New Kinetic Melee Info

Some new info up on Kinetic Melee here (for those of you like me not yet in beta). No numbers or anything, but you can get a better idea of how the set will work at least.

I think this set is starting to grow on me, actually. The little snippet of video we got before was mildly interesting, but seeing how this will work more is drawing me in. Throwing energy around and KB/KD is always fun.

Only problem now is how to fit it in. I should get another slot from a vet reward soon, and the two (*sigh* ONLY two?) from GR... does not add up enough. Got a Pistols Blaster and Elec Brute concept lined up, but I'd love to give TA a go again and Electric Control and now... this. Woe is me.

More groovy info in another article. Not sure how much some will like that this came out of an attempt at a "punchy" melee set that a lot of people have wanted. It may be kind of cool (once I see it in action more), but it's not the "street fighting" set that I would have expected from the attempt, that's for sure.

What are all you talkative types thinking? Do you like it? Are you wishing for something else?

I have a feeling it doesn't play very punchy.

I would discuss this more if I was at liberty to, GP.

My plan was to roll up a KM Stalker for the next run of Isos, which is blue-side. I'm not sure if that's still my plan.

good idea: asking people to talk about stuff they can actually talk about
bad idea: the opposite.

I've never pictured Pilgrim as a stick figure cartoon character.

But I will now.


Because I can: Wouldn't the opposite be "not asking people to not talk about stuff they can't talk about"? Which might actually be what he is doing........


I've already forgotten about most of you

So... starting a discussion of Kinetic Melee is asking people to talk about stuff they can't discuss? Even though there is a decent amount of info out there, not everyone is in beta, and even beta types can discuss what is in these articles? *sighs* What a party pooper.

You're so mean, Ele!

Non Beta-types can discuss what's in the article, but Beta-types actually know how the set plays, which may or may not correspond with the official gushing about how Cool™ the set is. Which means Beta-types are less likely to talk about it, for fear of NDA breakage.

From what I read it looks like a cool power set, but I'm more of laid back (as in physically, I'm in the back of the team), sort of person - Dom/Bla/Corr/Def type. I'm looking forward to Electric Control (at last!)
