Robot Masterminds should have a power that allows them to combine all their pets into a giant Mecha-Suit, Voltron Style.

(Think Granite, but with electronics.)

And apparently, not always night, the Haloween event must not be turned on yet

Servers are up

I think they did confirm Halloween event starts today.

Yeah, if they could start the patches at about 3am EST... I'll chip in a few bucks toward Coffee for the Server Admins.

Just wondering...

Force bubble.

Turn it off, stand in the middle of a crowd, and then turn it back on. They will go flying away so fast and far, you can't even target them anymore.

No, I wouldn't. In Fact, I'd like to combine my bots into one giant bot, Voltron Style.

I saw mention that the euro servers maintenance was running longer than usual... Nothing official about the US servers, but have they given any ETA on when they will be back up? (Maybe there's a thread out there that I missed or something...)

Chaotic: Some suggestions:

3-4 slots in your deflection shield, Insulation Shield and Dispersion bubble should be enough. With IOs, 3 def, 1 end should do you well. And the 1 end could be skipped on the single target bubbles. (Unless you are doing something where you need to slot a full set for IO set bonuses)

Same for Maneuvers, tactics, and Assault gets no benefit from slots excpt end reduction, so 2 at the max there. If you can live without Flight, And you really want Stealth capabilities, go with Stealth + SS, or Stealth + a Stealth IO, and skip getting invisibility.

Upgrade and equip robot probably don't need 3 slots each.

I'd probably go with repulsion field, OR Force bubble. Not both.

Repulsion Bomb is a great power now, Some older guides didn't like the old version. Makes a nice AOE Attack with KD. Great for muting alpha strikes from groups.

One thing you want to do, is try your best to get your defense to 45. Use what you ahve already, but add to it with IO set bonuses. And probably switch Charged armor for a +def armor instead of a resist one. (Check the hero sets.)

Might want to switch out Repair for Heal other from the Medicine pool. It's a smaller heal, but a lot more useful when teaming, and recharges faster.

And my obligatory suggestion for anyone with bots... At least consider group fly. Nothing looks cooler than a half dozen robots flying beside you with rocket boots. It's not practical, but it is awesome, and does occasionally come in handy when fighting on ledges, preventing KB down several stories, etc.

Lots of mine

Dark/dark is a very solid choice. Better suited for defeating a lot of minions vs. a single boss, but it's a great build.

Learn how to use cones. It will be a needed skill for you, with the fear, your cone attack and Tentacles.

Crazy, I know. But I've got 4 characters in Praetoria now, working through all 4 storylines... and I don't want to team up with them, and outlevel any of the content. I Should have rolled something more solo friendly than Controllers and Tanks I suppose...

Make that almost 8 hours now.

No, wait... never reset my watch after that Oroboros Incident...

Server Status screen shows everything up, but I'm unable to login.

"...unable to connect to the login server..." error message.

Is it just me, or is it down for everyone?

nevermind, seems to be working now.

Hmm. Now the servers are lit up, but I can't get to the char select screen. (Error message saying lost connection to DBserver)

I'll try again in a bit, but is that happening to anyone else?

Every server is showing as up right now, but when I try to login, I either get blocked at the login/pwd screen, or I get past that and all servers are grey.

"Just Said No to Superdyne!"

Oh, heck. Thought it was active thru NEXT monday.

Trying to transfer some toons, but I'm getting an error message saying that it could not connect to the Billing Server. Is that happening to anyone else?

DOOOOOOM! is very resistant to reality.

Can you promote a trusted friend to the first rank, and then ahve them transfer it back to you after you move/rename?
