For a game that initially billed itself as "enjoy the journey, not the destination", the devs added precious little in the way of alternate leveling paths. How many times can you run westside, the desert, or canada, before you get sick of it? One once you hit 30, it's MI and maybe Lemuria. Yes, they added Vibora Bay, but it comes too late and the missions are way to tedious and repetitive.

What they should do is make Vibora accessible at 30, revamp the missions there to be more streamlined, more rewarding, and level appropriate for 30-40 characters. Keep the existing VB crisis, but make it optional, and add a much more streamlined VB Crisis as a 30-40 repeatable mission (for Questionite) much like the MI and Lemuria crisis became.

Revisit parts of MC that aren't really used and make them fun and rewarding areas w/ their own story arcs - perhaps wrap up what happened to Poe after his defeat by our heroes and possibly bring back Hi Pan after the Death Dragon incident.

Make use of the Oasis section of the Desert - perhaps it could involve Nocturne leading a group of DEMOn in prepping for the events of Demonflame.

Make all lairs award Questionite for completing them, and have them on diminishing returns w/ a 24 hr reset.

This I completely support.

And this as well.

People play the game the way they choose not how others say they should play it.

And thats just grand.

I'd like this to be fixed first.

AP/CS are actualy OK XP, but problem is it's 'one' mission compared to 'can do 10+ mission in open worlds at the same time' or '2-4 min alert that counts as 2-3 regular missions'.

I'd leave most things the way they are, but boost final XP of AP/CS and maybe XP of final, story arc based regular missions (especially 5-man missions).

Or they can learn that you can level with just sing their energy builder. No really .. doimg some smashs
is easier than most solo content doable even with a totally disfunctional build.

Except that the way i'd like to play it is to be able to sidekick down to a lower level while doing the missions my level is now so far above at those times when i'm running solo.

Given the not very great ROI this game gave to Cryptic (they had to change to F2P just to survive), it's really obvious that not enough dev time or manpower is devoted to the game to allow for creation of entirely new zones. Even the edits to the existing zones when they redid the early leveling scheme retained much of their structure.

As far as "repetitive", the only egregious sin this game commits is too many fracking instanced missions, something its predecessor did wrong too. Not every piece of content can be a unique snowflake with unique mechanics. Kill X of Y is a standard MMO quest for a reason, it's easy to justify ("Those dudes are Bad Guys, off em pleez") and even easier to actually code.

Disagree. I have carried too many alerts, often filling in as both tank and dps and on squishy ATs to boot.

Sure, some people learn to team better, but the typical result appears to be 40s that don't learn much at all, and Grav is a shining example.

EH I dont see any conflict with my statement? You want to sidekick down to do mission your level harder. Well thats how you want to play and thats just grand also.
