Will there also be an option for this in Statesman's Task Force?

Hard mode drama will be a thing, but honestly this is how it should be done and I am optimistically curious to try it myself.

I feel the comparison of level shifting to blasting Skulls in Atlas Park doesn't match my experiences when my fully IO'd & level shifted characters keep having to chew insps and still occasionally face plant in max difficulty missions. Maybe I'm the odd duck who takes on maxed outed Malta, Carnies, and DA mobs with blasters or stalkers for funsies, but not everything is bowling for Council.

Which is better for the long-term health of the game: Nerfing existing content or creating new content that one can flex their endgame powers with?

The solution isn't nerfing anything, step one is cranking out +5 to +7 incarnate content.

I'm old and tired and I get enough horse hockey in real life.

Yes, yes it is. For me and plenty of other players given Homecoming's numbers. And you and the rest of your Quit Having Fun buddies know it. Which is why we get these same posts over and over and over and over and over again.

A necro, to be sure, but a welcome one.

Yes, its true, having fun was a mistake. We apologize for the error and will strive to provide more Wildstar-esque experiences in the future.

Quit having fun, everyone.

Build Up plus Gaussian's Proc, the spawn has no bosses, and the RNG is in your favor.... I've had it happen more than once.

I didn't think we'd be discussing "Is Scrapperlock Bad" in the year 2021, but here we are.

No, that's Mids plus Brainstorm. 😉

Yep, that's another ignore list addition.

Think less of which performs better and more of which looks and sounds more fun. Aside from MA stalkers and their lack of AoE, they're all good combos.

Odd how you went from 'what about the new players' to 'all about me'.

I always test new builds on Brainstorm before building them live now. It's quite handy and helps me avoid making bad decisions with my merits and inf. (Like that Elec/MC build. Oooof.)

Have you considered that new players might watch these guys doing Stupid Scrapper Tricks and think "Holy schneikies, you can do that!? Sign me up!" I mean, where did you think those of us with tricked out 50s decided we wanted to be part of that action? "Oh you're new? Here, let me show you a neat blaster trick where I make most of the bad guys fall down with two button presses. Wasn't that neat? Now let me tell you how you can do it too."

I've been testing DM/WP. Not as offensive as SD or Bio but I'll take the trade for WP's defensive strengths. Devouring Earth at +4/x8 only dropped him to half HP and that took two spawns ganging up. And mobs still die fast anyways. Love how Touch of Fear and Shadow Maul now make a decent AoE rotation.

See what Lumi posted on the previous page. They've been posting and playing for over a year now.

Is it me or does anyone else remember that thread was started by a different account name? It was me, Wayback says its the same account.

/e squints again

That's just it, though, you don't have to. Task forces are designed for teams, beating it solo is a challenge created by determined players. Nobody's asking for reverting the changes made to the ITF or for team content to be made soloable. They made their own fun with the ITF and frankly I remain impressed that they have the builds and mental stamina to pull off a Werner Rules ITF. There's nothing wrong with that.
