whoa whoa whoa shhhh I really want those debuff buffs.. he really means

I agree with the many folks who said level 50 tokens could be a bad idea. (their individual reasoning aside) We can acknowledge though, that many folks wanna skip levels. I could be agreeable to a vehicle for this IF somehow, even comically, it is earned. I have said before a lower level token might be better. Level ~40 seems reasonable while still being a tad inconvenient (this isn't Christmas). It also would still require activities from levels ~40 through 50 to keep the wheels turning. I'll start another topic with details that can be debated and ridiculed.
-
"entirely"? Really? Just because I'm an expert level Stalker doesn't mean I know all the ins and out of another AT I've never played. Do I need to grind 1-50, probably not. Troo, but there is a bit of a learning curve for many powersets and definitely for some ATs. (I just don't get Dominators and the perma-dom requirement)
-
So should there be another option? A token that gives levels to a new character and skip the PLing. If so, what would be the appropriate level to skip to?
-
This happens, they are call SOs, they drop frequently and builds run just fine on them. If you meant IOs from sets should drop then thats different and maybe... but the idea of the inventions is that they require crafting. I craft quite a bit and it works well enough for me. Sometimes I earned salvage or recipes sometimes I need to buy it. The consolidation of salvage, recipes and enhancements into buckets was helpful. Being able to turn an unpopular enhancement into a valuable one is also pretty helpful.
-
Is there a better way? Maybe we shouldn't have to level up another 50 every-time, forever. Maybe we shouldn't need to re-roll when we finally realize we don't like our secondary. Should we need to level up another Brute if we already have 3 or 4 50s? Idea #1: I'd be in favor of being able to drop a primary or secondary for something else at a reasonable cost. Cost: 5 levels. Idea #2: I'd be in favor of some type of Level Up token We already do this on Test server. A way to reward folks who have met criteria. New badge for getting [some #] of Brutes to 50 or total Brute exp. "Brute-iful Mastery" badge Grants player a level 40 token for a Brute. For every 2 mastery of AT badges get a choice of a new AT level 15 token. Make trying new ATs and powersets easier. Reward experience.

This said, it would likely have an overall marginal impact on salvage, recipes and funds as the activities would move elsewhere. The super dialed in AE farms that yield excessive rewards being the most reduction. I'd be in favor of rotating (similar to weekly TFs) whether AE provided xp, $$, or not. Scratch that, I'm not in favor of impacting non-farm player created content.
-
Simple answer: Find some other way to farm XP. Folks would actually have to explore the game a bit, travel to missions locations, and risk losing a saved special mission if the glowie is clicked.

Good point. As I said, I don't go for the inspiration method. Yes, like some other sets it works until it doesn't and then we gotta have a plan. (unfilled psi hole, almost capped defense, etc. Big game lvl 1-50-T4)
-
harder than I thought making a modern or future version

Without going into a long debate SR has great defense Regen can have that same defense (until debuffed) plus it's regeneration. SR can't ever have the same regeneration. Elec has great resistance. Regen can have nearly that same resistance plus it's regeneration. Elec can't ever have quite the same regeneration. **This is baseline to some people's position which can put Regen possibly having a higher upside than some other sets. (not necessarily the ones listed) I don't completely agree with that because I don't like using inspirations on the regular. Instead I pair Regeneration with a bunch of resistance from powers, set bonuses, etc and simply accept that I am gonna get hit. This feels very sturdy and a good base to operate from. I'm at full health at the end of most fights. Now if I get hit with debuffs I need to know how to counter them. If incoming damage is coming in fast than regen heals at a sustained pace that is devouring the health bar, I need to know how to counter that as well. Sometimes the counter is a power, sometimes a tactic.

and if you put it on a Tanker it is overpowered..

With no inspirations I can play much of the game's content at very high level. Would some reasonable debuff protection help, sure. If someone needs to be spamming Dull Pain to survive, chances are they are in over their head or doing it wrong. (The +HP lasts 2 minutes) MoG is meant to be used liberally, it has no crash. So tired of regurgitated misinformation being spewed. Only Reconstruction is up somewhat often. The others are more like once every 2-4 minutes. On a build for previous testing: Instant Healing is up every 3:54 Moment of Glory is up every 1:56 Dull Pain is up every 1:53 Reconstruction is at 0:22 (Siphon Life <6s, Dark Regen <15s, etc) Pylons fall quicker than 2 minutes. It is a reactive set for sure and it may have more clicks than some other sets. But there is no need to exaggerate. This doesn't mean it is easy. Having some situational awareness helps. Example: Knowing when it might be a bad idea to use a 3.5 second activation power that might block the use of something else.

assuming puppies are next before we get back to fingers

meanwhile on Indom.. no issues. 🙂

I believe the best advice I've ever seen is: Do the tutorial at the beginning and sell the inspiration earned on the Black Market/Auction House for 1. This nets ~50K to start a character off.

Earning a couple thousand (minus market fees and effort). That's 50,000 transactions to get to 100M.. whoopie A player could be better off vendoring items received playing the game.

The below, from you, is all there is to it. Craft, convert and sell. I earned my first 2B crafting and converting over a couple weeks. Flipping yellow recipes into orange enhancements. Average sale price of just over 2,5M, mostly at ~2M though. ~50 recipes a day over ~2 weeks (50 x 14days =700 x avg sale 2.8M = 2 Billion) Learning prices just a bit will help recognize if things are overpriced. Getting inexpensive yellow recipes that convert quickly to high demand orange enhancements is the technique. (convert no more than 2-3x) Then putting on the market and seeing what they are going for. Pretty quickly we get better at identifying what's needed and turns a decent profit. I listed most everything a 1.8m and would get 2M-2.5M for them. Priced too high.. they will just sit. Things like Luck of the Gambler, I would price higher, but lower than the going price by a bit. If inventory sits and sales are happening without ours moving, we're priced too high. not a lot of sales happening on these a good number of sales potentially happening here (LotG Def/End) How to get Convertors? Merits from playing. (Hami, TFs, etc.). You can buy convertors, but if they are over 65-68k, it is expensive.

Arg, I shall claw my way back from the dead and lay claim to what I am owed.
