DLC8 power- Celestrial Confirmed- Holy & Dark powers

i've actually wanted this power set for some time now.

this is confirmed by mepps he posted a few minutes hour or hours idk. Either way hes post is somewhere here in the thread.

Mepps confirmed it already.

is not a great idea imo lol sorry , why punish the dps for the tank dying or anyone else for that matter. The system we have now is great, if someone dies you have a few seconds to get that person back in the boss fight.

i mean people should at least try it out first...god forbid they announce something like a nuclear powerset down the line. you'll have ppl saying.................FIRE!!!.....FIRE!!!.....THIS IS FIRE!!...TO SIMILAR....UNSUB...

How about we all just wait and see what happens first before we jump the gun.

Well i'm super stoked! I've been a sorc for almost 2 years and as much as I like it i'm dying to try something new and exciting.
I'm also super happy it's not water, we've had enough nature and element-y stuff (for now) we definitely needed something in a different direction. I personally like quantum, mental, sorcery and light much more than the traditional elemental powers which have been used and overused in mmos and rpgs for ages (yes including watery powers) .

To me celestial has nothing to do with sorcery. When i think of a sorcery i think this and when i think celestial i think this. Sure they're both supernatural and mystical, but if we had 5 natural element powers I don't see what's wrong with 2 mystical/supernatural ones. Saying a wizard and an angel or a god are the same doesn't quite make sense to me. I personally feel water and ice would be much more related thematically and visually. Can't speak of game play cuz we don't know how celestial plays and we have even less of an idea of how water would play, but if it's aesthetics and thematics people are complaing about right now, well we still have to wait and see although i don't think it will be a problem.

just to clarify, i'm not saying we should never have water powers, just it didn't make sense for this dlc and that we need more variety before we go back to elemantal-y stuff. I'm actually looking forward to hopefully one day getting an aquaman DLC where we have at least a few instances in atlantis, give us water powers then,

Is this going to be another fail nature attempt where they put two seemingly different powers together in one powerset? Are heroes going to get the holy side and villains the demonic side? It would be a lot better to have it villains dark and holy heroes.

Well, it adds a new element of strategy and of course, you don't have to use it. It's not a punishment, but a tactic. If the boss has less than 10% health and you're on the verge of a wipe after the tank or healer or whomever dies, do you risk bringing him or someone else back in an effort to finish the thing? I think it could be fun, but probably not for PUGs.

The way you have anger issues you may be a child yourself.
I've been here since launch, but that doesn't mean you are not new to mmos, actually, why did you even bring that argument up in the first place?
All mmos have "similar" powers, but you speak as though you do not know this.
You need to choose your words more carefully in an argument if you want to be better understood in the future on a forum such as this one.

quantum deal with time and space... celestial deals with godlike / spiritual ...im really hoping the next tank power isnt atomic but cosmic... "silver surfer" type powers.... cosmic isnt exactly the same as quantum..

I agree...It would be nice to start seeing hybrid classes. Holy powers would have been perfect for a "paladin" style tank/healer combo. This better not mean that tanks get stuck with Water......

if they made it like that then guess im going villain cause i want the darkness lol

Just saw on twitter they say will get a bit of info on celestial finally a reason to watch fnl.

Hoping it's this....:

I Just wanted to say thx to Maximus for finding this out and making Meeps confirm it. Thx now we don't have to wait for soe live for announcement!

I wonder if they had already planned to announced details on FNL tonight or if it's a last minute decision in light of this thread? Either way I can't wait to see Mepps' face on FNL when they start talking about it. And please have Jens back on FNL, I miss him!

see i disagree i want hero side to be white and gold and villain red n black cause it seems to make more sense to me ..im sure not to everyone.... but when i think of holy i think of purity etc.

on a side note ... your screen name reminds me..id really love a "clown" type of power... gadgets doesnt count... and yes im being serious haha

Laughing right now @ the people who thought the new power was going to be water. Boy, how completely off they were!

Would be a awesome pvp power though. "If Sacrifice kills a enemy player it automatically revives the next member of your group that dies in the next 15 seconds".
