Well, hmph.
I'm not really sure how I feel about this. After nearly four and a half years (not counting time off; in calendar time, more like five and a half) of dawdling along, taking a sort of perverse pride in the leisureliness of my pace, Captain Photon has at last reached the level cap. I can no longer chime into the inevitable "level wang" discussions noting that I've been playing for more than four years, don't have a 50, and feel just fine about that, because now I have one.
Oh well. I still don't have a level-capped villain, and it seems kind of doubtful at this point that I ever will, but who knows. Stranger things have happened. ![]() |
Now you need to roll a Warshade and go around asking about how you get to Kings Row.

Cool, congratulations
Grats Captain!
Took me about 3.5 years to get to 50 with Carni. Only reason I made it was a bunch of nice people from the forums (plus Cynic, he'd never forgive me for calling him nice) nabbed me in a PuG one Saturday night and then made me stay awake until I dinged in the Tyrant mish. Was loads of fun.
I know what you mean about feeling ambiguous about it, but a Warshade does make it worthwhile. In fact my WS is my only other 50, and I felt a lot sadder getting her to 50 because it was so much fun (especially once I got into the 20s).
I feel sorry for you Captain. I remember those good old days but now I must hunt purples and try to play those dreadful Kheldians. I wonder if it would not have been better never to have hit the big 50.
Welcome to the club of ex-vets without 50's society.
Congrats!
But still I fear and still I dare not laugh at the madman!

Congratulations are definitely in order. And look at it this way - despite starting before I did, you held out at least twice as long!

Gratz, Cap!
It took me a LONG time to get someone to 50 so I feel your ambivalence.
But it's actually quite freeing, like when a hippy cuts off their hair.
No longer is your identity defined by an arbitrary circumstance, you are liberated!

don't have a 50, still...
dinged 46 yesterday on my scrapper, meaning i went from 45 to 46 in 4 days of play time
bit scary
especially at being 46 w/247 hours of play time
my solo-fender, my original main, is still at 43 and had over 400 hours of play time before dinging 40
with this crazy xp rate i should have 2 50s by christmas, assuming i don't take anymore breaks

They all laughed at me when I said I wanted to be a comedian.
But I showed them, and nobody's laughing at me now!

Gratz. Never worry about how long it took to get to 50. I was in almost 2 and a half years before I hit mine. It was never about the destination, it was the journey...

First character I hit 50 with was a Scrapper back in January of 2005, with around 750 hours of playtime. First villain I hit 50 with was at some point in 2007, again with around 750 hours played on him. I really don't regret much of that time.

If I make it to 50 with less than 300 hours, then yes, I think that's too quick.
