Zyphoid

I have made my case more than once, and in personal chat.

I also have 2 SD characters, and just don't like the way it looks. I want Nin for scrapper because I have concepts I want to play that would use nin. I like the set, and the spiffy things that it does, which includes Caltrops, smoke flash, and blinding powder. I have never been a fan of SD and I may never be.

Nope, I will make another one at some point. Your reasons for not wanting scrappers to have it (tired of hearing about it) are really no better than mine for wanting it. Nin seems to be the Stalker holy grail, they don't want anyone else to have their special thing. At one point I agreed and felt each AT should retain one power set that was theirs and theirs alone. The devs do feel different though, so why not get on with it? Shoot who knows, when it gets ported to scrappers it may get a buff like EA did.

The only reason I responded to you at all is because you accused me of whining, which I found offensive, and still do.

All I am doing is trying to get something more (I don't even want a huge buff) for the AT I like the most. Much like the stalker players did for years. You want whining? Go read some of those threads.

As for my builds, plenty of them are listed on the scrapper and now stalker boards, feel free to take a look. Hey, feel free to take a look at any of my posts, where I pretty much remain respectful to others (in most cases), and stay away from personal insults. You may learn something from them, as that seems to be something you are struggling with.

Note: Now that I can play stalkers blue side, I am sure I will have more of them. The only problem I have ever had with the AT was red side. I dislike the content and the environment there. At this point the AT plays just like a scrapper except with better Crits, and less AOE in some sets, which means that it is more fun. Which I also said all through this thread.

I do have a lvl 50 Nin/Nin stalker, I also have a lvl 50 MA/SR stalker. Both incarnates. As you know jack squat about me, don't bother telling me what I should play. And you sure as hell have no room to tell me what I should want.

I don't give a flying fart in space if Stalkers get shield, I didn't when it was released, and I don't now. Why not every other power Scrappers have have been given to the other Melee AT's. But bring up Ninjitsu and this is the reaction every time.

It is the "I should get to play with your toys, but you can't play with mine." Stalkers ahve gotten everything else Scrappers have, and in some cases better versions of it. Crits I am looking at you.

You argument is one of the worst here. When stalkers got Broad Sword the devs lost any justification they may have had in not giving scrappers any power set any of the other ATs have.

I have more, but you have already pissed me off enough. I will leave it at this. Hell yeah Scrappers should get Nin, because Stalkers got Broad Sword.

It would be hard. You would have to contact CS because I think there is a $400 limit for card purchases in the store. I guess you could spread it out across different cards, but that may take a while.

Now, if had that kind of money I would do it.

This covers it pretty well.

What about the rest? Do you really see no room for improvement in claws at all? By what I am suggesting you could pick and choose what you like too!

I would say drop it completely, and stick an attack there. Give every scrapper set a ranged, or ranged like attack in that spot.

Katana and BS should have an attack like shield bash. Give MA Forms, or a fire ball, well you get the idea. Or Stick superior conditioning there.

Don't post things like this on the internet. When buildings start to go up in your area they will use this post against you. J/K

I would prefer new animations, but I could also live with some retro fitting. There are surely DB animations that could work with claws.

This. I am not sure how it is not new content. Just because you dislike something does not change that it is content.

No, the old school Storm Kick is the Chun Li kick. I wonder if they still have it though. I think I will try to find it on youtube.

Can we have our junk back?


But Really love the rocket pack and the bubble helmet. I will buy the bundle on day one. I am not a huge fan of the genera, but there is enough there that I can mix into other costumes.


Great work Dink, most of all though thank you so much for sharing the process with us! Seeing behind the curtain is so cool!

I bought them too. I put my money where my mouth/finger was.

There is a difference here that makes that and this thread apples and oranges. The old method was to sell bundles and those bundles were set at $10 came with costumes, and a power, and CC emotes. The dance pack lacked some of those things and complaints came.

The paragon store allows for a different transaction type, in that people can buy part of what they want, w/o buying all of it. I believe those dance animations could be purchased separately, or part of the PD pack recently.

I know I would pay 800 points for a Broad sword animations set, because that would turn broad sword into a NEW set to me. I don't care that the mechanics would be the same, it would LOOK different.

Another option would to be to sell the animations like they do costume parts. Piece by piece, or in a bundle. For melee I would always buy the bundle personally, but some want just one or two animations.

I love Street Justice. It is my all time favorite power set in this game. However, I really wanted, and begged for during beta, a Thai Round Kick animation for Sweeping Cross, I would still be willing to pay for that animation.

This, so much this.

All the alternate punches for MA look like untrained haymakers to me.

This is a very very fair statement. The reason I like scrappers so much is because they fit what I feel my favorite comic book characters are.

Boss, I don't want some crazy mechanic. Shoot, the only idea I have had that I really like is giving them a higher end total.

What I get is that people like them how they are because they are simple. I don't want that to change either.

As for power proliferation, it kind of a wait and see thing. :/

Skip it like everyone else. Spines is awesome like that, it has two powers that can be skipped. The flails like a toddler attack, and confront.

They are fine. What they lack is anything that in uniquely theirs. That is what EG states, and what I have been trying to get across also. Scrappers don't even have a power set that they don't share with the other melee ATs.

He also points out in another thread that all but 3 of the stalker primaries have AoEs or Cone attacks.

Everyone keeps saying it is no big deal that stalkers and scrappers share crits. How would all you pro stalker folks feel about scrappers getting Energy Melee and Ninjitsu?

An endurance buff. Give them Superior conditioning as part of their inherent. Have it grant +5 end total every 10 levels. So that at lvl 50 scrappers have 125 base endurance. That is what I would do.
