Quote:Yeah, i think it would be better if they took the howling from BM's Dire Wolf and replaced that with the barking. The howl once every minute or so isn't as bad as the constant, non stop, mindless bark bark bark. I do like the pet tho, thematic i can make it work too. Toon name is Body of Darkness, bio: "I am the Darkness. I have no need for a form in my own realm, I am a gaseous entity. However, when I roam beyond my own realm, I can form a solid mass, a Body of Darkness. I can pick many forms, any solid matter I desire. This, is just one of my many manifestations." hence i don't really mind the form of the pet, since i have 2 female, 2 male and 1 monster looking outfit. However i do understand that this is not the case for everyone.Originally Posted by ketch
Umbra Beast's howl hasn't stopped me from playing the set, but it has provoked me to replacing the sound file with a blank. Its howling every 10-15 seconds was that annoying to me. Of course, it's not the first case of a sound driving people away from a set either; see Demons and Sonic Blast.
The overall presentation of Dark really takes a hit from Umbra Beast, annoying sounds and thematically restricting pet all rolled in one.
I always find it funny that people have 50s in new sets within days of their release. I suspect it contributes a lot to how quick excitement dies down for some sets. For me, I'm still working on first dark control character, slowing leveling her and learning the ins-and-outs of its powers.
I really hope that one day we'll get some pet customizations for the Dominator, Controller and even the MasterMind pets.
Imagine 4 robot pet MM's, one with the regular looking pet, 1 with the original clockwork, 1 with the Praetorian clockwork and one with the War Work as pets.. that would be so awesome in my opinion. -
Quote:Thank you for giving me credit on not asking for a build, but stating that my build NEEDS help is not your call to make. I am the one playing it, not you. If you don't like my build, don't use it, i never told anyone that they have to use this build, so don't tell me my build need help, the reason i posted it was because some people were wondering how i could place 7 Purple sets in a Dom.. i said this before about ANY build ANYONE makes: YMMV.Originally Posted by Oedipus_Tex
I agree that build needs some help. I will give you credit for at least trying though, instead of just asking for a build.
Looks like a nice build, i hope it works for you. I might make some adjustments to my build the more i play this toon, but as of now, i am content.Quote:Originally Posted by Oedipus_Tex
Here's a partial revision for you. A bit endurance heavy. Recommend the Agility alpha and probably Ageless. Soft capped to ranged in normal content before you hit your first enemy (important for AVs especially).
Also, suck it up and take Hasten. If you REALLY want to put Fly back in there in its place, you can do it, but realize your perma dom status depends on never getting hit with a single -Recharge debuff. And lacking that one power is seriously hurting your build.
PS: I rather like my Travel Power.
BTW, telling me to suck it up and take Hasten, is not the way to make friends. And Not having Hasten isn't seriously hurting my build, i can do what i need just fine without it.
If you'll give me the cash to buy I/O Boosters, i'll use those on my main toon 1st. Never assume anything, it can bite you in your behind.Quote:Originally Posted by Oedipus_Tex
Note on a few powers I assumed you can blow a few enhancement boosters. These cost points/cash, so if you opt not to, some more minor revision is needed. Mainly Stamina, Hasten, the heal in Life Drain, Soul Drain, and Gather Shadows. You can reconfigure if you don't want to spend the cash or don't mind a little sacrifice in these powers (Hasten is a must-enhance tho or else drop a slot from somewhere and move it here to make it perma). You may also need to drop a damage proc in Living Shadows in favor of more endurance reduction, or enhance that slot with another EB.
Seems like your revised build, that i never asked for, needs some more revising. May i suggest you make one, and stick it where the sun don't shine? Until i actually ask for help on a build, and then you can pull it out and show me.
Sorry if i come across as rude, but i never asked for anyone to rebuild my build, let alone have people talk to me the way this guy did.
Showing respect, making suggestions and showing how a build could look with a few changes is fine, but don't tell me my build needs help when i clearly said i am happy with it. Also telling me to suck it up and do this isn't the way to get me to like you, and assuming anything.. well, ask Gene Wilder what he thinks about the word assume. -
Quote:Yes, how funny that he didn't mention anything regarding darkness, just talked about sounds. He wanted to, he really did.... but he said scratch it, so i erased my memory and did not see it :POriginally Posted by Stone Daemon
*Points to the first couple pages of people complaining about wolf howling*
And how annoying the Umbra Beast's howl is, i really doubt that he was A) referring to that, and B) Has stopped most people from playing this powerset.
Yes, as with ALL new powersets, people will try it out, thus u see more toons with those powers. After the hype calms down, u see the people who like the powers play it. Remember Time Manipulation? Same thing.. 6 out of 10 u saw were TM toons, and i doubt that the sound from that set stopped people from playing it. -
Quote:O.oOriginally Posted by Stone Daemon
It amazes me how many people complain about sets ruined by sound--no, scratch that...
It amazes me how many people play with the sound on in the first place. I turned that off after my first year or so with the game. Only time I ever feel the need to turn it back on is for a glowie hunt. How does the constant sound effects of enemies shooting/attacking you not grate on your ears?
*Points to sign above thread door*
I think you may have wondered into the wrong thread with that comment.
No biggy tho, it happens all the time. -
Quote:Nice changes.. here are a few of my thoughts:Originally Posted by Memphis_Bill
/this.
The list needs an overhaul, yes.
- Redo the "Top 100 SGs" so it's specifically saying "Highest prestige," as opposed to suggesting it's some actual measure of quality.
- Have a button to contact whoever has the "red star."
- Have more descriptors and filters that the SG can set (RP/Heavy RP/PVP/private/themed/etc.)
- "Last active" - if you see one that looks good but has had no activity since 2006, you know you can skip it.
That listing is generally pretty useless as it sits.
List prestige earned, and prestige bought too.
On my home server there is an SG who just buys all their prestige, even claiming it in his description, and i'm fine with that. My issue is the SG who is obviously buying prestige to keep up and stay on top while claiming that they do not buy prestige.
Prestige imo, is a form of overall SG activity, and it is misleading to just note the total prestige.
Example: SG 1) 1 person SG, person buys 1bill of prestige per day, while only logging in for 5 minutes per day vs. SG 2) an SG of 10 playing several hours per day. Just counting Prestige SG 1 would look more active.
Also add a list of SG communications.
Some SG's have their own Chat Channel, web page, Vent, Team Speak and such, have the ability to add that, and not just in the description. -
Like i said, it is my 1st Dom and i really didn't do much research to any builds or what not because both powersets are new.
I knew i liked the play style of my main toon, being a Jack of all Trades, so i kinda went for that too.
In regards to other peoples feedback to this build, play style on paper is different than in practice. My crowd control is just fine, Living Shadows stops most in their tracks, and with the added proc, even holds at least 1 and most of the time more than 1 in a mob per use. From there on i Can hold almost any foe with my Dark Grasp. I can get in the mob, throw HoD so they are stunned for a few and lose some ToHit, use my Engulfing Darkness to cause some more damage, and most of the mob is already dead.
Shadow Field i noticed works bets if dropped on a mob, not for foes who are not in there when it drops as they take a while to get held if they wonder in it.
I Agree with Dark Embrace 6 slotting as kinda wierd. The effect of the set is not much to that point, but i needed the extra HP.
As to the Regen Tiss/Life Drain comment... My Health and Stamina are slotted this way on all my toons, depending on certain sets bonuses some toons might have a little different slotting, but this is my standard base.
Life Drain isn't an Auto hit, Regen Tiss is, also Life Drain need to be in range for it to use, while Regen Tiss is always in range.
Oh, and why 5 slot sniper? 450 per hit is very nice from range, plus the added rech bonus is nice too.
Anyways, untill you either play with me while on this toon or actually try this build out, all you can do is speculate. I understand that you guys have more expiriance with Doms than me, again, it's my 1st Dom, but i like the fact that i am not your average Dom. I know we all have a role as an AT, but on a league of 24, u really need that many role players? We can't all be the Lead Tank and such, right?
Anyways, thank you for your feedback, but as long as i am happy with this build, that is all that matters.. as with any build anyone makes.. YMMV. -
Quote:A friend gave me a code from the CoV box, made a new account under my own master account and 1st toon i could make was a VEAT, without being level 20. Yes it was a VIP account, but still, VEAT as 1st toon without having a level 20 toon 1st seemed odd.Originally Posted by Rajani Isa
Note nowhere are Epic ATs unlocked by reward tier - although a bug allows some people to keep access without specifically paying for it as a premium player.

Quote:Thnx.. hence i don't have them >.<Originally Posted by El__D
Those pants are from the first VIP Tier 9 costume pack (Celestial).

Are those also new pants on the VEAT?
Pet.. still meh.
Aura, need to see it in action but so far.. meh.
Hero Helmet, looks ok
Villiain Helmet, top part needs to be lower.
Overall though so far.. Meh. -

Ok So I'll be that guy that complains. Many of us have been waiting for months to receive our annual vet badges. We've been told on more than one occasion that it's not a high priority to fix. While it may be cool that toggles don't drop after 15 or more minutes offline, this QoL upgrade was more important than a reward system that doesn't reward at all? I never really minded that the toggles weren't on when I loaded a character after a couple of days. It's just always been that way and I can't say I've really given it much thought. So I'm left to wonder, why is this toggle thing or say renaming a new badge something different a priority over fixing something that's been broken for months?
Yeah, my 2 year anniversary was in September, just a few weeks after i21 went live... still waiting on my 2 year vet badge >.<Quote:Originally Posted by Necrotech_Master
iirc that system has been broken about since freedom launched, but i do agree with you, i know im coming up on a yearly vet badge in approx 3 months and i know many others who have been waiting for one for many months now
i would rather see that fixed as well, as i am also confused why its not a higher priority issue
At this rate it seems I'll be waiting on my 3 year vet badge too >.< -
My 1st Dominator, and kinda like i did with Nephila, i broke the mold.
No, i do not have Hasten, i couldn't justify from a concept point of view how something dark has glowing hands, so no, i'm not a permadom either.
I am however pretty solid in the style of play i made for myself, and so far i had no complaints on a league.
And as you can see.. 7 Purple sets, 1 ATO set and a PvP set, without braking any 'rules'. :P
EDIT: This was my blueprint build, ingame build has all procs like Kismet, LotG, Numi, Miracle, Regen Tiss, Perf Shift, BotZ and Celerity at their lowest possible levels.

7 purple sets? O.o. are you aware of the rule of 5?

Welcome to the City Kid!
And yeah, multi Accouns under one Card should be possible, can always switch cards later.
PayPal option works too. -
My Dark/Dark Dom is the only toon who actually could keep me away from my main toon which i have been playing on a daily base for close to two years now.
She's 50, has a few T4 most T3 Incarnate powers, and she is done with slotting... 7 purple sets. >.<
Anyways, she's in my top 5 of favo toons, prob 3rd.. Neph being 1st and my Tank being second.....so far -

Sit tight everyone. We'll have more information to share regarding the Loyalty Program tomorrow.
But.. I'm curious

Quote:I can understand where you are coming from, as a 7 year player. But Neph is the 1st toon i completely made myself, and VEATs are not as mainstream as a fire/fire tank and such, so when i was leveling him up, finding a play style and such, there was nobody on my server or friends to ask for advice. And when i just started with him, i was semi shunned cause there were only a few people who had a VEAT who know what they were doing, and they were long time players, not a rookie like me.Originally Posted by blueruckus
I was protective of my build too, but then I remembered its just a game and got over myself.
I've noticed that people don't normally copy builds but use them as guidelines and make their own customizations to them anyway.
I'm proud that within a span of 1.5 years i made a toon that impressed players on my server that have been playing even longer than you, and even they say to not just give out my build to anyone.
My basketball coach taught me well "If a man is hungry, do not give him a fish. Instead, teach him how to fish." And like i said, i'm willing to give tips and advice to anyone, but not share what took me countless of hours playing and studying to make it a perfect fit for my play style on him.
My lead Tank Mori, a WP/SS Tank, that i made before Neph, or now my Dark/Dark Dom i made, i have no issues sharing my build with people.
And if people don't understand or respect my view, they need to get over themselves.
PS: Thnx for the info gerading the Core and Radial version of the Support Hybrid.. seems like Radial would be better regarding my style of play. Although i might end up making both Core and Radial.. Core for smaller Leagues and Radial for bigger Leagues... still keep Assault for when i'm solo. -

Can you just give us a run down of the build, the def, res, all that kinda stuff?
All i wanna know is if the Core version for the Support tree affects ALL pets, including other player's pets, or only my own pets. -
Quote:Many times i have had that question asked me because they love how my Crab is, and each and every time, i decline.Originally Posted by Trilby
Dark, could you post your build, I would love to see it.
And looking at the numbers, I would suggest, if you can afford it, swapping any damage proc for the Spider's Bite ATO proc. It is half the chance of a normal proc (12% superior) but it is (assuming my maths is right), 71.5 damage. Meaning it adds approx 7 damage to every attack. It is also not procs per minute, so I'm guessing it has a higher chance to proc in AoE's.
I don't have space to fiddle with sets, 5 Purple sets and 4 PvP sets. I can't play around with them or else i'd loose a set bonus.
Plus: i do not have a damage proc slotted, crazy isn't it?
I have spend about 2 years straight playing this toon on an almost daily base, to the point that i was completely neglecting my other toons. I have spend countless hours just studying my build on mids, just looking if i could improve it.. this is the best i can make it, and any change to it's build will negatively impact it. I made this toon mine, prior to the converters it was a 26Bill build. Thnx to this toon, the VEATs on my home server are making a comeback, and a lot are asking if they can copy my build. I don't know why i am so protective of it, maybe it's all the hours i spend looking at it, playing with my toon that i made it perfect for me, but won't mean that it would be perfect or good for someone else. Nephila is the Jack of all Trades, a real Blapping Cranker.
I'll give anyone advice and tips, but i'll never post my build.
I hope you'll understand. -

Now, if we can organize an all VEAT team where everyone's got triple leadership...
A VEAT Rikti raid followed by something else.. imagine 30 to 40 VEATs in the bowl

Looking at my own Crab, Nephila....
I never got the ATO, nor will i get the new ATO, they will not improve my toon, at all. Even the SATO sets will lower something in my build that i deem important.
Looking at Hybrid powers:
I think i'll go for the Support Radial while on a league, Triple Leadership buffs FTW! however this is depending if the Core version will buff other people's pets, since my only pets are my two Lore pets.
For solo i'll prob pick up the Assault version.
One thing i do hate, it will make me swap my Alpha from Musculature Core to Cardiac Core due to the End cost of this toggle. My curerent End use is 1.44End/sec with a End rec of 3.85End/sec, Cardiac will bring my current End consumption down to 1.1End/sec.
A few things i hate about this switch:
-Losing the Debuff Damage buff by 33%, since most of my attacks have a Debuff Def build in, this was a great enhancer going from 7.5% to 9.97%.
-Losing the Immob Duration by 33% was very useful with my Web Grenade to lock down mobs and escapes on BAF. Having 45.6Sec instead of 40.36Sec is a great difference.
+Enhance Range by 45%, is nice, but not really compared to what i'm losing.
+Increased Damage Resistance by 20% is also nice, but it will only affect me for about 3%, bringing my resist from 35-54% to 38-57%. Again, compared to what i'm losing out on not a big win here.
Now for the main argument, i'm low on DPS. My highest number for damage comes from Arm Lash, 263.4, and that would go to 232.9 with Cardiac. Not counting my Omega b0mb as it is mostly for setting up a mob to stun, I have a total of only 2 single target ranged attacks (Channelgun and Longfang), 1 single target melee attack (Slice), 1 cone melee attack (Arm Lash), 1 ranged cone attack (Suppresion), 1 ranged AoE attack (Venom Nade) and 1 PBAoE melee attack (Frenzy). So if on a league slotted with the Support Hybrid, my DPS is even more limited as it is now.
Yes, being a triple Leadership buff type of toon is nice to have on a League, but to compensate for the enhanced end cost from Hybrid, i'll be turning into more of a defender type than the Jack of all Trades like i am now. -
funny that i was thinking and talking about this a few weeks ago after i saw the layout regarding ATOs in the auction house, some on my server thought i was crazy....
Well, who is crazy now?
I know, still me, for trying to look into things to much, but this time i was right, again! -
Can't believe nobody said this yet....
You want a combat pet? Get the Lore pets :P -

600PP a piece?!
They gotta be sh!tt!ng me!
350PP for a non combat pet is a little high, but close to double that?
GTFO with your calculations!
Seriously, you guys there at marketing should get fired... A.F.S.A.F.P.! -
thnx Zwill for the screenshots.
Here's hoping they will make the 'Helm of Tartarus' look more like the concept work, doesn't look bad, just not as great as the initial artwork.
'Helm of Zeus' looks ok, and much like original concept artwork.
The pet... just... No, please, no.
Anyways, thnx again for showing these.
Any news regarding badge artwork? the Costume Change emote or the battle aura?
