Personally, these days... I'm going to vote either Warshades, AoE MMs, blasters, or corruptors on -1/x8 difficulty are the best farmers.

Well, duh. This has already been mentioned as the next thing and likely very soon.

But other than that? I think more story advancement is what we need. Power customization gave us one of the most requested things in the history of the game, and I'm very grateful for it.

The next thing I want is some more plot, and perhaps some more endgame content. Even this has been talked about as "in the pipeline" though.

I haven't been on a Reichsman T/SF yet, but I understand it did a good job of making you want different ATs on your team. I'd like to see more of that.

We're at a point where we can make an incredible challenge for soloing (+4/x8 spawns), but I want to see something that's incredibly challenging for teams now. This kind of goes with my last point. I'd like to see something where a superteam of 8 controllers or 8 corruptors would have a tough time, but a well balanced team would do well.

I know the game wasn't made more difficult with the advent of IO's, but I'd like to see some of it become more difficult. Something that expects or even requires IO's to be able to complete.

Do you mind not babbling nonsense? Seriously, some punctuation and proper capitalization would work wonders for you.

My point is that CoH and CoV are more due to the work that the people of Paragon have done, not Cryptic. Cryptic just happened to be the owner at the time, not the sole source of awesome that created the game.

Paragon isn't afraid of those changes. Going Rogue is in the works, heroes will be able to go to the Isles and vice versa.

I don't have long loading screens, sounds like an issue on your end. Get a better connection or a better rig.

The rest of your post isn't worth responding to.

In most of the world, the correct format is Day/Month/Year.

Quit bragging, I'm still at work!

I can't wait to see what it actually takes to kill my bots/traps.

Paragon made a lot of the changes Cryptic was either afraid to or didn't want to that has truly made this game what it is.

Also, most of what Cryptic "accomplished" was largely due to the work of those who remained at Paragon.

I believe they just did.

Unfortunately, I'm hardcore into the concept of this character, which is a natural origin, naturally strong guy. So no hasten. No travel powers at all in fact. Not a big deal, especially considering the availability of jetpacks. It does give me plenty of room for extra powers... of course, there aren't too many I need. Not sure what to do with a bunch of extra slots/powers.

I had this silly idea of using the kinetic combats and building with a ton of +movement just so no one can keep up while I smash things without movement suppression.

Since you say there's pretty much two ways to build a SS/WP brute (recharge or defense, but always health first), I'm guessing I'd be better off going for defense since I'm avoiding hasten. Maybe it's viable to build for a mixture of recharge and damage bonuses?

I don't think they've been handed out yet because I saw someone was complaining about the costume tokens not here yet.

Use it quick!

You seem to be looking for this thread.

Sound's like you've got a pet's peeve.

100% agree. I think that's where scrapperlock comes from, to be honest. The fact that they're not needed in addition to the self sufficiency leads them to go off on their own.

It's like he's a berserker troll on steroids and speed who just discovered the forums.

He's been lurking for years, but suddenly goes on a rampage, devoid of intelligible thought!

I want to say something along the lines of "DAMN YOU AND YOUR LOGIC" but I would like to think I know better.

I should have recognized the outrageous claim my first post made.

I admit it was a little "toot my own horn," but I was just trying to make the point that, just because you can solo a GM, it doesn't make you useless against swarms of mobs.

Said another way, the two are not mutually exclusive, which is the feel I got from your post. Somehow I read your post as saying "you can either exceed scrapper killing potential or solo GMs, not both." I apologize for reading into it more than I should have.

Mostly because - until now - they didn't let us set the spawns for 8 while solo.

And it will continue to happen because no scrapper, not even an MM with six pets, can start Task/Strike Force on his own...

Actually, to be fair, we got the open beta in the US first...

ARE YOU HAPPY NOW, YOU CRAZY BRITS!?!?!

I run bots/traps, which is more than capable of soloing both GMs and +4/x8 spawns. I don't have any single target debuffs, my AoE regen debuff is also a hold, my caltrops do knockdown and have five damage procs, my acid mortar does AoE -resist and -def AND has an achilles heel proc, the assbot spawns a burn patch for each mob it hits, and the icing on the cake is that my bots are softcapped to everything, and I'm softcapped to ranged/AoE. Oh, and since each bot and I have separate aggro caps, I can walk through a map and actually herd everything.

I'm loving the changes too. I think I'm going to farm -1/x8 for a week straight before I even TOUCH the color customization.

Trust me, anything that can solo a GM can kill mobs just as quickly, if not more so, than the scrapper.

Those have been there.

How about because Fluffy Kittens are better than mercs?

Bloody fixed. I hate when this happens.
