If the power is coded that way.
It's not that different from phase-shifting.

You would think that if something is bugged/broken 4-5 times, that should be the very first thing the dev tests for BEFORE the patch hits Live? I know if it's my company, I would!

And you'd be right. They did test it. It broke in new ways each time. Sometimes it wasn't the Black Scorpion power itself that had something wrong with it, but the Unbreakable power it was supposed to work against that had changed. *end of patience*

Right now, I am not even sure if MM's temp is supposed to bring him out of Unaffected or supposed to cause a lot of -regen on him so he doesn't regen that much during that Unaffected period.

Right now, it's broken. Get over it.

If he is Unaffected, can MM's power even "hit" him? So maybe MM's power is working as intended even though I don't know what MM's power actually does.

I hadn't read anything on this TF before... Hopefully the next run will go shorter, but it IS possible to do without a MM. We managed it on a team of 4 brutes, 3 corr, and a stalker...
Wish we'd read about the stalker temp... we bash/cleared our way to the AV and just spent lots of time putting a hurt on him.
Slow... but we did it.

Seriously, you CALM DOWN. geeze.
You don't have to get annoyed with me because I didn't design the game. I admit I have a lot of questions/confusions because I don't like to participate in "beta". I am a paying customer and I don't want to get "spoiled" before the final product comes out. Just like if I want to see a new movie, I try not to watch too many previews. I get excited that way!
Don't blame me that I didn't know MM's temp power was broken. I didn't see any message about that in the game. Hell, I didn't even know about those temp powers because many of us were first-timers in that SF. Only one person did the SF (and he didn't finish) and he was the only MM on the team and he wasn't sure what his power was supposed to do.
I get a bit annoyed when the final product is this incomplete. That's all. In fact, the most important temp power is MM's, as far as I am concerned. We did not use any temp powers towards the end (many of us didn't even know we had). So the most important temp power is broken.. yes, I call that pretty "incomplete" final product.
Funny you quoted all the "complaints" I have but didn't quote how much I enjoy this "specific temp power" idea!
And even without reading that MM's temp power being "broken", I do think it's "possible" to beat the SF, which leads me to believe that the MM's power maybe wasn't that broken after all. My team's setup has ZERO -regen effect but we do have a lot of resistance debuffs.
I just don't know how a MM can hit a target that cannot be hit. Should MM use it before he turns into Unaffected or after.
What's left is to normalize all Assassin Strikes and improve Stalker's old sets (Claw, MA and EM)! You don't need to bring back the missing PbAoE attack. You just need to make the existing ones better! For example, make Slice a WIDER and LONGER cone.
No, you just rephrased the same question over and over and expected a different answer if you asked it enough times.
Anyone tried it blueside with no MM's?

"Seriously? Someone mentioned that they had to fix it 4 or 5 times in beta. Is this right, because if it had actually been fixed in beta, it really shouldn't be borked hitting the servers. It's shameful and sad."
That's why I added this line. If it was fixed 4 or 5 times, like I heard, then it was brought to Dev's attention before live. In the instance of something this horribly broken, there's no way that this didn't get reported. If it didn't get reported, what is the testing for?

To dev's credit, I do think the specific temp powers for each AT is a GREAT idea. It promotes more team-plays and it gives "almost" every AT a "purpose"!
I actually didn't know I can re-stock my temp power in the machine until the AV was alone and I was bored after trying to hurt him down to 40% and he regen back to 80% and blah blah blah.
