    The Scrapper motto is "Scrappers flip out and kill stuff," and that's a pretty apt description of how they work. One moment I'm sitting idle, chatting with a friend of mine, the next I walk up to the next spawn and BAM! I'm fighting at top capacity and using my AT to its fullest potential. I don't need to worry about being broken out of Hide, I don't need to worry about my performance from a cold start and so on, as I mentioned. One moment I'm idle, the next moment I flip out and kill stuff. And I wouldn't have it any other way.


    I firmly believe that Scrappers have no set role on a team, beyond the most basic one of "use powers to help make enemies dead."
    Well stated..VERY well stated. Could not agree more. In bold are the particularly good gems.

    Is it justified?

    It spawns fairly regularly in Perez Park. It used to spawn less often, but they fixed those problems.

    EDIT: We even have a badge for defeating it.
    Oh I am sorry...that is my inside joke with Ghost Falcon.

    Is it justified? Yes, it is justified for a for profit company to charge for the products they produce.

    I feel good about them providing more powersets for free to VIP players. In reference to the for pay powersets the only one I am going to pay for is Staff Fighting, with two months worth of VIP points.

    I enjoyed STJ a bit on BETA, but not enough to buy it. If I get an STJ itch I can scratch it on BETA.

    It's all good.

    Now if they would just RELEASE THE KRAKEN all would be better.

    Except SOA's right?

    Now if the devs can figure out how to make tanks the kings of aggro management again, the 4 melee archetypes will be damn near perfect.
    Raise the aggro cap to 20 and give them a special threat level seen by the enemy AI as the threat above all others.

    Stalkers do more Single Target DPS/Burst, while Scrappers have better survivablity, and better AOE.

    Kudos Synapse, and associated team. The stalker buffs saved my subscription, and I thank you for them.
    Yep yep this.

    Based on the devs perception which includes data nobody but them has privy too, so.. yeah they felt the need and frankly that is all that counts here. Pfft...
  9. I like the way you are keeping this issue alive and not letting them sweep it under the rug.
  10. Nothing has happened to scrappers and any line about that is useless drivel.

    JB this is for you regarding your Tanker and fury being stolen by Brutes:
  11. Would love is a very different than needs. Needs should drive power updates like they did for the other AT's that got them. Scrappers have not needed much since launch 8 years ago.

    Not like everyone does not already know this fact.
  12. I love the use of the word toon. I think I love it even more when people are so anal that they actually get upset about it's use...that is good times.
  13. There is no need to be concerned about scrappers because another AT was buffed.

    Scrappers can do everything they could do before the other AT was buffed and nothing has changed that.

    Since scrappers were absolutely not having any trouble before, they are absolutely not having more trouble now because another AT was buffed.

    On the otherhand people are more than happy to pay for a powerset that is weaksauce because it is shinny and new. People...Pfft.

    Change your stacking setting to numeric.
  15. Hi Mister D. Long time. That is all.
  16. A bit more FREEDOM with a little more customization and there would be accolades. Swing miss.

    Then you would most likely qualify as an informed buyer which is all I encouraged.

    I have some not yet complete goods I would like to sell to you any interest?

    J/k don't get mad.

    I love you too Bosstone..no I really do.

    I can forgive the initial bug -- let that be a lesson about special-casing stuff to work on beta and making it impossible to tell if it'll actually work when pushed live or not.

    But seriously, knowing that was the cause, come on, fix it right instead of just doing a quick band-aid.
    I think you spelled things out in a way that I think about it, but maybe I did a less than stellar job in conveying it.

    I think anyone purchasing Beast that has not play tested it on BETA should have a link to Reppu's review of the set. Caveat Emptor.
