Why you should care?
I don't think I've had as much fun playing this game as I've had with four of us in the same room with 16 pets (for 20 total alltogether). I mean the first night it was insane, we had about 12 guys total, but then with level ups, and adding another mastermind the shit just hit the fan. Sometimes we would pull, but some of the time we'd just send in the clowns (usually when we were getting tired of the mission), and get 2 or 3 adds or an entire added group. I'm not exagerating, we would end up in 10+ minute all out wars. We just out numbered the enemy. Then throw in 2 healers and protector bots that bubble robots plus ninjas and mercs.

It was stupid fun, it wasn't until the end that I finnally ran into oranges and reds, but for about 6 levels there I was fighting nothing but purples. I am not afraid of purples anymore. In fact, the cons don't really mean anything to a mastermind.

Just bring it -- we'll roll it over.

No screens for now, I'll get them up later when I get on my own computer.

I've got a level 6 MM named Botbourri now. Robots/Forcefield.

Should i start up a mm now?

Do you guys target the same bad guy at once or do you just let the pets FFA?

If we pull then we all hit at the same time.

In a mob I always focus on the boss and DoT him with my poison and everyone else goes after whomever they want.

The only time I had any difficulty was the one Elite Boss we faced. My Spec Op was able to get her to half health after I used Serum on him but everyone had to pitch in to finish her off

Well I was thinking that when you target one of your teammates you actually are targetting their target, so if you all kept a central MM targetted and let him pick the target to kill then all 16 pets are firing on one bad guy all at once. Probably drops like a ton of bricks.

It would go back and forth between Lucy and Bri pulling but I would usually target the puller like you said.

Later on this might be a good way to powerlevel alts. Load up an 8 man group, use the MM's to burn through the missions with the other 4 just chilling at the entrance.

The funny thing is, it's not just about powerleveling, it's actually fun to be in a huge army like this. I think dominators would have the most fun teaming, since the idea is to let the pets do all the fighting.

I'll have my pet by thursday hopefully.

It was like the roles were reversed from the standard mmorpgs, we were the bosses surrounded by lts and minions. Definately the most fun pet class ever made since UO

and its Ling Pow, Luci

Mine's named Botbourri. So far my bots are named Harry Botter and Ron Widget.

let me know when they get up to my level ill gladly accept some free xp and i have assualt and tactics so thatll help em all on top of it.

Note to self:
When grouping with lots of MM's, never enter a small room with only one exit.

I'd like us all to go in BB and just sick all our pets on some faggot hero.

Now that I have group fly I would like to see that happen ;)

i dont think im going to get group fly.

Ninjas are like a pit bull that got loose. I can't tell you how many times while we were fighting a mob one of the ninjas would take off and agro another mob like 300 yards away.

yeah its hard to keep track of those guys I was constantly putting them on heel, what are ya gonna do though they are primarly a melee pet.

last night lucy's ninja went crazy, ran ahead and aggro'd a big group and then jumped up into the rafters.

we were all like "what the fuck was that?"
