and I forgot Mercenaries specifically. They aren't the only MM that needs help, but they need it the most.

I think it's been mentioned that Mercenaries might be the worst powerset in the entire game.

 

I keep going back to that quote stating that if Mercs had their damage doubled they would still only be in the middle of the pack.  That's crazy.

I wonder if there's a simple fix possible: Add a substantial Damage buff to Serum, make Serum affect all your Henchmen at once, and lower Serum's recharge?

...although that would still make them substantially worse than any other set before Serum

I realize it isn't mentioned in the patch notes, but I wanted to confirm the Popup tray animation stutter bug is still present with this build.

Super Strength's Rage issue is probably a hard problem to solve and might be the reason it hasn't been proliferated yet.

It's really not hard at all though. Just make it non-stackable (like group invis does) and then remove the -defense from the crash. Problem solved. That and swap jab and punch for tankers so they can skip jab. And swap knockout blow for foot stomp to get aoe earlier.

Hahaha I think we generated 15 pages of Rage-rage at the mere mention of non-stacking.

 

I would love it, but the village will burn us.

Thank you for the LRSF and the additional stuff with it, I'll stop making posts about it now i promise

 

❤️

 

If it's un-nerfed outside of the challenge mode, which i was told it is on discord, it might be important to mention they're 54 on that difficulty outside of the challenge.

It's probably a good idea to focus on the Page's content itself rather than go "man, this is what I was hoping for." - It's kinda detractive from the thread.

You can't just say brave and true things like this.

 

The new difficulty options shine a massive spot light on Rage in specific. The crash is a death sentence in the higher modes. Hopefully this will encourage addressing the hot issue that is the current state of Super Strength faster.

Thank you so much for the Electrical blast changes, that's awesome. My main on homecoming is a poison/elec defender that I love despite elec blast's short comings, which there are many at the moment. Looking forward to the new voltaic sentinel, the shocked mechanic, and the tesla jumping.

[Greentea]

I can't wait to test new changes to Electrical Blast! Any chances Electricity Assault will get the same treatment?

 

That poor thing's all alone in the darkness, collecting dust...

I can't believe the Twinshot arc NPCs are getting fixed! Thank you!*

 

*for the other stuff too, but mostly for this 🙂

Yes this too, and for god's sake, make it innate KD, not kb!

[Marshal_General]

I am going to go on record as saying this this issue looks like it is going to ROCK!

[Lockpick]

Wow, a ton of work has gone into this release and it seems like the HC team were listening and acting on the community concerns around hard mode content.  Very nice and very appreciated!

[WindDemon21]

I'm going to agree on upthrust and meteor, esp upthrust, seems too slow for the actual hit to the mobs. Meteor some too but it's a nuke so less of an issue. But otherwise the rest seems really solid! Would be awesome if that could roll out asap so i could play on live 😛 Got a sweet seismic/plant build that meshes awesomely!

If it's slow, then procs should be strong in Upthrust.

 

Edit; By procs, I mean damage procs.

Procs aren't dependent on animation times.  They are dependent on internal recharge values of that specific power.  

 

As for Meteor it seems like they are making it a more action packed version of Archery's t9.  By the description it seems to be the same except for the knockback and the extra mechanic in the power set.  

 

So if there's complaint about it animating slow and doesn't get to blast as many people as you wanted then Archery would like to have a word.

Seems like a mix of elements from Rain of Arrows and Nova.

Sorry, I misunderstood him.

 

Anyway, I noticed it's faster the closer you are.

Hi I just returned to this forum after quite some time, so does that mean homecoming added new powers and content and missions in the meantime?

Yeah, well depending on when you were last here they've added a lot. This content is being tested before it goes to the live servers though.

Gravity Control's Propel will summon the same object on everyone's screen.

 

Fix a longstanding bug where missions would be launched with the wrong difficulty settings if the mission owner was not in the same zone as the door and another teammate entered it first.

 

1.0 x 10^6 thanks for these!

 

My 2nd or 3rd character from Live was a Grav controller, and was devastated to learn that his brilliant post-Propel quips (e.g. "Eat Buick, b*tch!") were making his teammates doubt his sanity, rather than making them laugh. Or, making them laugh at him rather than with him.

 

And for those of us using old-school shortcuts and new TP powers to be first to the mission (when character-appropriate, of course!) will no longer have to suffer the scorn of our teammates for clicking the door!

 

I sometimes fell for that temptation, and fulsome apologies did not make up for my teammates being forced to reset or log to fix my impulsive error. Thanks from me and my long-suffering teammates!

Also, slow as in how long it takes to REACH the target, not animation, or rech. And being a location based power, I'd imagine procs on meteor would suck too.
