I really wish ya'll were on PS3. Now that I've got so much money our league would have a lot of resources. The League I'm in has about $12.83B collectively (my net worth went up an additional $180M last night to a total of $517M after some purchases of new equipment, loans, etc, and I have another $400M+ worth of items to sell, and I'm the 9th richest member of our league). I could bankroll a KMC League comfortably with $50-70M. Repairs and sodas would never be a burden again.

I hear you man, I've done all the raids in the game now and have a pretty huge bankroll myself. Just an fyi you guys can get higher tier recipes in tier2/3 raids as rewards.

PR I sent you a link since I couldn't recall if I could link directly to sony on the forums with a map showing you where you can collect exobits.

The exobits are placed randomly around the cities like the briefings/investigations/collections tokens. They look like glowing cds. You have to collect a bunch of them, combine them, and place them on your gear to gain additional buffs. I'm going all in for precision, vitalization, and defense.

What about Power, doesn't that enable your powers to last longer before they run out? Or is that vitilization?

Power gives you a bigger pool of energy to pull from. Vitalization increases the rate at which that pool replenishes. For example, if I had 3000 power and my vitalization was only 50, I could likely use 5-10 power attacks before I was completely drained and had to wait about 1-3 minutes for my power to replenish fully, left with only my weapon to fight. On the flipside, if I had only 1500 Power and 300 Vitalization, I could use my power attacks 4-6 times and only have to wait about 10-30 seconds for my power to replenish fully for more use. I think the healthy medium is about 2500 power and 175-250 vitalization. Gives you a bigger pool for more attacks, and replenishes fast enough to not leave you hanging in a fire fight.

MF summed it up there but keep this in mind: weapon combos> all for power regen unless you have a controller around filling your bar.

Yeah! Hit level 30 last night with my fire tank 😱

Already have 4 marks of victory and a combat rating of 29... Now I can start working on my daily missions to get that nice gear 💃

I've got my Gladiator's CR Rating up to 45 with 42 skill points. I re-spec'd my skill trees to add more critical strike, might, and dominance buffs, focused my gear on precision, and have equipped precision, might, and vitaliztion Exobyte mods. Took my rebuilt Kallark on a test run though the Penguin Challenge Mission and was pleasantly surprised at how dominant I was. That level is usually ridiculousy hard (mainly because Penguin and Pengbot Maximus are insanely overpowered). Previously I would get dropped at least 4 times going through the level. Now I can get all the way through to Penguin with the use of 2 Soder Cola Extremes, and can drop Penguin buy just running to 3-4 orange health barrels (sometimes up to 7 if he spams the stun and flame thrower back to back).

cool my healer is at 63 cr and 60 sp it gets a bit boring healing but gear is easy.

Yeah. I prefer the hybrid DPS/Controller role personally. It fits my style of play best since as a mental or tech you have some good crowd control options and I like to take a point guard/leader role in groups. I haven't really put in much work on my tanks yet (I made Bishop a fire tank, and Ronan an ice tank).

I'm thinking about also making Holocaust but I'm not sure on how to make his appearance look right. I was actually thinking about making a personal league called "Horseman of Illpocalypse" that would just be a stable for my Apocalypse related toons. I think I'm gonna make Sinister, Holocaust, Stryfe, Archangel, War Hulk, Death Wolverine, Caliban, Mikhail Rasputin, and Exodus. From that group I'll have three mental characters (Sinister/Stryfe/Exodus), 4 tanks (Holocaust/War Hulk/Caliban/Mikhail), maybe an ice DPS (Archangel), and Wolverine will be a Nature healer. I'll just ally my stable with the villain side of the league I'm in.

Hey once you create an exobyte how do you then use it too boost your equipment? I just created a support exobyte but don't know how to add it to my gear.

You have to buy/acquire mod plans. The vendor near the R&D station sells entry level plans, as well as some good T1 plans that cost 25 Marks of Triumph. The best plans are dropped in the T1 and T2 alerts and Raids, but you can also get them from Challenge Missions as well as rare collection pickups. Once you have the plans and components you go the R&D workstation to create it, then place the piece of gear you want to put it on in your inventory, place the mod on the gear, apply, and re-equip. Just make sure you match the mod with the socket to get the most bang for your buck. Color matching gives good CR bonus.

I'm on the EU PS3 PVE server - anybody else? I have a level 30 fire dps/tank with 32 skill points and a cr of 36 - would love to have somebody from kmc to play with - especially the duos!

I think I've done all that I just don't seem to be able to add it to my gear. I know you have to match colors as well.

Basically I bought a couple of plans, turned exobits into exobytes and now they're just lying around in my inventory. Whats next?

At the vendor next to the RD station you can buy whatever you need. The plan will need x bytes of a certain colour as well as the card or program or whatever you call it that you can buy at the vendor. They are cheap and you need one each for each mod you create. Sorry I cant remember the name of the things you need but they are the first three items listed at the vendor - first level ten then twenty etc...

After you make the exobytes you have to make the mod you're going to apply. If you scroll down the list of items you can make in the R&D station at the bottom will be the lists of mods which can be created (Alpha level, Beta Level, and then I through III assuming you have the plans). Creating the exobytes in of itself is just the 2nd step after collecting the exobits. You still have to craft the actual mod.

Here's some screen shots from some recent league gameplay:

Gladiator at Strykers about to do Toyland missions for marks.

After I'm done.

Me and a league mate [his toon is Monica Rambeau]

We flew over to the Midtown Nightclub and stomped more villains, then took another pic [Left to right: Gladiator (Me), Archangel, Deadpool, Monica Rambeau, Wolverine]

New update seems pretty good when i do Raids my group has to wait a long period of time just to get a healer this happens frequently. Also whats up with the drops during raids? It seems like it targets one role for the loot drops?

It does seem that the DPS/Non Role drops are more rare, but that's just because it's always 3:1 chance to be one of the other roles. All characters are dual roled so if you're a fire/ice, you can still grab the tank gear though you're in DPS mode, just be sure you have that worked out going in and don't step on other people's toes (establish at the gate that you'll need roll for role specific gear [role you're in], and greed role for gear that's not for your role in the group, or gear that a person doesn't necessarily want for there role and is available in loot. Communication is key.

In other news, got Gladiator up to combat rating 54 and into Central City. Am I the only person that feels like Central City is an incomplete map? It just looks off, under populated, and it's small as hell (the entire city is smaller than Little Bohemia). It's also extremely easy to get Marks of Momentum. I hope Themyscira is more fleshed out. I also hope the rumors of space missions and Orion/Darkseid/Apokolips missions are true.
