Mastermind bug? check hey thanks for introducing MARTy but then somehow the +lvl shift MMs got is now broken in issue 21

Now MARTy is going herp a derp all over the game b/c u cant even control ur own creation AE which is the whole reason this crap was created.

now lets add more downtime cuz everything u introduce apparently breaks the game even more.

Seriously I applaud ur ingenuity to continue to produce new and exiting content, but your track record of pushing out new content then promising updates for it, when in reality ur ADD has kicked in and now you all just want to focus on the next big thing, it just . . . Where is the focus? Where is the promise to hold up commitments? At least keep players in the loop on which projects are "trashed" ie cimerora, alignment system. etc

If I take that character to 50 I almost always play them to get IOs and incarnate powers, however I must admit I let 2 "go".

My 2nd char ever to hit 50 Kinetic Kat a kinetic/elec defender was my first true support char I made years ago. I did enjoy myself in teams but the anemic dmg of elec EVEN after a full fulcrum shift had me just give up. Add to that no def no mez protection and no resistance. I was supposed to be a glass cannon but without the cannon attached. Ive tried playing around in mids with scorpion shield and clarion but its still the fact that i am /elec that I finally had to say goodbye to her.

Then one of my most recent 50s a demons/pain MM IOed and even tier 3 alpha was the latest I had to just give up on. Maybe its my min maxing or it was just the poor backstory and character concept I created for him but I just coulndt get into playing this character, now he sits collecting day job badges and IOs/recipes for future projects.

So now I make damn sure any char first gets the full MIDs treatment in IO and incarnate build and then I think up a great concept/costume and power selection then its off to lvl him/her up to 50 to plow throw content hoping for purple drops to fund the next project I know ill have.

Do u get the bug hunter badge for reporting things like this? If so . . .

The supremacy change was in issue 20.5 I believe

really devs? your forums are looking more wowesque b/c of these botched "fixes" . ur bandaid solution is clearly not working as bugs and issues are either left unchecked or new ones are created. this is what u get for rushing this issue out

at least be nice enough to reward your players with extra paragon points this month b/c this wont be the last maintenance this month

Clarion Radial Tier 3(Inc Special) THEN POWERBOOST yields soft cap necros who inherently have 0 def.

confirmed /bug.

sigh can we please just get things to work properly

sorry to hijack a bit but ive followed directions on how to install old ati drivers and i always fail here is what i do

step 1: uninstall current 11.8 drivers from control panel
step 2: launch driver sweeper and clean out the amd registry
step 3: accept to restart pc
step 4: run the 11-4 vista64_win7_64 exec file
step 5: install through express
step 6: get sad b/c the driver doesnt install only ati control center does. gives me no error says installation complete but when i view log it doesnt it show driver to have installed. dont get a option to restart and screen is stuck at 800x600 resolution. have to system restore just get back to 11.8

please tech gurus help im so sick of the crashing I just want to enjoy more than 1 incarnate trial before having my pc just slow down to 0 fps until it just completely freezes and causes me to ctr alt del.

Supremacy will now grant 2 Incarnate Shifts to Minion Pets and 1 Incarnate Shifts to Lieutenant Pets while participating in an Incarnate Trial. This means that Minion pets will be level 48+2 and Lieutenant Pets will be level 49+1. These Shifts will stack with any granted by Incarnate Abilities.

I remember seeing +5 on my minion pets and being very happy about that QOL buff. Now however in issue 21 I notice my pets are no longer getting an extra boost from supremacy while in incarnate trials. Anyone else notice this?

Yes that is how the accelerated mechanic works. because of the temporal selection buff placed on you, your own temporal mending will then trigger the buffed heal amount.

As has been said many times in this thread, I just cant believe how dependent we have become to MIDS. It reminds of the times I played WoW and certain addons just became mandatory to the game not because it made the game easier but the tediousness was taken out and thus left was nothing but pure pleasure for the gamer to enjoy. I really wish I had some extra cash to float to you guys working on MIDS but sadly all I can do for you at the moment is to sing your praises and give you my thanks 1000x for the work you have produced.

So yeah +1 to the mids junkie count here, honestly I was even more "excited" to see a beta issue 21 mids than i was when all the issue 21 open beta info was being released. Hopefully the devs can get some serious cash now that COH is F2P and hire you guys because honestly MIDS should be part of this game. end of story. Invention system for the new players WITHOUT mids is a RECIPE for disaster.

i vehemently disagree with pairing ninjas and a resist set. even though thermal is great mitigation with resists and solid heals ninjas are the epitome of the term "glass cannon" and placing "leather armor" on a piece of glass will still cause it break and shatter. Def sets like FF, Time, Traps, and -to hit sets like Dark and Storm go very well with Ninjas.

And in case you were wondering yes powerboost AND clarion radial epiphany(the one that inc special) gives your farsight 30ish DEF to all. with def IO and maneuvers and their innate 6.9ish% positional def they can just reach the softcap. (NOTE: Jounins will be higher than that) Now add 15.5% to hit debuff with time juncture and musculature alpha, Sprinkle on a HOT and your ninjas are G O L D E N. They kill so fast IF they are kept alive. Heck /time even gives you an AOE -res/def every spawn power as well as a mini fortitude on your jounins to crit even harder.

I love /time soo much.

Ninjas arent that broken. they have broken as in paper thin def and no res but they DO have damage lots and lots of single target damage. U know that if the ninjas survive you targets will fall soon after.

Trick is getting a secondary that allows such a scenario to play out.

Very much agree with what was extensively said above. Dark servant is your go to "walking" to hit debuff "anchor" that just so happens to ocassionally heal, immob, hold, and fear mobs. 4 pieces of clouded senses = nice recharge bonus. The other 2 slots can go for either more recharge or -to hit. All depends on what you need.

Ty all for the replies. I think I shall try to remain optimistic for the /time/ being and wait to see what is in store for the mastermind AT in the somewhat diiiissstantt future. Hopefully the spec ops get retuned and alot of the knockback is replaced with knockdown then I will definately roll one.

So Mercs is the only MM primary I have yet to try. Something about the lolcones and the lollethal ontop of the DOT really turns me off.

However with /time I figure with the -res and +dmg along with just enough survivability measures in def buffing and heals its tempting to MAKE MERCS work.

So question to the hard headed MMs out there who have stuck to their mercs to 50 , will intensive IO investment along with a dmg boosting secondary help plug in the severe pot holes of this primary? I mean with ach heel proc and lady grey proc and maybe even shield breaker proc Im hoping to see some success with it.

Please someone out there tell me MERCs can be made somewhat useful. I really dont like reusing primaries when making new alts but I have not quenched my MM desire even with 5 fully IOed MMs.

I noticed that too. Mids shows fireball as this mini nuke capable aoe when ed capped for dmg and musculature alpha yet ingame its just not . . . I respecced out of it b/c I don't use /fire thus without fiery embrace I saw little to that ancillary when /ice has sleet and Ice storm, etc.

11b in inf

10 crafted lotgs

4 crafted numina and 4 crafted miracle procs

5 piece(each) of stun/pbaoe/hold/ranged/immob purple set

2 glad armor procs

I do not play the market at all. I do not AE FARM. I just play my aoe heavy toons and run tips daily at x8 with bosses on. Usually I hoard my purples for upcomming projects and when i reach 2/5 of the set I purchase the rest then just stash it until I have need for it.

The 11b and 10 lotgs I got from just running baf/lambda daily on 2 toons for the past couple of weeks. turned astrals to lotgs or kinetic combats and by the time i had enough empyreans for the glad I was swimming in inf from all the astrals turned into recipes and the super insps sold too.

I know im not "rich" but I consider my "wealth" pretty good for the type of playstyle that I run. no ae ticket farming and no ah flipping.

recharge has no effect on pets. and even if it did /pains recharge "buff" is what 5%? 0 divided 0 is still -1.

arsonist. and feed him ur reds. boom spawn cleared.

/endrant

I do believe that hiccups like the mac client issue(damn you greedy apple blinded "consumers") is what is causing the delay in the freedom launch. But with the new announcement of a head start coming for current subscribers Id be shocked if the launch of freedom wasnt this month. Heck Im sure wed see freedom in the next couple of weeks.

VIPs which are current subscribers will continue their access to COH along with several benefits exclusive to them. However for all intensive purposes premium and F2P should still be able to access about 82.667% of the current COH content available in game.

Depends on the defender primary. For mass x8 AOE a traps/ice is great. great buff/debuff numbers and also very very nice aoe dmg.

For ST then /sonic would be good because of the insane defender debuff values attached to that blast set.

Fire is getting ported but I heard ROF is getting towned down =(

He u do have a lot of qs. Ok to answer ur most important queston regarding end usage, yes it will suck u dry with a high recharge build and toggles running but if u manage ur dom refills u should befine with not having cardiac alpha. I went musculature on my build. As far as ach heel proc if u can fit it in then it would be good on fling horns or fly trap. Remember the pet has a cpl attacks that it cycles freq to activate the proc so if u really want -res it would be good there. Finally yes sleet is all that but ice mastery is all dot and while its cool to inc ur dmg if a mob dies in 2 aoes or 2 attacks did lowering the mobs res really just help? I don't miss sleet. I'm too vain and my char needs to look cool haha.
