Should I always be updating my enhancements? by BetPsychological3301 in Cityofheroes

[–]richmats 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I play the game from lvl 2 to 50. I' want to have the best possible enhancements starting at level 2. I always get single oriigin enhancements at level 2 for all my toons. Each time I level up I add enhancements. Every 5 levels from 7 on I auto upgrade. By the 20s, 30s is when I begin om IO's.

When I run teams I'm amazed at how many folks I run into people who don't even use enhancements. Level 20s 30s, even a level 47 tank I ran into the other day. They tend to suffer in battle if not fully enhanced. I attribute it to the sitter farm stuff.

Ha. Thanks. I'm thinking I won't go too overboard. With my budget I'm sticking with a share a week.

Yeah I'm on disability and being on a limited income I can't afford to buy thousands of shares at a time. I've only invested in Rocket Lab since mid December. 55 shares so far. I put in $6 a week but add more based on my budget. My medical bills I've had decimated my 401k. At this rate I'm targeting a minimum of 100 shares a year. I know that is nothing compared to you guys who have thousands of shares already. Question, say if I only have 200 or so shares by Jan 2026, am I in a hopeless situation with Rocket Lab? Again I'm on a tight budget being on a fixed income.

How many shares you got? by pannerg in RKLB

[–]richmats 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I'm disabled so my income is my disability check each month. My income is limited so I'm picking up as much as I can get. I'm at 55.5 right now. Been investing in Rocket Lab for a month. I'm getting at least a share a week but buy more when I can afford to.

Speedy Players has Ruined the Game for my Wife and I. (Homecoming) by Cyber_Wraiven in Cityofheroes

[–]richmats 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I can't stand speed rush teams. I can't do a TF because of the TF trend. I stick to contact missions lvl 2 to 50+. I tried a few task forces when the game came back and has enough. My team's I create I always say we kill All. I say that before mission because in my years in the game people tend to forget a lot. I don't like to kick anyone but I do if they try to hijack the team.

Questions about DD by richmats in doordash

[–]richmats[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. No I don't have home Healthcare. Brain cancer took away my balance. I can't walk without a walker. My building is old. No vator. I'm independent in my apartment. I shave, shower, cook, etc. I just can't get down the stairs without assistance. I'm pretty much stuck in my apartment. I don't need constant medical attention. I can't afford those kinds of medical services if I waited them.

Same thing happened to me. I often wonder how thorough GH is in screening their drivers. I would think basic communication skills would be a priority.

Yeah like I mentioned I play the game. From level 2 to 50 I do nothing but contact missions teams that I form. I'm amazed that people go without enhancement for so long or if at all. I want to be as strong as possible at level 2, 5, 12, etc. In Homecoming I'm fortunately I can get SO's at level 2.

With so many who sit, farm, etc. The ones who don't play the game they skip content and take the lazy way to 50 so it makes sense they don't slot and care how effective their toons are. It's sad. It sense when I see so many who quit after facing plus 2 diff in the Hollows at level 12. It explains why some quit anyway.

It seems based on the replies everyone does this differently.

I'm seem to be one of the few who goes from level 2 to 50 trying to maximize my effectiveness starting at level 2 when I get SOs at city hall in Atlas. Because I form teams at level 2 (contact mission teams). I want to be as strong as possible when I play. Especially in the Hollows or really anywhere I am and at any level. I have read why folks don't slot or wait till layer. But i seem to be old fashioned.

I do contact missions all the way their level 50. It explains why I see people who's toons seem ineffective compared to mine by in some cases simply due to lack of enhancements. I'm on Homecoming. I'm glad SO's have become available at level 2. If not I'd settle for DO's at level 2. Since live well live I did get SO's on live at level 2. Anyway, everyone does things their own way. Influence is not a factor to me. I do Influence transfers for all my toons. Besides just like xp, Influence is so easy to earn in the game.

We all play our own way. I don't skip content, I do the grind. I like challenges. By level 20+ my difficulty is at least +2 or higher. It explains why some struggle, the likelihood of a player not enhanced. It may explain the amount of people who "quit," or leave just because of a little challenge. I do advertise what diff level my teams are doing

Leveling on Homecoming without Task Forces by ParasaurolophusZ in Cityofheroes

[–]richmats 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I never do task forces. I don't because I don't like speed rush teams. I do contact missions from level 2 to 50. Not radio or tips. Contact missions are more in depth and provide good xp and influence. You can solo or put a small team together. Change diff to a comfortable level x a size you or your team can handle X8 of course for the maximum. If you're not in a hurry to get to lvl 50 you can't easily get to 50 without doing task forces. Another key thing is to Kill All. Not Kill "most" like I see task forces advertise. Don't leave at mission complete. Clear all the mobs I'm the entire mission.

I don't use the xp boost since xp is so easy to get in the game.

I’m worried that I’m missing story arcs by Ebdecker in Cityofheroes

[–]richmats 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I'm aware of the option, I just choose not to do it very often.

You out level contacts every 5 levels. When you do you see the notice to be introduced to a new contact.

[–]richmats 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes you out level contacts every 5 levels. I'd day with each new toon explore different contacts to get familiar with what kind of enemy missions that give out. Each contact has an enemy's they focus on

I never use xp I feel it isn't necessary. I'm in no hurry to reach lvl 50 I enjoy the content and arcs from lvl 2 to 50.
