CoH actually does something similar. Spawns are created when a hero/villain passes the spawn area, according to zone level, hero level and team size. So, if a lower level hero entered the spawning zone before you, the spawn would be according to that level. However, in KR and other non-hazard zones, there are min/max levels of spawn within the zone itself, where the general rule is that lower level spawns are closer to the entrance to the zone, the rise as you move outwards. That, of course, means that bad guys can be clustered mainly in low-level parts of the zone, such as CoT on rooftops around the train.

The funny thing is, even on live, just after release where there were queues to login and five instances of Atlas Park, people we calling for mergers. I'm on Reunion, and teams fill up fairly fast IF SOMEONE STARTS THEM. Don't wait for an invite, start a team of your own.

I play on Reunion, and I can honestly say that while I solo a lot (by choice, I like to read the mission text in peace), whenever I want a team, I find one within a couple of minutes. If LFG is empty, then I form a team. It's never been a problem.

The only problem with stalkers is that hide obscures my costume.

Thank you, Redlynne. I'm a big fan of the Praetorian storylines, except I can't make myself play Power or Crusader. They clash too much with my own sense of morality, unfortunately. I'm one of the ones wishing Praetoria had gone all the way to level 50.

Hope was the last thing in the box.

Welcome home!

My experience is also that at least some old contacts stop selling them once you've outlevelled the contact.

I'd go with a sonic/energy blaster, because you sleep a group and then take them on one on one with your rather amazing single target attacks. Boost range is awesome for your cones (I do boost range, cone attack, cone knockback, then cone sleep. That'll leave them half dead and snoring). Sonic/Ice blaster would have loads of control. Stun, hold, sleep, slow, knockback....

You just learned that NOW???

No. As others have said, there's a ton of fantasy games out there.

I wouldn't take medicine, other than to heal between groups when soloing. Basically, a held mob does no damage, and doing unto them before they can do unto you, means you won't take damage and thus won't need a heal. This is also why I would generally not find a use for the fighting pool. Solo, I wouldn't need it much, in teams I would let others take the alpha and therefore not need the defense.

I'd say you're missing your bread and butter single target attacks completely in favor of loads of poolpowers. No bone smasher, no blaze, no flares and only the default slot in fire blast. Flares and Fire Blast can be used when mezzed, which is no small thing. I'd really hate having to level this build, to be honest. It looks more like a wannabe pool-power based scrapper with a few blasts thrown in.

@Wintercat. Mnay, many alts. I was in Legion of Freedom

I just learned the other day who Penelope Yin's mother is....

Personally, I use SO's until at least lvl 32, because I hate that crafted enhancements are slightly worse than +3 lvl SO's. Also, I think crafting is downright boring.

Oh gods, how I loathe those Croatoa hunt missions...

Me three

I'd say I have tried pretty much every variation of blaster save for water, beam rifle and dark, and every single one is easily soloable as longas you don't expect to solo on the mythic +4/8. This is without IOs and bonuses and such, I never got into crafting. If course, EBs can cause difficulty and faceplants, but plan your inspiration tray carefully and you'll win.

Thank you for this entire thread. Especially the survival tips. I see too many masterminds sending in their minions to die instead of taking the alpha themselves (a good leader leads from the front). I think many don't know about bodyguard mode, and don't think to really use tactics (other than the pool power 😉 ). Personally, I like to pull with an attack or debuff, take the hit and then let loose the dogs/lions/wolves of war (current mm is beast). For range-focused pets post-32, I like to pull the furthest enemy, as soldiers and bots tend to open with their AOE's.

True, but the can be edited, and you get a nice icon in your tray 🙂

Remember back when 10.000 inf was the transfer limit?

Two things: Telling someone to not be bothered by words is like kicking someone and telling them not to let it hurt. Also, the only right way to play the game is the one that feels fun to you, and doesn't impinge on others.

That's one of the advantages of playing squishies. We have NO defenses, so we never notice.

Not to mention that rest is no longer on a 10 minute recharge. That sure helps when soloing.
