Uuhg...I just started a new character. Somebody PL me to level 22
I may be one of the crazy ones, but for the most part I love the low game. I think the only thing I have problems with are the VERY low levels (the tutorials and Atlas/Galaxy/Mercy) and the fact that you seem to miss so much more often. I can usually find a way to mix it up to keep it from being too repetitive, though, and with my trying out Kheldians and SoAs, as well as recreating some of my older characters to give them some of the new Proliferations, I'm spending a lot of time in the 10-20 levels lately.
I don't have a problem with Rest, though. It's probably because I solo so much, but I don't really care if I have to pause a moment. I tend to become frustrated with the pace if a team continues to push on constantly without ever taking a moment to rest or chat. (Or take a bio break...)
I rolled a Peacebringer and an illusion/storms controller two weeks ago...

What a great pairing that is - so fun, just gets funner and funner until by late 40s your head's ready to asplode with all the fun.
I have a bunch of 50s and far and away I had the most fun leveling that Ill/Storm.
Highly recommended for anyone who hasn't yet put those two sets together.

Ill/Storm = my most favoritest hero EVAHR.

This brings up something I often think about..
Why would someone play a character that sucks at low levels? Is its high-level play seriously THAT MUCH more fun than a character isn't a painful exercise in self-hatred to get up there? Why would anyone want to subject themselves to a build that you hate for half the time that you play it? |
Having Vengeance and Fallout slotted for recharge means never having to say you're sorry.
Levels 1-22 aren't "Half the time you play" for any of my characters. Levels 1-22 are barely a memory and whatever happened then was absolutely worth getting through to make it to the higher levels and have even more fun.
A few years ago I used to agree with the "there's no endgame in CoX" sentiments I still seeing passed around.
Now, a few of my 50s now account for at least half of my playtime. The one I enjoy playing the most was almost deleted once in her teens and once in her 20s because she was so painful (a portion of that was due to the player more than the character).
I don't think we give the devs enough credit for continually coming up with new, fun ways to play our 50s without ruining the game for those players who retire their chracter at 50.
