  1. Sry, I'm very new

    How do I join the channel?

    I intended switching to hero side once I reached lvl 20. I only wanted villain to unlock the arachnos soldier. But since my friends were villains, I decided to stay since they're helping me a lot in leveling up with them.

    I'm beginning to see what the fuss is all about in Bots. Last night, I duod with a low level 5 friend and we were steamrolling everything at 0 / +5 difficulty. Looking forward to Upgrade. 4 more levels to go!
  2. Thanks everyone, I'll make sure to save that build and use it as a guide for when I'm not sure which abilities to get.

    I just got to lvl 26 and I have to say, with the assault bots, everything became awesome. I'm running at 0/+2 atm but I plan on trying 0/+3 or 4 when I log back in again. Everything became easier once I got that big awesome robot. I'm now looking forward to lvl 32! I almost rerolled but I'm happy I hanged in there!
  3. I'm not sure if there's a channel I could go to but I'm currently on Justice server and very few are willing to group and even if I get invited, the group disbands within after the 1st or 2nd mission .
  4. Thanks for the advices.

    Here's my build so far. I just got to lvl 25 so one more lvl for the assault bot! And most of my enhancements were lvl 20 so most expired already. I also just found out I've been slotting them wrong, for instance, I have 4 accuracy buffs and 2 attack buffs on my bots while I have all 6 def buffs on my prot bots and ffg. I didn't know they diminish everytime you slot the same thing. So I just plan on putting 1 accuracy buff and then 3 attack buff and the other would something else.

    Here are what I have so far at 25

    Robotics

    Battle Drones
    -plan on putting 1 +accuracy, 3 +attack, not sure for the next 2 enhancement so far. Does -recharge affect their skill recharge from that laser attack? or it only affects battle drone skill recharge?

    Pulse Rifle Burst
    -I knowI shouldn't have taken this but I remember not having any options when I got this. I only had option of either this or Triage beacon. Since beacon is situational, can't be moved and has long recharge, I just decided to get the one I could use the most and can probably be useful most of the time. Only put 2 slots on it and plan on putting 1 +accuracy and 1 +attack.

    Equip Robot
    -of course, just a normal -end enhancement

    Protector Bots
    -I had these with 6+def buffs but since I know better now, I will put 3+def buffs, 2+attack buffs, and 1 +accuracy buff

    Traps

    Web Grenade
    -had it slotted with 4 +immob duration. Not sure what to put right now. Does +accuracy increases chance of hitting mobs, especially bosses to be immobilized? I plan on putting 2 +accuracy and 2 -recharge

    Caltrops
    -I had these as -4 recharge but I plan on putting 2 -recharge and 2 +slow.

    Acid Mortar
    -I had this as 5 -recharge. But now I plan on putting 3 -recharge and 2 def debuff if it's available

    -Force Field Generator
    - I had this as 6 +def buffs. I'm not sure what else to put on it since end isn't a problem and recast isn't a problem also.

    -Poison Trap
    -only has 1 slot so far. I just put -recharge on it.

    Pool Power

    Hover
    -not slotted. Just had to take it cause I wanted flight but I didn't want to take air superiority. Much more useful for me than Air superiority

    Flight
    -not slotted

    Assault
    -only 1 slot so far. Not sure what I can put in it yet

    Tactics
    -only 1 slot so far since I got it at lvl 24. Not sure what I can put in it yet too.

    Hasten
    -also one slot so far. Have it as -recharge atm.
  5. Thanks, that's at least good to know. I'd just have to hang in there and go +0 levels on the difficulty and try again at lvl 26.

    I am almost tempted to reroll a bots/dark. But I'll hang in there. Thanks!
  6. Hello everyone, I currently have a 23 bots/traps MM. I don't know what I'm doing wrong or if this is a class that won't shine unless I get the assault bot?

    Right now, I'm having problems with difficulty setting of just lvl +1. I heard this was supposed to be a really good build. I'm just wondering what I'm doing wrong.

    I've been reading all the guides here to make sure I make all the right decisions.

    I stacked def buffs on protector bots and FFG. I had 3 +accuracy and 3 +attack enhancements on my 3 battle bots and i have the others at -recharge.

    I'm in this mission where I have to kill a clone of myself. But my cloned self keeps 1 hitting my bots. It's even worse when he uses his photon grenade as that's a 1 hit kill on my all bots. I don't understand this. Good thing I didn't decide to fight 2 of myself or even 3 of myself at once.

    Do I have to get to lvl 32 or maybe 26 at least to fully be able to see how great this build is? I remember when I did merc/dark and I was easily killing lvl +2 enemies.
  7. Thanks guys, that's really good to know. I thought I messed up when I pressed the "Cancel Billing" Button. I'll make sure I add more time before the last day.
  8. Hello Everyone, I wasn't sure where to put this question as there was no place I could find to put it.

    I just have a question regarding my account. I'm very new so I just need to make sure I was doing things right to get the vanguard pack for free. Yesterday, I put in a 2 month sub card on my account and it's now valid until April 10 of this year. When I signed up, I used a credit card so I could play. I know it hasn't charged me anything yet.

    Since I didn't want them to charge my card and I wanted to use just game cards for this game, I clicked on "Cancel Billing". Then it put me on the screen on some type of survey asking me why I "quit"? This got me worried. I didn't plan on quitting. I just planned on using Game Cards since there are months where I couldn't play and I didn't want to pay for those months and a Game card can help me avoid that.

    My question is, is my account still valid for the Vanguard Pack event? It will expire on April 10th and I plan on putting more time card on it to make sure I go past April 18th, which was the requirement for the Vanguard pack. Do I have to worry about anything else? Do I just need to make sure my account is playable from Feb 1st to April 18th?

    Thank you in advance.
  9. Thanks guys. Yeah, I just wanted to unlock the Arachnos Soldier. It's the Archtype that comes close to a hero/villain character I had in mind (similar to The Punisher). I decided to take Mastermind Mercenary/DM to get there faster since last I played them, I leveled it real fast to 18, only problem was, he was also Praetorian .
  10. Thanks for the replies. I guess I'll just start another new character again.
  11. oh man, I didn't know you can't unlock them if you're praetorian, I thought it only based on the archtype you put to lvl 20 wether it was a villain or hero archtype. I was looking forward to being an Arachnos Soldier (Their powers and skills fit my concept of a hero/villain better).

    Oh yeah, if I went to Villain side once I'm done with Praetoria, can the game see it as a villain archtype and unlock the epic archtype?

    But thanks for clearing that up.
  12. Hello Everyone,

    I'm sorry if this has been asked a lot of times. But I've used the search button and I couldn't find any topic that answers my question.

    I've just hit lvl 20 on my Corruptor who is a Praetorian. After he reached level 20, it said "Epic Archtype Unlocked". I already know I would unlock them but when I look at the character screen, none of them are unlocked.

    Was there anything special I have to do?

    I've read on one thread that I can't unlock them if my Character was Praetorian. Is this true? If so, why would it tell me that I've unlocked an Epic Archtype once I reach level 20 even though I wasn't supposed to unlock it as a Praetorian? I was looking forward to trying out the epic archtypes.

    Thank you in advance.
  13. Thanks a lot guys. I'll take Burst then. I'm definitely taking Sniper Rifle (at lvl 12) because it was the main reason I took Assault Rifle as a primary.
  14. Hello, I'm having fun with my Corruptor AR/Traps Character. Caltrops help a lot big time in making my enemies stay at long range. Right now, I'm not sure if I should take 2 abilities. M30 Grenade and Burst. Are both these worth it to get? I'm currently level 6 and I can't seem to decide if I should get M30 Grenade or Hasten. I won't be using Hasten much at this low level. I realize that I seem to be waiting on Recast on my main attacks so a 3rd attack skill like M30 would be a nice addition. I would think Hasten would help with that but with kind of a long recast, I'd have to wait every fight. But I'll definitely get Hasten, probably at around level 8 or 10. Right now, I think I need more offensive skills.

    I wouldn't think of getting M30 if I was a blaster or Defender but with Scourge ability, I'm now thinking twice of getting it as a Corruptor. I just want enemies to stay away from me as far away as possible so I can shoot them from a far and combined with Buckshot, I could knockback enemies more often. Is this skill worth it? Or should I just replace it with with others from the other pool?

    Thank you in advance.
  15. Thanks a lot. That answered my questions and made me already decide. I was actually torn between Devices and Traps but Devices was in Blaster and Traps was in Corruptor but I like Scourge better so Traps it is. Thanks
  16. Thanks, Yeah, I wanted a character where I can think of strategy and such. I don't want characters where I just run in, use my offensive powers and kill lots of enemies within a couple of seconds (which is exactly what happened when I tried Robotics and Merc MMs with enemies 2 lvls above me). I wanted one where in I can assess the situation and tackle it strategically like placing traps, debuffing enemies and such to make things a lot more interesting. That's why I wasn't having fun with MM and other melee ATs.

    From what I read from corruptor, and from trying it out, my damage increases as the enemy's HP decreases right? So that might be the best choice then?
  17. Hello Everyone, I've been playing this game for a while now but I can't seem to settle on one main character. Everything seems to catch my interest. I've looked at every guide and every archetype and I can't seem to make a decision on which to choose.

    I'd like to be able to solo well. Better if I could increase the levels of my enemies by at least 2 above me and especially fight Bosses solo. I've tried all the masterminds but I end up being a support for my minions instead of being a damage dealer from afar.

    I seem to be gravitating towards Assault Rifle. Mainly because of Sniper Rifle and Ignite. The only thing that worries me is that I read it gets resisted a lot at higher levels. I've tried it as a Blaster with /device and the low levels are hard because of lack of abilities and defense this early to kill enemies quickly.

    Right now, I'm thinking of making it Corruptor but I can't decide if I should go /Dev or /TA. Which would help me greatly at both lower level and higher levels? Any helpful advice and strategy at lower levels will be greatly appreciated. I'll be following one of the builds in this forum once I've decided which to get.

    Finally, if I were to take Trick Arrow, get oil slick and Ignite. Use oil slick and then ignite it with Ignite, will that be 2 DoTs working at the same time or thats not possible?

    Thank you in advance.
