Give us some new powers not just augments please?

[Razorcide]

I can’t be the only one that’s run out of inspiration with the power sets we have available.

Who else agrees?

What would you like to see?

I personally want elastic stretchy powers to be a thing with maybe some kind of blob/ball rolling transformation movement style a bit like katamari damacy kinda thing, so I can finally add elasti-girl to my doom patrol roster

Maybe even some kind of teleportation movement if that can be balanced, a kind of super speed and flight combined with invisibility between starting and stopping might work for that, like a delayed teleport rather than instant, I’d be happy with that

A straight up regeneration power that focuses on an endurance fighter health tank build.

A straight up super strength just big punching kicking knockback control tank style, these are just a few of my suggestions, maybe if enough of us want similar stuff the devs will take it on board and maybe they will even read this

Let me know your thoughts and ideas anyway

They are not adding new Powersets but the most realistic thing that they can do is change up some of the moves and make a negative speed force

All of us want new powersets. They don't have resources to make them. They're having trouble refreshing already existing powersets. The best they can do is augments.

Why is it so complicated to do? Most Powersets are mostly different in Aesthetics, they have more or less the same Abilities like a Shield, Weapon Buff, AoE, Supercharge Generator etc. Couldn’t they make 4-6 new Powersets, sell them on the Marketplace and include them in a Membership+ and then make a Power Array Augment out of them?

Sure, sure... It's taking close to a year to update an existing powerset, but they could just pull 6 new ones out of thin air. Lol. When they used to release new powersets, it was one every couple of years. Why do you think that was, if it was so simple to do? They did include them in membership and sold them on MP - and they saw that majority of players didn't care about them. That's why they're not going to waste time and resources on making more, no matter how much a few people on the forum cry about it.

Where did I say it's easy to do? I asked why it's so complicated since most Powersets do the same thing with a different Aesthetic.

So if you know why they can't just make different animated Powetsets with more or less the same Abilities, tell us.

First of all, if you think that all powersets are essentially the same, just with different graphics, because each has a shield, a power generator and a finisher - it shows that you're woefully ignorant of how existing powersets work. Maybe before you start nagging for more, you should familiarize yourself with what's already available. Most people moaning about new powersets have never learned to use even one properly. Those people will never be happy, because a week after new powerset is released, they realize that it hasn't magically made them even remotely competent at the game and they demand more.

Secondly, the main reason why they won't release new powersets that are just reskins of old ones is - what would be the point? Most players are not interested in powersets that have new mechanics and offer different playstyles. Even fewer would want something that's just Gadgets with a differently colored shield, or whatever. And since now they're adding new abilities in the form of augments and artifacts, which require players to put in some time and/or money into - it would make even less sense to work much harder on something, that a small minority of players would get for free, toy with for a week or 2, decide "it's trash" and come back crying for more. It happened before and the devs know it very well, so it's unlikely that a few spoiled children promising "big, big $$$" and throwing tantrums on the forums or on Reddit, are going to change their minds.

Adding more powersets - even if all that's different about them is "Aesthetic" - has all sorts of ramifications down the line: more powersets to balance, update, fix bugs in, et cetera. Also - more lag and strain on older hardware, because of more animations to cache. All that - just to please nobody.

Feel free to keep moaning about it, or whatever else you imagine would magically make the game better for people, who - instead of learning how to play it - expect a 15-years-old game to adjust to their whims. But you've been told multiple times, why new powersets are not going to happen and that most players don't need them (just look how little interest there is in threads like this one) and would much prefer, that existing ones are fixed, updated and balanced.

Players play the game and learn how to make the most of what's available. Children nag and stomp their feet. Which one do you want to be?

Most Powersets have similar Abilities, yes. It’s more or less the same thing, with Channeled Powers, single Target, AoE etc..

Some People want them for some Reason. I’m reading a lot of People sharing their Ideas of new Powers like Shadow/Darkness etc. I would assume they like the Look of it, in the End it’s a RPG.

Why for free? You need at least a Membership or you need to buy new Powersets. They can include new Powersets in a new Membership Tier and make Augments out of them.

I didnt moaned about it, you’re imaging Stuff in your Head out of thin Air, I asked why it’s so complicated to make them. Multiple Times? What are you making up in your Head? Again, I asked why it’s complicated to do. I never requested a new Powerset. I would like to see new ones and maybe try it out with a Alt, yes. But didnt said we must have new Ones. Additionally I don’t really know why you are thinking a new Powerset will make anyone better, no one mentioned that.

Thats exactly what everyone is doing, here is someone who opens a Thread about a Topic (doesn’t matter how likely or unlikely something is) and wants to discuss about it, the only one who is stomping with their Feet and imaging things in their Head that don’t exist because a Topic like that popped up is you.

Lol... Like I said - you are clueless. There's no point arguing with someone without even basic understanding of the game. Learn to play, or keep demanding more new toys and be unhappy, when you don't get them. It's up to you.

Besides that being more ‘pay to win’, there would still be other abilities that would out class that and be called unfair.

But powersets were different before the powerset revamp which made them all the fkn same. I loved rage tanking but now it’s not unique anymore. With every power being practically the same with what ya said, who cares anymore.

Im not saying they must be overpowered, just a way how it could be monetised.

Would also like more Mechanics that are different from each other, but still are balanced. But adding or inventing new Mechanics makes new Powersets even less likely to get adapt, than it is now.

 

[LLSmoothJ]

I'm the guy who's been wanting/wishing for a Blue Lantern healer and a Wind troller power set, but at this point, power array augments are your best bet.

 

[Essential Exobyte]

I wonder what we get next for a ring. Hopefully it’s not quantum’s time bomb, that hits like a fluffy pillow.

Maybe support roles could get some rings that can amplify stuff like: able to cc perma stun, or focus power dumps, or whatever.

I still think they're going to release a Kryptonian Power Array Augment. Super-Strengh, Freezing Breath, and Heat Vision, plus 2 or 3 other powers from NPCs or Legends Avatars, plus Prec, Might, Dom, and Health.

According to the homecoming vendor, the devs plan to keep Voivode (and her "cool new shadow powers?") relevant. Seems possible, right?

Which Homecoming Vendor? You mean we could get a Black Lantern Ring?

 

[Jafin]

Which Homecoming Vendor? You mean we could get a Black Lantern Ring?

I think they just meant because the vendor has some style items based off Voivode.

 

[8vAv8]

I think they just meant because the vendor has some style items based off Voivode.

I thought that was added because Voivode is a Teen/Young which fits the Homecoming Event.

Or do the Devs sprinkle in Hints like that for future Stuff?

Voivode plot is still unresolved, they probably are/were planning on adding her to a Titans story or something.

So it's not a Hint for a future Ring..
