Quote:I decided to cut out AE because I deem it too convenient for the challenge. While I do recommend legit AE to people looking for good arcs to run (and I do this on other characters), it's just something to make my challenge a bit harder.Originally Posted by BackFire
Why did you eliminate AE content? There's plenty of legit arcs, filled with standard characters & challenges you can play. Limiting yourself to 'no Farms' sounds inline with your goals, but all of AE?...that's throwing the baby out with the bathwater.
Also, if you open yourself to AE possibilities you can use my arc, "The Crafter's Cafe" #487283, to craft your temp powers at AE and it won't give you a lick of XP but it will save you on all that travel time getting to and from the Uni/RWZ/Base crafting tables. Plus, tickets will make getting salvage a lot more feasible without the need for twinks from your alts.
Good luck on your challenge and don't forget to grab even more temp power attacks & defense via Ouro! -
Well, unfortunately, I have to cut Day 1 short at level 7, as I have real life to attend to. It was still fun, and I actually didn't get kicked from the team I joined. Stay tuned for tomorrow!
-
Well, I made my first mini goal - level 6! I picked Boxing, since it will forever be better than Kick, and I'm heading to Kings Row now.
-
Yes, I'm on Virtue, and just joined my first team, actually. I picked Willpower as my secondary to follow the theme.

I'm pretty sure you can craft stuff before level 10. You can't run the Invention tutorial missions, but a level 2 can walk into a Library and craft.

Quote:I'd have to wait until level 10 to craft the recipes regardless, but yes, I plan on buying recipes.Originally Posted by Oldeb
Are you not using temp power recipes or only using ones that drop on the character? Otherwise why not send yourself several temp recipes and the salvage for them before level 6?

DAY 1
---
I made the character today, of course. I chose to start in Outbreak for an easy way to level 2. Yeesh, my power bars look pretty empty. The only powers I'll have until at least level 6 are brawl, blackwand, nemesis staff, sands of mu, and throwing knives.
Hopefully I can make it to at least 6 by the end of today. -
So, my bad idea has come to fruition, and I dub it The Determinator challenge.
As you can see, I have a daunting task ahead of me. I have to get this guy from 1 to 50 using just temporary powers, secondary powers, and pool powers. Feel free to join me as I update this thread at least weekly. And feel free to give it a shot as well.
-
Well I'd like to keep at least half of my hair by the time I'm done playing.
Anyways, I'm officially starting this challenge as soon as I get home from school. Pardon my lack of time zone conversion, but that's 3-ish pm Central time. -

No powers from Secondary (including shields)

If I can add in to the pool, I have absolutely no clue who most of these contacts are, and I've been playing since i2.

I ran 2 task forces today, so I have approximately 82,491 temp power recipes I'd be happy to donate to the cause!
Oh, and one Tempered Readiness recipe.

Quote:Will do! I need a name though.Originally Posted by Electric-Knight
Agreed.
And I've seen some people mention similar ideas before and it has made me consider doing something along these lines, but I never have.
I've heard of a Blaster AR/Dev going for it, mostly just using the devices, hehe.
Go for it!
And post updates!!

Quote:Well, since I mostly got the idea from Ajax brawling and kicking his way to glory...Originally Posted by Necrotech_Master
hmm, if you were going for a pure natural themed toon you cuold use brawl and power pool powers such as jump kick, air superiority, and fighting pool attacks for when you have no temps
sounds very interesting though -
So, I was taking a look at all of these new temporary powers that were placed in the Invention system. They all look like they're really good secondary powers.
So I just had the worst idea ever.
What if I were to raise a character from 1 to 50 using just temporary powers created through the invention system, veteran powers (for when I run out of temporary power charges during a mission), a secondary armor of my choice.
This would be rolled on a Scrapper so I can have decent survivability.
So here's my question to you.
Should I include the attacks from Fighting in this challenge?
-
Quote:No, I was too busy raging and whatnot to think about replying. I just took it as another mindless farmer, and made sure to change my arc descriptions accordingly.Originally Posted by Zamuel
Did you reply to him/her and let them know it wasn't a farm? Also, instead of sadness you should try anger and rage.
-
There should be labs. Don't know about the offices.
-
My arc is not a farm, it's a challenge arc, although it seems that the farm mentality got my arc a 1 star rating and pushed that far down the list. If you read my other thread, I try my best to get my arcs out there, and this is a stifling defeat for me. -
Except that every single pet for every single MM is different*. The effectiveness of MMs come from the flurry of attacks coming from their pets.
*-Necromancy gets the shaft here, obviously. -

This is... some kinda irony, isn't it? The only reason they are pathetic is the sheer number of speed runs that were done before Merits were introduced.
And even after merits were introduced, Double XP Weekend brought upon teams of level 50s that would speed Katie TFs for hours on end due to the massive inf/time ratio. -
Quote:Nah, I was thinking something more like summoning a mass (of... something) that melds onto the player (more than likely going to be a black mass) and then the mass disappears, revealing the player in the new costume.Originally Posted by AzureSkyCiel
But how could we go about that.
And don't say Doppleganger tech since I REALLY doubt that would work for this.
Edit: Also PALETTE SWAAAAAAAAAAPS! -
I can barely see it. It's too dark. I can tell it's a Crab Spider, but that's it.
-
/signed, because I find that a lot of recipes are named differently than their IO counterparts, so just removing (Recipe) doesn't work.
-
Actually, this gives me an idea, what about rocket-powered shopping carts as a travel power?
-
Edit: Just realized what the thread is about.
Yeah, go the 75% fire. The debuff on Reactive is nigh worthless.
