Resistance is Futile (Level 100 Locutus of Borg)

Posted: 03 April 2016 05:16 AM Hey Friends, After 3 weeks of focusing solely on Locutus and one other character, I’ve finally gotten the drone himself to Level 100. Brutal amounts of items needed to level him, but I feel accomplished having done so! Per interest, I wanted to make this thread and share the screenshots of him. If you have any specific questions about his leveling process/items or whatnot, feel free to ask. Stats: 1/5 Stars

Diplomacy: 624 + (156-306)

Security: 469 + (80-166)

Science: 244 + (121-273) Ship Stats: Accuracy: 1325, Evasion: 890, CritChance: 5, CritBonus: 100 Remaining 3 pieces of equipment will give:

1) Security 35 + (45-85)

2) Engineering 30 + (20-40)

3) Diplomacy 65

4) Command 65

5) Science 65 Resistance is and always has been futile! Image Attachments Signature ————————————-

Posted: 03 April 2016 05:24 AM OMG. This is insane! congrats! How about fusing him now?+ Profile

Posted: 03 April 2016 05:40 AM Well done Quinn! Very impressive for 1*! Profile

Posted: 03 April 2016 06:56 AM This is not impressive at all. It’s only 1/5* don’t waste our time. Just kidding. I don’t think I’ll ever have a level 100 5*. Good job. Signature http://www.divinemercy.com/ Profile

Posted: 03 April 2016 07:23 AM Grats Quin, nice! Profile

Posted: 03 April 2016 07:45 AM Awesome! Congrats on getting him up there! I have to admit though… I still think it is funny that a Borg (essentially) has diplomacy for a primary skill. Signature It’s what I do.

I drink… and I know things. Profile

Posted: 03 April 2016 08:40 AM Too funny seeing him alongside your level 100 bartender and chef. Serious props, congrats! Profile

FORGET IT! Resistance IS futile Profile

Posted: 03 April 2016 09:08 AM I know I am going to come off as a jerk here, but that is really not my intention. So I apologize in advance. But playing games is not an accomplishment - it’s entertainment. Does anyone feel a sense of accomplishment after watching a movie? I only bring this up because I feel there are so many people who get caught up in this way of thinking and it can be detrimental. It keeps us playing these games that are based on RNG instead of effort, skill, or time played. If you want a sense of accomplishment put your effort into something more tangible and worthwhile - get a 2nd college degree, run a marathon, volunteer for a cause you’re in to. Something like that. But to try and derive satisfaction or accomplishment from a pastime that exists for entertainment/relaxation purposes is problematic at best. Again, I am not trying to troll or get people crazy, though I’m sure what I’m saying will get misconstrued that way. I just am just passionately against business models that create these scenarios that can manifest addiction in players. Profile

Posted: 03 April 2016 09:10 AM Oh Quinn, you assimilate us all with your charm and dedication! Congrats on (by far) the toughest 100 I’ve seen. Profile

Posted: 03 April 2016 10:17 AM Very impressive. How many 100s do you have now? Signature Althea Biermont

Hey Mate, Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, so you’re welcome to yours I think though you might be adverse then to most/almost all modern games and games going forward as almost all of them are built on the concept of “Acheivements” and “Accomplishments”, designed specifically to hit what you’re referring to. Games made a major shift in the late 90s from entertainment to attempting to be something more (not saying if a good or bad thing lol) but as an example ESports Gaming is a multi billion dollar market with crazy growth, as are places like Twitch where people watch others competitively playing games (even single player games). Funny you mention watching a movie, did you know now that Netflix realized the massive growth potential of “Acheivements” and now you earn Acheivements on Netflix based off the content or quantity you watch? :p I think entertainment and accomplishments being together are not a bad thing. I know many whom would say completing a game you enjoy and requires skill/commitment is greater than running a marathon as an example. Who knows, and we can all have our own opinions. If you’re against business models like that, more power to you good sir So whatever floats your boat, excellent and props, but don’t try and sink mine as they say as ultimately we all have different tastes, opinions, backgrounds, and feelings.

Posted: 03 April 2016 01:36 PM And thanks all! @Centurion: Next up is Mirror Spock ETA 1-2 days. Then I think I’m done with golds leveling TBH. I don’t have any fused Golds really, so not worth this much effort when fused Purples would have way better stats usually. Any suggestions for who to do next? @ Althea: I have 3 level 100s, one more on the way. Locutus & Spock required my undivided focus so haven’t worked on leveling up anyone else in weeks. Gotta love the weird combo of 100s: Locutus, Quark, and Neelix. Something tells me only one person would walk out that shuttle. Signature ————————————-

Posted: 03 April 2016 02:02 PM Cool. But am I the only one who thinks it’s funny that Locutus’s chief skill is as a diplomat? I mean, “Resistance is futile” isn’t exactly what I think of as diplomacy. I guess it is by Borg standards. Profile
