I had an idea that would make trials a lot easier, specifically the respec trials. Spawns for the hero (and I would assume villain) respec trial are based on the level of the higest player. And anyone over the maximum level (33 for the first one against the sky raiders heroside) is automatically exemplared down to lvl 33. Even if you exemplar a higher level player yourself before you start the trial, say to level 25, the spawns will still show up at level 33. Instead of doing it this way, why not let people exemplar down and have the spawns spawn lower level. For example, a group of 3 level 25 and one level 45 players wants to run the first respec trial heroside against the sky raiders. The lvl 45 will be autoexemped to lvl 33 and the spawns will be lvl 34-35, it will be esentially impossible for the group to succeed. If it were changed, the lvl 35 could be exemplared down to lvl 24 and the spawns would be level 25-26, much more feasible.

Now admitedly, I'm not a computer programmer, but it seems to me like this wouldn't be too hard to code up. Just have whatever code handles auto-exemplaring now check to see if any characters are already exemplared to a level that falls in the correct level range for that particular trial and lock them at that level rather than at level 33 or 43 like it normally would.

I can understand why a lot of people are against this, but I kind of like the idea. I made some really bad choices on my current character before I got a real handle on the powersets and I really want to respec now. I only have an hour or so to play on weeknights and maybe 2-3 on each weekend, and I play on guardian (one of the least populous servers I think). It can be really tough to find a group that can make it through the respec trial. And I don't have anywhere near enough influence to buy a respec recipe. I'll probably try the trial a couple more times, but if I keep failing it, I'll probably seriously consider this.

Thank you very much for this excellent guide. Having just come back to the game after not playing since I6, the IO thing kinda confused me, I'm much less confused now.

Does anyone know of a good fire/regen guide?

After looking for a supergroup for awhile and not finding one, I just decided to start my own. The only requirement for membership is that you have some kind of fire-based power. Other than that anything goes.

I don't want to impose a lot of strict rules on anyone. I just want this to be a group where people can have fun and find friends to team with.

I'm usually on between 7 and 10 P.M. mon-thurs, and anytime fri-sun. I'm a somewhat casual player, so I'm not on all the time.

If you've ever wanted to help build a supergroup from the ground up this is your chance. send me a private message or send tells to Firespray, Lady Morphine, or Dusk Stalker in-game.

Thanks.
