what to do at lvl40

[Archived Post]

so assuming that i have done all of the lairs (except andrith), what else is there to do PVE? take down cosmic mobs is an option but kili and qwjt (the big gorilla) have been done, the other cosmics require a zerg.

any PVE lairs that give loot in the end? any other PVE cosmic lvl mobs?

i would PVP but i need a retcon but then PVP atm seems to have no objective.

Off-topic: Andrith isn't a lair. It's a hell hole.
Can you tell I've done this yesterday? *still grumbling*

Sub up for another game and come back to this one in a few months. That's what I'm doing. It will be out of beta then too.

yep reason why i never tried andrith. a guildie or two tried it and it was definitely a hellhole. plus they left their char in the place (to avoid getting another crystal) as a bug stalled their progress.

so there are no other lairs to do in this game? no gear grind? so how do ppl min/max gear/stats? from what i have seen, the items via crafting aint that great. NOTE: i am not complaining that the lack of a gear grind - seems to be good but i wanted to confirm that most of the people playing are running around mostly in quest gear.

are the UNITY missions worthwhile ie are the quest rewards must haves?

thanks for the inputs.

Besides Andrith, I think there's also the Mandragalore, but I have no clue if anything worthwhile drops there - I'm still about half a level away from 40, myself. Aside from that, the UNITY mishes award you with merits which are spent on gear, most of which being ungodly expensive. Another thing you can do for gear is to run nemesis mishes every six hours for nemesis tokens. If you aren't unlucky, you should be able to get a piece of the nemesis gear every other day or so, assuming you play your cards right.

Mandra is as bad if not worse than Andrith. The last room is bugged in that the adds like to stick to the door, and random ones will only attack you if you try to use the cannon beyond the first time.

I honestly don't think either lvl 40 lair has worthwhile drops. Blue items are the best you get for ALL THAT EFFORT. It might be good to do them if you're enough of a completionist to get as many perks as you can. But, even then, you're talking quite a bit of effort in either case. The team has to be prepared in equipment, powers, and just knowing how to play.

As for the UNITY missions, they can be fun as long your Overwatch doesn't bug out and gyp you of Hotspot missions. The best are the Special Assignments, but those only come along a couple times a week it seems like. To top it off, Merits don't drop as fast as many of us think they should, so it would take 3-4 months to save up for a 1000 point purchase from UNITY as opposed to a 1000 point purchase from the Nemi vendo, which can take maybe 1 month.

Then there's PvP. I never was a fan of that, even when I finally managed in City of Villains to get 400 Rep and hold it for a couple months. Even when I reached the 5000 kill achievement in WoW. So... my opinion in this matter might not be the best.

Yeah, we need more stuff for the endgamers to do
