  1. Hmm. I didn't get ambushed at all.

    Followed the Drs. orders and went to Crey's Folly (risky idea).

    Completing the third costume slot mission and the aura mission solo netted me 1 bar of XP + 1 death.. darn Ritki portals.
  2. Why would they raise the cap? So you can grind out billiions of XP to get to 60? What's the benefit of leveling past 50? You'd need new powers and whatnot to make it worthwhile which cost time & money for Cryptic/NCSoft.

    It would be much better for them for you to just go buy City of Villians and play that.
  3. while in the middle of a large mission the defender decides that he must go to Icon right away to change from dark red pattern to a slightly lighter red pattern. Admits its his 7th time modifying his costume and he asks for influence to buy some DOs.

    One teammate decides to cleary spell out the options (i.e. lvl x door in zone A, lvl x door in zone B, hunt 15 whatevers in zone C). Nobody cares, so the team sits around for 20 minutes.

    Then, someone says "Back. What are we doing?" Someone else starts leaping up and down like a crazed rabbit.

    While hunting packs in a hazard zone the team's defender / controller / tanks asks for an end break. The fireblaster proceeds to run off and AoE the biggest pack of reds he can find. Winds up with red health, and starts screaming for heals. Shortly thereafter, he'll level and run off without saying anything to go train and add another 2 slots to hover.

    The scrapper you picked up hasn't yet put any slots into his attacks or his secondary's defenses, but he does have Hover and Aid Other 6-slotted.

    Teammate zones into the mission and then goes afk without telling anyone.

    Leader invites a team member who is 3 levels higher than everyone else then wants to do their mission cause it's bigger XP. You zone into the mission to find a sea of red and purple. Debt insues.

    Conversely, you're street hunting with a partner who is about your same level and they keep attacking packs of greens and greys while ignoring the whites and yellows.

    One teammate repeatedly asks "Do you think people are dancing in Atlas? We should go see."

    Team leader refers to you as an anything-bot (provoke-bot, heal-bot) or meatshield.

    Street hunting or in a mission where there are many packs close together. Team defeats one pack, the leader moves forward 10 feet and says "here".

    Any my personal favorite -

    Someone on the team lols at everything. Sometimes they lol at their own lols, or just write lolz. Sometimes you can make fun of them, and they'll lol.

    You: "When we enter into the next room, let's focus on taking out stunners first this time so we don't all get held."
    Them: lolz. I'll aim for the minion gunner, lol
    You: "Well, half the team died last time from being stunned, let's get the stunners first"
    Them: lol. n00b. lolz.
    You: "Are you retarded?" (not meant as an insult to the mentally handicapped)
    Them. LOL LOL LOL !!!!!!!lol111oneone
    You: Seriously, what's wrong with you?
    Them: Lol lol LOL. Minions are teh suk. I wonder if anyone is dancing in Atlas
  4. Ok.. a few.

    1. If you're going for the Fitness pool (and mostly everyone does), take Hurdle or Swift at lvl 6. It makes getting around much faster. I'd reccomend Hurdle as you can jump over obstacles and save time.

    2. Remap autorun from R to something out of the way ASAP. This is the first thing I do when making a new character.. I use the ~ key personally. You can change it under the options menu - controls

    3. The best time to form a new character is an off-time. You won't have to fight will all the other lowbies for the limited spawns. I like Saturday mornings personally, I can level up to 6 very very quickly if I'm not competing against others.

    4. Enter a hazard zone 2 levels higher than the minimum. It will make things go more quickly.

    5. At lower levels hunting purples is mostly a waste of time. You miss too often and people tend to die easily.

    6. Unless someone shows me some mathematical proof, I'll state that at lower levels fighting blues and yellows is mostly the way to go.. go through them quickly.

    7. Occasionally you can superspeed through the trees in Perez. STand next to a wall of trees leading into the park, face parallel to the trees, and superspeed strafe, you should pop through the trees. It takes a little practice but it's a nifty trick.

    8. You really DON'T NEED a "healer". Defense > resistance > mitigation. Healers compensate for incoming damage as best they can (miitagion). Other types of defenders and controllers stop you from taking the damage in the first place.

    9. Don't neglect your defensive powers, even if they are only pools.
