Snarky Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 (edited) Things were off to a strong start. I was meticulously and methodically clearing each level range. I finished 15-19 yesterday and leveled to 20, stopped experience. There are a few contacts at 20 red and blue. I did red, then went to do blue. Shauna Stockwell and Eagle Eye are listed in HC Wiki as 7-20. A damn lie. Shauna is not available at 20 and she introduces Eagle Eye. There are a lot if strange things Blueside. If I ever attempt one of these runs again I will probably do Blue from the first level they are available and not the last. They are complicated, futzy, and each contact follows its own rules that are not always documented correctly on wiki. Takeaways…. This is an incredibly strong character that I have fallen in love with. Ice Dark Corruptor is great at low levels and coming into 20s picks up steam and starts taking shape. This will be my main going forward. I will rant more about its greatness in other threads I am sure. From here I will run each TF/SF/Trial in mostly level order. Then 50, incarnate and continue. I will set up an alt build for low level Ouro badges starting in level range order, completing, then updating the build for next level range. Due to exemplar rules 50s are odd when squished and I find the builds rely on procs and odd mechanics more than getting a damage power enhanced to a normal level. Which is surprisingly difficult. I will probably start a discussion about that in a week or so and seek input. Cyas in the city on the shiny new Snarky!

DougGraves Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 I have found several places where a contact is listed to a 5 or 10 but only goes to a 4 or 9. What seems to be the case with them is that they have a contact to introduce at the 5 or 10 but no missions. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clave Dark 5 Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 Maybe you should prioritize blue/red on different characters? I'd also volunteer you for Wiki duty to clean up those problems - who else would know better than someone doing everything? - but I've encountered things like that as well, and am I working on the Wiki? Noooo... Bit jealous of the character really taking off like that; my latest, a Dom, as usual only seemed to bloom in the upper 30s once slotting fell into place, but as that was a bespoke build, that might just be my fault. 1 ╔═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ 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.

They are really fun and there's great power synergy between the sets. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ranagrande Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 Yeah, I don't really trust the level ranges on the wiki. Like the lowest level origin contacts outside of city hall are listed as 5-14, but I remember them capping at 9. Did they change that sometime? I'm not doing everything at the minimum level on my current run, but I did do Shauna's and Eagle Eye's arcs at 7. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shauna is not available at 20 and she introduces Eagle Eye. Yeah, I've been frustrated with that repeatedly. I'd very much like to see the next contact (Eagle Eye in this case), unlock and remain unlocked after I acquire the phone number of the first contact (Shauna). So if it takes extra levels, I could still do the second contact without having to run to Ouroboros to handle it. And, of course, have the contact I'm currently working with continue to level up with me until I clear all missions, but I realize that's very wishful thinking.

Luminara Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 Neither of them have filler missions, and they're both available as Flashbacks, so you could've continued. 1 Get busy living... or get busy dying. That's goddamn right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xalon Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 I was going to do the same thing. One hero and one villain. But there are missions/contacts listed at certain levels that are off in wiki, depending on how long you take to get to that part of contact mission and when mission is started. So I'm just leveling normally and doing all I can and then I can go back for any arcs I missed and complete them through Oroboros. As much as I want to experience all content, I don't want to miss one mission and then it throws everything out of whack and have to do it all over again. Maybe I'll go slow on different characters and just do a 5 level or 10level bracket perfect so after a few characters, it'll add up to have seen everything. Points for the attempt though. You got further than I did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
