Also, if you pre-purchase GR, you can get instant access to Dual Pistols, and also early access to Demon Summoning in April - and there's several hours of 2XP left this weekend

And because of this top-heaviness I found these games to be rude to the point of hostile for a new player. I wasn't properly geared therefore I was insulted and discarded regularly. I was wondering if that has happened here, or is this still a friendly place? When I left everyone was happy :-) Have no reason to expect otherwise, but just thought I'd ask. |

What?

well, there is "gear" now with inventions, dunno if you were here when they came out, but as per another recent thread, most people care more that you are fun to play on a team with then whether you have a lot of invention bonuses. there isnt really an "endgame "per-se right now, though one is being worked on apparently, in fact, you will find that post issue 16, they expanded the sidekicking system so that a new player with higher level friends can group much more easily now, everyone is the leader's level, no more pairing. now the lack of certain powers will still mean that a natural level 30 will be more helpful than a level 10 sidekicked up, but most players are pretty open about it, and actual accounts of gear related nastiness are fairly rare.
tldr version, get in here, its fine.
Levels matter even less than before now with the new Sidekick system. You can now team with literally anyone of any level across the entire game.

Task/Strike forces (all have a minimum level).
Cimerora access (must be flagged via arc AND be 35+, but most people go here for the Task force)
Hamidon is 45-50 only.
If you are every looking for company, you can always give the Repeat Offenders a shot, we're on Justice, Virtue, and Freedom.
Orc&Pie No.53230 There is an orc, and somehow, he got a pie. And you are hungry.

Generally, if you play nice, people around here will be very friendly. It's a pretty nice community overall. You won't be discriminated against because of gear, build, class or anything else.|

As someone else mentioned, the only thing most of us care about is whether you're fun to play with, and optionally whether you're fun to chat with
Beyond that, don't worry about it.

Is it just me, or is the reaction to the introduction of gearscore in that other game the single most predictable thing ever? And also, possibly, the stupidest thing I have ever heard of a company doing "for" it's playerbase?
