Then you’re just straight nerfing the set in the port, since Scrapper scalars for self +Dam are higher than they are for Tankers and Brutes.

Play a villain, their caves are brown instead!

No, you're right, Blasters did have their HP max increased at one point.

Even if Rest could take the Performance Shifter proc and have it be useful, it's not a unique IO and taking Physical Perfection to slot another PS proc would still be a good idea.

Invisibility used to put you in Only Affecting Self, but that was changed by Homecoming, not the original devs.

What's your problem? You take it personally that I didn't shower this idea with praise or something?

You don't get to decide what bothers me.

Paragon Studios removed it from the game because it was replaced by Pocket D. Homecoming put it back in after the shutdown, probably for historical or nostalgic reasons. It's not supposed to have any actual purpose at this point. Imagine if they brought back issue 6 Stalkers (which were rightly reworked over time into the Stalkers we know today) as a separate AT, just so players could experience what they were like again; it would be silly to ask for buffs for them, because the AT as it'd exist with buffs would already be in the game.

Paragon Dance Party was already improved, that's what Pocket D is.

Only the people who have serious reservations about porting it unchanged.

It's possible that compelling reasons for Afterburner to let you attack with it on exist, but "so my Blaster can use the +Defense to solo on +4" is definitely not going to cut it.

Afterburner works fine even if you're not flying.

You're not the only one who's noticed this:

But she's still a hero and will attack redsiders when they get close.

Ms. Liberty's not supposed to be a replacement for Statesman in the LRSF. She was always there doing nothing, lying unconscious on the ground even before Statesman died. There is no replacement for Statesman in the current LRSF, there's just a hole in the Freedom Phalanx roster.

Most people aren't zen monks who've mastered their emotions. Emotions are the polar opposite of logic, and you can reason that "oh, it's some random stranger, I shouldn't care what they think or say," all you want, but their words can still have an effect. "Words will never hurt me" isn't a statement of fact, it's a mantra one repeats to try to master one's feelings in the face of such abuse. So you can confidently state that it doesn't make sense to you that people are upset by strangers' words, but that doesn't change the fact that they are, and you shouldn't consider such dismissal the final word on the subject.

Ice isn't the only set to get its sustain before 20; Energy gets Energize at 16.

It sounds like you want to either nerf an amazing power just so it’s slightly better with IOs, or you want the power to be allowed to cheat the IO proc rules. Either way, it’s a definite No from me.

Yeah, you're right, that could be an issue.

That info is pretty much already on the character screen. You get one bar of patrol XP every 24 hours you're logged out, so the "days since login" number tells you how many bars a character has.

Hah! Recovery set bonuses are straight garbage. An even-level Clockwork minion will drain 5 endurance with Charged Bolts, the weakest attack they have. It would take an Ultimate Recovery Bonus, the strongest one there is, 75 seconds to get you back that much endurance. A typical Clockwork fight is going to have far more end-draining attacks coming in than you could possibly have +Recovery set bonuses, and Clockwork don't even have -Recovery on their attacks. -Recovery debuffs typically come in around -50% to -100% debuffs, and even -25% is over six times as powerful as the Ultimate Recovery set bonus (again, the strongest one you can get), just from one attack. Saying +Recovery set bonuses could help with end drain is like saying a single tree could prevent a landslide. More info here.

98% accuracy enhancement will get you to the 95% chance to hit cap against +3 enemies, but you need 143.6% total to hit +4s. And that's not considering enemy defense buffs, tohit debuffs, or powers with less than 1.0 base accuracy.

Unnerf Regen? Unnerf Regen. Unnerf... Regen... Oh! "Un" is an indefinite article in the Italian language, the equivalent of "a" or "an" in English, and it can also be used to mean "one." I get it now, you're saying you want to nerf Regen one more time. Yeah, let's do it! Sounds like a great idea!

I've never done such testing myself, but people do those tests with scripts that parse the text in the combat log; it'd be easy to write the scripts so they ignore any attacks that are forced to hit by the streakbreaker when tallying the results.
