Information about the new Epic AT Type
Submitted by fuzun on Tue, 10/12/2004 - 5:17pm.
This is a post on the boards talking about an interview that Statesman has done. He gives some details on the Epic AT coming in issue 3.
The article: http://www.gaminggroove.com/article.php?id=21
The quote:
Expansion 3 introduces an Epic Archetype -- the alien Kheldians. In order to play one of these energy beings a player must first attain level 50 with a single character. After that, he can make as many Kheldians as he'd like. The goal with these Epic Archetypes is not simply to provide a new Archetype, but also to immerse the player in the game's rich mythology. As players will see, the Kheldians are deeply intertwined with the history and villain groups of Paragon City. In following expansions, we hope to continue opening up more of these Epic Archetypes.

Same here...
Not quite what I was expecting. As a matter of fact, kinda flat.

I'm with Star, but for a diff
I'm with Star, but for a different reason (although I completely agree with his reasoning): I have no desire to race to 50 just so I can start back at level 1 again.
Because to me an archetype is
Because to me an archetype is a powerset combination. For example:
Tanker = Defense and Melee
Scrapper = Melee and Defense
Blaster = Ranged and Offense/Support
Defender = Defense/Buff and Ranged
Controller = Support and Defense/Buff
Where your powersets fall into the definable range of Defense, Melee, Ranged, Offense/Support, Defense/Buff, and Support.
To me Kheldian is a Race not an Archetype. Alien wouldn't have even been an Archetype, just a self definable race (that can really be handled by costume creation and body type and not powers).
I just think the idea steps beyond boundaries they've set forth.
Y'know your AT helps define your role, your race or place of origin doesn't do that. Its just I think they're muddling things.

Just out of curiosity, why not? What is it about this information that makes you less enthusiastic?
