possibly the reason it costs so much is because h adds 10% inf gain in aura similar to the other vet buff pets

according to the server status page almost every server is either "down" or "unknown" status

are you sure you couldnt find a bigger picture? lol

ive been hearing reports that liberty is down too
but this blows i was on a great DA team lvling my dark dark dom and dc'd then bam couldnt log into server -
Quote:i assumed the same to finish before timer ran out, i figured when the timer expired you would get kicked out of the mish (i finished that mish with 1 min 23 sec on the clock, but it helps when you run lowbie arcs at -1 and using a mm as a main lol)I don't know if its a typo or it was changed from beta or there's some other reason why, but I ran Steel Savior today and the clock showed three minutes, not two. I finished it with 58 seconds on the clock and got the badge, so I'm guessing the badge awards if you finish before the timer runs out whatever it says.

so far ive enjoyed all the new content
gotten me a dark control/dark assault dom up to lvl 39 as of last night
im also pretty happy for the DD trial as it was tougher but not like keyes tough
i also liked most of the lore that was revealed through the new arcs
about the DIB trial, i think its pretty good, and i have no idea when the new badges are gonna bug, but ive done a run oif it the other day with a bunch of new poeple and we took like ~10 sec to kill the 2nd shivan and got the brotherly love badge, but ive also been with MP on a few runs where it bugged and we didnt get it even though we should have (30 sec is actually a pretty large window for multi kill lol) -
on my dark toons i usually slot darkest night with dark watchers despair, 4 slots gets you a rech bonus and its one of the better tohit debuff sets in terms of the other set bonuses
for fearsome stare i think ive heard the ATOs work well in that power (the proc should fire almost every time), before ATOs were out i used to use glimspe of the abyss for rech bonus and dmg proc
for haunt i would prolly slot them with 4 slots of either rech intensive pet set then 2 slots of more rech to try to get them perma, i would rather mule umbra beast till they take out its vocal cords cause i think haunt is way better than the beast -
Quote:i mentioned that at this point i would be ok with the dog pet but something needs to be done about the noise, its worse than/more annoying than demonsThis was all brought up in Beta. And the dev response was too bad, so sad. Would take too much art time to make it anything other than the wolf.
Combined with Beast Mastery getting leaked at the same time, this unique power fell flat of what people wanted or expected.
the noise drives me nuts and ive had several poeple ive team with comment on how awful the noise was, its high time to remove the beasts vocal cords -
buying enhancement slots for powers in any way would be horribly broken, if you can 6 slot everything theres almost no point to try making a build for whatever your playing
even them considering giving us 3 extra slots above what we currently have is a huge bonus -
Quote:nope, you have to claim meteors before completing the objective in that zone (cant interact with once objective is completed), and the DIB i was on we didnt get any meteor claiming messages and never interacted with meteor so that isnt the sourceThere's 4 in the trial.
We're... still frankly not sure how the claiming mechanic works. I ran it a couple times and we tried to figure it out. We -think- you have to speak with one of the NPCs at the opening, then -before- you complete an areas objective you need to interact with the meteor. It'll just do a standard glowy thing then you'll see "Meteor (Name) claimed!"
Doing all 4 nets you the badge. And that would be my guess where the buff comes from. -
its possibly bugged and he should be something that they forgot to implement
i saw him too when i ran his arc, no idea if it was intended as a joke or if it was a bug -

Quote:thats not entirely true, some downgraded AVs do still have the PTOD, but thats still an AV trait and not true for all EBs, however pretty much all AVs have the PTODYou're forgetting the part where EBs actually have stronger mez protection than AVs, which makes them more likely to steamroll ATs that depend on mez effects (trollers and doms).
Also, there's already too much NPC mez flying around, adding more is about as far from improving the game as you can get. -
-
EB hp is already about twice that of a boss, half of an AVs would be almost 3x what it currently is
to me, ALL EBs are pathetically weak, if its only an EB i can prolly solo it on just about anything with moderate insp usage as needed
your suggestion about adding stuff like overpowered mez is already in effect in some of new DA baddies (talons of vengeance for example can get overpowered mezzes)
i also feel that your time to kill an EB/AV is highly skewed, my ill/cold for example can solo most AVs in <5 min while ive been on full teams that also kill an AV in <1 min (the best time ive recorded is killing director 11 in tin mage tf within 20 seconds)
the only AVs that take more than 5 min to kill are usually the AVs in the trials and those rarely take more than 10 min -
the thing that annoys me the most about the dog still is the god awful noises, NONE of the other controller pets make hardly any noise and thats what i would prefer
even in RL i absolutely hate dogs barking, i dont want to listen to it in game as well
i could potentially deal with the dog model if it werent such a noise machine (although as i stated in the OP that there are other things i would still prefer over the dog) -
what i think would be funny is if you died but the baddy had such low health and your shades finished him off which in turn caused you to level rez lol

from personal experience confuse is much easier to perma on an AV than holds
i usually use my mind/fire for soloing the ITF relying basically on confuse to make sure almost nothing attacks me
me and a friend have also utilized perma confuse to duo the LRSF
just be aware that certain AVs are essentially immune to mez unless you have like a full team with you
statesman in LRSF and the honoree in LGTF both have base mag 100 protection (156 when you factor in the PTOD and base protection) and they have 50% duration resist on all mez so all mez only lasts half as long
hami and the mitos in the LGTF have around 500 confuse protection so confuse wouldnt work in that situation either
i think bane spider scouts are also extremely resistant to confuse as well but since they are just LTs pretty easy to use alternate methods -
CoT mostly contain ice thorn casters, guides, behemoths (minion and LT), and death mages
basically all the standard lvl 50 CoT mobs -
Quote:that would also only work for 1 AT worth of the ATOs since you cant slot other ATs ATOsYou can't. You can convert an ATO and then transfer the converted ATO into an Alt, but it requires respecing or enhancement unslotters.
enhancement catalysts as they currently are are pretty useless unless you get lucky on a toon that needs it -
agreed
and also agreed about the pocket d double prompt -
talk to the other ones which are standing alone
i think mangle, stardust, martial gloom, hollow point, and one other are not takling to anyone
one you talk to all them then will wait around till you have to go through the door over by giga watts
edit: looks like you found your answer while i was posting lol -
Quote:currently im working on a dom, and i dont have problems with unwanted aggro, in fact i like the pets to absorb the aggro lol, but i have a lot of problems with the sound effects for half of its powers being extremely annoying as well as a few of its passive sounds, i just dont want to ever have it out its that annoyingIt is not advisable to skip your pet on a controller IMO, but on a dominator they are all optional. We don't need them and a lot of the time they cause unwanted aggro and just get in the way. It would be fine if at the very least we could put them on passive or aggressive at our choosing. My final build might not have the pet either, although it is a nice power to slot for an extra 6.25% recharge so I will see how it goes if mids ever updates. I am going to keep it while I am leveling to 50 though at least.
