If you want to be Power-leveled... if you want someone else to make a build for you ... You seriously don't share your build with anyone, even with someone asking for help? That's being awfully stingy. Your build is not good enough to keep secret. Edited January 10, 2020 by Corruption 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fan Mail Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 I'm going to start charging people to team with me because I'm that good. But my fee is only 10 million for 3 missions. Teaming with me is the same as being power leveled. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quixoteprog Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 Power levelling I find ridiculous. In this game more so than in any MMO. Now, for base redesign? THAT would be worth 30 million inf. 8-] Getting good enough to make one that looks like anything but a big warehouse full of shelves and benches would take way more time than getting to 50. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh lordy yes. I have seen some stunning bases since they became free to build and maintain. True palaces of delight with some real care and thought put into them. The hours it must have taken and the imagination is breathtaking. Mine is as you described, a giant warehouse full of shelves and storage bins 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nemeroff Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 In addition to the Contacts' stories, I enjoy the risk and thrill involved with going to a zone a bit too high just so I can snag the Exploration badges. Get in, "steal" the badge, get out alive. Sometimes, on the edge of my seat, a brief fight is involved to delay the targets while I escape. But dying on top of the badge is like a drink thrown in your face. I've done this with my Stalker's Hide on. Afterward I felt like I was wasting my time. No real achievement. To each they're own. But I don't Insta-50. "What are dominators... Much like a spider traps a bug, wraps it up, then starts chewing on it when it's completely unable to escape or defend itself."

Haijinx Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 I'm almost at 50 on my completionist solo run, which I have just been playing casually. I still will have roughly 1/2 the arcs to go, maybe a little less. And all the modern TF versions yet. And of course made hundreds of millions already from turning merits into converters and selling them. I also have an insane number of temp powers. So I guess that is the opposite of Power Leveling. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also have the exact same build he has for this new brute, SS/Fire. Foot stomp is down to about 4 seconds or just under from what he said, from 20 recharge base 😝. Just can't afford it yet.

I find it weird when people try and tell other people how to play the game. Some people LOVE AE, some people do not. If you want to spend your influence on being PL'd then do it. Same. I'd also like to add "to a point". With regards to PL and farming, I get a sense that right now it helps the community more than it hurts it. So I'm ok with it. I also like the fact that farming and PL's are more transparent now. There are guides if you want to do it yourself so idm if people don't want to read / take the time and pay for being PL'd. I also love the fact that this is a non-profit system that doesn't prevent people from doing things for fear of ruining the profitability of the game. I think a lot of people don't realise how many nerfs and "fixes" go into games because the publishers want to make more money off their playerbase, and not because they think players will actually enjoy more. Allowing farming and PL's to better see how it affects the community instead of immediate bans and nerfs is far more interesting to me. 1 GUIDE: i25 Homecoming Quality of Life (QoL) consolidated list of tweaks List of Thematic Powers by Archetype Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yomo Kimyata Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 I've never understood the whole Pling to 50 thing, but whatever. I will say that I see a lot more people looking for and finding teams sub 50. So why are people PLing to 50? I don't think it's PvP. I don't think it's incarnate content. Is it to make Ouro content easier? If so, why not just do it the first time? I'm honestly puzzled. 1 Who run Bartertown? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole mention of PL'ers charging are "exploiting" people is just silly. People with the inf are getting what they paid for. If they feel it's too much, then they'll find someone who will do it cheaper. Zero exploitation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, I think the idea of anyone keeping a build secret for any reason is dumb. As far as the topic at hand, I don't PL anyone for free or for a fee, except friends. The only times I farm now are to PL myself, since I have so much inf and drops by just playing the game with my 50's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShardWarrior Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 7 hours ago, Bentley Berkeley said: I say frack off to anyone charging for PLing. If it seems to become a growing trend I will once again push for an auto level 50 option at P2W which Id much prefer over seeing people exploiting others in game for such an option. The inference of "exploit" you're attempting to use here is a totally false one as there is no one taking unfair advantage over anyone. If someone has the in-game financial means and feels the service they are receiving is worth the price they are paying, then there is no exploitation whatsoever. Someone is getting power levelled to 50 if they are using P2W or another player. The end result is the same, so I do not see the perceived problem here.

SeraphimKensai Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 If they offer their services at a price and that price if agreed upon by a potential customer then to each their own..no one is forcing that person to pay for that service they are choosing to accept the terms and conditions established by the person offering services.
