Finally!

So, a while back, I set myself a project - I was heavily playing some ATs (Khelds, Defenders, Controllers) and leaving some others to languish. I decided to get one of each AT to 50.

Admittedly, I was over halfway there when I decided to, and this wasn't a "concentrate on this and only this" type of project. With all those alts (and more made since starting it) there's just no way.

However, I finally finished this up yesterday - exactly five years since getting my first 50. (Well, five years and some hours, to be nitpicky.) Finished with a Fire/Kin/Soul Corruptor over on Justice, at 155 hours. Not heavily IOd (a bit more on the solo build, the team build is almost purely SOs and common IOs) but that's not unusual for me.

By comparison, the first 50 was an Elec/Elec/Fire blaster back in Issue 4, who took 500+ hours to get to 50. Pre-ED, pre-GDN, pre-villains, pre-IO... and of course having all sorts of fun with the debt starting at 50, no debt relief, the original Hollows spawns (and "sudden spawns of +6 appear around you,") running out of content at 37 or so and having to grind to 40 and the like. (I still have a copy of the character at 38 on test!)

So, having run through all them - I definitely like my squishies. I have more of them by far than melee, I like my range, I like control. When I'm *in* melee, I tend to prefer tanks, with brutes coming up a close second (fury>crits for fun for me.) Still not fond of VEATs, though I'm sure over half that is disappointment in their arcs - a crab's being entertaining to play currently. Still love my Khelds.

Total? 20 50s right now. One of each, two Blasters, two Controllers, three Defenders, two Tanks and two Peacebringers. In the wings, at 40+, another Defender, Controller, and Dominator.

Next up? Casually working on one of each Tank primary to 50. I've got them scattered around, but both my 50s there are Fire/ (/SS and /EM) so it's time to get working on those. (I've run one of each control set past 32. Not taking Illusion to 50, just don't like it, but the rest will make it, I'm sure.)

Interesting to anyone else? Probably not. But it was a fun little goal in and of itself (and might give ideas to the other altaholics who find themselves stalled out without something at higher level - give yourself a project!)

Projects like these are always fun. My personal project is to get one of each MM primary to 50.

Granted, I've only been playing on-and-off these last months, so I only have one 50 Thugs/, and one 41 Robotics/. But I'll get there, eventually.

I think he only explicitly listed the ATs he has multiples of.

I'm curious, do you have one each of Arachnos Soldier and Arachnos Widow, or did you count Crab and Bane as separate ATs?

Grats Bill! It makes me sad you don't love Illusion - one of my favorite ATs.

Gratz Bill!

I still have a 46 Widow, a 25 Defender and a not yet rolled up Praetorian Corruptor to get to 50 before I join the club.


total kick to the gut

This is like having Ra's Al Ghul show up at your birthday party.

Yep. First 50 redside was an Energy/Energy brute. Which was actually fun to run around PVP zones as, before all the changes - getting cussed out as that "damn Stalker" and watching people try to teleport me (when that protection was in) over and over and over again.

One Soldier, one Widow. Though I can see myself getting that Crab up to 50 (high 20s right now.) I just didn't have fun with them - but again, that may be a holdover from being as disappointed in their storyline as I was. I'm ignoring the VEAT arcs on the Crab, and it also has zero need for stealth (which IMHO isn't strong enough in VEATs, given the stalker-ish crits there.)

So I'm not the only player in the game who doesn't think VEATs are the GREATEST THING EVER? Good to know.

Personal goals are great and do help in the long run with playing and enjoying the game.

Well done.
I have a 50 in every AT, but Scrappers and Dominators are my favorites.

Okay, that makes a lot more sense now. I was so confused. (Though I personally prefer "Even electronic brain pancake crystal elderly.")

His post makes sense. Yours didn't. I think the description designed for troll attempts like this is "Phail."

Gratz MB!


Wanted: Origin centric story arcs.
If you've only played an AT once (one set combo) and "hate" it - don't give up. Roll a different combo. It may just be those sets not clicking for you.

lol...my goal is to get one of each AT to *30*... I still have Blasters, both Khelds, half a level on my Dommie, and both VEATs. Once that happens (hell is freezing over at that point), I'll increase my goal to 40...

...cos it's so unlikely I'll ever get every AT to 50 that it's like a bad joke.

Hmmm. That one, I've done on everything but Peacebringer... but ugh, I do not want to play a Peacebringer under any circumstances. Guess I'll stick with my current goal of 'get one of each thing I'll enjoy playing to 50 to 50.'

Huzzah!...Bill!!

I only have a stalker to go then I to will have a 50 of everything.

While my goal was to have a 50 on every server, that was back when 1 mil inf was quite a bit.

I have not quite given up on having a 50 both hero and villain now on every server, but it is getting harder to keep to it.

I may have to get some Super Teams going on some of the less populated servers.


Alts on all servers, lvl 50 of every AT:
lvl 50 Heroes on all servers but; Pinnacle, Victory
lvl 50 Villains on all servers but; Guardian, Pinnacle, Triumph, Victory
Current Projects: Tanks

Grats, and good luck with that Tanker project. My current project is to get one of every AT to 50, I only have Stalker and Kheldian to go. The Stalker hit 40, so he can play in Lagville now, 50 is just a matter of time. I don't what to do about the Kheldian sitting at 35.

A while back I came up with the goal of getting each AT to 50. This was before CoV, though. That threw a wrench in the project, as I simply don't play as much as I used to.

Anyway, I finally hit 50 on my last hero AT needed, a Controller. That was about 2 weeks ago, I think. Seriously, I tried, but just couldn't stick with Controllers.

That means I have hit 50 with 2 Tanks, 2 Blasters, 1 Defender, 1 Scrapper, 1 Controller, 1 Warshade, 2 Peace Bringers.

Villains have 1 Brute and...well, that's it. I have my MM in the mid 40's, have been enjoying my lvl 30 Fortunata, and just made a Corrupter. Stalker and Dominator are awaiting GR.
