Still very much questioning the logic behind nerfing fury in the same patch they made it better for newer brute players, and turned tanks into gods.
The "nerf" to Fury barely made any difference at all in the vast majority of cases.
The logic is that if you have to nerf something you should nerf it a lot, so that you don't have to nerf it again, but maybe can buff it back up a little, later.
However, that same logic SHOULD have dictated that if you're going to buff something (Tankers), you should only buff it a little, and you can buff it more later. That part of the logic got forgotten, unfortunately. -
Tanks are going to get their aoe damage nerfed, almost certainly. Brutes ARE tougher than Scrappers, no matter how much you poo poo the difference.
That will put Brutes where they belong, tougher than Scrappers, not as tough as Tanks, more damaging than Tanks, not as damaging as Scrappers.
The problem is not Brutes, the problem is Tankers.-

Brutes are fine, they need no buffs, though I admit that one ATO is not very good.
tanks need a bit of a nerf, and they will probably get it.

I’m sorry but the idea that BRUTES, the number one most popular AT in the game, with the very best combination of damage and survivability of any class, would still be balanced giving team +Dam is laughable at best. Does the concept of game balance mean nothing to you at all?

I'm not making an argument about the baseline, I am arguing about REWARDS. A Blaster at +0x1 will reap rewards an order of magnitude faster than a Controller at +0x1. This is inherently unfair. A Controller that is able to close the gap by making specific build choices to use %damage is not cheating nor iis it breaking the game.
It’s not inherently unfair. On a team, the controller offers the blaster safety and speed they cannot match solo.The fundamental design of the game is that some archetypes are better at soloing than others, and those that are not as good as soloing almost all offer more to a team than those that are.
now there can be a legitimate debate on whether that is good design or not, but it’s definitely the case.

The good thing is nobody but you agrees with this sentiment, not the devs, certainly not me, no one.
That isn’t true at all.-

All those people who choose to farm, and they are dealing with the bosses which are there.
People who want to solo maps made for teams. It SHOULD be a slog. For EVERY AT.
-
Who even cares who is the best at farming trash mobs with no bosses?
-
So presumably some of the zone wide buffs must give level shifts, or else the Minotaur would be completely impossible?

No not permanently. Well maybe you could do it for one cycle or so by using Burnout. But at the recharge cap the cool down is 60 sec. It would need to be about 45 seconds to keep perma on two targets. 7 Forts is doable but holy exhaustion. At the recharge cap Fort is ready in about 12 seconds and you need to cast it every 17 seconds to complete a cycle of 7 in Forts duration of 120 sec. Doesn't leave much time for anything else ... like CM, your Auras or AB to also be targeted and cast. Pretty sure this will require a very unusual amount of stay together discipline from your teammates to have the proverbial snowball's chance). All times are on the back of a napkin and lack all sorts of details like animation times, arcanatime etc., i.e. more math than my old brain can handle anymore.
Even just keeping Fort on 5 people and AB not perma but just up a lot is damn good and doesn’t require crazy investments or maths. -
Short answer: No.
Empathy is, and has always been, the number 1 most popular buff set in the game, despite not being the strongest.

Scared of caves huh? Pansy.

They should definitely do this, and they should do it for Dominators and Controllers (to the extent they can).

Let's call it a Feature, not a Bug!

Paragon Protector rescuee is failing to go up the elevator with me toward the mission objective. Never had this problem before today.
The NPC is stuck at the elevator, flipping back and forth as if still trying to follow me, even though I am now behind her.
This is on a lvl 32 Dark Melee/Ice Armor Scrapper. No Stealth powers or IOs.
EDIT: I ran towards the exit and when I got to a certain distance she said "Yes, I will comply" and then went into the elevator, and then back down, and then back up, and then back down, until finally I went up again and this time she successfully followed me.

Maybe it has something to do with this:
https://cod.uberguy.net/html/power.html?power=mastermind_pets.soldier_2.equip
Look at modifier and it's written there:
Melee_SpeedJumping
While on other Mastermind powers, like https://cod.uberguy.net/html/power.html?power=mastermind_pets.droid_2.resistance it's written:
Melee_Res_Dmg
Thus maybe the power tries to enhance its stength using Jumping Speed Modifier instead of Damage Resistance modifier, which is why it's not getting enhanced.

Whoops I meant MERCS
-
Adding Dmg Res enhancements to Equip Mercs seems to have no effect on their Dmg Res.

Ah, but if DO/SOs cost one-tenth their current prices?Still a trap and a waste, just a bit less so.
I think DOs and SOs should be removed from the game entirely and replaced with a new version of TOs with a value somewhere BETWEEN what DOs and SOs currently give. THAT new version of TOs could be priced down low to make it accessible.-

Mainly because the test is to see how a new player is going to experience the game. The AH if you don't understand the converter economy is basically a giant brick wall anyway. You open it, look at the enhancements you want, and if you aren't stumped by the interface, you take one look at the prices and click the close button.
The game teaches you it exists, it doesn't teach you about converting reward merits into anything, especially converters, for a quick buck. The players won't know or understand the 1inf listing trick to get starter money to list things higher. They won't know you can farm exploration badge accolades in Atlas to immediately make ~1mil give or take 100k. They won't know or figure out any of this unless they come to the forums and ask, or a kind soul sits them down to explain it.
The whole point is to show how bad it is for new players to try and level up off drops and active mission income alone.
If they pay attention to popups the game will teach them about merits and more. -
I will run a test later, I’ll play up a character using Only drops. No 2xp, no sugar daddy, no AH. We’ll see how it goes.

Ok, here's where I could go that might satisfy the concerns in the OP:
What if SOs were significantly cheaper AT LEVEL 2, and gradually scaled up to their current price at level 25?
This way low level characters could more easily outfit themselves, but you would still be encouraged to buy IOs eventually.How about that?

Bro, dunno what you're smoking, but SS Hurl is damned good. 80' range, 2.5 sec cast (used to be higher on live), 8 sec recharge, 9.36 end, and has a melee damage modifier instead of ranged so it does the same base damage as Haymaker.
Random items on Propel works because you're creating a wormhole, but that makes no sense if you're pulling up the ground beneath your feet.

The first thing I noticed is that Exploration Medals no longer give XP.
Seriously, Admins; this is poor management and it is not how to deal with the public.You never, ever, ever take things back that people have gotten used to having.
You just don't; it's bad public relations. It's better to flat out say "no" than to take something away, even if you think giving them something else will make up for it.It will not.
Once people have something, leave it alone.
No matter how trivial it may seem to others, it is not trivial to them.
They give Patrol XP now, in LARGER amounts than the xp was. They haven’t taken it away, just modified it.-

Were Brutes that Badly Nerfed?
in Brute
Posted
I think that applies to MOST of the ATs.
Tankers should probably have similar target caps to Sentinels, not Blasters. Just SLIGHTLY better than Brutes, instead VASTLY better.
