There are no words for what this community, and the friends I have made here mean to me. Please know that I care for all of you, yes, even you. If you Twitter, I'm MrThan. If you're Unleashed, I'm dumps. I'll try and get registered on the Titan Forums as well. Peace, and thanks for the best nine years anyone could ever ask for.

Of course, I'm constantly coming up with new character concepts, costume ideas, or power combinations to try out. And getting my gf hooked on the game doesnt hurt the enjoyment

I cant believe I havent unlocked one after 4 years... my highest recently went from 44 to 47, and I got bored again and started yet another new guy. (4 full servers and counting)


what does one have to do to unlock these archtypes? also is there a limit to how many of them you can have on one server/account?

Unlock the hero epics with a level 50 hero, covers all servers, unlimited amount*. Unlock the villain epics with a level 50 villain, covers all servers, unlimited amount*.

If you only have one level 50, deleting that character after creating an EAT/VEAT will result in your inability to create more EAT/VEAT until you get another character to 50.

*Up to your max number of character slots.

cool thanks, so essentially I have 4 level 50's so it auto unlocks those specific AT's like I don't need certain badges etc that's cool. thanks for the info you guys are very helpful.

I don't think you'd ever see anything like that definition of 'alpha class' in the game, it's well balanced already and that would go against the entire grain.

No, you need two level 50s. One hero of any kind, on any server, and one villain of any kind, on any server. If you have that, then you have the Kheldians and the VEATs unlocked. Both PBs and WSs unlock with a single level 50 hero and both Soldiers and Widows unlock with a single level 50 villain.

For instance, if I have a level 50 Scrapper on Champion server, then I can make Peacebringers and/or Warshades on any server I like, as many as I like. If I have a level 50 Mastermind on Virute server, then I can make Soldiers and/or Widows on any server I like, as many as I like.

If at some point you choose to delete one of your 50s (not sure why you'd do so, but whatever), you can lose access to the epics at that point until you get another 50. This doesn't prevent you from playing Kheld/VEAT characters you've already made, just making new ones. So in the above example, if I deleted the Scrapper, I'd still be able to play my existing Warshades and PBs, but couldn't create new Peacebringers or Warshades until another hero (on any server) got to 50.

You do not need certain badges or to complete certain tasks or anything like that. The Devs have mentioned that they don't really like the level 50 requirement (since it somewhat encourages powerleveling of characters, among other things), so if they ever add a third epic AT to the game it's likely it'll be unlocked in a different way. That's probably fairly far off though.

From what I understand, SunGryphon, that is technically incorrect.

Deleting your only fifty (apparently) doesn't remove your ability to create new Epic AT characters (for that side), but not infrequently the "Epics Available" flag gets reset. When this happens, you must log into a level 50 to re-enable the ability to create them.

True, but it's easier to say "don't do it" than "don't do it or you might..."

Blaster are the alpha class.
You see an AV ahead... "Send in the blaster, he'll take the alpha".

Lucky blasters, always getting the debt badges first!

awesome again thank you, so when you create these AT's can you choose the specific powers they use? like say fire/ice or do they have their own specific kind of powers? can you make them the different villain or hero classes? like say blaster,brute etc?

They are a specific AT with their own power sets.

Like the other ATs in the game they mostly come down to a particular play style that some people like and some don't. In general there seem to be more people who like the villain EATs than the Kheldians but overall you still see more people playing the classic ATs. This is partly because there are fewer powersets available to them than the classic ATs. With dual builds you can pretty much try all of the available options with only one of each type.

Although the Soldiers of Arachnos are unique in that they have branching powersets- you get a certain selection of powers up to level 24, then you're forced to respec and can choose one of two additional powersets, which effects the type of character you make.

interesting thanks. again sorry for the retarded questions, but being gone for a while i feel so left behind, also with work school and 2 kids one being a newborn i don't have the time to play. so I have been trying to gather as much info as possible, my next step is to find a decent guild on freedom that uses vent and has as warped of a sense of humor as I do.

Visit Paragon Wiki: http://www.paragonwiki.com (also accessible at http://wiki.cohtitan.com )

Start by searching for "Issues" and "Timeline" and "Patch Notes".

The first one will give you a list of all the Issue patches to the game (the big numbered patches).
The second one will give you a time-related listing of Issues and various events (real-life events, not in-game storyline stuff).
The third will give you access to the patch notes for nearly every single patch that's hit the game; as of right now we're only missing like 2-3 patch notes, IIRC and off the top of my head. (I don't at all expect you to read every single one. )

After you're done with that, search out specific stuff that interests you. Depending on how long you've been gone, the Invention System is important, as is the Mission Architect, the Faultline and Rikti Crash/War Site zone revamps, and a bunch of other things. Just start following breadcrumbs around to things that look interesting/different.

What?
Yeah, what he said. Mids, Influence and IO's make any hero (or villain) an "Alpha Class" if done right.
