Mr. Apocalypse

not sure weather it works or not, I have not reported anyone that I remember only blocked users. But it does seem like a pretty minor offense to warrant being so petty as to report someone.. but hey, you do you 🙂

I would be content if I could just change their costume colors, and possibly the color of their powers/attacks.

Agree, My bots/dark MM was my primary Badge hunter back on live and had almost every badge available at the time. I rolled that same combo again for my new badge hunter. I haven't been very diligent with my badging activities, but I currently sit just shy of 1000. The ability to solo, so much content including GMs really helps.

Here is one I have been working on Scarecreaux claws/super reflexes scrapper I really like how the Rularu blade go with the double hook cosmic corsair gloves

check out this thread, it contains what you need to launch the gave via steam. now weather or not it will work on the steam deck, I cant say.

Thanks, that worked

same issue here.

At first I thought the problem may have been due to importing a old build, so I tried by making the same build again from scratch. Once build was completed, when I try to move a power slot, nothing happens. This is with the latest I27 page 5 build. The only way to change around any misplaced slots is to do a complete unslot and reload slots to each power one by one. any ideas?

I think this is my only toon that I may go for the mini mode. This is my plant/fire dom. The Low-Down Leprechaun. Been rocking this toon since early 2006. I think the mini mode is just what it needs.

Here is my latest inspiration AKA Karen - Sonic/poison corruptor Obviously a villain but thinks she is a hero. Her neighbors hate her, and retail managers run when she comes near. She is all around toxic. No matter what you do, or how you act, she will find something wrong and try to fix it. She is forever the subject of unjust treatment.

I do too, just don't think I am going to put in the effort to gather 250 Aether salvage per toon that I would want to be able to do a mini on. I checked, and I have earned a few of the salvage (maybe 10 or so), but 250 is too steep for me as a per toon unlock. If it were an per account unlock, I would maybe be persuaded to do more content that rewards the salvage, but I'm just not that interested in getting them. sorry all, didn't mean to derail the thread. I'll get back to posting new and exciting costume designs 😁

well that seem hardly worth the effort. Oh well maybe I'll pick one up later.

I the mini mode costume power, per character or per account? Looks like I got some work to do! Oh the possibilities 🙂

My bots are not men, they are my pets 😉 maybe they should be called minions going forward

ok so I kinda took a break from paying attention to what was going on in game. How are you guys getting the tiny costumes?

thanks. I am definitely not a sit back and command type player, I get up and close to danger, and therfore take a lot of hits.

Thanks for the input. I will have to try out some of the changes on the beta server. Hami-Os are no issue, I got multiple billions to play with. pre page 5 I regularly solo'd AVs and did +4/x8 content solo as well. I rarely had to re-summon pets or died myself, unless I screwed up. Neither myself or the pets ran out of end ever, but that has all changed. I tend to take a lot of regen in health, because I like to play in close to the pets spamming twilight grasp, and therefore get hit with enemy AOE's a lot. This was the most survivable/hardcest hitting build I have come up over the years (it was not my design however, but grabbed from other players and modified slightly), and it has served me very well so far.

Like the title says, What changes would you make to this build to optimize it for page 5? It took me a long time to get it just right, and now due to the changes, it plays like crap. bots are constantly out of end, and on the verge of getting killed. I cant seem to visualize what I am doing until Mid's updates for page 5.

Her is what I came up with, I hope it inspires. I went in the direction of a time traveler from the far future, where cyborgs are already commonplace. This traveler is a meld between our far future, and their distant past.

great costume, Not enough costumes use that helmet. I like how you paired it with the spectrum skin underneath as well. I also never thought about using the organic armor boots paired with the plant path aura. I really like how it all ties together.

Here is one I made several months back, Leveled up to 50 and then forgot about Pond-Scum water/plant Blaster

I was simply stating that it is easier to get orange salvage by taking standard rewards rather than using AE tickets. And despite what you think, even without farming for infamy, the market costs are fairly cheap. I know its anecdotal, but I built my first 2 toons without the benefit of farming, and never found the prices to be too high during the process, especially when I had flashbacks of the cost on the old live servers. It was surely not a case of "let them have cake" sentimentality, but rather a "teach a man to fish" moment!

A single run of an AE mission set to standard rewards, (+4/8) usually earns me 3-5 pieces of orange salvage along with enough common IO recopies, if sold at any store for face value, to buy several more orange salvage. I honestly don't see how anyone can complain about market pricing when Influence/Infamy is so simple to earn in this game.

My live vs beta check disagrees, equip on beta only provides ~1/2 of the resistance unslotted vs my live build inherent On live here are the resistance values reported Battle drone 58.7% Lethal, cold, Psi Pro Bot 58.43% Lethal, cold, Psi Assault bot 59.23% Lethal, cold, Psi Beta w/ equip unslotted for resistance Battle drone 18.75% Lethal, cold, Psi Pro Bot 25% Lethal, cold, Psi Assault bot 31.25% Lethal, cold, Psi if I go into a respec on live and view the resistances on the pets its 21% across the board. I get the values above with exact same build just viewed live vs beta when viewed power stats in enhancements window. The thing is, none of my pets are slotted for resist on live, and the beta build is a direct transfer from the live servers. so I am unsure of how the mechanics work, but without slotting equip, my pet resistances are decreased by these changes. If I am missing something with the mechanics of how its calculated, I could be off.

something I have not really seen much mentioned about is the loss of inherent resistance in the pets being moved to equip. now unless I sacrifice slots from other powers to place in equip to boost resistances, my bots take a serious hit to their survivability. So far from my testing, I just cant see how the increased damage output out weighs all of the negative changes to the set (some may disagree). Personally I'm just not seeing much benefit to the changes, unless I fundamentally change the way I play my Bots/dark that has used the same power choices since COV went live. Now I must chose powers I don't want, and sacrifice slots to them from powers in my secondary that I need, just to justify a not so great buff in bot damage output. All of this at the expense of being able to play my toon in the manner in which I have been doing so for many many years now. Sorry Devs, but too many changes to too many things. this is one of those times when baby steps are needed, not a complete overhaul of fundamental mechanics.
