Dropping in after a couple of years...

Howdy all,

So with the current holiday games list looking rather bleak (just happens to be one of those years with not much I'm interested in), I decided to give my favorite MMO another shot for another month or so.

I doubt anyone around here remembers me...been over three years since I last played. I think I9 was out at the time. I played on and off for about a year around the time CoV came out, and then ran with the Void-Walkers / Corruption, and was in one of the first groups on Justice to beat the Recluse strike force. I left them after a break and everyone went inactive, and then joined Steel Justice where I played until a little bit after villain Hamidon was first taken down on Justice (was in that large group too, though ironically enough I got disconnected just as everyone received their awards/loot).

So...what seems to be the popular beats nowadays? I noticed that Atlas Park was nearly deserted when I logged in earlier, though I suppose it is a Monday night. Also, with all of the changes made to the game since I last played, how drastic do you think I'd need to change my character builds (are SO's still viable with IO's out now, major nerfs, need-to-knows, etc..). I guess I19 is coming out tomorrow, where they are integrating the Fitness pool into all archetypes, so I'll have to respec anyway, haha.

Anyway, looking forward to teaming with some people again. Joined the Justice United channel, so I'll be listening in.

First, welcome back.

Second, you have a lot of catching up to do. This P-wiki page should help a bit.

Some highlights:
  • Side-kicking has been re-vamped, so bridging is passe'.
  • Playing the market is fun for some, but there are more avenues to obtain recipes & salvage than you can shake a stick at. My fav's are AE tickets + Reward Merits (for running story arcs/TF's).
  • Player Star-Rating & Notes allows you to keep track of players by global. Click on a player's name in the chat window, and choose "edit/add note" from the popup menu. Set "player rating" to "always show" in your options window. These are YOUR personal notes on players, nobody else will see them.
  • Two words: Power Customization. Check it out. You can also save your power customizations and costumes in the char. creator and tailor.
  • There is now a "flashback" system through the Ouroboros crystals. You can go back to certain story arcs and TF's to obtain badges & merits.
  • Buncha new TF's... you'll prolly pick those up as you go.
  • You can now have 3 builds for a character
  • Side switching. Hero --> Vigilante --> Villain --> Rogue --> Hero
  • Praetoria; A whole new ball game for lvl 1-20.
Just to name a few things...

Appreciate it. I'm probably not going to be purchasing Going Rogue though...do a lot of people still play the older zones?
