Bonuses turn Red

[Communistpenguin]

I suggest the set bonuses turn red when you have above the 5 of each type. So if you have six of say 10% regen, that bonus would show up as red from the 6th onward. We already have this in how regular enhancements work.

I misread your post. Sorry.

Good suggestion, btw. Helps keep track of things

This is why we use build planner programs to do that, since the game itself doesn't.

This is an excellent suggestion, I'm on board.

Fun fact: in 15 years this is only the 2nd time I've read something indicating the Rule of Five applies to individual set bonuses (e.g. Small Damage Bonus) as opposed to specific enhancement set bonuses (e.g. Sirocco's Dervish set bonus #3 can only occur 5 times).  

 

This is how bad the game is at explaining the very important Rule of Fives.

Ive used one as well, i find navigating between the program and the game cumbersome at best. Actually another thing i was thinking the other day, is it would be nice to export my in game build to a text file or something the planners can import. Though i didnt see an option to track this in the program i was using either, though i could have missed it.

Actually the command is /buildsave   And it will save a text file of your build to your CoH folder in a folder named after your global name. I understand this text file can be opened by the newer version of Mid's.

It's clearly stated in the Paragonwiki page under 'The Law of Fives', but I have to agree that it's not clearly laid out in anything the player gets in their introduction to invention sets.
