I have 4 pacts in place now. I do have one left if anyone wants to experience this.
I've found it better to only level pact with a single character at a time, and/or only when those characters are part of a regular group that meets at specific times to play together.
The reason for this is because with so many characters with a pact at the same time, it's unlikely you'll be able to play them all equally. This results in your pact partners playing more than you do, and doing "most of the work". That hinders their own progression and because half their XP is going to you. It's not fair to them and they may break the pact.
Sticking to only a couple at a time or with a regular group ensures you'll have time to spend on that character and "do your part" to make the pact a success.
YMMV
This is good advice. When I signed the agreements, I specifically mentioned that this was not an overnight thing...meaning that over a year the leveling would occur. Also, I specified that each character be played 3 hours a month. I wouldn't requested this if I couldn't do it. Also, I'm on Freedom...the fastest leveling server in the CoH Universe.
The hardest part of this game is the 37-45 range. Any help in this area benefits us both. Finally, if a person doesn't pull his weight I just stop playing the character till he/she meets his commitments.
I do get all the XP for my extra work and they will get none if I should do most of the work. NOT A BIG DEAL TO ME.
My plan is to get as close to 37-45 before the next double XP weekend then have us both come online to push us to the finish!!
Presto 4/5 new 50s!
This how I see things going for the pacts.
-You, get your character to level 5
-Me, I'll take mine into the AE and get them to 30. I have 2 toons who have 2,000,000,000 Inf/Infamy each so I can pay for the farms easily.
-We/go back and forth till about 37-40.
-Double XP weekend comes and we both come online to finish our characters or get our out of the 37-45 range. It's down hill after a certain level but I can't remember when.
I filled the last pact last night. Thanks all.
Anyone have a few toons they want to level gradually over the next year on Freedom? I have 5 I need to get to 50 and want to explore using a leveling pact.
Here are my toons:
Dynamica Attitude(Level 1) - Hero - pact created 4/16
Furious Attitude(Level 1) - Villain - pact created 4/17
Insidious Attitude(Level 1) - Villain - pact created 4/17
Luscious Attitude(Level 1) - Hero - pact created 4/16
Twisted Attitude(Level 1) - Villain
