buckle in, the OCD ride is about to begin!
so, i wanted to test the Automations.
i wanted to know what the base ones looked like, i wanted to know what the different metal made ones looked like and i wanted to play with them!
so, TC finally was able to accept character copies from Origin today so i sent over a bunch of supplies.
i had collected 30 of the Kotl arties and 10 statis chamber power cores along with 10 automaton heads.
so i loaded them onto my tinker and copied over to TC.
then i got onto another account, loaded the stuff on, copied over to TC.
then i got onto another account, loaded the stuff on, copied over to TC.
then i..... well you get the idea.
i moved a LOT of supplies for making the Automations over to TC so i could make a lot of these new Tinker friendly bots.
so after going and getting the recipe and turning in my Kotl stuff for Automation Actuator's i ran over to the stable and started up the factory.
i made 10 Iron Automations.
then i made 1 of each differnt colored ore.
then i went back and made another 10 Iron ones.
then i went and made a bunch of Valorite ones.
all said i was up around 50 of them when i was done my test.
interesting results.
im not sure where i should post all the results in HP/str and resists and such as they are not tamer pets so the tamer forum probably wouldn't want them.... maybe the Craftsman forum?
ill not bore you all with the numbers, ill find somewhere to post them for people who may want to know.
but, the differences in the different ore type ones was easy to see in both the resists and the damage output areas.
the Valorite ones are nice because they get a nice boost to the resists but the downside is the damage is spread over all the different resistances.
so your doing phy 40, fire 10, cold 20, nox 10, energy 20 to anything you fight which is not bad i guess.
also, when you make them they are nice and high up in skills already.
like over 100 sometimes in wrestling and the M/R is usually in the mid 120's.
so the Automations, what are the good for.
well, i took a Valorite one out into Ilsh for a walk and i rolled through the Juka spawn like a hot knife through butter.
Juka Lords, 2 hit kills.
mages and warriors the same.
the dragon elite guys went down no problem.
only a little damage done to the Automation which fixing with the new repair only tink kit was a breeze.
i could only imagine how much fun these would have been years ago when i was out mining all the time as a bodyguard!
i then decided to go hard core and took my new pet to Destard to see how he would fare against bigger critters.
he was able to drop drakes and wyverns with no hassle.
Dragons he killed with a little healing from me.
greater dragon..... killed him - BUT i did get the GD down half way!
i just could not keep up on the heals.
so the damaged head went into my pack, i scampered off to the bank, got 75 Valorite ore out of the bank, resurrected my Automation and went back and finished off the GD!
took me another res and some strategic running and hiding but i got that bugger!
so what else did i notice.
the healing is just like vet or band aid healing people.
the timer is different though.
with veterinary and having 20 dex you heal your pet at 2 seconds.
with tinker i have 50 dex and i was healing at 5 seconds.
my next test will be to change my dex around and see if that changes the time much.
also, the Automations that spawn in the Kotl place, their arms are the color of the ore they are and once they 'wake up' and their arms start to spin they all look like iron.
the ones you make their arms remain the color of the ore you make them with.
so thats neat!
all in all i think the new pets are pretty damn neat!
im gonna be making one for sure for my main mule for those days i need to go get some granite or some ore or what have you.
some pics!
the heads when constructed are the color of the ore you used to make them.
i should have changed his name to Ginsu!
