Wavicle Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 (edited) Give Masterminds a button at level 1 that summons all their Henchman at once but only works outside combat. Heck, make it only work when outside of combat for a good while, like 120 seconds or something.

Monos King Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 I wonder how a power like this would work. Presumably the goal is to lower the activation time, so something that just uses powexec or something similar wouldn't fit. It would be possible to create a new "Set the Board" power that checks which MM summons the player owns, as well as their level, and summons the appropriate pets instantly. However, the pets summoned by this power wouldn't have the same enhancements as your normal pets. Maybe if each individual MM pet summon got a second version with zero activation time which could only be accessed via the Set The Board power, this could work. Similar to how enhanced water jet and the fast titan weapon powers work. This could probably do it. In either case, it's quite a bit of time. Creating a duplicate of every MM primary summon in the game, creating the power that checks if you have each power and your level and summons the pets, possibly both and more stuff I haven't considered. The idea has my good will, although it might end up being more work than it's worth.

Wavicle Posted January 27 Author Share Posted January 27 Yea, I know nothing about the coding, so it could be prohibitive. But if it happened to be easy somehow!?! 😄 1 Wavicle's Guide To What Really Matters: What Needs To Be Done On Every Toon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biostem Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 (edited) I realize nothing is as easy as one would think, but there is obviously some bit of code that makes note of what pets you have and what upgrades have been applied to them, when you zone, (since to outside observers all your pets die when you zone). Why not co-op that and allow a MM to simply "collapse" their pets then resummon them as desired? Edited January 27 by biostem 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wavicle Posted January 29 Author Share Posted January 29 Thinking about it more, it need not actually be at level 1. Maybe it comes along with your level 26 Boss summon? Hey, maybe if you've been out of combat for at least 120 seconds summoning your Boss automatically summons all your other Henchman? 1 Wavicle's Guide To What Really Matters: What Needs To Be Done On Every Toon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey, maybe if you've been out of combat for at least 120 seconds summoning your Boss automatically summons all your other Henchman? Maybe even an inherent power that gets added upon reaching 30-35ish, to show you're growing at your skills as an MM by being able to summon them all? Call it Mass Replenishment or something similar. 1 Lockely's AE Tales: H: The Rook's Gambit (Arc ID 49351), P: Best Left Buried (WIP) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wavicle Posted January 29 Author Share Posted January 29 Thought about it again, it probably does need to be a separate button, in case you want to summon just your boss for some purpose. 1 Wavicle's Guide To What Really Matters: What Needs To Be Done On Every Toon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
