Seems I'm not alone...bought a 10 pact....no savages no epics

blah blah blah

Shhh! Lol

what was I gona say.... forgot

Lol I was just joking lol

Any advantage helps though  

haha let's wait a few more days lol

omg I just got some cans and 30 splicers as event compensations lol what the hell am I gona do with all those bloody things haha

Event compensation?? For what???

haha for buying savages and not getting any lol

Damn well i can see the splicers but the cans?

Hmm yeah not like they can give coins back. Damn thats why all the savages stopped showing up in the free cells. All you damn whiners yelling about it

Well hey thanks for taking stuff from the free players guys! You sure are gentlemen! lol smh

Nice, I like that theyv been paying more attention to us players lately

Yeah so advantage back to the payers :/

As cartman would say hella lame lol

On my alt (which I use to experiment consequence-free), my first 10 cell pull yielded 2 4*splicer, a 1* splicer, and a 2* splicer.

I have never had that good of luck. Ever.

Too bad these savages are grossly under-powered though.

I know, wish that would've happened during the CXB event.

Yeah the raose atk one os meh and none are good enough to take out any killers. I will admit the event rare and epic savage are noce to look at :/

Raise and is.

Sorry they got me sedated cause i'm stressing surgery lol

i think the epic savage-rare savage-epic savage-rare-epic savage is very powerful combo

You can say that again doke lol

i didnt get any splice from event cells :-( so i m just guessing. i m not sure wether the rare savage's buff is also multiplied by 4x of its wisdom. if so, then its quite powerful coz it will make the epic savage attack equivalent to 10x

This is awesome, i can farm mags while im winning at the same time. Fighting lvl 40 stage 3 bosses and getting mvp on single shot and mags just keep going up!

Have you tried running the tigrey so he buffs last? He would make 2 really heavy hitters since he procs 100% wisdom, but I am sure the 6k compounded to everyone really adds up also.

I like him to buff my last 2, before they buff so that when they buff it goes to the whole team. I hink i tried it last raid, for a couple turns

anyone else notice the XP from day one was amazing, but now it's back to shit?

Dakota really knows how to start an event off right, with no glitches  
first the pact issues, then the XP being normal (then turned down on day 2)...gg Dakota!
 

I've noticed for several raids the xp isn't shown correctly, but is still calculated and totalled correctly

they just started doing the "discovering the discovered" bs for raid bosses.

at least the first day seemed to go well.

yeah, i've had a few of these also

50 (5@10each) yielded 1 UC Tendril

skrillez v2
Rogue Assault Mech v2
Lady of Night...I mean, Deep
Crdnl Major v2

Pshaww...Shakes Head and Shrugs Shoulders...

They were regular raid cells, not purchased

I have over 20 Splicers of various versions.

You'll notice that none of them are in my squad either. Too bad they couldn't have been black bots.  

Ugh during the cxb raid black bot parts came up like crazy for me. I knew they'd be good after raid so I made a few pe ones, if only I realized how good they continue to be before I'd sold em

Also I think at that point in the game I wasn't aware buffs stacked either  

I think most players were unaware of that at the time of that event.

nobody has made mention of it, but the new buff from rare savage tendril-whip is AWESOME LOOKING!!!

Dakota actually did something right for once!!! the new skill animation looks amazing!!!

is it worth to run the savages as a free player if you wont have v4 versions in all spots or would I be better off using my wasp-key squad?

At first glance, I was kinda hatin' on this new L, but after second look, it doesn't appear to be that bad. Paired with a mord and/or blue, along with a Canis, this L could be pretty strong. I know, I know, the old argument...an L shouldn't have to be reliant on other mercs to be good...but that just isn't the case anymore with how they're moving away from the god-like mercs of yesteryear and more towards a BB like style where most L and E are not that far apart.

The shield will protect all team members for ~8500-9000 for 2 hits each (very helpful) and even though the ATK skill is only 80% modifier, it'll hit for around ~12k x3 (unbuffed) and the weaken makes it useful for when your other squad mates hit the "weakened" ones.

a fun squad for me to run (if I had this L) would be in W formation:

S&B-Mord-Canis-Blue-Daddy


The thing that I dislike the most about this new L is the fact that the art for him is a badass ninja, yet his AGI is only 10k? wtf is up with that? Ninja's aren't slow, DUH!!!  

Very disappointed that Dakota released this Lethal straight after the Bionic Birdkeeper. I suppose they are following the same trend as with the 3 recently release "HP restore lethals". Will Bionic Birdkeeper v3 have a 70% damage reduction shield and some other attack combo skill?

It takes a serious time & resources commitment to secure a lethal and some sort of exclusivity would be expected for its unique abilities (at least for a few months) so the following week release of, pretty much, the exact same thing does make me wonder why I pushed so hard to secure a Bionic Birdkeeper. I loved the sound of the 50% damage reduction skill until part-way into the PvP event I realised that there was only a 40% chance of it happening and that there wasn't a proc chance at the beginning of the battle.

This Slice & Blast lethal suffers from the same massive problem as the Birdkeeper though...a shockingly low agility. I still don't understand why the Protective Bubble skill does not proc at the beginning of battle like a lot of the other stat modifying buffs....so the Birdkeeper/Slice&Blast have to survive 5 attacks in order to have a 40% chance to proc. Neither of them have particular good def either which doesn't help survivability.

It's not a pre-battle proc? Oh, well shit, that changes my entire opinion then...wtf!!!

Raven - yep...not impressed. But I was thinking about something like the setup you suggested above. mord & blue should help with the Birdkeeper's survivability until a 40% kicks in and the blue will boost it's feeble agi. But depending on 2 procs to keep a lethal alive before it can "do its dance" probably will be a stretch too far when the next PvP comes along. Would have liked to try out a viable attack squad then but I've a strong feeling I'll still be rolling with my blue/black bots and canis...maybe have the birdkeeper coming out of reserves to see if the 40% kicks in then ;-)

If you have to keep a lethal alove just in the hopes it procs that lethal is the suck

I think I'm going to be running helio-mordeo-birdkeeper-mordeo-odin next pvp event. I haven't quite decided for sure, as blue bot and frozen golem make strong claims to be on a team like that too, but for right now I'm running that, in V formation.

I would def put a golem over mordeo

And yeah with my new additions my pvp squad will be better.... blue-d&j-golem-incin-black Maybe lol i have a lot of choices now

One of those options is giving me everything for the good of the game.  

^^ you should take that comedy on the road man lol

In all seriousness anything i do trade from now on can't be free. I've been cutting my own throat.

Don't actually have anything for trade right this seconds unless i grab blues later. And then if i have enough i would trade you one. Got others i need to hook up forst cause they have zero blue bots. You at least have 1

Black isn't usually effective in PVP. If the blue doesn't proc, he be dead.

Yea, true. I'm a lucky guy for once, getting a free CXB-2000U.
Still don't really know what to do, I have my CXB-2000U, about 16 Buzzards ( half of them are already lvl 70 ) but don't have the crystals for them.
Also still looking for 2 OPE Big Rig v2. Got Keymaster v1's lying around too.

I used to laugh when I was running Siren-Siren-Black-Black-Blue.

I was either unstoppable, or could't do anything. So I traded that team up for lethals, and things are so much better now.

Yeah i won't run the black for pvp was just putting it down. Hell i'd rather run na'lac in pvp

When it comes to pvp buffs+double action mercs = winning. With how bad proc rates are it only makes sence to try and win from buffed auto attacks.

^^thats what i like about golem and d&j... Quick double killers lol

This Sucks...Why would I waste ammo on a discovery with <50% hp?
On the other hand, I guess it saves res by forcing me into regen time...
