Beware of mutations

[Ejlertson]

A while back I purchased Secondary Mutations via P2W and has since then used it to add a minor boost.
Basicly I click it whenever i see its recharged and it then adds whatever small bonus it decides upon.
I´ve used A LOT so yesterdays surprice mutation took me entirely by surprice as it turned me into a Rikti Monkey.
As i was engged in a heavy fight it had a very qick and painful faceplant secondary effect.

So words of caution, Secondary Mutation can be dangerous to use 😂

At least I got a good laugh out of it 🙂

I strongly suspect the RNG rebalances if you're in combat to roll the monkey result more often.

I just keep fighting when that happens. The monkey's fart cloud is OPaF.

I got it two times im a row during a SSB.

Bill knows where its at! 😁

once I activated Secondary Mutation while I was 3/4 of the way through one of the shadow shard zones . . .

 

turns out this isn't the wizard of oz and monkeys can't fly -_-

One of the few Prestige Powers that has a "natural 1" RNG outcome.  😄

 

The other one that makes me laugh is the "Lab Tanks" in the Science Lab instance maps.  Destroying any of the four gives the chance of a short term buff to stats, or a debuff depending on what you get dosed with after the explosion.

I know I'm in the minority, but I would love to see more random D20 crit and fumbles added to the game.

I remember the first time on live where I got dosed by that debuff. It made me weary of them afterwards.

I hit those lab experiments all the time. Can't remember when the last time I got debuffed by one was but they were some pretty hefty debuffs.  Like OG Vazihlok Wasting Disease bad.

Maybe I am seeing the (de)buffs wrong when they happen, but can the debuffs and buffs affect either base values or modifiers? I feel like when I get hit with a debuff even if the other 3 are buffs to the same attribute (regen, recovery, etc.) that they don't overcome the debuff because the debuff goes for a base value but buffs go for mods.

This is why I never pop it in combat

I was leading a Silver Mantis SF. We got to the very end, fighting our way to the top of the Sky Raider's platform. I ran up to Colonel Duray, popped Secondary Mutation, and abruptly learned that this was a thing. I was pretty embarrassed, going "WTF is this?"

Then you're luckier than me. I get the debuff over 50% of the time (more like 75%), or did, because I don't bother with those any more because of that percentage and the buffs aren't all that great anyway. 

 

I never take the secondary mutation because of the monkey thing. RNG hates me so why give it more ammo?

Well now I just feel bad for you.  Few people are as unlucky as I am.  Just this morning I went to go vote and they were out of stickers. How an I going to show everyone I performed my civic duty without a sticker?

Those stickers need to be gold stars. I miss getting those gold stars like I did in grade school, I was such a teacher's pet. 

 

I voted by mail so I don't even get a sticker.

For some, that's when the fun and games start.  😄  

[Healix]

This is why I always pop it when I first enter a mish before I confront baddies....

And... sometimes it happens in the middle of a Rikti invasion. 😆
