The gave us the option to "Block Architect Entertainment Email" when they had planned to use the email system for sending MA feedback comments to the Author. However that was changed to global chat instead, but the option to Block is still in the option menu. Shouldn't take much to change it a bit.

I'm all for getting an option to shut off email reception on characters. This spam junk has gone on long enough.

You would need Purple sets, some non Purple Sets and some LOTG. My SP3 is missing 2 LOTG which would top her off at about 145% recharge. However they aren't needed as she is past the milestone for SP3 already so I'm not rushing for them. Also it was built before the addition of the new PVP sets but from what I see on the market those are not cheap and I bet they don't drop very often.

As to the final price tag, it depends on your power sets and pool powers and just how far you want to go. At the very least I'd go for permdom+permhasten.

Well I know myself. I don't want to be watching both buttons to press immediately, and since you can only have one auto-fire, I'd sooner have SP3 and not worry about it. Of course, that's ridonkulously expensive so perhaps it's best to just go for semi-permadom...enough hasten/recharge to let me chain dom for 10 or 15m before I lose it...something like that. Then again, with the upcoming changes, perhaps I should just forget about perma-.

Still, the exercise of creating a perma-build from scratch in theory (using mids and excel) sounds like a lot of fun to me...and after creating it, I might as well just build it and play it.

Are you the only "SP3" around, Nericus?

[/ QUOTE ]

Nah there are other SP3's. There don't seem to be many, but I know I'm not the only one, and not the first. Just the one that coined the term

Also, why the panic about upcoming Dom changes? Castle has made it clear many a time that permadom is not changing. Permdom existed prior to IO's...you just needed hasten about 4 kin corrs to SB you......the Devs have known about Permdom since Dominators came around, it is not going anywhere.

And yes, SP3 aint cheap. But as a SP3 mind/energy.....well....lets just say that things become almost....too easy. If you are looking for a budget, then go for permdom/permhasten, set dom to autofire and know that when dom goes off you need to check hasten and have it ready.

My Fire-psi is an Ascended Permdom and should I rack up the funds then he too will evolve to SP3, but it's not a priority.

[ QUOTE ]
Just curious?

I never see any in game lately, so I decided to make one no budget for fun and can't seem to get any input on the build (multiple forums)...

Is Dark Armor underperforming that badly that no one wants to play/look at it?

[/ QUOTE ]

As others have said, Dark Armor can be a beast, you just need to be familiar with the powers and slot it right.

Mine is a DB/DA + Scirocco lightning powers = Sith Warrior In one hand he wields Talsorian Blade in the other the Rularuu.

I've noticed the combat aura can be visible, but that would be about it. Dark Armor and Granite do not win any fashion points!

Ahh, I thought the LotG was a unique. But yeah, not exactly cheap either, not to mention it'll be hard to get 5 +def skills on a dom...

[/ QUOTE ]
Concealment pool + Combat Jumping = 4, and, IIRC, Black Scorpion's shield is def, so that makes 5.

Pre-purples, I had my fire / fire perma with judicious use of purples shoved into the concealment pool.

[/ QUOTE ]

Yes, Grant Invis, Stealth, Invis, plus Combat Jump plus Black Scorpion's is the only shield that is defense all other patrons are resist.

125% recharge from IO sets and you and throw Hasten away as it won't be needed.

[/ QUOTE ]
This sounds awesome, but it also sounds expensive. Without using purples, you'd need all 5 of each recharge percentage: 7.5, 6.25, 5, 3.75, 2.5. I haven't finished running the math yet, but do we even get enough enhancement slots to manage that? I think we only get 24 powers so I doubt it. That means using purples which is $$$.

Is my math right? Is purple the only way to do this? I think I could orange my entire build for the price of one purple set.

Using Mids Hero Planner long ago when building my 2 permadoms I isolated the three stages of Permadom.

In Dragonball Z there are three stages of the Super Saiyan, in COV there are stages of Permadom.

70% recharge from IO sets and 6 slotted hasten = Permdom

90% recharge from IO sets and 6 slotted hasten = Permdom and PermHasten aka Ascended Permadom or Permadom 2

But just wait, it gets better........

Cut to scene of Recluse and his Lieutenants:

Ghost Widow: has he really found a way to surpass an Ascended Permadom? Is that possible?

Scirocco: Nah he's bluffing, he'd be what double ascended?

Cut back to the dom as he begins to power up.....

Lord Recluse: "WHAT's HE DOING?"

Dominator: "AND THIS....GOES EVEN FURTHER BEYOND!"
<Insert 10 minutes of yelling and screaming has his power builds while everyone watches, unable to stop what's happening>

"Sorry that took so long. It takes a little time to power up....call this Super Permadom 3"
125% recharge from IO sets and you and throw Hasten away as it won't be needed.

I got to 35 before I remembered about getting the 'Bad Luck' badge from Hard Luck. I went to Ouroboros to try and do 'The Unlucky Artifact' mission, as it says it exists on the wiki, but it's not offered in the Wiseguy (30-34) bracket. There's his story arc, but no badge mission.

Anyone know what's going on with it?

The mission is in the Level 35 to 40 Range titled "The Unlucky Artifiact"

I just logged in to a character with 106 emails...all spam. I'm for removing email entirely.

[/ QUOTE ]

Ditto. I've even activated the Block Architect Email option on my alts in the slim hope that it actually WILL block the emails.

Granted there is some legit usage of the in game email but it pales compared to the spam.

Give us some form of block, be it all, or from non global friends or has also been suggested, strip the trial accounts of email capability.

Or better yet, strip trial accounts of email ability and still give us a block option just in case.

I am, as always, strongly in favor of client-side filtering. Something like:
Accept email from:
o Friends
o Global Friends
0 Supergroup
o Teammates
0 Coalition
0 Any

with "Any," honestly, being the default - I use the system and help people I run across in PVP zones, for instance. Want none, uncheck "None."

Why not keyword filtering (blacklisting?) Well, say I'm spamming from www.infspammer.com. I can tell you right now, just from *regular* email experience, that the second you block the entire name, it's going to get changed. www. infspammer. com is not the same. Block infspammer? 1nfspammer. i n f s pa a m m e r. in fs pa mm er. And if you finally manage to blow all that time and money setting up and testing the blocks for all the permutations of that - I spend five bucks and get buymyinf.com, and you get to start all over again. A blacklist is just more work for less gain. After all, years after the huge push from overseas, I still get the occasional creative spelling of "viagra" showing up in my own (whitelisted) junk mail filter.

That said, I'm also strongly leaning towards totally disabling email on trial accounts by this point. Yes, it's another trial limitation... but the RMTers are getting around it by PL'ing up characters already. As much as I *dislike* the idea, I can't help but think that it'd be needed at this point.

[/ QUOTE ]

While I'd love to have more specific email filitering such as "Only from Global Friends", the whole email spam situation has basically gotten to the point of us in need of an all inclusive shut off option.

Now if they can rig it so that we can only get email from Global Friends that should do it, except then I expect to have the spammers hitting us with "Request to be Global Pals" pop ups.....

So, it has to be basically, ALL EMAIL or NO EMAIL.

An alternative would be to add an option to HIDE from emails in the Global Hide menu.....but I don't see that as being effective.

Still since we have the option to Block Architect Emails, which is now useless since feedback is via Global Chat, they have still proven that emails can be opted to be blocked.

Or the option could read by default: "Block all Emails" click it and it changes to "Receive Emails only from Global Friends", click it again and it says "receive all emails".

Bottom line though: getting the ability to shut down a character's ability to receive email would be a very well received QOL

What be the effect of putting one of the +regen/+recovery proc IOs in one of the healing pets like Triage Beacon or Spirit Tree? I believe I've read that with normal pet sets, most of the procs only apply to the pet that the power is slotted in. So for the purple +Chance for Build Up, it would only boost the Imp or Assault Bot that was carrying it. But I'm not sure how this would translate to the stationary healer objects.

[/ QUOTE ]

You would get the effect from the proc when you cast the power, after 2 min it would be gone, no one else would get the benefit.

If a pet such as Protector bot used its heal then it should get the benefit of the proc but no other pets nor the mastermind.

In short, putting the unque heal IO's into a pet power is a bad idea. Your toon, your choice of course.

Fitness/Health or Willpower/Fast Healing is there the unique health IO's should go.

Just having one of the unique heal io in Fitness/Health is the equivalent of the miniature arc reactor that Tony Stark built in Iron Man to power his injured heart.

Now imagine your alt having the Unique Numina, Unique Miracle and Unique Regen tissue all slotted into Fitness/Health.

While not unkillable, you go get a nice regen recovery.

Now add the performance shifter proc into Quick Recovery or Stamina.

Ok, most of us get email spam and are sick of it. Back in ish 14 beta, it was set up where architect feedback was sent via email and we got an option in the menu to Block Architect Emails.

Then the feedback was changed to Global Chats.....but the option is still Block Architect Emails.

So, can we please get it changed to Block All Emails, or else a second option to Block Non Architect Emails?

Turning Bone Smasher into Havoc Punch would be a good start.

I have no major quarrels with Energy for Doms. My SP3 Mind/Energy does quite well.

However if they decided to give energy a bit more damage I would not be adverse.

Supposedly fixed in the recent patch but it's not.

Ran a quick keybind that would trigger the new lightning bolt costume transform combined with granite armor activation on a stoner of mine. Worked great....costume change, then shifted into granite. Looked rather slick with the power crackling along the granite of my alt.....then BOOOM! Game Crash.

This also happens when trying any of the new Booster Pack emotes combined with Kheldian Transformation.

612 and climbing.

Stores on my area don't even show it in their system yet.
