I'm not against this idea, but I think you'll find a lot of pushback changing mez protection from a toggle to a click power, some people really hate it. I don't hate it, but I do know that's been a "fun" discussion when people propose going the other way with sets like SD and SR. Having not played Stone Armor, ever, I'm not sure if this next point is actually a concern for this specific powerset, but would moving such an essential function to Earth's Embrace require a lot of Stone Armor players to respec to still be effective? While this is similar to the concerns I shared in the PPM thread, I actually think it's more important here since mez protection is considered an actual need for melee characters.

@Sarrate, you bring up excellent points and for long term goals I 100% agree. Shred Monkey's suggestion would be more of a hotfix since I think it would be easier to implement(though I absolutely don't know that for a fact). As for your disclaimer, the only real difference between as high as you got with Alpha and Judgement compared to having everything unlocked and maxed is enemies die even faster. That's really about it. So your previous experience is a relevant and applicable as those of us that have maxed out characters completely.

I love this idea.

It's in the other thread, but Jimmy mentioned this is effective going forward. So it's my understanding that they won't be bothering with existing uploaded videos, I assume because that would be a massive undertaking.

That's not what the rule states though, it says live broadcasts and uploading of videos, nothing about recording on our personal computers.

Just hit 40, and I'm really enjoying this character. Starting to work on a level 50 build, but I have a few questions: What is the ideal ST chain for Staff Fighting? What power would you slot the Superior Scrapper's Strike Proc in? Currently have it in Guarded Spin, not sure if that is the best place. I'm thinking of keeping it in an AoE power since that is where the set shines. I've skipped Blinding Powder while leveling, what are everyone's thoughts on this power as a Scrapper? I could fit in three damage procs and the contagious confusion proc, seems like it could be interesting. Thoughts? I've never used a power like Guarded Spin that gives melee defense(never made BS or Kat), is it worth skipping on softcapping melee because of a power like that?

So I go to start up Bordlerlands 3 and because of this thread I start City of Heroes by mistake. The information is in this thread, other threads, at least one person has offered to help people directly, and at least two people are giving away influence. We can't hold everyone's hand. I think at this point stating the City of Heroes equivalent of "Ok Boomer" is as productive of a tactic as anything else.

Normal people can pay for it, they get other drops they can sell if they want to do so. And the higher level a character is, the fewer enemies needed to defeat. As for your last sentence, that's not true, I've demonstrated it many times. So you made that up and it's all in your head. Between your silly comparison to real life price gougers and now made up nonsense claiming I only care about top tier farmers, it's clear you're just being emotional and making arguments loaded with the intent to manipulate the argument by appealing to emotions instead of things like logic and facts. Which I get, when people like you don't have reality on your side, you have to make things up. When you want to come back to reality and want to discuss the topic like an adult, I'm happy to do so. Until then, replying to you directly is beneath me You're clearly the type of person that is going to need the last word to push their delusion and made up nonsense, so I will let you have it. You're welcome.

Then the price hasn't yet reached a point in which people are unwilling to pay it, it's really that simple. The market is set by the buyers. If they aren't willing to buy it at posted prices, it won't sell. And comparing an infinite good like digital luxury items in a game is not at all similar to people price gouging safety items during a pandemic when people are scared. Circling back to your first reply to me, I think you've demonstrated you're the one using absurd logic. You're giving people WAY too much credit.

I'm really not sure what you're trying to say here.

No, the ceiling doesn't go higher in sync, because if the flippers want it to sell, they must price it lower. Even if it is something in which supply is extremely low, if they post it at too high a price either nobody will bid that high or other people will notice and jump in to make influence themselves. Flipping isn't a race to higher prices, it's a race to the middle. And it also benefits the other people that post their stuff for lower prices, as they make more since the floor is higher. It unequivocally benefits people besides just the flipper.

I bet you could use it first and still resell it at this point. Get some real value from it!

Uncommon salvage has become the toilet paper of Homecoming.

I don't think these nerfs need to happen. But the integrity of the original design really doesn't mean shit a decade later. What's best for the game today is all that matters. We both agree that there shouldn't be a nerf(though I also don't think it's a big deal if it happens).

To be annoying? Of course not. I can promise you when I'm doing my market stuff, you are not a thought in mind, and likely that of other ebil UFC members. Not just you though, any of the other nameless and faceless people buying my stuff aren't thought about either. Just updating my influence stockpile spreadsheet. My biggest problem is there isn't a Scrooge McDuck vault for me to swim in with all my influence, kinda bullshit if you ask me.

I put Domination on auto fire, but @Redlynne uses a much better method that I was not aware of. I'll be looking into this.

My Elec/SD Scrapper, Impeccable Girl, is my marketeer. So you are technically correct, the best kind of correct.

You just have to phrase it as you were piece gouging and taking advantage of newbs.

It would, but you said evil instead of ebil. So you get demerits and shame for that.

I rerolled my Elec/SD Brute from when HC just started to a Scrapper and it was like night and day. That combo for Brutes is underwhelming to say the least. On Scrappers it is a ton of fun. Once I feel like playing the combo again, I'm gonna reroll it as a Stalker and it will be even more amazing.

Wait, PvP IOs are too? Shit, I've been messing that up for a while now.

Yes I was talking about a literal punching bag. But at the same time I should get off my ass and contribute in that thread. I will definitely check it out.

I know longer have this build unfortunately, but I remember being soft capped to all three down to level 30 back on live before attuning enhancements was a thing. For melee and ranged it was even lower. But that took a significant investment and AoE was a definite hole once I was below 30. Plus almost the entire build had to use level 27-33 enhancements, which made a difference at level 50. So yes, I would live for that holet to be filled earlier.

My preference is new game content and modes that take advantage of how absurdly powerful we are. Survival Mode with increasing difficulty per wave is still my favorite suggestion. Add in leaderboards and seasons, I'm in for life. Edit: Also, I'd like it we didn't need to rely on pylons so much to estimate DPS. Let's have a true DPS test. An object with regen and HP we can adjust on a slider that doesn't move or fight back. Bonus points if we can intentionally spawn 16 of them to measure AoE DPS too.
