You cannot respec into a different primary or secondary power set. You are "stuck" with what you chose at character creation.

Ok, Thanks
But you can always make a new character. Join us in the land of Altitus!

See, my thing is I never really learned the full game, I would just make characters and run around fighting the typical thugs. Gets boring. I want to get committed and have a high level involved character.
^^^ What Should I DO???????
What most will say is to experiment. Create a number of Characters until you find one you find the one you really like. Generally by say Level 18 or 20, you should have a good idea if you like the Character or not. Once you have the Character you want to play, run with it.
For me, it's a bit different. I like the Alt-friendly nature of City. And my wanting in playstyle varies from time to time, so does the Characters I play.
Just take your time and you'll find the one Character you'll really enjoy and play through the content. It'll happen.
Thank you for the time...

Before I bought the game way back when, I did some research into the type of character that I thought I wanted to play. I was in love with the concept of Blasters/Defenders. I created all sorts once I bought the game, but it never quite jived with me. It wasn't until I made my first Tanker that I found a character/concept/playstyle that I liked.
So I agree with Tymers: make characters until you find one that sticks with you. Forcing yourself to get to 50 with a character you don't like is just delaying the inevitable. Make new characters until you find one that you really enjoy, and then you'll see yourself get to 50 by having fun.

By creating alts you can put a character you aren't enjoying on the back burner, and come back to it later once you've recharged your batteries or if your interests have changed.
Personally I've never been a fan of melee characters, then I got talked into participating in Tanker Tuesdays when I have the time and now I have more Tanks than I know what to do with.
Very cool, thanks. Another question. y'all talk like getting to level 19 pro 20 is easy and fast. I am only level 7. What do I do to level quicker? I took me forever just to get to 7!!!!

However, if you want to level a bit quicker, try to join on of the Death From Below (DFB) trials that you'll hear people advertising in Atlas Park. It'll get you several levels fast. Then once you get to level 12 or so, go play the actual game.

Now by playing the actual game you mean like getting contacts and going on missions?

In part to what Aett mentioned, but I would also ask, what you consider 'took me forever'? Hero side, completing the intro Arcs should get you to 6-7 in maybe and hour or so (build depending). If you're just street sweeping, I can kinda see the difficulty then.|

Another thing, It isn't so much about 'getting to the Level Cap' in City, so much as the journey itself. Yes, there is the Incarnate stuff (VIP only). But the nature of the game environment and how Super Sidekicking works, a player can play practically anywhere in the game and feel like they are contributing.
For me, I also like taking my time with the game. I use the no XP option quite a lot in the low levels mainly because you can out level the low level stuff so quickly.
Also make sure when you head to Kings Row, you get your Police Scanner for doing Radio/Safeguard missions (Newspaper for Paper/Mayhem missions Villain side) and do 3 Radio missions & the following Safeguard mission in Kings (Before Level 10) to get the Raptor Pack and a Story Contact. That'll get you going into some of the Story Content.
Thank you for the time...

If you've run through the Tutorial (presuming you've gone Hero), when you zone into Atlas Park, in your Nav, you should see something along the lines of "See Matthew Habashy" (Link is to his entry at Paragonwiki). He starts the new (with CoH: Freedom) Starting Arcs. Completing his mission Arc will give you a choice of two Contacts to see: Officer Fields or Sondra Costel. Finishing either contact will send you to Aaron Thiery. His missions finish off the Starting Arcs, Hero Side. There is a similar setup Villain side as well. If you try Twinshot's first Arc as well, you get a little bit more info on general game systems and whatnot, but it's optional.

Don't forget Ridia is currently F2P so roll a lot of alts isn't really an option right now.
Yes, during the low levels your initial array of opponents in Atlas are varies magically empowered gangs and the villain opposing force of Arachnos. Once upon a time you also faced reanimated through science Vaz and the mechanical metal filching Clockworks but I out leveled Atlas on my newest alt before I notice if they are still around. You do run into them on the streets of Kings Row along with the mutating Lost.
Is it me or does anyone else miss the old 5 + 5 contact system in Paragon?

How did you know Ridia was a F2P-er?

Well, I'm gold only because I manually turned it on -- after read the thread on how to do it 
. And I resisted for a long time, but the peer pressure!!! I'm weak

My guess is because your forum name is one letter off from Rydia. A female character from Final Fantasy IV.

Can I add Titan Weapons or Street Justice to my character even if I already have a primary/secondary power sets as a Brute/Tank/Scrapper, or am I stuck with what I elected at character creation???
