Just Returned and a Question about Epic ATs


Call Me Awesome

 

Posted

Hello all! I just returned to the game after quite a long spell of absence. I had a question about the epic ATs. It says that in order to roll one I need to get a character to level 20. I have a level 42 MM and a level 35 scrapper. Do I need to start from scratch and get a fresh 20 to then make an epic AT hero/villain? Thanks for the help!

No, you should have them unlocked with your old characters. You may have to log in your MM first before it lets you make VEAT's (Villain Epic AT) and likewise you may need to log in your scrapper before you can make Kelds (Hero Epic AT).

I just tried that, and still could not. I'll send a support request. Many thanks!

Actually, no. I'm afraid that HEATs and VEATs are unlocked the instant a character trains to level 20. In your characters are already over that limit, you're SOL. I learned that the hard way when they made the change... My one and only villain back then had reached level 22 a couple days before the announcement and I had to start one from scratch to unlock the Arachnos Soldiers.

You may get an admin to unlock them with a petition, though. I'll admit I didn't try that, but then I like it the hard way sometimes. Since I'd also unlocked both sets before buying GR, I'm also unsure if getting to 20 with a Pretorian unlocks both sets of EATs. (It should, since you get the message. Actually you'll get the message EVERY SINGLE TIME ONE OF YOUR CHARACTERS MAKES IT TO 20 FROM NOW ON, which honestly gets old after a bit. But at least that way you KNOW they're unlocked. )

You might try switching to a new build (as this resets your active level to 1, and requires you to 'train up' at a trainer). Once you select your level 20 power the EATS might unlock.. Not sure if it will work, but worth a shot.

No they're not. The "EPIC ARCHETYPES UNLOCKED" popup occurs the instant you have enough XP to be level 20. It is in no way related to training.

Praetorians unlock nothing. It's just like getting a Villain to 50 before the villain EATs existed; the message popped up, but nothing was unlocked.
