Yes, your dislike of Epic AFK badges has been known to reach Epic proportions at times

Still, you and I can agree for certain about the DJ's and PvP badges. Since the epics were adjusted they aren't so bad.

Yeah.....but what's cool is if among your temp powers is a Vanguard Heavy or some Shivans....

Nowadays my new hero alts just tear through the tutorial. They hit the contacts, get the mission and ding level 2 and then access their vet badges and obtain Sands of Mu, Nemesis Staff, and the Blackwand as well as their buff pet and just go to town.

Trying to decide what was least fun, staying off the alt to get the dayjobs, or trying to get all the PB/Heavy badges on my hunters.

My blueside badger just wrapped the PVP ones earlier this week, despite the "interference" received in RV at times.

But now he can wave goodbye to the PvP zones and simply go back to the arena for any head to head battles.

Well my SP3 is a mind dom so keeping the mind powers super charged via dom is a good thing....

Thanks for the gratz about the 1 billion

And of course, congrats on finishing them all. Now take a rest until ish 17 hits.

I have a pain MM now and don't want another. I tried Demon/Trap and deleted it.

Demon/Thermal is fun but so is Demon/dark. Poison shares its debuffs with the demons debuff attacks. Quite nice so far.

Just trying to figure out which one will be the most lethal for ripping up the foes.

Any dom power combo can achieve it....with the right IO sets plus LOTG's and a lot of infamy. Best of luck.

Minor downside to being SP3.....the game becomes almost....too easy...almost

When you achieve that level of Dominator evolution, I shall happily welcome you to the SP3 club

Like Talen said, it will do the check/fire and then the animation. However in regards to permadom itself:

Representing yet again, the three stages of Permadom; Dragonball Z style.

In DBZ there are three stages of the Super Sayan, in COV there are three stages of the Permadom.

Permadom powers up:

This is a permadom: 70% global recharge from IO's plus 6 slotted hasten. Your build will likely be a bit clunky and you risk frequent power crashes, but congratulations you have achieved permadom status!

Permadom powers up again:

This is what is known as an Ascended Permadom or just call it Permadom 2. 90% recharge from IO's plus 6 slotted hasten is the minimum for this, but you get permadom plus permahasten and a tighter build and fewer power crashes. Just remember to set Dom to Auto and monitor hasten for the retoggle.

But just wait....it gets even better!

Scene changes to Recluse's henchmen:

Ghost Widow: "Has he really found a way to surpass an Ascended Permadom? Is that possible?"

Scirocco: "Nah, he's just bluffing!"

Mako: "Yeah, you said it!"

Black Scorpion: "Yeah, he'd be what; double ascended? Big deal!"

Scene shifts back to the Dominator as he starts powering up: "AND THIS....!"

Lord Recluse: "What the??! What's he doing????"

Dominator: "IS...TO GO.....EVEN.....FURTHER..BEYOND!"

Insert 10 minutes of screaming as his power increases and everyone watches to dumbstruck to do anything.

"Sorry that took so long, but it takes some time to power up like this. In this form, 125% recharge from your IO's and you can throw hasten out the window. Oh, and you can call this: Super Permadom THREE."

Just set your dom to auto fire and don't be in the middle of an attack when it cycles back up or you risk short circuiting and crashing your power levels. Also don't zone when it's time for dom to fire again or you risk shorting out and crashing your power as you zone. A slight weakness I suppose but it keeps you from getting too carried away.


Just speculation but I think the upcoming incarnate levels will be the only way to surpass an SP3....

It's all speculation at this point, but I do remember seeing mention of something special or exclusive to those that don't switch. Who knows what it could be.

Correct. Though a market merge would be fantastic imo, they've made it clear that it won't happen.

Here's one, I'm tanking a MoSTF and on the Tree mission the leader asks me to get the thorns to use against Aeon. Standard strategy.

Then before I grab them, the scrapper on the team has a psychotic episode and grabs them and then lol's and logs off. Chat and video logs sent as part of petitions against the imbecile and then we restarted. Managed to win the restart.

Here's another example of unmitigated arrogance: Master Khan run. The TL is a tank and they mentioned how Reichsman only needs to be shot once with the dimensional gun as its a permanent effect. Having not heard this before and figuring maybe there was a change or a bug I asked politely: "Really? When did that start happening?" Their snooty response: "SINCE ALWAYS AND DON'T QUESTION ME, BLAH BLAH BLAH". A few minutes later they had "Accidentally" lost track of their endurance and powered down in a mob and got killed and decided to abort the run. Sadly I just don't believe in coincidences.

They can add as many blue badges as they want since side switching should allow one to obtain them all.

I had the word person in quotes since it was the nicest word I could post, wasn't doubting that you had someone say that to you.

Those were simply some outrageous examples of what I'd rather see over more Mo badges. Here's some more:

"I'd rather SOLO A HAMI RAID then see new Mo badges added"

"I'd rather see Enhancement Diversification's effects TRIPLED then see new Mo Badges"

"I'd rather be permanently trapped in a PVP zone then see new Mo badges"

"I'd rather face Statesman, Recluse and Ghost Widow combined with my toon stripped of all IO's AND DEBUFFED, then see new Mo badges"

For the person on Triumph I'd suggest jumping servers.

However rest assured that despite the fact that my 21 Mo badge hunters are triple Mo winners, I am QUITE serious when I say yank the badges and strip em from those that have them.

Build community? Who was the "person" that said that? The only community I've seen built from the Mo's is the Community of Haves vs Have Nots, and a plethora of primadonnas. "How dare you ask questions, follow orders and shut up! This mission is always done this way, blah blah I don't want to hear another strategy! Kiss my feet or don't run with us ever again! I don't like the way you run your character, go to blazes!" etc. Definitely not good for the overall community.

IO Snobbery: agreed. Too many people with the attitude of "Build your toon the way I say or you won't run with us and I'll boycott you from the server!" mentality.

AT Snobs: I agree with this too. Wasn't easy or fun at times to get all 6 of my Khelds all 3 Mo's due to anti-Kheld bigotry and stupidity. Luckily I know some enlightened minds that don't have AT bias and realize its the player that counts more then the AT.

Hurt feelings? More like bruised egos from some. "Oh great, so and so was standing the spot randomly chosen by the game for the ambush to spawn after we blew up that cyst and their squishy toon got killed, he won't run with us again!"

The Mo badges have been a bad idea since day one, adding more was a worse idea. Frankly, I don't think I'd care much if they decided to YANK them from the game and strip them from all that won them.

I'd rather they raise the rikti monkey badge requirement to one million rather then add any more Mo badges.

I'd rather they put the extra zero back into the Empath badge requirement then add more MO badges

I'd rather they CONSOLIDATE THE SERVERS then add more Mo badges.

That's just it, there's always someone that screws up on that mish or forgets the EoE or uses it too soon etc. etc. etc.

Bottom line, imo: the game needs new Mo badges like we all need to have a hole drilled through our heads. I'm sure they can come up with something better in terms of new badges.

And so long as running it via Ouro can still reward the badge....

Again: I'm getting it now on alts that are only dedicated to securing badges for the Accolades. Once the badge is obtained it is retained when ish 17 hits so they won't need to run the new 2 parter. Thus they can move on to other objectives and not be bothered to having to run the new one.

My main Blue badger of course will run the new 2 parter to pick up any and all badges.

Congratz!

Some of the AE badges should never have been inputted in the first place.

Virtual Tickets: pointless. Virtual tickets were no tickets at all.
Test Kills, especially 50,000. A bit of an overkill.

The requirements of some of the others could have been tweaked without removing them.

I'd rather at this point see them reassign Power Liberator/Master Thief to a new mini arc that rewards the badge at the end. A story arc that requires your character to perform missions that result in you stealing a vital object or artifact.

Yes, I know. I just want the Posi TF badge out of the way before ish 17 hits so that I can focus on other matters.

The Posi TF badge is part of a useful accolade, if I can get it on certain alts that are not dedicated to getting all the badges but only the accolades before ish 17 then all is good.
