Unreleased Powersets

[Matt Bold]

Is there a list or a webpage that lists all the upcoming powersets that never saw the light of day?  I vaguely remember stumbling onto a non-official site that had screenshots of descriptions of powers that could be accessed from a / command.

The best thing I can tell you is to play around with the lastest version of Icon. There are a few sets in there (some with placeholder animations) that never even saw time on the test server.

I was always keeping my fingers crossed for Dual Chainsaws - sadly I will never know..........

Found these on Paragonwiki:

http://paragonwiki.com/wiki/Secondary_Power_Sets

Looks like Martial Assault, Martial Combat, Psionic Melee, Savage Melee, Radiation Melee, Bio Armor and Radiation Armor were in the works.  I think only Martial Assault/Combat and Bio Armor were scheduled for i24 release.

Also Wind Control, and a bunch of Pool Powersets (Sorcery, Invention, Devices or something like that, and two others IIRC).

I actually had no idea about the new ones of those until yesterday :P

Now I'm wishing I'd made a toon who dual-wielded chainsabers (also found in the schlock mercenary universe)

Martial Combat, Martial Assault, and Bio Armor were good to go. Sorcery was also finished and I believe was either going to be I24 release or shortly after.

Psionic Melee was very close to done (some minor FX issues) and I think we would have seen it fairly early during I24.

Radiation Melee and Armor were both mostly done powers-wise, still needed a bit of FX work and a final balance pass. Either late I24 or early I25.

Savage Melee was probably I25 at the earliest, it still needed quite a bit of FX work and I don't think had undergone any kind of balancing at all yet.

Force of Will (Pool) was likely also an I25 release, maaaaybe late I24. Its powers were pretty much complete and had some work in progress FX, but definitely not polished.

Wind Control and the other origin pools were not at all developed yet. What exists in the client are power descriptions that are basically straight from the back of the napkin, and a very rough framework of powers tossed together so that the artists would have something to work with when creating animations and FX. The powers info that is listed in Icon and COD might as well be random numbers, and while they had a rough plan for the mechanics, those tended to change heavily during early development. What we ended up seeing when they were done could have been massively different than the early draft.

There was also Kinetic Assault, but I think that one got scrapped because the powers disappeared from the beta builds.

Beyond that all we have are names of pay-for sets fished out of the account item list: Close Quarters Weapons, Wind Blast, Magnetic Blast, Sniper Rifle, Autumnal Blast, Thrown Weapons, Magnetic Control, Water Control, Light Affinity, Wind Assault.  Those didn't exist at all beyond what was effectively a whiteboard "TO-DO" list.

...... I would have bought half of those *just* based on the names. Not even kidding.

I see lots of videos on YouTube by guys who have Wind Control, or lack thereof.

Hopefully, it's a different kind of wind...

Dual Wielding with postapocalyptic gear that would have come with I24ish.   Damn you ncsoft *shakes fist*

If you are interested in an overview/opinion of just one set, bio armor, check out my web page for Rued Rude Rudy.  He made it to 50 on the Beta server before the game was shut down.  Halfway down the page, there is a picture of him with his armors on.

Wait - so that was a real powerset we would have gotten - the chainsaw type blades!???

Damn you NCSoft! - <emote>Shakes fist at sky </emote>

[Codewalker]

Not a powerset, a weapon customization option for dual blades, broadsword, and I think titan weapons.

Still - close enough for me.

Damn You NCSoft! <emote> Shakes fist at sky even more vigorously </emote>

I was really looking forward to Sorcery on my Time/Sonic/Soul Def and Will Power for my Melees. I really enjoyed Plant/Martial Assault while on the Beta Server

[Kyriani]

I wanted Gadgetry for my tech origin illusion/radiation controller. Utility belt could have been great for a host of natural characters as well.

[MaidMercury]

I liked the retro Jet packs that came out on the market. I rented one for a month or so before the game shut down.
Rocket Boots are nice but the Jet pack added extra flair.

...can't locate a photo of one but it was similar to the Rocketeer.

I heard that they were working on a new Mastermind powerset:
Kitten-herder.

Cry havec and let slip the kittens of war!
