So many old 50s….

Recommended Posts

Most of my sig contains builds I rarely play. Although some like the Fire / Nature Corruptor get dragged out for specific TFs (Fire / Nature is my Tinplex specialist).

 

This is why all my builds have a cheap / midranged price build (which I build as I go from 22 up) and then a final build with purples & winters and stuff. Fairly rare that a 50 gets the Purps + Winters upgrade, although I admitted an Ice/Stone stalker to that roster a few weeks ago. Most of the time I'll rejig them slightly, maybe add 1-2 purples and upgrade their ATOs and they're good.

 Maybe I should start organizing them by AT and powersets?  Why why why did I duplicate Dark Dark Corr?   

So, first question...you can try, but sometimes the game sorts them out differently. You have to go into the file (just a text file) that organizes them and move them yourself in certain case. And sometimes, they stick where you put them. It's a crazy game like that. 

One thing you might do, since you have this badge focus - sort them by badge count. 


Second question: I can't speak for you, obviously, at least not with any credibility. I can only tell you why I have duplicate characters. First reason is because they were fun to level up, and I wanted to try for something new. In the case of a ice/ice blaster, I wanted to try to prioritize slows, rather than DPS. And candidly, I can barely tell the difference, except in the teen levels when certain mobs are more susceptible to slows for reasons that escape me. Another reason I have a duplicate character is I simply forgot I had it. 1000 character slots, 10 per page...that's a lot of pages to sift through to see if an at/powerset combo is already there. 

And in one case is when I tricked myself into thinking I was some kind of speeder. I made a blaster with specific powers for a specific task force. As much DPS as I could swing, and not a care or concern about defense or resistance because that would come from team & destiny buffs. And a few situational powers that ordinarily, I'm not in a situation often enough to justify it's selection. 

I'm sure others might even have more reasons. As for why you did...I can't judge you; I've made the same mistakes more than once.
