Leveling from 1-50 In AE possible?

While I know that was one of the developer goals in all of this but has anyone actually done it outside of power leveling? I am kind of getting burnt out on some of the incarnate stuff and need a break from it all so I wanted to start a few alts but have them leveling primarily in the AE only leaving to do TFs and such.

I have tried a few arcs but for the most part people either pick stuff that gives so few tickets that they are not worth ever running again or they pick powerset combinations with the most annoying powers in the game, or they have tons of extreme bosses where you never make it past the front door. Essentially what I want is something I can take any character thru without being penalized by my AT selection or powerset selection. If there is a thread or guide that has a listing of good arcs to level up with that would really be appreciated.

Lastly once my characters beef up a little bit I usually set the slider higher on the number of players my character is equal to. My biggest fear in that is the ticket map cap limit where you end up not getting all the tickets. I guess what I am asking for is what is the most you can set your difficulty to and come close to but not over the ticket cap for the maps. If anyone knows specifically how it works that would be a big help too.

First off I would like to direct you to this forum thread:

It's Police Woman's "A MA arc contact tree".

I don't know if you could get all the way to 50 off of just the arcs in this list, but it'd get you started in each level range, at least. This list has the advantage of being generated by Police Woman, alone, based on her willingness to reccomend it to others. For what that's worth to ya, at least you know another human being has played the mission and thinks it's worth showing to people.

As far as hitting the ticket cap for a map, well, each map has a limit on the number of tickets you can get from it. If you cram it too full of enemies with your difficulty setting and then proceed to solo it, it's likely you'll go over.

I'd try not to let it bother you too much. The sheer amount of money to be made from even low-tier rolling means that missing out on a few tickets here and there won't hurt you too much in the long run. Also, unless you're on some kind of farming map that uses ambushes and similar to beef up the number of enemies you fight, I doubt you'll see it happen all that often.

If you're really worried about it, invite some folks along, then at least SOMEONE gets the tickets and I'm sure people will find it novel to be invited to a non-farming AE team. Who knows, it could be the start of something!

I know ProPayne (sp?) posted a long thread long ago about doing just such a thing, giving short reviews along the way. I think he just asked for people to submit their arcs for him and he made it to 50 on that alone, so it can be done. The thread that Teeto_K mentioned would be a good place to start too; if you scan this forum, you'll see a couple of good threads chock full of "play-tested" arcs like that.

Plus, if you get stuck, I'm sure you could make a request here and people would be glad to suggest arcs they've made or even others they've played and liked that would be level appropriate.
