We agree that "to each their own" is a style of play for this game?
Well, last few times I wanted to actually play through the content offered in this game at this point, I just dual boxed the content... and not really how that sounds.
I log on a 50 with recall friend... and eliminate the travel time in the low levels... Nothing makes me feel LESS super than being slow as hell. Just because I am a low level super hero doesnt mean both of my legs are submerged in mud.
So, simply by removing the slow-butt travel I shave ALOT of time off the leveling pace. (I DO NOT have the 50 play the content thoe, unless is a badge mission)
Also, I tend to team alot, and my teams dont usually mind getting ported to all the missions for times sake.
Still, I have to hand to you internet, you have suckered me in again... -

Takes me under 3 hours to play through those levels solo... 3 hours. -
I don't suggest I know the AT by 14. But by 14 I do get the sense this isn't a casual AT, is what I am saying.
-
I haven't had access to the Kheldians for very long, but for me they are really hard to "pick up". I don't plan to abandon them, I really like both characters, but while both sit at 14, I get the impression that they are going to take a dedication and focus that some of the other ATs do not require.
So you will see my Khelds running around at some point, but not until I really have the time to make them worth playing. And that can't be an entirely unique sentiment. -
I only got my Crab in November and it is easily my most fun character to play. It took me around a year to get a fire/kin and a bots/poison each to 50, and at the beginning of February my crab is 48.
The only thing I've really noticed, is that this is the first toon that I use all my respecs. I'm going for decent recharge/ranged def/endurance with all the pets and it is crazy crazy tight. Quite monstrous though. -

No, it's not. Here's what happens when you're leveling a VEAT starting from level 1:
Levels 1-23: pick the main powers (no branch available)
Level 24: forced respec upon training up, starting over from level 1 - during this respec you are able to start selecting powers from the branches
Levels 25-50: train up as normal, picking either powers from the main pool or the branch you chose
And here's what happens when you respec a VEAT that's higher than level 24:
Levels 1-23: pick the main powers (no branch available)
Level 24: forced respec upon training up, starting over from level 1 - during this respec you are able to start selecting powers from the branches
Levels 25-50: train up as normal, picking either powers from the main pool or the branch you chose
Point: the respec system, as well as the dual build system, treats your character exactly like it were a native level 1 once you begin the respec. When you're doing a respec (or a second build) on a VEAT, you must level to 24 once and then essentially do a respec-within-a-respec. I wish it didn't work that way and it's hella annoying, but it's probably how the respec code is written and the odds of it changing are extremely unlikely.
and the above didn't happen. It was like a regular respec. Once I chose crab armor upgrade, the bane tree went bye bye.
I don't know if that is how it is supposed to work (this is my first veat), but that is what happened with me. -
I've been slowly but surely working on a lvl 16 Dark/Storm corrupter and I solo at least 90% of the time. Subsequently, by the time I hit my teens, I was not surviving many encounters due to my low damage, and what damage I did have was damage over time.
Basically out of desperation I picked up the snipe and my survivability has really improved. Since I can now get the first guy in the mob just about to half in one shot, Scourge kicks in SO much faster than it used to, and I can lock down and DOT the other two with a little bit of wiggle room.
I don't know if I will eventually spec out of it, or if it will stay around as part of my solo strategy, but snipes are a shortcut to Scourging if you are lacking for damage. -
looking at the wiki, does Shatter Armor not take any sets? I'm trying to find something kind of useful on the way to the epic pet.
-
I think late game red side is much much better, but it took me about a year to figure that out. I was initially disappointed that you didn't get to be evil and getting around was drab tedium compared to the silver age wonderment of Atlas Park.
However, since I got the hang of redside, I find blueside to be full of poorly executed early content, endless delivery missions, and story arcs that never seem to start.
So I will take a couple of my early heroes who stalled around 30 to at least visit the Rogue Isles, if not set up shop there. -

Bromley, I'm trying really hard not to unload the dumptruck of sarcasm here.

Edit - I've been bothered by the cries of "gold farmer" and I just checked on something.
Fir Bolg, Winter Horde and Redcaps only drop Arcane salvage. Of course there is a shortage of Tech salvage. Make some cash! -
This thing that has really bothered me about this lately, is that I've been playing mostly on one character, and get to the point of having full recipe inventory with one common salvage missing for each. So I either have to delete/vender them or stop playing.
These 'gold farmers' aren't just flipping crap for money, they are negatively impacting the playability of the game.
In fact this is the exact reason I'm not playing right now. -
Yeah, in 36 levels of solo crabbing, I've been mezzed exactly once (confused for about 4 seconds), and I don't have the wolf armor. I am however impressed with how much knockback I get, but being relatively poor I have yet to win an auction on one of those uniques so far.
But I don't even have a travel power and I am finding this crab build to be the first time I don't have any power picks to spare. None. I don't think I'll even get to see what Omega Maneuver looks like. -
I've soloed my Crab to 32 and it has been the quickest 32 levels I've ever done. Maybe it just fits my playstyle, I don't know.
I've soloed several EBs and sometimes it takes more than one try, although for the most part, if I fail on the first attempt all I need is to use the Loa Bone and a couple purples and I'm golden. -

Just adding in my unwanted .2 cents...
I've had my two kheldians for a few months now, and they are at 11 and 12 respectively. I really want to like them, but I am almost exclusively a solo player and the number of times my PB has died is probably some sort of record. The few times I have teamed with them they feel like different ATs, but I just don't really like teaming very much. I hope to slog through to a point where I actually understand how to play them properly, but I believe it will be slow going.
I only got my first red side 50 late last week. My soldier, as of today, is 22 and that is completely solo. I have never had a toon level so fast. An absolute joy to play, my only criticism is that I am locked out of spider armor pieces on my other costume slots. That is a crazy decision someone made, and I wish they would change it.
However, I am looking forward to the crab legs, so what do I know? -
I am a cowboy...

Haven't they already said flat out that you CAN switch sides on VEATS and HEATS? I don't know why people are still debating this. Why are you still debating it?
-
I'm far from an expert, but I have one that I've soloed to 29 and it's been a blast. I remember thinking at one point that I actually felt like a supervillian with all the tossing in the air, head clutching and knockback.
The first time I teamed with a couple people somewhere in my teens, one of them commented, "How is the Dom tanking?"
Typically solo, against 3 NPCs I confuse the first, dominate the second, and blast the third to pieces. Then clean up.
Others, I'm sure, can give you more specifics and numbers, but just from my experience it is one of the most fun combos I've played in this game. -
hello. I have a question.
if one has a Commanding Presence: Taunt/Placate Resist as well as leadership's Assault, do the taunt/placate resists stack or is a bit pointless to have both?
Thanks -
I'm not a badger, and I've only been playing for about 9 months, which is enough to get a sense of badges and that they are useful in getting accolades with additional powers and whatnot, and sometimes just the badge title for whatever reason.
It seems to me like if we equate the old requirements to, say, taxes, then people are complaining about their taxes going down. Yeah, you paid your taxes last year, but then you got to use the stop signs and schools those paid for all this while. Now they have lowered taxes but you are feeling slighted because people turning 18 now have to pay less taxes than you did and they get all your stop signs. That doesn't change that taxes have gone down and you have everything you had yesterday.
You are all republicans and I claim my five pounds. -
To be honest, and it's only because it was asked, but reading the Rude Tells thread I simply don't believe those are actual chat logs. To me they read as manufactured for the forums, but maybe I'm not the only one.

my first respec on my first character, a fire/regen scrapper, which I got around to after a few months in the game revealed two slots each in sprint and rest and three slots in brawl. Good times.
