Speed Levelling Team - Monday 25 June


Accel

 

Posted

Hello everyone.

A few months ago, there was a thread on these boards on the subject of powerlevelling (no really!? Yes, really!) along with its inherent pros and cons. This is not an attempt to reignite that debate (and I think ‘ignite’ would be the appropriate word in that context as well).

To cut a long story short, I do not wish to powerlevel but I do have a new alt which I would like to get through the early levels fast. My solution, as I suggested back then, is to get another seven people in the same situation and form an eight-man team and plough through levels in one evening. With a good team, I think we should all be into our teens without too much effort in one session.

“But Dante, why not just get a PuG together?” you may ask. A good question, but you all know what the quality of some PuGs are like. I’d like to try and get a team together of like minded people who want to get a kickstart on their new alt without enduring the hell that is some PuGs these days. I’m proposing to try this out next Monday 25th June from 6:30pm to 10pm. I’m flexible to different dates if that doesn’t work for some people but the times are unlikely to change.

The format will likely be:

1) Tutorial – I want my ‘Isolator’ badge!

2-5) Atlas missions and street cleaning.

5-10) Kings Row radio missions and Safeguards.

10-15) Steel Canyon radio missions and Safeguards.

15-20) Faultine radio missions and Safeguards.

If you think this could work and if you are interested, please sign up below.


P.S. If anyone has any tips for maximising XP for this event, please feel free to contribute.

P.P.S. I really, really don’t want a big debate about powerlevelling if I can help it. Thank you.

Try running missions on unyielding, greater mob sizes, might increase the leveling rate.

Though you probably already know

Also once done 1 faultline safe guard mish .. Do the Faultline mishs as they always contain AV's which means even more Xp

2-5 should be sewers, you can plough through there and gain xp from all the mobs inside

Everyone forgets the sewers

Count me in Dante. I will re-roll my Grav/Empath and probably change to my Rad/Archery on lvl 8. Just for showing that certain person how the PL is done.

And on the bonus side, teaming with you one more time will be a joy and honor for me.

Monday is fine for me. But keep in mind that traveling between missions in Kings without travel power very time consuming.

One good chance for xp is Frostfire if you ask me.

Sometime after ten you probably want to do missions for one of Dr. Trevor Seaborn, Hugo Redding and Haley Philips. To find a Spelunker badge after you outlevel the contact can take longer that you thought.

Thank you everyone for the replies. I had forgotten about the sewers so that's a great idea. And yes, there will be some badges along the way that it would be good to get hold of, the Spelunker being one of them. I see a diversion between 10 and 14 to get it.

Hopefully, once we have done the Safeguard in Kings, we will have a temp travel power that will help ease the pain.
I'm completely open to suggestions, if people want to do the Hollows, that's fine and something we can always look into once we're over level 5.

Oh and I forgot to mention that I do not mind what AT or powersets people choose to do this. I will be going Dark/Dark Defender myself.

I would like to join with my rad/sonic defender (lvl2) or my earth/rad troller (lvl3 iirc), however I'd rather not to go for Isolator Badge and join you once you exit Tutorial if possible.-

For leveling in the Hollows; it contains good XP but travelling and waiting for team members etc. makes leveling progress very slow.

Beloved of Apollo is few missions before the Frostie. If everyone wants to do that mission i can get Forstie and wait for Monday.

And one more thing about the team. I think it is better if this one will be a well balanced team. If you keep damage short (As far as i can see we have 3 def or 2 con/1 def (and probably most of the defenders will have 2 attacks at best because of rad and dark are early blooming sets and have so many must have powers)) your fast leveling plan will get a big blow. I can make one of my "so-long-wanted-to-make-but-didnt-find-time" builds which are a Son/Nrg blaster or Dark-MA-BS/Regen scrapper. As i said i am not into it for PL, just for support you and your idea. So just tell me what you need and i will roll it on Monday nite.

Okay here's what i love to do most. A list.

Current line up is as the following;

1- Dante: Dark/Dark Defender
2- Nightmarer: Rad/Son Defender
3- Knightly: MA/Inv Scrapper
4- Curelean: Ill/Rad Controller
5- louisoj: Ice/EM Tanker
6- Swindler: MA/SR Scrapper

We have two places open. I hope some Blasters will join us.

Oh god, Monday seems sooooo far away.

Thanks for the list Knightly.

In response to team composition, I'm not all that bothered. I know that if we really wanted to plough through levels we'd all roll Fire/Rads or Fire/Kins. But this is more about getting a team of people together with the same goal much like you would for a Task Force. But yes, a little more damage would be a good thing.

I figure getting the Isolator badge on a team will take half the time it would solo but if people don't want it, I'm happy to log in early and get it then meet everyone later. I guess I just know how hard it is to get that badge later on.

By the way my character, 'The Mech Maniac' is an Illusion/forcefield controller who is currently waiting in the tutorial zone for the 25th June.

Indeed! Lets have it on friday instead

Ouch, I can't on Friday, I have signed for TF's for the rest of the week. Actually I was interested in this mainly because it was Monday (besides of being a great idea)

I will help you get Isolater. It don't take that much long to be honest.

But one thing i have to admit; i can't wait for launching out that MA/Inv Scrapper. Maybe i will give it a go tonight. So in short don't be suprised if you see another toon instead of a scrapper in Monday evening, like a Sonic/Dev blaster.

Coolest, thx

Btw, I'll be reconverting my rad/sonic defender into a fire/dark corruptor, so I'll join the team with my lvl3 (maybe 4, not sure) earth/rad troller, Agent Magnum (and yes, at lvl 32 my pet will be called Higgins )

I may be there with a caracter called First Boy Scout. but i cant promise so try to fill up with out me ok?
Btw i think that a good speed level thing wut be 8 Fire tanks

I'm afraid that Monday will be the earliest I can do this so I'm glad we're all still onboard for that. I am chomping at the bit to get started though so I can certainly reciprocate the impatience! Don't worry, it will come round soon enough.

My plan will be to meet at the entrance to the small garden right of where the starting point is in Outbreak. I will be there from 6:15 on Monday so that anyone who wants the Isolator badge can get it with me. If you don't want it, I expect we'll meet on the steps of Atlas Park at 6:30. My character will be a dark/dark defender with Dante in his name somewhere.

I think there's one or two spots left so feel free to join in. I wanted to give advance notice on this just in case it didn't prove popular. But with only one space left, I think we should do ok. If we have less than eight, I'll try and recruit another ingame.

Okay list time again;

1- Dante: Something Dante, Dark/Dark Defender
2- Nightmarer: Agent Magnum, Earth/Rad Controller
3- Knightly: Chatter-bug, Son/Dev Blaster
4- Cerulean: Unnamed, Ill/FF Controller
5- Louisoj: Travelling Crusader, Ice/Axe Tanker
6- Swindler: Another Unnamed one, MA/SR Scrapper
7- Cap.Darling: First Boy Scout, Katana/SR Scrapper
8- Waiting for last vacant spot.

Looks like a great team to me. Good for TFs too (If Cerulean get Recall Friend it will simply be the best one ). I am still not certain about name/insect theme, so name can be change but as i find a team like that i will give that blaster a go. But first i need to post my build and get some critics about it (I am a blaster n00b).
