Absolutely possible. There is probably enough content that you could do it on several characters, and never see the same thing twice. Any cautions? Avoid the junk, enjoy the good--easy to say, hard to do.|

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.
Thank ya, ma'am. I forogt about the wiki, so that's a great place for me to start.
How does the system handle outleveling contacts through the Architect system? Do I have to start wherever I left off and work through a bunch of "I have nothing for your security level" and getting new contacts?

The architect determines your level based on the mission. You'll scale to the appropriate level automatically, and will never outlevel anything in the architect. The wiki can be found here, this first link directs you to an overview of the invention system.

I should have clarified that I meant world contacts, not architect contacts. Just curious how it handles it if you are pointed to Vic Johnson and don't go see him til you're SL20.
If you outlevel a contact, it should introduce you to the next one in line. Your contacts should continue to do this, until you reach the ones that are appropriate to your level.
Bar that, your characters can get a newspaper (for villains, from a broker) or a radio (for heroes, from a detective) that will give you random, quick, and basic missions. Complete three to five of them and you'll be presented with a special mission (mayhem for villains, safeguard for heroes). Complete that and the broker/detective that gave you the mission will let you pick the contact you want.

The mayhems are definitely worth doing because you can destroy almost anything. Cars, bus stops, parking meters, you name it. And if you have a decent graphics card, the mailboxes spray mail everywhere and you can throw it around. Or kick the parking meter coins around. |

hmm. not saying your wrong..its just I've never seen ANY toon .. hero or villian have ANY effect upon landing.. other than maybe bouncing and/or dying upon impact.. no matter how high the drop is from.
Not from landing alone, but if you have a PBAoE damage field on and you're of sufficient level, I imagine that'd achieve the same basic visual effect.
Also, welcome back to the game, Drinkslinger. Have fun with all the new shinies!
The Elysienne; Magical controller
Silent Sickle; Natural scrapper
And many more.
Aenigma Rebis: "Actually, Ely's more like Jean Grey. Only... smart."
speaking of new shinies.. a new booster pack is going on sell on th 24th.

I was browsing the booster packs and didn't figure I was going to get any of them. Then I saw that the science one lets you use the cosmetic tailor, so I gotta pick that one up. And I see that the new one has the mutant costume changes which are pretty schwing.|

I have a 30-something brute that is enormous when he is all monsterlike and wears a suit when he is all cuthroat businessman-y. Making a decently scaled "small" enormous man in a suit was a little tough, but that will make him AWESOME. /lateexcitement

The game now has its own list of "free" base costume change emotes. The booster packs just add to that list. The requisite pages in the NCSoft store should also adequately display all the costumes, powers, and perks contained within the packs so you can decide wisely. Or buy them all. |
