Since I never played CoH before this, last week, I talked to the Fateweaver, and inadvertantly set my difficulty to the highest level. I mostly soloed from around 12-14 doing this with my Bots/Dark MM, and while it was tough, it was doable. I'd die 2-3 times usually on the purple bosses, but loading up with inspirations I could do it eventually.

When I finally figured out what the problem was, and changed back to the 2nd level, it was too easy, so right now I'm doing missions on the 3rd level. It's a challenge, but not impossible, and I'm up to lvl 20 3/4 now.

This was all before the fix but I logged on for a while this morning and did one mission, against Freakshows. The orange tanks would eventually run up, hit one of my battle drones and take it down to about 1/3 life, but then I'd be able to fire off twilight grasp for 103 healing and get it most of the way back up.

So, if a n00b (to CoV, not MMORPGs) can do missions on the highest difficulty, you'd have a hard time saying the MM is the weakest AT.

If you want a pet control challenge, trying playing a shadow knight in EQ where your only pet controls are "pet attack" and "pet back off" and there's no passive mode. I'm using the numeric keypad binds, and it's heaven, let me tell you.

For robots, we can have the ever popular "Exterminate!"

Going old-school, Stop the Humanoid, Get the Humanoid, The Humanoid must not escape.

Well, I reckon you're talking to me. I started playing EQ in Mar of 99 with the original release (I got the extra free month because of the screwed up launch). I've played EQ, DAoC, Earth & Beyond, SWG, EQII, and gone back to previous games quite a few times. In all those games I've never managed to get a character to max level. I never even got over lvl 50 in EQ until they raised the cap to 60 and you didn't have hours long waits in Lguk for a spot at an XP camp.

Anyway, definately not a power leveler, but the thing I enjoyed most in those games was crafting stuff. I finally quit EQ after figuring out that I would have to camp non-exp, practically non-loot mobs for about 200 hours to get all the items I needed to advance my smithing skill to 250 to have a chance at making some of the best items, which I couldn't get the ingredients to anyway, since I wasn't lvl 65 and in an Uber-guild.

I bought the CoV pre-order, but not until last weekend, so I only played the beta for a couple of days. Right now I'm using the 14 day CoH free trial and got up to lvl 4 in an hour or two this morning.
