Leveling To 20 the Retro Way

Trying to think of new things to do. Its summer, its boring, and hell this game is still fun!

I have an idea just like the title says the 'retro' way.

Here's what goes down:

Make a new toon!

Level to 2 in the intro but don't kill anything in the 'real world'.

Then we hit the sewers and we don't come out till we hit the Steel Canyon door.

We level in SC and head to Perez Park and either hells highway or if those are grey we head to the lake and run hydras.

After such time that the stuff in PP turns grey we run through Skyway and train then on to a Synapse TF.

After all that we should be well on our way to being SO range 21+ area.

No AE farms, No radio missions, and good times with new people.

Thing is this isn't an event. Its more of a challenge to vets to get out of the 'norm' of leveling your toons.

The main reason I'm doing this is to help people learn the game through good old fashioned teaming. So the idea is to meet new folks, reunite more vets to thinking this is a game of many sides.

I was running some striga missions the other day and three people needed specific directions to get to the zone and I go holy hell these people don't know this game...

Anyway as the servers go back online start the buzz and do those things that bring new people into the game and out of the AE rooms!

My global is new...its the same now everywhere c4maniac not Pepsi Can, not Black.

@c4maniac

Everything you are doing is everything I do on all of my characters :|

In fact, the -only- time I AE farmed was on two of my toons. Fortunata Sanguine to bum-rush her to fifty so I could earn VG leadership, and Aaron'noxa to 40 so he could start tanking.

All the others were classic Newspaper/Radio, Mayhems, Tips, and story arcs.

Retro levelling?

Psh. You know how I level my toons?

I log in. I run the tutorial. I run missions for my contact in City Hall. When they're finished, I run missions for the contact they introduce me to.

I keep running missions until I'm level 20.

I didn't even come into the game until around i13 and I'm still more retro than you, son. The sewer and the AE farms can lick my sphincter.

I've never done an AE mission.

I'm game... look me up @Liberties

when do you want to do this

The 'Let's go see Officer Wincott / The PVP Contact / The Security Officer' "missions" should be replaced by pop-ups similar to the AE officer alerts. It would go far in making the early game content appealing again.

@Kyuu

I did something similar with my new FM/ELA Scrapper.

Tutorial to level 2.

Starting contant.

Street sweep last bar to lvl 5.

Headed to Hollows and did the first 2 contacts.

Then ran Posi 1 and Posi 2.
