MoonSheep Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 Have been working on my merit haul on my main for the last few years to become Scrooge McDuck's right hand man Turns out the amount of merits you can hold on one alt is capped at a lowly 10,000. Anyone else with reverse altitis incapable of playing multiple characters? I'm on the verge of finally making my third alt.. 2 If you're not dying you're not living Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mezmera Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 What kind of trash stash is this?! There's no Winter packs. Where's your stacks of Hero Merits? Scrooge McDuck would go to take a dive into your "treasure" and would break his neck in that kiddie pool of a stash you have there. 2 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Veracor Posted October 20, 2022 Share Posted October 20, 2022 Reverse-altitis player here. Did you know that Hero Merits also cap at 10,000 if you decide to convert 500,000 Reward Merits to them? And I would assume Villain Merits too, but I'm still working on that one. I'll consider rolling a second character when I have 10,000 of every salvage. 5 3 @Veracor - Veracor, Bio/TW Tanker on Everlasting. Retired raid leader.

TalynDerre Posted October 20, 2022 Share Posted October 20, 2022 Turn 'em into Hero (or Villain) merits - at a 50 to 1 exchange rate, 10,000 merits converts to 200 Hero Merits. Now you can get up to 10,000 Hero merits, or 5 MILLION merits (mwa ha ha). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clave Dark 5 Posted October 22, 2022 Share Posted October 22, 2022 Seems to me that stumbling over the fact you've capped treausre X means YOU'VE BEEN LOSING OUT ON REWARDS BECAUSE YOU CAPPED AND DIDN'T KNOW IT! I yell say this as a player who's frequently poor and scrounging across alts for another few million, I never let my reserves build up that high. 😃 Tim "Black Scorpion" Sweeney: Matt (Posi) used to say that players would find the shortest path to the rewards even if it was a completely terrible play experience that would push them away from the game... ╔═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ Clave's Sure-Fire Secrets to Enjoying City Of Heroes Ignore those farming chores, skip your market homework, play any power sets that you want, and ignore anyone who says otherwise.

Right, but 10,000 actual reward merits before tricks. Cool 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
