Did some casual reading pre-Beta Close Event this evening, and discovered that, hey, that giant aircraft would take us back to Millennium City and there would be special trainers who would bump up to 40 for the Big Destrobot Blow-Out.<\/p>\nDid some casual reading pre-Beta Close Event this evening, and discovered that, hey, that giant aircraft would take us back to Millennium City and there would be special trainers who would bump up to 40 for the Big Destrobot Blow-Out.<\/p>\n
So we did — CPO Sharon (Gadgeteer) and Fineas (Sorcery), and we went ahead and leveled up to 40 and power populated to 40 and …<\/p>\n
… well, we were defeated a lot. But we also helped in knocking down several of the Giant Robots, as well as various ground troops of Dr. Destroyer. So that felt good.<\/p>\n
(Margie notes that CO handled it as a level-up, vs. CoX events where all opponents are basically Bosses to you no matter what level you are. It’s not clear to me whether or not that was intentional so as to let people take all those Level 40 powers.)<\/p>\n
We also ran a Level 40 Sewer Mish, just to see how that worked. (Answer — not very well, largely because it was really unclear how some of the powers worked — e.g., all my “bot” powers.) We eventually made it through with many Defeats and the help of my Orbital Laser (yes, in the sewer — it’s that powerful). It was living proof of the danger of “PL MEH!” — you end up with big powers and no understanding of how to use them.<\/p>\n
As Margie noted, the Big Event didn’t really give you a good sense of what it’s like to be Level 40. Grinds against giant opponents, or dealing en mass with human (or robotic) wave attacks isn’t the norm. Thought it was fun, in moderation. I can now say, “I was there.”<\/p>\n
So closes the Open Beta (it’s actually been extended to 5PM Tuesday, to make up for server problems earlier today). CO opens for business on … 1 Sep? Though it is open for “early play” (if you do something or another) on Friday.<\/p>\n
I’ll actually be happy to take the rest of the week off. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
Final verdict: it seems likely (pending a chat with Margie) that we’ll up for a 6 month sub. The CO folk warn<\/a>:<\/p>\n Due to high demand, we\u2019ve only got 1000 Lifetime subscriptions and 500 discounted 6 Month subscriptions left, so make sure you grab them before it\u2019s too late! You can check out our current offers at our exclusive specials page<\/a>. Once we\u2019ve run out of 6 Month subscriptions, you\u2019ll still be able to purchase them, but at their standard price of $77.94 (that\u2019s a savings of $12 from the normal month to month rate). There are no current plans to offer another Lifetime subscription plan, so if you\u2019ve been on the fence about it, now\u2019s the time to buy it!<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n We’ll see.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Did some casual reading pre-Beta Close Event this evening, and discovered that, hey, that giant aircraft would take us back to Millennium City and there would be special trainers who would bump up to 40 for the Big Destrobot Blow-Out.
