To Power Level Or not to Power Level... - City of Heroes Forums

That...is the question.

I made an ALT that I'm just inlove with (Sort of a Batman Rip). But I've been threw the low level missions about 30x's now. I've been threw the FrostFire mission so many times he knows to just lay down and surrender when I enter the door...So I ask this.

Do you think it's ok to PL a character in my situation? If so, how does one go about Pl'ing and how is it done...

Aside from the occasional SG team ups I'm generally a Solo oriented gamer. Hell, I've never done a task force yet...

Anyhoo, what ya think...opinions on PL'ing?

I don't mind PLing. I don't think it hurts the game for other players.

I don't moind powerleveling and sometimes help do it.

Here's what to do:

Go to PI, to Portal Corp and ask for a PL, usually people won't just give them out so a bribe is sometimes needed. If you are 41-46 you can say "Level whatever, Looking to middle for herders", you'll get a team in no time.

On Virtue? (I'm sure some people from the boards would help) Or other server? (Might still be able to team with people from the boards...)

(As for ways to PL...I'm not sure if we're allowed to post on that...)

(Although, an EFFECTIVE leveling method, is to get an eight member team, and do the highest levels at invincible...not exactly free xp...but it does come fast...and unfortunately, if the team is bad, so does the debt...)

Well, since all of you seem ok with this, could anyone help me with a low level controller I have, I want to play him out, but I want or need a travel power to get him going so any help from 7 to 14 (on Virtue) would be great.

I've got nothing against powerleveling as long as you've been through most of the content for the first time.

Some arcs are worth revisiting, however, there is no reason at all for you to have to do every single one of them over again.

Pretty much agreed here, I'm at the "Sweet spot" for bridging ATM as well...the requests do get somewhat annoying, to the point I had to add in a "No bridges" comment to my search screen.

Now that I'm 41 I don't bother. I plan to get to 50 through arcs and missions galore so it actually feels like I've done something. Though in this case it's fine. I plan to do the same thing with an ALT after Yin hits 50.

I know what you mean. I level Veikira threw missions and street justice about 99.3% of the time.
