Eegh, nooo. I'd happily reset him to level 1, if, for instance, that were the tradeoff for reselecting his power sets (the classic "oh no a meteor - ... hey, why am I suddenly invulnerable but unable to blast?" scenario), but actually deleting him and starting over? I'd lose all his history. Badges, story arc souvenirs, time-sensitive stuff. That sort of thing has little gameplay impact, but it's important to me as a player. Call me sentimental.

Congratulations on your first 50.

When I my first 50 dinged he immediately died because I stopped paying attention for a sec. That was after 15 months of play time and only because I forbid myself to play any other character till I at least had one 50.

I'm now at 36 months and still have only one level 50 hero. I also got a level 50 villain because I wanted to try out the VEATS.

I'm not good at giving advice, can I interest you in a sarcastic comment?

Aha! I have it!



(As an aside, I can't believe that name wasn't taken.)

You might be surprised at all the good names that AREN'T take yet. People are just generally uncreative and keep using the same two dozen adjectives and nouns in various combinations.

If you haven't levelled up both your builds , you could always just start over w/ your secondary build . Also helps with that nagging feeling of " What if I had only chosen power x over power y ?". If both your builds are l50's then double grats.

Both your builds level at the same time. If you're level 50 and don't have your secondary build, levelling it up is just a matter of talking to a trainer 50 times in a row.

You don't have to be creative to come up with good names. I stole the last name of an Estonian World's Strongest Man champion and put almost zero thought into it, and I'm quite happy with it

Well of course you have the same amount of exp . But one can change builds drastically. You can lvl up your 2nd build to whatever level you want and way shy of 50.
*50 times in a row? Huh ?!-- Never mind. You're doing it wrong .

Eh, I don't have any great interest in the whole "multiple build" thing, really. In my book it's just another irritating complication in what used to be a nicely simple game. Besides, I expect that'd be akin to doing a respec, and sitting around fooling with the power selection and slot assignment screens for 50 levels sounds like less fun than just building his robot double and starting over.

That is brilliant. Love the bio description.

But I showed them, and nobody's laughing at me now!
