No, what @srmalloy said is correct and likely what happened. I have had this happen to me on multiple occasions. You had a level shift occur that changed in line with the leader's level range which then caused your pets to die and need to be resummoned.

This would then also need to be changed for Defenders, Corruptors, and Controllers.

Pets that come with control sets are not equivalent to MM henchmen. First and foremost because they can not be controlled themselves, not to mention that they are not the entirety of the dom or controller's power source.

Sorry you guys; I totally forgot about this today because we sort of had a last minute change of plans for today. Ended up going to my grandma's house a couple of hours earlier than initially planned and completely blanked on today's TT in the haste to get ready. Hope y'all had a good time!

Congrats @Seen2BeGreen! Congrats to all the top 4; y'all look great!

Meet WhiskyTangoFoxtrot aka: WTF or What the fuck?! The military wanted another Captain America-esque super soldier, but... they didn't want to invest a lot of resources into the project and well... this happened. No one is really sure what it is or what even happened. Somehow their volunteer got turned into some ungodly amalgamation of creatures. Horrified, she wasn't even given a name or identity, just simply called What the fuck, WTF, or WhiskyTangoFoxtrot as they hoped the enemy would be just as scared of her as they were (and if they were lucky, maybe she would die). Though it makes you wonder if it was actually the military prompting this project... Whisky turned her rage on her "handlers" and broke free, fueling her inner rage at her situation by turning to villainy. She is also genetically unstable and randomly shifts forms. So one of her shifted forms (as she comes from the depths of WTF'sville) I used for this week's theme. Whisky.costume

You no take candle!

Thanks @GM Bot! My toon looks amazing!

Every primary Coyote listed works well with traps. I wouldn't really say any work better than others, and it ultimately depends on what you want to do with the character. Are you trying to solo AV's/GM's? In that case, I've seen that Bots/Traps is pretty good. Otherwise, Thugs/Traps is probably an overall stronger pairing, but you won't go wrong with either Bots or Thugs with traps. Hell, technically you won't go wrong with Mercs either if they best fit your concept, but you won't be able to do any of the crazy things that Bots and Thugs can get up to when paired with traps.

Did you actually read what I wrote? I literally said I swapped back to my Logitech MX Ergo, which is a trackball mouse, but thanks for providing an explanation I didn't need. 😏

I had purchased an Evolulent (sp?) vertical mouse (they retail for around $100 USD) because they seemed to have some of the best reviews and ratings for vertical mice. I was looking into them because I have pretty severe tendonitis in my right arm, and I cannot avoid using a computer due to school, so I try to do what I can ergonomically. For regular, basic computer use, the Evolulent was fine, nothing special. However, I do not recommend a vertical mouse at all for gaming. It was absolutely obnoxious to use, and if you're even the slightest bit twitchy like I can sometimes be, then you'll find yourself clicking on a button you didn't want to because of the way they're aligned on the mouse. Plus, the damn thing made my hand/wrist/arm hurt way worse than before. I switched back to my Logitech MX Ergo which I love. It's not perfect, but my hand doesn't hurt as bad using it since it has a trackball (meaning you don't need to move your whole hand to move the cursor). And I find that my Ergo works just fine for gaming with CoH as well.

Another theme character who I am thoroughly tickled by and love the outcome. This is The Twisted Cobbler. Her bio is a WIP, but I like to hash the ideas I get out real quick so I don't forget them. Can't wait to actually play this girl!

This week's theme ended up being far more inspiring than I realized! This theme helped me to create a villain I am actually really looking forward to playing and fleshing out properly. Her bio is unfinished and a work in progress since I kind of slapped it together so I wouldn't forget the direction I am trying to go with her (and I ran out of space). Meet The Twisted Cobbler! I imagine that she talks to that dead cat on her shoulder. 😅 TwistedCobbler.costume

I've used the monstrous legs/gloves and feline face with cat markings along with the ears and tail to make a more animalistic bunny.

I will be there on Screaming Fury - Demons/Sonic MM dressed in her Easter Bunny finest. 😄

Congrats @DJ1 on your win!

Pretty in love with my Warshade, Elfvira's, new outfit I made her. Since her first costume slot is her Elvira look-a-like slot, I wanted to do something that maybe has a similar feel, but is a little more unique. Got a compliment on it almost right after finishing it, so that was nice!

I'm good either way, @Christopher Robin! I just have so much fun doing these and look forward to seeing the colors and theme for each week 😄 I am loving the theme/colors for this week and look forward to seeing what I can come up with Thank you CR for hosting these and putting your time and effort into creating the themes, colors, and prize art. 🙂

I'm fairly certain it's only 1 entry per person.

I will go back and edit my other post, but thanks to @Icanav, I rethought my approach to making a Major's costume, and came up with a concept that I like. I just imagine her carrying the hat tucked under her arm the way military officers will when indoors. So, here is Major Ursa Minor in her proper formal wear. And thank you again, @Icanav for keeping me from just needlessly writing off the possibility to get the character the way I originally thought she should look like. 🙂 UrsaMinor2.costume

You were fine. I wasn't upset, just not sure that you had really read and understood what I was saying. Regardless, I did say I would think about it and see about doing an alternate look that takes your suggestion into account to see if I can't still achieve my original thought. 😉

That's why I said I attribute it to differences between servers. I have done the MSR's on Indom as well; both before they were instanced and after. I mentioned Everlasting simply because ours are advertised for all levels to join, which the poster I responded to claimed that lowbies join MSR's thinking they don't negatively impact the raid. I only brought it up because not every server/person who runs MSR's thinks that.

Sorry, that's kind of what I mean. I like Mack's idea because I agree, it's bad design that some pets perform better damage without being given their upgrades. I also would prefer that pet upgrades not be downgrades.

Yes, but the main idea of the character is that Ursa Minor is a constellation that's a bear; so the main point of that sentence is actually the part that you cut out, that I can't attach bear ears to the hat. 😛 I could do everything sans the hat, but military formal wear typically includes the hat. I could try an alt costume that still works with the theme.

Aw, thank you! For whatever reason, that name is what came to mind with this theme and I decided to try and roll with it. There's some limitations with the costume creator in that I couldn't get a proper sort of formal military attire since I can't put the bear ears on the military hats. 😞 So I figured ex-Major in this case gone rogue mercenary. Anyway, glad I could inspire! Goodness knows the creativity round here keeps me inspired. 😄
