So what new power and weapon do you want the most?

Yeah, I love the myriad shield styles. Even the simple ones like trash can lid and turtle shell. And I would LOVE that artifact shield! It would be perfect for my tank build style.

A) this post isn't necessarily about what should/could be done, it's a fantasy thread more of less, so chill dude.
and
B) We might have the luxury of new powers AND/OR new weapons if the PS3 weren't included in their future plans.
Correct me if I am wrong, but of the 3 platforms this game runs on, it isn't PS4 or PC holding the game back.

They will be adding the next power to the PS3 just like anything else that gets added to DCUO will be for the PS3

Hope healers and I think sword and shield would be cool. Wand as well. As for spear, they should just release spear styles for staff imo.

I believe there is one spear style for staff. I think it's Amazonian or sonething like that.

Wind Controller Class: It would be the only thing I would leave Quantum for.
Either whips or a martial art style that only involved your legs.

As for a weapon I think I shall go with the classic Bazooka. Slow fire rate, and splash damage on its basic tap attack
rocket jump as it's hold melee lunge attack, which can be comboed into a baseball swing followed up by a rocket jump backflip....
Ranged special could involve it firing out a net or Bolos or something exotic like that...

Could come in a variety of neat styles like:

Jokerfish(Basically a tuna with clown makeup with the grip/trigger sticking out of its belly, almost like someone stuck a bazooka inside a fish.)

Diabolic(Like all the other diabolic weapons it incorporates demonic bones into it's structure with the rockets coming out of it's mouth with ribs and spine running the rest of the weapons length.)

Classic(The classic army bazooka look.)

Plant(Looks like a hollow log, with the grip being a branch growing off of it. The sight is a twig with a leaf growing off of it.)

Sewer pipe(Looks like it was made of sewer pipe)

Steampunk(Brassy finish, with dials and pressure gauges built into it, and a little steam whistle functioning as a sight. Basically looks like it was built of steam engine parts.)

I would like shadow for troll water for healer and metal manipulation for tank or atomic for tank.
For weapons I would like to see a flexible weapon like ball and chain, tri staff, or swords with chains attached similar to God of war.

Great ideas guys keep em comin as a tank for life I'm liking the sound of atomic especially with my name

Weapon - Solo Pistol.

I cant just pick one power -
Water Healing - Cause everyone wants this, right?
Wind Controlling - I could imagine some really incredible control effects (that would ultimately be useless) coming from wind controlling.
Shadow Tanking - Introduces a new type of "evasion" tanking.

l'm wanting for this power since first time came on these forums (approx. 1.5 years ago). l wait it for now. Hopefully it's coming on second part of HoP trilogy, because many new gods deal with different beams (alpha effect, omega effect, chang zu beam, mr. Miracle aura, Mantis beams & auras, Kalibak's beams, Barda beam etc). New Gods are vulnerable to radion as well. So radiation-based powers would be ideal, or just energy. But since just "energy" is vapid/unpopular, Atomic is really best choice lMO. + artifact weapons somehow alterate character's size, so maybe... If only it's not overshoot...

Shadow trolling

Air, water, atomic.

Fixing celestial would be nice

I know what you mean about the staff.
But I see it being a completely new weapon.
More stabs ect.
Obviously a ranged spear throw rather than the staff blast.

Then maybe a way for the Dev's to impress us is to bring in a new kind of mechanic.
One that sees my vision of Spear fused with a shield.
Not stopping there though, I'd like to see all kinds of weapon fusions.
Anything that is held by one hand(or can be held in one hand, like 1 handed pistol) to be fused with one another.

Pistol/Shield
Pistol/Sword
Sword/Shield
Sword/Spear
Spear/Shield
Even throw a hand free for brawling and martial arts paired with a pistol/sword/shield/spear.

Now that is getting to realistic fighting mechanics for "superhumans"

My HL troll would be repping a Pistol/Shield with Green Energy styles like a champ,
My Rage tank going at it with a Red Energy Spear/Shield
and my eventual Hope Healer hanging back throwing health and Blue Energy spears like a boss!!

your reply has no relationship with what i posted. was this reply meant for me or someone else?

Whip weapon(catwoman waepon,Legends)
Venom power(also Bane legends)
Are easy to make..well copy and modify alil' bit some animations.Go for easy power and weapon for PS3 players.
No need to create to much and ps3 can resist this soft change.

I want to see an Atomic Tank.

One tree can be Chemical: dealing with super serums, toxins/acids, and smoke/fumes.

One tree can be Radiation: dealing with absorbing/releasing energies, and altering molecules within objects (or people).

Comic Heroes that can be associated with these powers:
Captain America ( via use of super solider serum), Firestorm (molecular manipulation)
The Atom (size manipulation)
Dr.Manhattan (molecular manipulation, radiation)
Captain Atom (radiation manipulation)
Hourman (via use of Miraclo pills)
The Hulk (gamma radiation powers)
All Kryptonians (powers come from absorbing radiation from yellow sun)

Comic Villains that can be associated with these powers:
Metallo (kryptonite powered)
Atomic Skull( radiation powers)
Bane ( via use of Venom)
Scarecrow (via use of fear toxins)
The Joker (via use of Joker toxin and acids)
Ras Al Ghul (via use of Lazarus Pits and various biological/chemical weapons in plans)

I want quantum to have its awesome mech... But new power... I want magnetism... Also might and mastery (a power that focuses on strength)

WIND, as in Red Tornado. I could see wind being either controller, healer or tank.

ATOMIC, as in Firestorm. I see this more as a controller, because we utilize this in the world today as power, so I see a Atomic as being one the provides power.

WATER, I could see water as either healer or tank.

Weapons: Chakram or Whip. Chakram would be similar to a shield, but smaller and cooler.

Weapons

Claws
Whip and Chain
Chakram

I also think the design team should spend some time programming for the following powers based movement mode effects, powers based weapon effects (not just he style packs you can buy actually put electricity effect around exobyte infused escrima sticks), the ability to ba able to re-skin any weapon style in the game as green, yellow, red, and hopefuly blue construct.

Powers

Blue Lantern - Whatever
Shadow
Atomic

The new raids change your body size have shadow and water artifacts, looking good for something intersting in the next year power wise. Weapon wise I think we are out of luck for at least a year.
