Lines Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 Not going to lie, utility belt is literally going to change my life. I'll finally land that job I wanted, find the person of my dreams, raise a perfect family of astronauts. All in good time, of course. 3 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patti Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 Next big PATCH is probably going to have one of them. Let's take bets! My money is on the one that doesn't have bolos, because I don't think the animation for the bolos was done back in 2012. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should probably take it out and replace it with Immobilizing Dart or something. I'm also curious what animation would be used for Flying Strike (maybe Savage Leap). Here are the charts for these 2 power pools in case people haven't seen it. Utility Belt: The following table shows the level at which each power is available: Power Level Effect Bolas 4 Ranged, Foe Immobilize, Knockdown Poisoned Dagger 4 Ranged, Moderate DMG(Lethal), Foe Light DoT(Toxic), -DMG Freerunning 4 Toggle: Self, +Jump, +Run Speed, +Special Flying Strike 14 Charge (Targeted AoE), High DMG(Smash), Foe Knockdown Life Support System 14 Self, +HP, +Heal Over Time, +Special Gadgetry: The following table shows the level at which each power is available: Power Level Effect Nano Net 4 Ranged, Foe -Speed, -Recharge, -Fly, -Regen Blaster Drone 4 Ranged, Moderate DMG(Energy), Foe -Regen Jetpack 4 Toggle: Self Fly, (Special) Drone Barrage 14 Ranged Cone, Moderate DMG(Energy), Foe -Regen Force Barrier 14 Self, +Absorb Both of these would fit many of my concept characters and I would love to see them in game. I hope Freerunning will stack with Ninja Run; that would be killer. I'm not a fan of Bolas though, They don't seem like a fit for many concepts. It would be nice if they were able to have alternate animations for it like a dagger, dart, shuriken, web grenade, etc. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having a supply of Bat-Shark Repellant would completely invalidate Captain Mako. 1 4 Currently playing on Indomitable as @Zork Nemesis; was a Protector native on live.

Blackbird71 Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 The HC devs seem more focused on "balancing" (i.e., fixing or nerfing, depending on your perspective) existing power sets/pools rather than introducing new ones. Considering that regular MMOs with full-time paid staffs spend years working on this same idea and never achieve the mythical idea of balance, I don't expect the volunteer team to get to new power sets/pools any time soon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HC devs have already added the Will Power and Experimentation power pool on top of Electrical Affinity and Sonic Manipulation power sets. The most recent patches have been more focused on power balance, but that's more reason to believe future patches will focus on other stuff instead (and in fact a preview suggests we will get an earth related power set in the future). In either case, the dev team aren't ants endlessly circling their own trail in a death spiral, they'll balance things just enough that they are satisfied with the results and then move on. 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arcane Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 We already glimpsed a new earth power so I would assume earth blast or support is the next entirely new set/pool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
