To me it is extremely annoying to lose the placement of my skills across the hotbars after a respec. One of the most annoying aspects is all of the temp powers end up slotting to the hotbars. The following is how I'd like to see respecs work:

Hotbars retain the skill/macro placements as they are pre respec.

Only the temp powers slotted on the hotbar prior to respec are retained, no other temp powers are automatically added.

When switching to a second build, the hotbar skill placement should be mirrored from the previous build, including pre existing macros.

New powers gained after the respec would appear on available open slots, but would not bump or replace any previous skills on the hotbar.

Instead of just an option to finalize a Respec, there should be a "Try this build" option, which temporarily finalizes the skills for a set duration or until a person logs out. After the build trial you either have to finalize or adjust the build.

Thats what pet_select will do.

Your assault bot is normally first on the list:
pet_select 0 will target it, if it dies the next one on the list then becomes the target.

Either way it will take two button presses, one for the target and another for the repair or heal.

In my last edit, try /pet_select 0-5

That will target the specific pet. However, it only uses the list of alive pets. If one dies, the one below it on the list gets bumped up one numeral.

So you specify the name at the end of the Target Custom.

target_custom_next mypet alive PETNAME

Just an additional note: Custom Pet Names do not work for this, you have to use Assault, Battle, Protector names.

See if Paragon Wiki pet_select syntax works better for you.

I haven't tried on chrome yet, but there is definitely something with firefox that doesn't save the login state.

I got my Spider to 24 today. I must say, for a toon that only uses a rifle for 24 levels hes a nasty little devil. Not quite as sturdy as my MM, but I've had a ton of fun with him so far.

Thats a very interesting way to RP teleport into a character origin. I'd think its a fairly unique way in fact.

Crabs look mighty stupid using Fly, so Fly is right out.

As far as I can remember the redside, Superspeed navigation is downright annoying.

My vote is Superjump (some spiders jump, right?) and a jetpack for the emergencies.

Yep, that was the theory, but like I said in the original topic, most spiders also have superspeed, and as Claws pointed out, some can even move faster than the naked eye can see, so he was thinking about teleport.

All of this is invaluable feedback, thanks a ton for the ideas and input.

Just in case people were wondering, this is the design for my spider.

That depends on how they arrange the the directories and register with the dns.

When I had my domain, I could register directories either as a subdomain or leave them as a /directory.

At what level does superspeed become fast enough that mobs ignore you?

I remember you and i discussing your knowledge on tarantulas when I was talking about making a Crab Spider. Anytime you want to discuss it send me a PM I'd love to know more and your insights.

Since I'm already biased towards SJ, and you pretty much have the same opinion on it that i do, SJ it is

Thanks.

Well, that depends on what species you're being inspired by to create your spider.

I plan on making a crab spider inspired by Pterinochilus murinus, which is a species of tarantula that has a nasty bite (it won't kill you, but you will be hating life for a few days afterward), a bad attitude and moves incredibly fast. My travel power options are Super Speed or Teleport.

The teleport option is because the P. murinus is capable of moving faster than the human eye can follow, giving the impression that it teleported from one spot to another.

Another tarantula species I was considering was Heterascodra maculata which is similar in temperament to P. murinus and can also jump. The travel power options there would be SS or SJ, possibly both.

If you've never used SJ for travel before I would sugest trying it out on your spider. It's my favorite travel power and the prerequisite for it is useful for any character.

I have used SJ, I haven't used speed. I'm very familiar with SJ on my main. I didn't get Flight til after 40, so most of his travel time was with SJ. I didn't use any of the melee powers though, I just used Combat Jumping and Super Jump. I'm not thinking of any specifics, since I don't know a lot about spiders. I know you have a ton of knowledge in that regard. My color scheme is more geared around a brown recluse, but I don't think they have any jump abilities.

I am leaning toward Jump, I just wanted to see what other people thought between the two.

anything that is usable on yourself doesn't require you to target yourself it'll automatically apply to you. If it says invalid target or you need a target then thats the indicator it isn't self usable.

Normally it tells you in the description if it can be used on other allies, excluding yourself or if it can be used on self.

Spiders can move both very fast and some species can jump as well as move very fast. I've only used fly and super jump as travel powers, I'm inclined to get jump, however both offer what seem to be handy combat powers that could be used regardless with a crab.

So opinions and thoughts on the matter: For a crab spider which seems more feasible?

I've been toying with diff costumes and have about 4 diff themes saved trying to decide which I like best. Last night I had no problems changing the look. Today, however, I tried loading a costume at the tailor, the price was deducted as usual...no costume change. So I tried again and again. It showed I had gone through about 3k infamy trying to get the costume to load to no avail. I logout and log back in. The original costume is still there but I had all my infamy back. So once again I attempt to load a costume... no go yet again. So instead I just manually changed the colors and voila, it changed.

Has anyone else experienced any load costume bugs for spiders or other EATs like this?

Before someone mentions it, they were all EAT specific costumes for the first slot. I wasn't trying to load an ordinary costume into a EAT slot.

One of the things I love about MMOs are pet classes. If they ever do add an animal control set then I really hope they add a lot more animal costume options.

I got it last night. I thought logging off for 8 or so hours would be enough if that was indeed the case, but I guess not.

Thanks for the clarification. I guess it just needs more time.

I just got the Mercenary Accolade and got a popup regarding the Fragmentation Grenade. There isn't anything listed under accolade or day job powers, and there was nothing automatically added to my hotbar.

The only thing I can think of is that it probably needs time to power up through offline time after the accolade acquisition before it is awarded.

Does anyone have further clarification?

I haven't done anything in AE to compare, however I ran Grandville missions last night and this morning and everything has worked for me as it always has.

I run exclusively in bodyguard mode. What you might be seeing is when you switch from any other mode to bodyguard mode, it takes a few seconds to kick in, where you will take full damage in between.

Soon, when measured in a frame relative to the game that is also then relative to the amount of time our current universe has existed (as we now know it) can have an extremely broad interpretation.

That my friend is the reason why I trust people with my life, but never my passwords.

There is an alternate theory... someone on the inside is giving out or selling account info to the RMT.
