Unfinished Powerful Pools

[tavmminqat]

Before live ended there were place to add the Devices, Experimental, Strength of Will, and Utility belt power pools. The old page even has it listed as most of what the planned powers were going to be. I know it's not an easy thing to add power pools, but I was wondering if it would be possible to reuse assets to finish those pools and add them to the game? It's definitely something that I feel would add some great quality of life to the game.

I don't think the issue is with how hard it would be to add them. That would probably be a flip of the switch sort of thing. The problem is with adding pools that are balanced. Useful enough for people to want to take them, but not so broken or just universally useful that they become must haves.

 

Hasten from Speed is an example of a power that is just so good that almost everyone takes it. Everyone interested in optimizing at least. As opposed to Flurry from the same pool that almost no one takes.

 

All the work would go into making sure the new pools had stuff that was between the two.

Mostly I want these powerpools because I feel that they'd be good to continue what was started with sorcery (which I think is very fun). I do agree with the fear of everyone taking them if they're broken, which is why I think it'd be good to get them in the beta sooner rather than later. Easier to test them and see how they go as it were.

I don't understand how the premier Super Hero MMORPG never had Utility Belt as a power pool.

 

Fix this injustice!

The version of Mids/Pine I got when I first came HC had them listed, I did several builds with them in before realising they weren't actually in HC, I was disappointed. 😞

I'm sure devices and or utility belt would be high on the list. So many street level characters would benefit.
