Builder using Invention Enhancements

Does anyone know if a online hero builder exists that includes Invention Enhancements? Or even if one is in the works? I use Hero Builder religiously and would love to include IOs.

Not as far as I am aware, if you really want to plan for IOs grab your trusty pen, a sheet of paper, and a calculator then start planning the old fashioned way.

The last I heard, the person/people that maintain the online builder(s) were quitting the game and were not going to update these programs.

I believe they were looking for someone to take over for them. I'm not sure if they were successful.

I use them to plan all my builds. Doing it the old fashioned way is tedious and very time consuming. These programs make it easier and are more convienient. I hope someone takes over and continues.

I believe Sherk is no longer updating his builder. I believe someone else is now updating it. I cant find the information on who is doing this. On a side note, does anyone have the URL for the update to the builder. I have an older version and can't get it to update?

The SS builder I downloaded a day or two ago defaulted to "use proxy" in the updater configuration. Once I turned that off it updated just fine.

KayMoonPetal was the person who took over from Sherk, but I've heard he's quit the game as well.

well, you qualified with "Online", and as far as I know i'm the only one with a web-based planner. And I haven't quit the game.

Also, I am currently entrenched in updating my planner with both numbers (ZOMG! -- i am getting help with this one though to be honest), and Invention support. I can't *promise* i'll be ready when I9 hits, but i sure am trying!

Well, i have just released the latest version of my planner (www.cohplanner.com), and it now supports IO sets.

As with the rest of the enhancement types in my planner, there are no numbers/calculations with the IO. However, if you want to create a build that uses IOs and share with people on the forum/wherever, you can.

Another note is that i don't currently lock you into the 1-per-set rules. You're on your own with that for now.

Here's a quick example build export:

+---------------------------------------------
+ Built with SuckerPunch's Online Planner
+ http://www.cohplanner.com
+---------------------------------------------
Name: IO TEST
Level: 6
Archetype: Blaster
Primary: Assault Rifle
Secondary: Devices

01 => Web Grenade
Accuracy(1)

01 => Burst
IO - Far Strike (5) : Damage,Accuracy (1)
Damage(3)
Damage(3)
IO - Tempest (7) : Damage,Accuracy (5)

02 => Caltrops
IO - Curtail Speed (5) : Endurance Cost,Attack Rate,Slow (2)
IO - Tempered Readiness (7) : 20% chance of (5)

04 => Slug
IO - Salvo (7) : Damage,Accuracy (4)

01 => Sprint
Empty()

01 => Brawl
Empty()

02 => Rest
Empty()

+---------------------------------------------

Let me know what you all think! It's not perfect, but at least it's something for those of you chomping at the bit! Feel free to post here or in my Planner Forum any bugs or suggestions you have!

I know this isn't the solution everyone wants (NUMBERS ZOMG! ), but hey, it's a start!

Good job Sucker Punch!

Uh-uh. No go, SuckerPunch. We're not worshipping you until you get them numbers in.

Would you settle for adoring stares in the meantime though?

Um, SuckerPunch, could you stop improving your builder so much? Just makes me even more bummed out at work when I want to play around with builds and can't access it because work expects me to work and not surf to gaming sites. They even go so far as to block me from accessing cohplanner.com!

sorry to disappoint, but i'm hard at work at "version 3", which should iron out some of the current bugs, and introduce numbers/calculations as well ....
