Actually... I don't like talking shop or getting into other peoples' business, but seriously whoever is currently maintaining the forums seems to be doing a pretty darn poor job. And I'm saying as a customer of Paragon Studios, about one of their contractors.

It's really past time to start looking for other options. If someone else thinks they can do this job, let them have the opportunity. Please.

I didn't want to suggest that the OP send in a bug report, since his friend wants to play, but I assume it is a bug, and might be fixed at some point. Hence my reply "not normally."

If your friend wants to play is Kheld for free, he has to be prepared to pay to unlock it, even if it's currently buggy and unlocked when it shouldn't. Just sayin: don't be surprised if this changes. Your friend should be made aware of the possibility.

No, not normally. Or at least only if you have to have enough time on your account to unlock it permanently. Or buy the unlock at the store.

So unless your friends wants to pay for the unlock, I don't think he should invest a lot of energy into epics. Unless he really likes them, then just get the unlock, or stick to VIP.

Or tell them to stop being cheap and pony up a few Abes for the game if they enjoy it. Salvage and market solve the inf problem.

(Or I assume they do. It's honestly been a while since I've tried to level a toon with just the resources it generates. But drops do sell decently even at low levels.)

I read that initially as Mary Kate and Anarchy Online.



I think my idea is better.

I just SO'd a level bumped toon on Beta, a Titan Weapon / Willpower scrapper. I emailed him 5 million and it cost me almost exactly that much to buy a complete set of SO's from the Quartermaster in RWZ.

This is what I did with a new toon on Exalted.

1. Run DFB starting from level 1. Pick Fly ASAP at level 4. Fly to Steel Canyon and sell SOs to the store that matches your origin. (I actually used the rocket board.)

2. Now while standing in store, just enter the queue for DFB. When you exit the DFB, you'll be back at the store and can sell immediately.

3. Keep doing that until level 15 or so. By then, it's worth it to start slotting the Enhc you can use. They're good SOs, and it's cheaper than buying.

4. By level 17 I had half of a dozen SO Enhc slotted and 150k in the kitty.

Crab would work. They have just short of tank defenses, ranged attacks, melee attacks, team buffs and pets. Yes they're spider pets, but they're pets. Widow is pretty much the same except you don't get a pet, and you have Psy/claws in stead of gun/mace.

Corr or defenders. (Maybe Peace Bringer, but I don't play one.) Corrs more damage focused, defenders more team buff focused. Also, Illusion controller might work here.


Scapper, or maybe brute. Super reflexes, Willpower, invulnerability. Or look at Energy Aura if you want a stealthier character. Stalker or tank might also work. For offense, look at Street Justice or Dual Blades, both are fairly fast, agile sets.

Stalker? Look at some pool powers for "utility." Like Recall Friend and Grant Invis to stealth a mission. The Medicine Pool might make you feel more broadly useful, could pair with more classes with it. Presence maybe, the fear might be useful, and Rogue-ish.


Support = corr, defender or controller (generally). Masterminds and doms too.
Melee = Tanker, scrapper, window, brute. Maybe stalker, although it has the weakest defenses.
Ranged = Blaster, Corr, Defender, Dom, Controller, Widow, Crab, PB/WS.
