The thing about gadgeteering is that it actually has a bunch of nice powers -- to dip into for a character using a different power set. What it lacks is a set of core powers you can use as your primary activity.

    Winter is coming, so it's gonna be Ice. Have the Ice ATs in the Krampus event store, a new Icy sidekick device, maybe even a big dumb new vehicle made of ice, and ice weapons, and a AF made of ice, ice mask, a cosmic key pack with a Brain Freeze device that builds up charges as you attack and then unleashes a big dumb frost breath once you have enough charges, a new Ice Ultimate where you flash freeze a bunch of things and then they explode, and snowman body costumes that will let Bumburger make even more horrifying characters for years to come! \o/

    "Review", Ice was softly touched, not 100% revamped just because it was one of the first revamped powersets and devs didn't had enough time to experiment with it

    Ice is still a hot mess full of outdated worthless powers and broken mechanics (max 3 Chilled stacks among players) which makes it suffer like Telepathy before they fixed the global stucks

    Have multiply Ice Lancers users in a cosmic fight and only 1 of them will get the bonuses from chill

    Besides Munitions got revamped TWICE because it was also one of the first frames they worked on​​

    unlike telepathy, however, ice can hold its own in any role except support...and melee, i suppose, since it doesn't have many close-range attacks​​

    Strictly speaking, I don’t think any of them will be finished by the end of the year. That’s only a month and a half away, we’ll be having winter event stuff, and I hope our devs are getting plenty of time off for the holidays this month and next.

    So, I answered for what I hope will be next. Might is fine, though I’d love a good damage, no-knock/knock-up aoe. Earth, however, is awful compared to other sets. Damage needs to be upped, especially on the melee side. Would be great to have the possibility for ranged or melee characters (Earth melee is the weak link of this poop chain), and maybe even ones that use both (a good version of AotM as a new toggle?).

    It does have a lot of cool graphics, so that’s a plus. Just needs some love.

    Wind probably needs it the worst in reality, it's really badly hit by the defense-debuff changes. Earth and Force can at least edge by since they have Burst Shot and crap to fall back on. Wind's suffering from lackluster ranged attacks and basically only exists so that Hurricane can continue to just plow through stuff while moving.

    Though stuff like Wind, Earth, Archery, and Force are difficult to fix due to the nature of the defense-debuff setups we have going right now (you can get insanely high crushing damage debuff stacks going.) Same reason Gadgeteering probably is going to be held off because it has like 0% damage type or build cohesion to begin with.

    My guess is probably going to be something questionably already overpowered that can quickly be nerfed/adjusted without throwing other powersets into disarray. It'll probably be something like Fire since it's already stacking like 3 different resist debuffs across the board, some of which aren't intuitive at all. Probably a welcome change so that Fire can become something more than 'just fuel Conflagration damage constantly.'

    The game needs more viable 50 range ranged builds, that's where fire should stay. There's a whole middle area there we could full up with that wonderful build diversity.

    Why isn't MA on the list?

    Anyway, I really do hope Earth gets revamp soon. It's one of the underwhelming sets with nice animations.

    Archery needs 2 Melee Attacks for close combat.
    1) A you are too close so I stab you with an arrow attack
    2) An all of you are too close so I swing my BOW and hit all you you.

    I hope that Ult is a 100ft range. I'm excited to see what other fire powers are gonna be available! Will it have more synergy with HW or be more of a standalone powerset?

    Want to get to know me a bit better, Click me and take a read of My Dragon Profile Page, it's a bit dated but still relevant.

    I take this quote from a review that I agree with.

    "customisation is so linear; everyone is after the optimal dps:survivability ratio with 0 reliance on other players = autonomous gameplay... Players don't need each other anymore... which in my opinion is a bad thing."

    Meh... fire...
    EDIT: dont get me wrong I like fire and Elemental attacks in general, but right now OTHER powerframes need emergency revamp more than others (Force, Gadgets, Celestial, Archery e.t.c needs more attention because they are a Trainwreck)

    ALSO WHY FIRE FOR CHRISTMAS?​​

    When it comes to power updates - I trust the devs. Power framworks (and AT's) are in a much better place then they were before Kaiserin's hire. Fire has some issues and if that framework gets the same treatment as others, I'll be pleased.

    I've never been able to play a fire class in any game due to having an outdated computer; the graphics were too much for my primitive PC to handle. However now that I have an upgrade, I might be able to give it a try.

    I still really wish we could have single pistol attacks, there's so many animations for it in the game but Steady Shot is the only one available right now. And if we were looking for a way to introduce it as an AT: (unsubtle plug) :)
