Thread oppposed to lvl 20 epics

blargh.

I "worked hard" to get a 50 hero and a 50 villain so I could make Peacebringers (sucked), Warshades (sucked but not as much), Soldiers (decent), and Widows (one of my best toons). I still think the decision is a good one. Granted I probably would've done 30 or 35 just because 20 comes so fast, but I still agree with the decision.

The EATs are all solid ATs that people put a lot of time into. They could use some tweaks here and there (HEATs especially), but there are a lot of people missing out on these ATs as an option. I myself have about 7 level 50s, but it still took me about 2.5 years to get my first one. The reason they gave for lowering the level is that there are long-time vets who still don't have a 50.

The point is, stuff gets put into the game for people to experience it. And not enough people are experiencing EATs. The devs have said they regretted the level 50 thing for a long time. And level 50 for our game has never been a goal or an ending point that normal players should reach. With all the people telling everyone on the forums that it's the journey and not the destination, and not to rush to 50, why do we have ATs that you can't play until then? It's a contradiction.

<-- In favor of earlier access EATs

I too "worked" hard to raise up several heroes and villains to 50, to unlock Epics on all of my accounts.

Peacebringers sucked. Warshades were a bit better. Soldiers are Meh, but my Widow rocks.

Do I give a care about the requirements being dropped to 20? Not at all. I've come to expect it actually. The first set of people to do a task will always work harder than several generations later.

Personally I would've dropped it to 35 to be in line with Cimerora, RWZ (VMs) and just the sheer splidget of challenge 35 takes over 20, but oh well...

Now Get Off My Lawn!!

Bah! less options = bad!
Just because you don't like lemon-aid, doesn't mean you get to pee in other peoples.

I don't see a big deal about lowering the level requirement.

So there will be even more people to say "meh" about the EATs.

I briefly grumbled (but only to myself) when I first learned of this. However, I am cool with it. I am pleased that I was able to get my Khelds and VEATS (I can't get myself to call Khelds EATS...squids...good EATS?) unlocked the old way.

I am going to speculate that if unlocking epics is no longer going to be a reward for reaching 50, then reaching 50 is going to have a reward that is much much much much better. My advice is to just be patient and wait and see what happens.

I don't index my satisfaction in my accomplishments by what others DON'T have. Certainly not in a game where it costs me nothing is they have something I already have.

I approve of epics at 20. My Khelds and Arachnos characters do too.

Updated truth:

You can please most of the people some of the time and you can please some of the people most of the time, but you cannot please most of the people most of the time.

I'm not sure what the key to success is, but I know that the key to failure is setting out with the intention of making everybody happy.

Oh and for the record, my only real complaint now would be you get nothing at 50. Where's my new costume slot for 50?!

I'm happy that there is less 'need' to grind or PL to 50 just to unlock more character generation choices.

I don't mind that I did it the old fashioned way, and others won't.
