My first 50 was an energy/ice, bit of an inside joke.

The MA 50's are a mixed bag, on one hand if you want a PvP toon, PLIng may be for you, also if you've played 20 or so toons to 50 and like the endgame (limited as it may be).

But then there are the MA babies. The new players who get PL'd result in clueless 50s. Off course there are also players with multiple 50s who are n00bz. The only logical conclusing is PUGs rhymes with drugs so- friends don't let friends do PUGs.

It will be interesting to see if the devs ever announce/detail "how fast is too fast" for two reasons.

1. To see their measurements/metrics for it/what not

2. See the reactions of people complaining that they are too high

If the devs ever did come out and detail it, which I doubt they will, I'll take a stab at it and say that it should take a person about 70-100 hours to get from lvl 1 to 50. The fastest I've gotten to lvl 50 was when the VEATs were released and my sgmates and I did a full VEAT team and just ran through normal content and I got him to lvl 50 with around 77/78 hours. But that is with a full team knowing what to do/etc...so some new player not knowing what to do/where to go/where the best xp is/etc would take longer.

Granted the time for getting to lvl 50 could definitely go by faster because you could do "normal" (non-farmy) missions in the AE and have no travel time needed at all. I would be very surprised if the devs said anything less than 40 hours for getting to lvl 50.

I've gotten toons 1-50 in 30-40 hours play time without PLing but they basically lived on TFs 16-50.

You know it's kind of funny that Blizzcon is going to be shown on pay per view this year and they are giving in-game rewards for those who either watch or attend the con. They truly know how to milk every dime out of people.

They give standard land mounts at lvl 20, epic land mounts at lvl 40, and standard flying at lvl 60 in the next patch. down from 40/60/70.

Was discussing this with a semi-hardcore WoW player, he hated the idea because he had to work for it. I find this funny.

[/ QUOTE ]

This change really irritates the hell out of me. Bliz goes and pretty much hands crap out to players, makes leveling a complete joke, and then expects me filter through the inept masses to find the few worthy of bringing along to my raids? Thanks but no thanks.

I'd already burnt out on hardcore raiding(yes, I was one of THOSE people) and decided to come back here before hearing about the changes. Makes me even happier to be back home in Paragon City/the Rogue Isles.

Anyone who has an energy/ice can't be that bad.

I still have it on 1 (or maybe 2) toons. My main badge farming toon and a farming toon that accidentally badges.

[ QUOTE ]
New farming method if they were to increase the drop rate would be the same as rep farming for the 400 rep badge. Log in one toon, kill. Log in another, kill, every 5 min you cycle through your toons on your secondary account and start over.

No matter what you will not stop people from farming. All you do is end up costing the people that want to buy the farmed product more money while the farmers are stuck with less efficient methods and much higher profit per sale.

There is a much easier fix. Remove inspirations from pvp zones. This would slow down farming without hurting the casual pvper.

[/ QUOTE ]

Don't think inspirations will change anything. But as a followup to my earlier post the drop rate does need to be increased or supply will be retarded.* I for one intend to RP that PvP IOs don't exist anymore.


* diminished

I'm guessing the theoretical minimum time on this is in the 15-20 min range. Based on a balanced team pushing a bit hitting 25-30 consistently and prior TF speeds.

<QR>

I wasn't intending to brag merely pointing out the time differences that I've seen. We have yet to do a speed run, but dUmb as a whole tends to bring a balanced team with short attention spans and we are generally on TS/vent/skype, etc. so we don't spend time typing. If someone wants to run 3 hour RTFs, that's fine, not the team I'd roll on, but to each his/her own. I often prefer "casual" to "speed run" but your definition of casual may not be mine (e.g. a casual ITF is 45-50 mins for me).

TL;DR version- To each his/her own as far as play style, apologies for any accidental drama.

i12 had a new zone, albiet it's whole purpose was to level toons 35-50, er run the ITF.

Every issue could be like i15 and hold my interest, if they came out monthly.

Basically you can have 5 (maybe 6 but that's pushing it) rep valid kills in a 30 minute arena match. You gain no rep but it means you get to "roll to see if you get a PvP IO recipie" 5 times per 30 minute match rather that say 60. of course continuing to kill the same target while say AFK resets the rep timer so you can get 1 roll in reality unless you actively farm. It cuts out the farming without eliminating arena drops altogether.

Well played devs.

Major- what movie is your avatar from?

Gratz on getting the league going guys.

Just shoot him with the ghostbuster gun and he melts just like the end TF version. Did this last night. It added 2-3 mins to our run time but totally worth it.

I was referring to time to merits.

O Noes Slax has wandered into the (where am I?) er Guardian forums.

Ran the TF a bunch (8 or 9 times) slowest was 42 mins, all others under half an hour.

The one SF run took 1:22.

Doesn't quite prove devs hate villians but let's call it exhibit "S"

Because MMs need to be stronger in PvP...

We ran the Baracuda SF (the evil-Khaaaaan) in 1:22, first run. Who'd have thought the secret ingredient is a stalker.

Shard's too busy kill-stealing to post.

For a second there I thought you meant heroes, which takes about an hour with a good team or about an hour solo.

I kill stalkers all the time on my blaster and they suck because of that I think not.

[/ QUOTE ]

Any Stalker that gets himself killed in PvP did so because he put himself in a position that allowed that to happen. Any competently played Stalker needs never die. Any Stalker that puts himself in such a position is bad because he got greedy and/or impatient, or just thinks way too much of his own abilities.

You are killing bad Stalkers. You are a bad Stalker if you are getting killed. But don't feel too bad, the zones are full of them.

[/ QUOTE ]

LOLS. So you only come out when 1 person is on their lonesome? Ya you must be OMGAWESOMSAUCEOME. Give me a break you obviously think so mighty of yourself thinking someone is bad cause they pvp and die. Please stop talking now you have NO idea what your talking abuut.

[/ QUOTE ]

I have a PvP toon who has not died for a year, hasn't been to a zone or arena either, but that's because I'm the most pro ever on this toon.
