Well the hardest would be Dark/Ninjitsu.
The funnest IMO would be Ice/Fire Troller primaries with both pets unlocked.

That was a very good farming guide! It covered all of the basics very clearly, and stressed good etiquette. Very nicely done.

Do you REALLY think that the devs have no clue about farming? It's a well known legitimate way of playing high-level characters. It is somewhat frowned upon, at least as far as PLing is concerned, but 'normal' farming such as wall farming and NON pl farming is strongly, if not actively, encouraged.

Do you REALLY think that the devs expect you to be able to assemble a full set of purples (or the wherewithal to afford them) just running normal content? 'farming' is simply an efficient way of grinding, and one that requires specialized builds and/or archetypes.

I think you're a little delusional if you think in any way the devs "encourage" people to farm. The devs want people to play the game. They want people to enjoy the content. That's it. They've stated several times that they'd like people to play a variety of content. If they encouraged people to play the same missions over and over again, they wouldn't have put in the mechanism for diminishing returns when running task forces. They also wouldn't have put in the code where spawns are calculated for team size as you approach them, necessitating the need for mapping the mission out before fillers leave.

I fully believe the devs see the farming and leave it at that, but that given their preferences, people would be playing the game for the content, rather than grinding it for the rewards.

Actually the DEVs want you to do whatever you like that keeps your $15 dollars (more if you have multi accounts) a month rolling in.

Also they want you to be hyped about Champions Online.

I have a suggestion or two for flashback builds

Since the devs are awesome and smart they gave us a second build.

What I suggest doing is taking all your primary and secondary powers (except the really really useless ones) so even that tier one attack folks. This will make the AT only challenges a cakewalk. Also take powers that are important (like travel and any mitigation including defense) as early as they are available. This will make the lower levels that much easier and faster.

Honestly all the vet badges show to me is how old your computer is. If you are near 60 month then seriously find a new game.
There are far too many good games in this world to spend 5 years playing the same one. Especially one that hasn't aged that well.

I love this game don't get me wrong, but it's not good enough to be played (i.e. paid for) 5 years straight.

Thanks for the feedback all, upon second look of my own creations I can indeed see how I could have layered things more with an additional color. I rely too much on costume pieces when I don't layer colors more.

As for the creative comment that really is a nice thing to say and I appreciate it. I feel that since I don't really partake in role playing my only creative outlet is my costume design. I like to stand out from the crowd while not looking ridiculous.

The first costume that many of you like has won 12 costume contests at this point. So you guys have good taste :P

I would like some honest opinions on my style and costume choices made. I am looking to expand my mind a bit with some positive constructive feedback.

Here is a pic of 5 of them from various servers and blue/red side for your review:

The funny thing that people forget is, when did you have to pay for an expansion on this game and no I don't mean your monthly fees, I mean having to buy another game? Heroes and Villains were standalone. WOW can't say that.

That's what I thought.

A lot of frugal people in this thread. Personally the time it takes to make the money or farm for drops is far more valuable to me than $10. So whether I need to respec or not is based on my ability to build my character well, however to say it's stupid or you have a bajillion of them already from 430 vet rewards for playing no other game in your life more power to you. But some of us have more than one game in our collection to play and don't want to have to spend hours doing something to get something we want. Some people by the way need respecs because of PVP perfecting of toons. Since most of you people aren't good enough to play in PVP zones then of course you can't see how the freespecs, vetspecs, and trial specs could run out.

What time on Friday does it start because I am off of work?
Is it like 6 am or 1201 am?
