I remember when Katie Hannon was the best TF.

Mind you, I'm not saying the ITF is necessarily a bad TF, I'm just saying that raw popularity isn't all that great of a metric in my eyes.

My point is that it's very possible to be stopped from using it that way in the MA because of the limitations of the filter. I can't have a contact say "Y'know those Wyvern guys? They really piss me off." but I can have an NPC say "You're pissing me off!". That lack of consistency is irksome. (Mind you, I could be remembering wrong on the specifics, but I know I've had some kind of problem like this before.)

Agreed. The synergy that exists between primary set stuns and secondary set stuns is, IMO, far too important to disrupt.

The problem there is that all Blaster Tier 1 and 2 powers are equal in stats (excluding secondary effects), which is why I suggested swapping Slug and Burst around.

Blood Brother versus Damned

This is about as close as they get. The trick with both the Hellions and Skulls is that their members are made up of a small pool of respective components, but each rank is slightly differentiated, primarily through color, but occasional through other accoutrements, such as the masks worn by lieutenant and boss class Hellions.

The bosses are a little over the top, while the lieutenants are boring. I'd take out one attack from each boss and give the lieutenants one in return, perhaps. For the Hellions all you'd really need to do is add the Arson Fallen into the main spawn pool.

So? The 40+ content is largely made up of newer, bigger threats. I like the idea of Numina being a "this is where you've been, and this is where you're headed" trip around Paragon before you jump into the world crises and nasty business of the 40s.

While "crap" is accepted (and pretty much the only good expletive available, really) in the MA, I want to say that certain forms of "piss" are rejected.

I still want to see some all-out gang warfare in Perez Park.

Of course, I also want a Perez Park revamp, even if it's just a small one.

This and also that.

I love the MA as a story-telling platform, but I hate that a large majority of good content gets lost in the pile. (Part of the problem is that Dev's Choice needs to become a rotational system, rather than a permanent list.)

Similarly, I really hate how to get any playthroughs at all, you pretty much have to market your arcs at every available opportunity.

Clockwork already come back a lot through their alternate universe counterparts, the Psychic Clockwork.

I definitely agree with more callbacks to the early game. A few missions in Grandville (as well as few blueside) do this, and it rocks. I also want to see more Diviner Maros-style missions, where it turns out that your character set off some of the events that show up on the opposite side of the game.

Revamp Calvin Scott? Now that is what I would quite honestly call a waste of resources.

They do look different.

I would never consider purposefully restricting costume parts just for parity. That said, it appears all of the 60s Arachnos soldiers are male, so it would similarly take more work to convert the pieces to the female model just like it would to convert butt capes to men.

Of course, as always, what would be done about Huge..?

As always, I agree with improving Buckshot. It's one of AR's bread and butter attacks because the set simply doesn't get anything else viable to add into an attack chain, so overall endurance economy suffers a bit. It's surprising to see that it's actually the best Blaster cone of its cost. Though it is only up against Howl, which gets less damage in exchange for a much more useful effect than Knockdown/Back...

Full Auto needs to be rebalanced around its animation time, preferably with a damage buff rather than anything exotic like Hail of Bullets.

Flamethrower needs front-loaded damage and possibly a bit of an endurance discount. It uses more end than Total Focus for crying out loud (yeah, I know, ST versus AoE, but still). It uses more endurance than Full Auto!

I'm not really sure what I'd do with Ignite, if anything. IMO, it's one of the few powers in the set that doesn't explicitly have anything wrong with it. The fact that it's largely only useful when paired with an immobilize is slightly irksome. Makes it a lot less useful for a number of Corruptor builds, at least. Probably just increase it's radius a bit, or go with what you suggest, Sam, with a twist: You Ignite a single enemy, which then also leaves a burn patch behind. ST powerful attack + patch summon. Cottage Rule defeated.

If we're really fishing for tune-ups, M30 Grenade could stand to not be Smashing/Lethal damage. But it's less of a big deal than the other complaints. (Also, that's odd. Despite being identical in every way other than accuracy, Explosive Arrow gives a higher Defiance bonus than M30 Grenade..)

The self-destruct sequence also activates a anti-teleportation field, which will interrupt any interruptible powers. Mostly it's there so you can't just use the Pocket D teleporter or a similar power and skip that part of the mission.

Haha, whoops. The best part is that typo's actually a reference to something.
