Water is On The Brain!

[Nealix]

I was watching this SOE live DCUO and the part they were talking about new powers there were a lot of calls for WATER!  CoH powers are what people want other games to have too!  Starts around 25:45 with munitions.  When they go to the second power you hear the crowd yell WATER!

I was just watching that too and came to the same conclusion.

Marvel, CO and DCUO are all still trying to catch up to what CoH was providing years ago.

What makes me sad is thinking about all the new powers we would of had if the game hadn't been shut down.

At the rate they were being released after Freedom, I'm sure we'd have a good bunch by now.

I've not played many of the combinations out there and I had most of the servers full of characters.

Yeah we could have gotten Pancake control or Snail MMs but we got the basics covered.

There's several "new" powersets that can be seen in Icon, some with obviously-placeholder animations: Radiation Armor and Melee, Wind Control, Psionic Melee, and Savage Melee.  Those would probably have been done long before now had the game gone on.

There was a post on the official forums that also listed a bunch of other powersets in the works that we'd probably have by now: Close Quarters Weapons, Wind Blast, Magnetic Blast, Sniper Rifle, Autumnal Blast, Thrown Weapons, Magnetic Control, Water Control, Light Affinity, and Wind Assault

... meanwhile, CO still doesn't even have the long-requested Plant powers that CoH had years ago.  (Knowing CO, though, if they did introduce plant or nature powers, they'd be nothing but ranged attacks and/or heals)
