The problem is you get more influence by far by other methods. Farming merits is fast and is incredibly easy to get money. I get a few million that way and use it to pay for my toon while leveling and then sell off a few pieces of rare salvage as it drops. That will cover you 100% until you hit 50. So if your low on money just spend 1-2 hours doing a TF or an arc or two and your set

The only downside is the Pine planner seems to include stuff thats not in I25 like utility belt, but meh. It's a small price to pay.

The whole point is you don't need 2 builds. Use defensive and charge into that huge mob and whittle em down. Then once you've killed a few of them switch over to offensive. Or rush in and wail away at them, if you start to take a pounding switch to defensive and heal up, and then go back to offensive mode and continue the assault. Your not locked into any one of the forms, and they recharge fast so you can swap constantly during a fight as the flow of battle changes. Don't think of yourself as being limited to any one of the forms and use each of them for its advantages.

Just customize it so it has no graphical impact.

That's because it does a lot more then just add some more armor. Thought it was 25% not 50? Anyways the point is you use it when you need to prioritize defense. Defensive adaption also interacts with other powers and increases your life, add's more defense, get additional defense and resistance per enemy near you, etc. It makes you more tankier prioritizing being able to soak up everything. It's basically designed for the huge alpha strike, and something you can toggle out of once your team has unloaded on the enemies and thinned the herd out. Or during solo it's not needed as much unless you crank it up. The set is not designed for people to just leave 1 adaptation on. You should be swapping in battle as needed to maximize the potential and the features.

You can disable xp altogether, and you can exemplar down and join anyone and get double influence and no xp as well. So there are already options to accommodate that.

Anyone mind looking over my tri-form build and seeing if I missed anything? Been so long since i looked at warshades.

1. Roleplaying is not required in any fashion and can completely ignore it. 2. As for powers there really arent bad ones. Some are more situational and some powers excel more in certain cases. Aka some melee weapon's like spines are more suited for aoe damage and are less ideal then others at single target, but all are viable end game and will excel in different parts of the map.

There isn't going to be one better then another. Even the older servers aren't going to really have that many more high levels as the newer ones got huge xp boosts. There is no real difference between any of em

So this is what I have so far, i'm trying to see if I can swap some smashing/lethal resist for other benefits as im a bit over capped on it.

How did you do it? Is there an "easy setup guide" out there somewhere? If not, could you make one? I would have PMed this to you, but it looks like you have your account setup to not take PMs. I'd be very interested in this too. Same here. As soon as there is an idiot-proof way for me to set up my own server, I intend to do just that. I will happily play this game solo anyway, and while I will miss seeing everybody else's characters around, it would still be better than losing the game forever. Ditto, i'd be interested as well.

It seems like the autocratic ones are now in the majority and it will be their wills done. It's more like whats for the greater good. I mean they could support an AE farm for 8 people, or provide support for 100-200 players to log in and play. I mean the decision between the two is a no brainer, especially as there are plenty of ways to farm without the AE.

Thank you

Anyone have a link to a Hero Planner updated to work with all the changes in I25?

They posted on discord they are aware and looking into it.

Honestly I'm all for disabling the AE all togethor if its negatively impacting the rest of the game. I mean if it comes down to supporting 200 people running missions or 8 people running a AE the resources are better spent on the missions. There is more then enough content in the game itself and opportunities.

Are there extra bonuses on these on top of the standard one? If so can we repeatedly clear them and if so how often?

Also /toggle vault That will let you access vault, or you can access it from the salvage tab.

Remember its also a money sink. The money is taken out of the server helping control inflation.

I'm a hero and did my hero morality mission last night and only got 20 merits and no hero merit. So is it rewarded if you do the mission to CHANGE to hero?

99% sure i was on Virtue with my main Technoid (Ice/Device blaster) but i hopped servers alot so struggling to remember.

Ditto I had made a post as well. Even 1 dedicated forum for it would be nice

The point being that fixing a bug which can be as simple as a numerical mistake is vastly different then creating animations for powers which take far more specialized skill sets and work and knowledge.

It's been a long time since I looked into that, you can't make an individual base can you?

That is so people are forced to post items for reasonable prices, otherwise people would list items for 100 million and slowly keep lowering it until it sells.
