I can't seem to stay interested in any one character.

I have been playing this game for not that long, maybe 2 months, but I have already racked up 11 characters and if you count deleted characters that number jumps to close to 20. Because of all these characters, the average level is around 10, and many have over 30 days offline. I doubt there would even be a solution to this, but if by chance anyone else has had this problem and solved it, please tell me! 

 

 

You are obviously on the correct path! Do not turn away!

I don't think the words "problem" and "solution" were what I was going for here. What I was trying to say is that I want to play new content, or in the case of the more story-rich Praetoria (Which is mainly what I play), the full story and lore. I am worried that if I keep playing the beginner areas/experiencing the same stories, I will eventually lose interest. 

 

Here's the trick.

Content is new not only when you play it the first time but when variables change.

 

If you think up a good character conception, make the character. Rotate ones you play! Feel like a blaster today? pull  out a blaster. Feel like "Batman" bring out that sneaky scrapper or stalker! Breath that fresh air of creativity.

 

But what really gets me - in addition to the creativity of creating characters and playing them from their point-of-view - is teaming.

And I'm talking about PUGing more than playing with a fixed supergroup team.

 

Sure I play with a few in a supergroup. We start out with a basic theme, create characters based around that theme, and level up together.

Fun enough, things change as we level up, group dynamics and tactic change.

 

 

But a PUG! Oh, a glorious PUG!

People that you may or may not have gamed with before. A hodgepodge of powers. People that actually want to work together as a team, and renegades that aren't paying any attention to what the other players are doing. Are you going to help the cohesion of the team? Are you going to increase the chaos?!

What one might think is the same-old-same-old content turns into something entirely different.

 

But then I have over 176 characters at this point ... I better go update my spreadsheet ...
