Why don't you just reroll? It's not like it's hard to get to 10.

Why MA ratings should be changed from stars to "like" or "dislike"
A better algorithm for ordering MA arcs
Getting to level 10 nowadays takes about 30 minutes...
and thats playing solo.
I'd prefer the Dev's spend time and resources on something a little more useful.
Maestro Mavius - Infinity
Capt. Biohazrd - PCSAR
Talsor Tech - Talsorian Guard
Keep Calm & Chive On!
That's kind of what I was thinking. If the level is so low, why not just re-roll?

And how many level 10 characters normally have 10mil? Unless they've got a sugar daddy/momma to email them the cash, not very many.|

NO changing AT from tank to scrapper, etc. The purchase price could be anywhere from 1 mil -100 mil influence, but let's start with 10 million influence. There's a minor influence sink.

In short... /unsigned
Okay... some of you obviously were NOT paying attention.
Some of you don't know how helpful Rangle is in general, so you wouldn't get that this ridiculous post of his is so absurdly out of character, you wouldn't realize...
HE'S JOKING!
You all fail on the sense-of-humor-o-meter.
Apparently, subtle dry humor is too subtle... and dry.

Given it fits right in with so many of the regular posts, how is anyone who - by your own admission - doesn't know the person going to be able to tell "he's joking?" I can, quite frankly, probably pull up several similar - and serious - posts without much effort. |

Text based medium. No body language. No vocal inflections. With nothing else to go by, yes, the post needs to be taken at face value.

Hm.... guess my over the top "tongue firmly planted in cheek" humor was lost on a few folks.
OR, maybe a few folks take this all waaaay to seriously for their own good?
I'll let you decide.
I hope a few people did find it humorous, if not, sorry. I'll try better next time.

tl:dr: Don't be coherent, rational and reasonable.
Don't properly organize your thoughts: you use bold, sentences, and introductions to categories very well.
Don't use proper spelling and punctuation as frequently as you did.
Gradually get more ludicrous. In your post you actual gave more rational support as you moved through your post. "It would make things more easy, I am lazy". Are rational supports. They are true and counter the obvious retort that many others posted: "just reroll" --> "I'm too lazy".
Don't ask "would this help" or "would this work". Your idea cannot be wrong. Take it and run.
Add some logical fallacies: You need some ad-hominem attacks or things that truly don't line up.

I thought it was humorous that people were responding seriously, cuz I've seen the same thing happen to me when I was joking. Sometimes subtle dry humor doesn't translate well on a written forum.|

Next time try a little more of this.
Exactly. When going "over the top", it's usually best to go WAY WAY over the top. Half measures get lost.
Dec out.

I'm still convinced our nuclear weaponry did something horrible to the Japanese genetic structure. Witness Katamari Damacy.

Concept: Allows you to purchase a powerset "do over" for any toon level 10 or below. Once you've gotten to level 11 it is NO LONGER accessible. So NO redoing your level 50 from scratch. NO changing AT from tank to scrapper, etc. The purchase price could be anywhere from 1 mil -100 mil influence, but let's start with 10 million influence. There's a minor influence sink.
The reality is I've created many a toon with a concept in mind only to find that I didn't like the powers that I've chosen. I usually figure this out before I've gotten to level 14. So in turn, I've gone and remade the toons several times until I had the powers that worked for me. I typically don't change the toons AT when I do this as the AT was part of the concept for the character.
)
Reasoning: Mainly laziness.
Why level 10? By this time you've achieved access to over 50% of your primary powers and 45% of your secondary powers and you're usually beginning to get an idea of how the power sets would play in the long run. This would keep from having a lowbie toon with all the Accolades, defeat badges etc. if you gave a "restart" to a level 50 toon.
Conclusion: Is this something I really want? No, not really. I'm fine redoing the toons I can't make work by level 10. But this might be something other people would want so I'm throwing it out here for others to comment on.
Would I use it? Of course, if it made your life easier, wouldn't you? (see the laziness comment.
Would this keep me from making alts? HAHAHAHAHAHAHA... My wife shakes her head and mutters at me every time I make a new toon. I'm not as bad as some, but I'm still fairly bad.
Would this keep down the continual requests for full re-specification threads? It's a nice thought, but the reality is "not a smoking chance in Hades."
