Yeah lets dont buff masterminds because their pets cant be killed by mobs with no attacks.
They also excel at AV take downs even though they may have to be resummoned often, since you have a steady stream of pet attacks stacking whatever Incarnate debuff you chose.
I'm doing just fine with Necro on the iTrials. Mostly because I don't regard resummoning as failure. -
While a MM is at a disadvantage in the destroy objects phase of Lambda, they tend to shine in the Escapee phase of BAM. They have specific strengths and weaknesses that you have to work around.
Before you do the iTrials, make sure your Alpha shifted +1. Then go for the Barrier Incarnate power (AoE Def). It helps if you can fit in the four +Res/+Def IOs into your build.
During the destroy objects phase, let your pets die off with each attack. Stealth to next one and resummon. If adopting the tactic of constantly resummoning is abhorrent... then you're being as inflexible as melee toons who couldn't hit and move dealing with Battle Maiden. Adjust tactics.
BTW, the OP's point was the problems of MMs in iTrial content. Anyone who wants to make the point that MMs need a buff in general for all content will get nowhere with that assertion. MMs are one of the fastest leveling ATs in the game. -

No, it indicates that they use the same spawning system as regular enemies. Apparently that comes with the effect of having them targetable.
Acantha, the costume slot contact in Imperial City is unfortunately using the same spawning algorithm, which is why she is sometimes not there.
In order to get them to spawn, you need to move out of draw distance (or zone out) and come back. You may need to do that several times and then they'll spawn. -
Yeah, it does look awful 'cause that's not the way it's supposed to look. Don't know why. Does it use IE and is your IE up to date? Here's what mine looks like:

Ok, I disable that script and the board's responsiveness picked up. So I disabled all the scripts running

And no more hang up.
So, I thought: Hey, those are all java scripts. So, I want and updated my Java, re-enabled those scrips and no hanging anymore.
So, the problem was outdated java.
Turns out the first two scripts are needed to reply to posts.
The google one is purely unnecessary. -

I have been having this issue as well, for a couple weeks, and...
Wow! I tried blocking "http://boards.cityofheroes.com/clien...event.js" with AdBlock in Firefox (which basically prevents the browser from trying to download that script), and forum response picked right up again. Thanks for the tip.
Will see if it stays that way.

Lore pets don't get involved with Supremacy or Body Guard for an MM nor for any other AT.
A MM has an advantage with Lore pets in that they can be renamed (and I think petsay, too). Non MMs can not rename their Lore pets or use petsay with them. -
Quote:If the Turrets have you in sight by Nightstar... round a corner! Seriously, it's not like the Turret that was shooting you is going to call Turret #23 and say, "Hey, my target broke Line of Sight! You get him!"Originally Posted by StratoNexus
How do people survive getting shot by the turrets so much? Especially on the Nightstar side it seems impossible. On the Siege side you can yank him in the doorway and avoid the turret, but I have been unable to find the cover on the Nightstar side.
Use corners. -

NVM, it seems to only happen when entering a mission. So maybe it's just the phantom stacking stealth that comes from zoning with the toggle on that persists.
Don't test this entering missions or right after zoning. If you have Stealth running and enter a mission it will continue like you activated a Click Power. -
I just /bugged that a month ago that the LA wasn't statue-like (the way they are supposed to be) but instead, were moving slightly, which takes away the surprise of that mission.
I guess in fixing the rigidity of the LA, the fixed them right out of that mission!
So... /bug it. -

I'm betting MA had something to do with this as far as having maps with definitive beginnings, middles, and ends.

Right.
Join in progress = Join a league that lost members and is now under the minimum.
Rejoin last event = as advertised.
JIP is not the best mechanic and not working as one would think. I suggested already a 'super-minimum' where an iTrial would try to fill before resorting to the minimum. So, e.g., a Lambda, minimum 8, would try to put together a group of 12, and JIP would fill up to 12, but, if none available, would still run at 8. -

Wow, Clark *does* have super powers!
In a one-minute 'talk,' he can convince someone who was trained all his life to be sociopathic to have a complete re-alignment of values and a social conscience newly formed in adulthood. For us 'normals' it would take decades of psychotherapy and probably fail anyway. -
I'm still having problems
Hammering the boards with a refresh when it doesn't load in a timely manner is as effective as a DNS flush. Conclussion: DNS has nothing to do with it. It's the boards. -
Actually, if you're going to pull, pull to the wall near the tennis court, not the tennis court themselves.
All the squishies, especially the ones dealing with the adds will appreciate it since they'll have a corner to work with. -

Maybe one time in a thousand. The devs rarely "insist" anything is working correctly, so that specific instance is incredibly rare. But there have been times where persistent problems were brought to the attention of the devs and the players had to persist over a significant period of time to convince them to examine the problem. I can think of only a few:
1. The type-stacking defense bug
2. The labeling error of lucks and insights
3. The bugged RNG in the mission drop system
4. The Pool B drop mechanism
5. The strength of invincibility
6. The inexplicable Praetorian Event reward table.
I do an event solo. I get top tier. I do it again with someone else who joins late and contributes very little... I don't get top tier. And that's not even the perceived Mastermind issue. And there are other inexplicable cases where the reward table just doesn't work they way one expects as advertised *IF* it's working as advertised and there's something they're not telling us (e.g., a randomization parameter).
It's wrong. I know it's wrong. They say their datamining says it's WAI. It's wrong. In some fashion, it's wrong. But to the Devs, it's case closed.
And the scary thing is that they coyly hint that this mechanic may be in play with the iTrial reward table. -

aren't those quotes like 2 or 3 years old now? I mean like... even if its done a little at a time... thats quite a bit of time... they really couldnt get that squared away by now?
The longer it waits the more likely it ends up on that back burner where bases currently simmer -_-
Last I heard, it wasn't on the the 'to do' list. -
People are still advertising shardtastic ITFs months after 19 and 19.5. Shouldn't working on Alpha be dead now?
