All of the terminals and challenges are the same from level 20 on up. LQ's at least get you into story mode sometimes and you can complete nearby quests, but X-Defense seems to be BOTH the best exp and the best loot. The main benefit to being max level is that you start getting gear that you may never replace.<br /><br />("I don't like playing this character but I want his synergy bonus" is a valid response, and was the main driver of me riding X-Defense into the ground to get Hawkeye from 30 to 50 this weekend.)

I try not to burn out on any one.<br /><br />As I mentioned on Twitter or somewhere, I usually stick to Legendary Quests for leveling. I have two reasons: 1. the speed; 2. that it mixes things up, keeps things fresh. The other night, I was bouncing between terminals, MM, the Holo-Sim, and Chapters 3 and 4 of the story. That is how I like it, good loot drops or no.<br /><br />As for missing bonuses in the Story Mode, you can go back and complete previous chapters after you have hit max level. Sounds like a chore, but on my 60 Wolverine, I ran back through Heroic Mode and got all of the important bonuses (power points, +Health/Spirit, Retcon) in about 15 minutes. It appeared that all of the hubs were unlocked for me at 60. Not sure if that was because I completed the story on Superheroic or not.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-826986957606858027.post-50705390139656423812014-03-17T20:17:31.506-04:002014-03-17T20:17:31.506-04:00I only do story mode on a char if I am going to us...I only do story mode on a char if I am going to use it as a main at endgame and therefore need the extra power points/health/spirit.
