This evening I got my second 50 after 75 months. Another scrapper, Itland (known from my global handle.)
What surprised me however was that I went through all of level 49 in a couple evenings, solo, and not at a particularly high difficulty either. (The guy I smacked in that picture conned blue. -_- ) I think it took as long for my Dark/Regen scrapper with an 8-man team, if not more so. Admittedly I had resting XP all the way this time, that wasn't invented the first time. But two (not particularly long) evenings soloing a lvl 48 portal arc? Has the endgame gotten much faster, or is Spines/WP just ridiculously overpowered?
Not that I am complaining really. I'm just curious (and wondering whether I should brag or if the rest of you breeze through lvl 49 in your lunch break...)
