So I have been gone since around i12, and I just bought a new laptop for college and was so stoked about it I decided to come back to some gaming.

My question is,
What has changed? What are the powerhouse character set ups? Did the level cap change (I read something somewhere that confused me about that)? What do I need to know to get back to my non-n00b status?

Last of all, any sg's need a new member? =]

Thanks!

A fair amount of stuff. Several new TFs, some QoL stuff, I think most of the power proliferation, power customization, not to mention Going Rogue with the new Praetorian content and side switching (where Heroes can become villains and go to Rogues Isles and vice-versa).

Check out this list of issues, it might help you.

I think all of the sets are considered "good," regardless. The Flavor-of-the-Month builds float around but there haven't been any huge changes. Just play what you like and it'll be fine.

Going Rogue introduced Incarnates which can boost you to effectively 51. See the dude Ramiel in Ouroboros. Otherwise, check that list of Issues above, it is a doozy but you need to at least take a look to know more.

The new way is to just start your own personal SG & base (they are much cheaper now) and join a global server channel (they have around 2000 members, much more than any SG). You can of course join a SG if you like, I'm just pointing out a second option.

Have fun, and post again if you get some specific questions.
