Back to Basics

I've gone full completist personally. Every five levels, turn off xp until all content for that level range is completed.

Lets just say, I got to spend a lot of time with Peacemoon.

Example, 5-9 I did all the contact story arcs and missions until they all had max rep, then did all the hollow arcs until they said I needed to be level 10. I also did the paper missions and a bank mission plus got all the exploration badges for the low level zones.

Personally I found this very fun, almost like a Loremaster route

Should be more hardcore and not get any badges. Those were added after launch too and should probably penalize himself for any XP he gets from badges by accident. Oh and don't forget to work off all that patrol XP at some point. Should be uber hardcore and stop at level 40 as well, no PI or level 50 back in the day if you remember! No going to the Hollows or Croatoa and the aforementioned revamped Faultline or Cimerora either.

Delete folks off your global friends list too. You should stick to "old school" slotting as well, IE: 1 acc and 5 damage in your attacks, GO! This is excusable for any attacked tweaked to knockdown where you can slot a knockback enh to make it more annoying. Shoot, we also got an XP tweak and the curve was flattened out a bit so you're going to have to look up old XP tables and do some math to penalize yourself properly especially if you don't go hardcore enough to stop at 40.

Goes without saying that the tweaked Greenlines and such are off limits. I don't know how many hero side cape and respec missions you have to do to equal their old difficulty... ahh one shotting tanks with rikti swords in the cape mission, how I don't miss you. Oops that's another, one shot code, you have to kill yourself anytime it saves you. No PVP, not even arena! Be careful how you make your toon, lots of changes to the costume editor too, and none of those fancy propagated power sets or anything new! Hell, no CoV at all duh!

What is your problem? The OP states that he is having fun playing without the crutches and you go overboard? You missed the point of the thread entirely. Ever heard of "if you can't say anything nice..." I realize I am breaking that rule to call you on this, but don't be such a clod.

to the OP: I agree, I prided myself on being able to run the gulch in the Hollows at lvl 8. Playing without the teleporters, and all the temp powers is a fun challenge.

Sorry but Hollows didn't exist at launch, PRIDE DENIED!

Here's a " " and a " " for you too, don't BWAAH on me.

Finally got them precious SOs! Had a faultline mission and had to do a Global Help cause I couldn't find the door. I had no idea that Faultline was revamped to that level of underground passages beneath the blue wall. Met a few running mates who are doing the same thing I am, I am soo tempted though to get a travel power. The travel times are starting to feel a lil WoW'ish at times.

Ahhhh humor,
hmmm ok
Hah
You are a master of wit

Ok that was just obnoxious of me.

In the old days there were taxi bots.
but they mostly did the Hollows and Steel, I never saw any in Faultline.
