I'm confused, does the beta server auto-maxlevel your character or something? Otherwise I don't see a difference between servers. Create a toon, run around the map, delete if you want and start over. OR don't delete, you has as much space as you could ever need.
Sorry, I agree more with Red on this. That's the great thing about CoH, many paths are viable and the game is about more than min/maxing. Min/max culture can be incredibly toxic and often ends up forcing players into the same cookie-cutter builds.
That said, knowing the comparative facts is useful, as long as that's not the only factor.
Not only are travel powers useful, they’re some of the most fun powers in the game. Nothing makes you feel more super than flying, leaping buildings or running faster than a car.
Do you have a link to a pigg viewer that works in windows 10? The old one I’m finding wants some 2003 virtual windows install I can’t seem to get working.
Knockback may be useful for solo toons, but it’s one of the most irritating powers in groups. If you’re trying to AOE or melee mobs and someone keeps scattering them then knockback is increasing your time to kill.
People talk a lot of minmax talk around slotting, but really, in how much content does maxed sets really matter if you’re teamed and exemplared down to run missions? On any decent team I’ve been on we plow through content easily, only occasionally do we have to stop and rethink an approach to a fight.
