unless someone beats me to it. I will give you a solid answer on this in a few hours.

I have everything excluding the T9 stuff, but I might bite the bullet and just drop 100 bucks and pick up the 9600 points for the free points and unlock everything. But beyond that I have just about everything else excluding the wedding pack.

I will jump on my MM and look it up

In all my years playing this game I have yet to see the game developers give out a in game survey.

It would be nice if the they would poll players when first logging in what they would like to see changed. Maybe have a bunch of questions with radio button choices based on the most common complaints, issues and ideas and see what the player base would like.

Every so many weeks or months you can pick up a different topic. I clearly understand that everyone would like to have everything working great, but maybe there might be some misconceptions or just complaints from more boisterous players which muddy up some of the real issues.

My idea basically is once you log in you get a survey screen that you must answer to make it go away. Maybe a small box on the bottom for a comment about something that was not listed in the survey.

For answering the survey you get some market points as a reward and for the inconvenience.

Again its just another tool for developers.

I for this.

Or allow the players to choose how fast or slow they need it to be. I get the idea behind it. The point your doing the Trial is for the respec and your respecing because your build probably sucks. So you might need more time. But if its just one player doing the respec and 7 others IOed and Incarnated out toons going along for the ride it can be teeth pulling and mind numbing painful.

Give them the ability to speed things up by throwing a switch in the first room or something. Each switch pulled decreases the time.

Not the end of the world issue, but as someone has already mentioned all these little bugs ( unlisted features ) and quirks can be annoying. I would really like if they just explained what it would need to fix some of these issues, even if it required a whole overhaul and rethinking how masterminds work.

I would imagine in hindsight they are probably thinking we could have done this better knowing what we know now.

I tried posting in that thread link Obsidius, but its locked.

I would like group fly for my robot ff MM, but not at the sake of pissing off a team or a league.

Add more null the gulls in each zone by the level trainer. At least you can say talk to the bird hanging out by the trainer. That would be a start, so great idea for bringing that up.

At least now I can say I'm gonna use group fly go talk to null the gull to remove it if you don't want it. When I get the comment who is that ? I can respond its the bird hanging out by the trainer in EVERY ZONE and not this one spot that might be difficult for some to get to because of one reason or another.

Great idea on the adding more birds. Again at least it gives players a leg to stand on when at least trying to defend the use of the power. Telling someone its in every zone clearly holds more weight then just one special zone.

I looked over the build last night.

It does need some work. It has inspired me to test some stuff out and update my own old robot ff build. Let me see tonight and I will post up what I might consider as my new build.

One thing is for sure with robot ff you need the protector bot bubble to obtain your defense cap. In one set or another. So I am thinking you might as well go for the full 12% that it offers ( I think that is the max ) and work around getting yourself capped and your pets. I think also you should have enough room for photon and repulsion and even one other attack.

Currently I have provoke on my build as a tankermind concept which still might be doable. But I might try to switch stuff around.

I keep pushing for them to fix Group fly or remove the option from Null the Gull and put it in your own option tab right next to the group teleport option. Once Group Fly is fixed or the option of it at least I will be one of the dozens using it on my robot builds.

Okay every time I post I try to gripe about group fly and making where it does not effect other team mates that do not want it on them.

People bring up Null the Gull, but I retort back that Null the Gull is just a little too late when your trying to use it. It should not be my job to promote Null the Gull to a team of players or have to show people where this thing is. Especially if I am on a Task Force or Incarnate mission. Though you would think Incarnate stuff might be good since you pretty much start off in Pocket D right.

Further the honest reality is me saying I'm not going to turn off my Group Fly if you want it off go to Null the Gull in Pocket D and get it turned off or you can kick me from the team, will just get me kicked from a team.

What needs to be done is either change how Group Fly works or here it goes. Get ready.. Its a biggie..

MOVE THE NULL THE GULL OPTION OVER THE THE PLAYERS INTERFACE...

OMG I said.. I know its amazing... Mind blowing... Please, Please I know it makes too much sense to the point of confusing the heck out of many, but its that simple.. Why do I need to go to a NPC in a zone to remove group fly when I can disable team teleport in my interface or disable group gifts.

Yet again another mind blowing idea. Why not have the option to disable group fly right below the option to disable group teleport.

OHHH.. I did it again.. I know I used common sense twice in one posting. I will probably get banned or something.. Matter of fact I think I hear the crazy police running up my stairs now to get me.

But seriously I will show people on a team how to remove group fly if I can just explain how to get to it in their interface.

OR I can trying to explain to someone Go to pocket D look for a Box truck and on top of that truck is a Sea Gull talk to him and click the option to remove group fly effects. Oh how do you get to pocket D use your Pocket D teleport to get there. Oh you don't have that. Okay then run around these certain zones and look for a door here or there where there are fliers stuck on walls denoting its the pocket D entrance.

Which one do you think is easier and which one do you think will get a more positive response ?

I notice Afterburner is self only but I wonder if it turns off supremacy or the ability to command the pets. I have it set up on a test build but didn't think of testing it out. Will do it tonight, but I'm impatient.

To the OP - Yes it is useless

To those saying they get no results for searches

Do a search for dark melee in the scrapper forum and you will get your results for both sets. Or as was mentioned Google does it better which is what I use as well.

Or maybe they disabled / limited the searches capabilities to push everyone into this forum. Which I would not put past them.

What should have been done in hindsight is either the players denote a key word or the Devs should have implemented a way to denote a MA as a farm and punish anyone who does not followed the MA rules.

Player wise as a whole we should have made it where every title in a Story Arch started with the capital letters of SA- ( followed by a title ) and every Farm mission should have been FM - ( followed by a title ) this way you want stories or farms you can sort by SA or FM.

Or make a separate tab for farms and stories. Farms are dealt with as they normally are and are rated based on their criteria and story missions are based on theirs. No mixing of the two together.

Without a doubt as was already mentioned players will just figure something else out. Even if you got rid of all AE farms players would just go back to PI farms and RWZ farms. All your doing is moving the supposed problem from one place to another.

Allow for farms and make it where players can look or post up a farm ( or any MA mission ) without spamming repeatedly and it will go a long way to making everyone happy on both sides.

Now once that is in place, punish anyone severely who breaks the rules. You spam selling or looking for farm and your account is banned from talking in broadcast / local for a week. Get caught twice and your banned for a month. The same goes for those spamming their regular story arcs.

You must have Aid Other to get Aid Self. It is not one of the things they changed in the update. I made the same mistake not so long ago and asked the same question.

But regardless, as was pointed out to me as well when the Incarnate Alphas came out. You can pick up Nerve Alpha and be defense capped all around yourself and pets included and you will still have room to pick up Aid Other and Aid Self.

T3 Cardiac, T3 Ion, T3 Drone currently ( might change to polar lights or storm ) . I'm on the way to unlocking Destiny not sure if I want to go with Barrier for the resistance numbers or the regeneration one for 120 second duration ( forget the name ) to add on with Triage Beacon . Before Incarnates could solo 2/8 with or without pet ( pet was more for show ) now I am doing 3/8 and even 4/8 on some mobs. 3/8 setting is really more steady flow though and 2/8 is really smooth

The short answer is you can do a search for Robot Traps and just swap out Robots for Thugs and your done. The issue is what build are you looking to do.

Your gonna have to post your data chunk as titan network was compromised, so not all of it is back up.

I don't know if you can have perma pets with a defense cap crab unless your slotting 5 purple sets I think. Look for my postings under this forum I think Adeon Hawkwood had a build posted I commented on. Or it could be someone else, this is why I say search my name in this forum.

I created a range cap hover crab with perma pets though.

@ BlissfulChaos
The -ACC was removed from group fly. It's a June patch, even though it still says it.

@ Frigid_Ice_Queen
As you can see some players have recently asked about the same build. I posted up some numbers regarding what the pets have to offer you in those threads.

Your also going to be limited in how much resistance you will be able to pick up. I think this might be one of those instances where slotting 2 heal IOs from Numina and 2 Aegis resistance IOs ( maybe the status one from the set ) in the Tier 2 pets will give you some decent resistance and a decent heal along with some set bonus numbers. Then just slot 2 pet IOs.

Basically I'm thinking that maybe with a decent recharge as Psylenz mentioned and a mid range defenses in the 20s along with some resistances you might be able to pull off a safe build. Your not going to be doing 4/8 settings but I think you could do 0/8 or 1/8 at 50.

Of course if you incorporate Incarnate powers, then once you get Barrier you will be Defense capped and Resistance capped for 2 minutes as it lingers away, even the linger will help as it stacks with what you got already. I have no clue what the linger numbers are, but would like to know myself. I might have to test some of that out to see.

I try not to look at Incarnate powers when making a build but instead only to bolster a build I already have. So basically in this case Barrier would help you do 4/8.

Again not every build can do 4/8 regardless how they are slotted sometimes.
