Yomo Kimyata Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 Under level 30 or so, every additional power is exciting and new. It's like being a little kid and opening your Xmas stocking and getting toys and candy. Over 35 or so, every additional power is helping you round out your character, probably with additional survival skills. It's like getting pairs of socks in your Xmas stocking. The question is: are you the type of person to get mad that the socks aren't candy, or are you the type to say, "You know, I really do need a new pair of socks!" 2 1 Who run Bartertown?

Unless it is a “project” with specific low level goals I farm a toon to high 20s to low 30s. Then I respec them frontloaded for exemplar activity. Then I start Posi 1,Posi2, Synapse, Tarikoss,…. You see the pattern. This allows me to enjoy the toon on PUG teams, learning the powers as they come in. I earn some merits and have fun. Fun….like all the world is Saturday morning cartoon time! Get a couple application of 2x xp Booster after tutorial. Run DFB. If this does not get you to level 8 then run the first mission from Matthew Habashy. Run Posi 1. This should get you past level 11 Run Posi 2. This will likely push you past level 20. Run Synapse. Likely you will be around 24 or so. Run Yin. Likely you are now level 26 or so. No wasted time with farm and Task Force Commander is halfway done. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say this varies drastically by AT or even powerset - many armor sets, for instance, have "boring" powers, that while useful in that they are necessary to keep your character on their feet, aren't visually impressive or "cool", whereas on something like a blaster, every new attack is an opportunity to beef up your attack rotation or pull off some impressive feat... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I enjoy mine. 1) I have extra slots to throw at level 1-15 powers which make thrm useful for Posi 2) if I start the TF run at low 30s and do all red/blue I pretty much 50 just doing content i would do anyway 3) even with farming nerf hammered it does not take long to get a toon to high 20 low 30s 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snarky Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 Also, I encourage everyone to use my strategy of farming through the lower levels then running content. The recent changes make clear the Devs are not pro farm. So, it is everyone’s responsibility to farm as much as they can.

Greycat Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 On 12/20/2022 at 12:08 PM, Diantane said: I do get some characters that I really like to play to 50 and beyond, but most of them used to get to 35 or 38 and be abandoned (especially with sentinels because their "epic" powers are more like noob junk). With the new power change, this abandonment level is now 26 to 30 (depends if I really want the last secondary power or not). This means that in two days from creation, the fun is over for that character and have to look for a new one (currently have 99 alts on my server). OK, so what's the "fun" of the character to you? Is it just powers? Are yours not *characters* you play with others - or solo - to get their own story, reactions, etc? Is this lower-level "finished-ness" a problem to you? Or are you just musing? Just for a different perspective - Those of mine that get to 50 are the ones that "happen" to, basically. I enjoy them as *characters,* not powersets or numbers of slots or whatnot. Some stall out because they sort of belong in an area, or aren't just brought out as much. (More "guest stars" to the main storylines I have going. Or remakes of older characters that I already "know" and am redoing mostly for nostalgia, but since not everyone they were tied to are here, they level much more slowly.) Basically, for mine, 50's just a number they'll eventually reach. It's rare I have any sort of drive to get there (one was getting concentrated on *specifically* to do the incarnate mission arc in Cim, because who and what's fought there just fit her.) 1 Primarily on Everlasting.

MoonSheep Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 (edited) interestingly worded as always, though i do actually agree in my view CoH the game ends in the late 20’s. in the lower levels powers matter, ATs have some definition and teamwork is often required to complete missions and TFs after that it breaks off into 20 levels of button mashing where success is guaranteed, just get 8 people to mash those buttons i have two 50’s which i have played a crazy amount over the last three years on high level content which has been really fun, but nothing beats that old school CoH feel Edited December 22, 2022 by MoonSheep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeraphimKensai Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 @Diantaneis back in the house! The best Sentinel Epic is Psionic Mastery so you can take a procedure out Dominate and Mind Probe and make an attack chain out of those attacks as they'll typically hit harder than your primary attacks. Also it has Linked Minds. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diantane Posted December 23, 2022 Author Share Posted December 23, 2022 My current character is one of those few that I really like. He will definitely by going to the great beyond. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diantane Posted January 2, 2023 Author Share Posted January 2, 2023 (edited) Its a trade off. The blaster does more damage, but they're more like a glass cannon. Whereas the sentinel can sit back surrounded by its defenses and built in mez protection. Let's tally this up. I've got 6 blasters and 38 sentinels. None of the blasters made it to 50 and a few sentinels did. Which do you think I like better? Doing more damage with a character doesn't matter if you play on teams. The bad guys are going down no matter what. Edited January 2, 2023 by Diantane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
golstat2003 Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 I prefer the blasters. And I don't build blasters to be glass cannons. YMMV. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
