Damage ATO from Summer

I know there are two problems being "worked on" for these 1)they are supposed to be attuned and not strangely level fixed as they are and 2) they are supposed to be marketable.

My question is something simpler (I hope...) Do the enhancers actually level up in power as you level? As in, if I get one at level 24 will it get more powerful until 50? Or are they level locked like tradional I/Os. Or... Based on my limited look at the things (I only have a few, and am now completely unsure whether I want more) do they in fact all have the same fixed power? In effect, does a level 22 = a level 34 = a level 50 in terms of enhancement effect? Cause the level 50s ones I have seem awfully close to the level 22 one I got....

I don't know the answer, but they are not ATO enhancements. ATOs are Archetype Enhancements, and Overwhelming Force is not an archetype. They are Attuned enhancements, or Universal Damage sets.

Stole the words right out of my mouth, Agge.

Attuned Enhancements are supposed to level up with you. Whether or not that is the case at the moment, I can't say as I haven't been following the "bugs" with these Enhancements.

They're not IOs either. /pedant

(An important distinction since we have folks who can't utilize IOs.)

Fair enough. I'm used to using "IO" as short hand for "Enhancement." I'll update my reply.

Actually it's interesting that while they aren't technically IOs they are described as Inventions in the reward screen for completing the Blockbuster event (I'll have to try and get a screenshot at some point).

Looking at the ones in my base storage, they all appear to have the appropriate enhancement value for my current level, regardless of level requirement. So I think they do level up with you, it's just the requirement that is messed up.

That and enhancement boosters only work on IOs.

I've seen someone in the help channel a few days ago say that only the minimum level requirement is a bug and the percentages do scale up with your character properly.

And yes, enhancement boosters can't be used on them or even catalysts. For some reason people keep asking if they can be upgraded with catalysts and as far as I know they can't be upgraded in any way at this time.

It's because the thing most like them, ATOs, can.

I propose that Overwhelming Force (and future sets like it) be refered to as an EO, for Event Origin.

Well according to the in-game text it's an Invention Origin Enhancement Set (see above).

I think it's a slip up.

I've been calling it an EO, but either EO or attuned is what we should call it. Inventions are "invented" and (so far, at least) level-locked.

Maybe. Personally I suspect that the players care a lot more about the distinctions between different enhancement types than the devs do.

Maybe they just like to watch the holy wars that occur over what to call new enhancement types.

I'm gonna just keep calling 'em UDEs (Universal Damage Enhancements) till further notice.

As acronyms go, it seems to have a nice ring to it.

Are they supposed to be marketable or not? I tried to pop one on the market earlier, and it kept disappearing back into my enhancement tray. There wan't any system text about not being tradeable like you get with Reward Merits or other special non-marketable salvage, though.
