I need to find a way to create the villain "Oblate Spheroid" in game.
This is as good a place as any to declare that my singularity was renamed "Singularity" by the devs after someone apparently complained about "Your Mom."

Clear reference to the Ship of Theseus. Nice try, Minotaur!

This was a question asked of the Legacy Devs during a HeroCon and if memory serves me correctly (not going to lay any odds on that <.< ), it was stated that there were in excess of 10,000 missions.
Yes, but over 9000 of those missions are in the layer cake cave map.

I have some vague memories of testing this bug quite a lot back when it first became known, and some even more vague memories of it being fixed. I can't recall if the fix was ever documented in patch notes, or if it was just a discord discussion I recall reading.
I would have missed it in Discord, but I always trust your work and word!

Aw, I just came back to this character and now running at +4/x999 just gives you one character's worth of enemies at +5-6 instead of eight!

I have given up trying to figure out why the devs do what they do (except for buffing tanks, that's because they like them!), but if I were to guess this was a way of trying to make a "sleeper" mez more relevant. I can applaud that, and I'd like to see fear be worked on as well. The problem is, of course, is that holds are still the gold standard in mez, just like defense is the gold standard in protection. What else can be done? I would personally like to see new sleep and fear sets with interesting effects be introduced. Maybe make some enemies immune to certain types of mez, but then you run the risk of people gatekeeping their teams (MUST HAVE SLEEP, pst)l

Sleep is killer for solo players. One thing I always do is slot a Call of the Sandman proc into AoE Sleep powers. A 15% heal that goes off nearly every time in saturated environments? Yes please. This is one of the reasons why I like Ice Melee so much...

Does it matter? I never used them. I mean, you could try and kick something ten times for that proc to fire, but candidly, I'm not using either of those lame attacks in my rotation. Mind you, I have tried them after they made the attacks with some synergy, but I still found them lackluster, even with some slotting.
I usually level organically, and an attack from the Fighting Pool really does help in levels 4 or 6 to 10 or 12 (throw an accuracy in it). I choose Kick mostly because I like the looks of it. There are so many punching animations that are boring, and the kick animation actually seems to have your leg elongate slightly. The chance for knockdown is not insignificant while this is in the rotation. And even at higher levels (when I sometimes put the knockback proc +recharge in it) there is a certain satisfaction to killing an AV with a kick.

Does anyone else run into this kind of stuff or do I just need to take a small break and come back???
Both.
I played almost nothing but scrappers for a long time, and every one ended up more or less the same. Like Ukase, every one had: Combat Jumping, Kick (so much better than Boxing!), Tough, Weave, Hasten. Those were just the best powers I could put together for a +4/x8 solo build. And they all did well, but some a little better than others.

Thanks everyone for your thoughts, and special thanks for those of you who listed pluses and minuses -- you are truly diamonds in the rough. Everyone else? The rough!
I was trying to look at what would be best for the system and the community, regardless of what mini-games I specifically like to play in this sandbox. I mostly like the current system, but I do hear occasional complaints about people having a hard time funding their first character or their stable of characters that are below critical inf earning mass. And although I have mostly gotten bored with accumulating inf for inf's sake, it seems that there are still people who are willing to crank out supply of goodies.
But my opinions are superfluous, because what will be will be:

but I see @Spaghetti Betty and others 5 slot Panacea’s.
I slot Panaceas partly for the reasons you mention but also because I 50+5 the set for that tiny incremental enhancement.

While I am amused at the reference, for transparency I'd be cautious of this too. All feedback is important and valuable - as a matter of fact, the team is typically so aligned on certain things, we need people with contrasting opinions to ask questions and disagree with our approach. The game is meant to be for everyone, so all the opinions matter.
I appreciate both of these posts. I'm personally sunsetting if not sunset on this game, but I've generally been unhappy at how HC deals (or does not deal) with feedback. It certainly does feel as if whatever has been planned is going to happen, and it does not feel as if contrasting opinions are solicited or even respected. That's why I don't bother beta testing because at this point I don't feel as if I have any influence over the process and I'm just going to see what hits the live servers a week or so after it hits live beta because that's what is going to happen. We are at war with Eastasia. We have always been at war with Eastasia.
That said, I don't spend any time on the Gold discord server (or even know if I'm able to log in there) since I detest discord so much, so really I can only blame myself

Unless it recharges or unless I can buy as many as I need from the P2W vendor, I never use it. It's a sickness of mine.

You can go on beta and get what you want and I can't recall the last time they wiped it.
the problem I see with the “get all the free stuff you want on beta” is that no one is playing consistently on beta. You’re not having fabulously effed up pugs. Unless maybe you’re Snarky -

In lieu of respeccing, one can use an alt-build.
Ugh, alt-building is so much worse than respeccing, imo.

Do folks like doing Respecs?
I'm not going to say I LIKE them, but I do use them a lot. Takes me five minutes (practice!) and I'm playing a better character. It's also vaguely satisfying to clean house every now and again.

I would also make the argument (it's not a strong one, but it's an argument nonetheless) that tankers and brutes (post fury nerfs) are fundamentally the same AT with the same powers and epics pools, so that buffs to one and not the other make one of them comparatively weaker.
-
Sets don’t need to be homogenized across ATs, but when people (minmaxxers) gravitate towards specific sets, that should be a warning sign. I also doubt the HC developers have the data or the inclination to test out their changes on a fairness basis, so it will be what will be. Also, fairness changes over time. Sets like Dark Melee and Kinetic Melee were designed as trade off sets — a little less damage, a little more protection. Protection is no longer relevant, and the moar damage mob has spoken.

Farming and necromancy: what's up with that?

I think Troo is indirectly referring to Regen, given his presence in the open beta regen thread.
Last night I was the only melee (and therefore tank) on a 54 ITF with a lvl 44 Radiation Melee/Regeneration scrapper, and it was just fine. Regeneration is great as it is, but I also understand that people don't want to have to build around Oh No! buttons.
I regret that the devs felt a need to dumb down the set and I lament that we are about to enter the age of City of Regen/SS tanks.

200 Invention Salvage storage
in General Discussion
Posted
Yup. You'll find that normal play is generally sufficient (by the mid 30s, you'll be around 150ish pieces of salvage), so you need to ask yourself is that extra 50 really worth the effort.
