I'd like to see, if this gets implemented, figures on the amount of times this feature gets used in game. SOs are almost wholely obselete, they are available for only a very short time for when they are marginally better, and they cost a fortune to maintain. They are a tax on new players. I'll stop making this a back and forth, I just see the whole TO/DO/SO setup as is to be a trap and better off being swept away for something new.

This might be a crazy idea, but why not just remove SOs from the game and make everything drop basic IOs, and allow them to be purchasable. Everything else is just patching obselete content that extracts fun from new players who don't know better. Just my five cents 🙂

It used to work regardless of ammo selection I tested it with standard ammo too It just no longer procs in Hail of Bullets!

Just a bump to say that this proc used to function and now doesn't, and it remains unresolved. Thanks

I'd really consider this a game changer for Masterminds. The possibilities are endless

The absence of a chain lightning style effect is quite glaring now!

+5 and beyond is going to be just awful, the HP bloat, the way that the purple patch guts debuffs etc. I like additional difficulty levels, but not in that direction.

I'd love to have this added as an emote 🙂

I think that's what this forum is for!

I very much miss the days where T9s weren't crashless and Judgements weren't around. Debuffs mattered. Control mattered. Powers other than nukes, mattered. The incredible recharge rates now allow for a great deal of nukes to go off at every spawn (I'm aware Judgements aren't affected, but T9s and similar are!), and I find that to be unsatisfying. As food for thought, using Judgements alone, a team of 8 can use one Judgement every 11.25 seconds in rotation. But, I don't think I can say to just take them away. They're in whether I like it or not. EDIT: Since we're in a suggestion forum, I'll throw in my own, off the cuff ideas: Judgements: Increase recharge (5+ minutes) so that a team of 8 isn't hitting every spawn with them. T9s: Increase recharge and/or make them unaffected by recharge (or global recharge). Return a 'cost' to them - a crash, a HP loss, something that causes a player to balance the decision to use it rather than just a free mob wipe. The better designed nukes IMO are the mini-ones, such as Hail of Bullets, Full Auto, etc.

Like the title says, this proc no longer functions in Hail of Bullets. It used to be almost a guaranteed proc in a large group, and now I can't get it to go off at all. My character is a DP/Kinetics Corruptor, if that helps!

The TPN Campus Trial has a big reveal about Cole/Tyrant, while the Post Praetoria content linked above fleshes out most of the rest.

I like them the way they are since I don't feel any obligation to get the clicky ones on every single character at 50. They are nice niche powers and I'm happy with that 🙂

That's it! What it says in the title 🙂

The same happens with dual pistols, and it would be nice if it could be changed!

Rumour mongering engaged! It's for knock inwards so you can drag people towards a central point!

As simple as the topic title 🙂 I can't open the costume menu in Neutropolis without crashing to desktop.

I don't think every 'type of buff' is subject to the same Defender/Corruptor modifiers. For instance Radiation Emission / Accelerated Metabolism both grant equal amounts of +recharge and +recovery, and Kinetics / Speed Boost follows suit. Time Manipulation / Temporal Selection similarly grants the same +recharge between Defender and Corruptor.

I'm not sure if this change is worth the 'cost', and that cost is the faith/happiness/whatever you might call it of a portion of the community. I'm not saying this change is necessarily a good or bad thing, but with every change at least some people will be unhappy about it. Is this change so important that we should go through with that? Perhaps Paragon Studios decided not to do it because they knew there was almost zero benefit to the change and only community backlash. Again, I'll reiterate I'm not making any statement about whether the mechanics should or should not be changed, just wondering aloud whether it's worth the angst.

I’ve had nothing but wonderful experiences with the GMs. I am super grateful for everything they do and I pray that the few trolls we might have are not going to wear them and their kindness out

It is, however, the most improved as a % change. It grew +159% which is more than any other Scrapper primary - the secret is getting out!
