- Will we get an arch-type respec this time? Usually we just get a standard power-respec which doesnt allow us to switch arch-types.

- I'm noticing some new abilities but yea most of them are recycled. I can understand it is hard to make 'entirely new powers.' But I'd rather see more for the Epic Archetypes. After all, the Hero ones have almost entirely unique looking powers. Still, some of these, even though they have many powers that are already in the game, are way freakin cooler looking then the Hero ones :)

- I was hoping for something new int epic archetypes. This is just recycling current powers and putting them in a nice new shiny package.

- Wow, definately interesting, since AoC isn't out yet this may tempt me back. Really just good to see they're still doing a lot of nice work on this mmo.

- When you fight these types as NPCs then its the nightwidow there is the dangerous one. They have massive melee, combined with status effects, stealth and debuffs. Really nasty to fight.

- yeah looking forward to trying all these out. :)

- Very cool!

- Neat! :) If I understand well... - The spider arms = kinda blaster - The mace guy = kinda MM - Mind Widow = kinda dominator - Deadly Widow = kinda scrapper
