If you know anyone that needs a team let Funk or me know.
Thanks.

Agree with this, just stacked Confuse on the Riders, let them drain themselves then moved on, so nice.

I blame myself for this. I had to afk around 6 p.m. to do something and the extra FF would probably have helped a lot. Fire Tankers can get this done fine given enough +Defense and buffs. You all did very well though.

Gratz, scores?

Fulmens has pretty much nailed it but if I could addendum:

3. Sell drops at Market.

Try the Guides section for an overview of the powersets. There isn't a lot that can "nerf" your character, though some sets are definitely more support based than others.

Well, you're going to need to know your limits, whether or not you take Taunt, aggro limits, stuff like that.
Controllers are awesome. You have your status effects AND debuffs...AND buffs...so you basically are a key cog if you play your AT well. I tend to look for Controllers/Defenders/VEATs/Corrs (not in that order) when I build groups. Tankers are fine...but they tend to leave players underwhelmed outside of the Super Strength powerset. There aren't a lot of tasks (if any) where you go: "We NEED a Tanker." If you find it fun, go for it.

Tankers won't die a lot but they do meh damage. Controllers really take off once they get their second tier of buffs/debuffs and pets, so in the early to late 30s you're getting there. Tankers will have the advantage of early status proection, decent armors and high hit points...

Yes. Check out Wentworth's or the Black Market trucks. Don't get offset by sticker shock, because inf is trivially easy to make once you are level 50. Do drop by the Market section with an open mind and a willingness to learn for best results.
Freedom or Virtue for highest pop, any of the others for smaller pop but dedicated playgroups. Find out the global teaming channel for your chosen server, add it to your chat tab and go from there.

Well, they are tasty in a bisque...

Seriously, you'll find this will be one of the more relaxed communities around. People are friendly and helpful but if I can give one warning...don't mistake the game as "empty" if you see no one on the streets, as most people are IN a mission instance. Use the search feature and send tells for teaming.

There's challenging stuff in the game. Some of the top end TFs are challenging for pick-up groups, like the Statesman Task Force or the Lord Recluse Task Force. The thing is, this game is all about Force Multipliers. So if you have one Fire/Rad Controller on your team, woohoo! If you have eight you basically win the game. It's similar with other sets such as Cold Domination, Kinetics...heck even the buff sets get stupid crazy in multiples. Three Empathy on your team stacking Fortitude will make someone a killing machine...

...which brings me to the next point. Scrappers and Brutes are a good starting point for a new player, since they SMASH and are fairly survivable. As you try the different ATs, you'll find one that works for you. I started with a Mind/Bubble Controller and boy was it slow without Containment...but eventually it grew into one of my favorites.

A lot of the established supergroups run "Speed" or "Super Teams" that can triivalize stuff. Bring a Brute/Scrap, three or four Colds, some other stuff...just overkill everything in the game basically. The key thing in this game is that challenge = big boss with a ton of regeneration, damage and special attacks.
Some of the content is gated by levels, you can't do all the task forces at level 10, for example while other content is gated by mission chains.

Basically, just...play the game and see if you like it. You can worry about whether you want to go hog wild on an AT later on.

1. Be careful what you wish for on the stores. The current "store" is the Merit vendor, where you have to grind large numbers of arcs and TFs to get "the good stuff". If the Devs were to put in a store that sold high end gear, the work to get that gear would probably be longer than just earning it yourself or using it the market.

2. Fair shakes and prices are generated by the players. I got a Ragnarok Triple for 100 millionish, more or less, redside the other day. I just placed a bid and was patient. The key thing is, you really need to be 50 to generate large inf in this game, outside of cashing in Merits. On top of that, each player has a chance to get random rolls, random drops, selling their stuff...

3. As for your (somewhat confusing) point about lowest sale price going first, in this event I believe a RNG assigns the sale when people are tied, or it might go in first listed to last out, not too sure. But unless there is an extreme glut of items, you should be able to sell for something...

*chuckle*

This sounds eerily familiar. I share storage bins with a close friend...I generally do the earning these days but sometimes he does too. Inevitably, one of us will impulse slot without telling each other, leading to bemused looks and endless frustration...

This is going to happen before GR, so no worries there.

Yeah, I'm in.

Rad/Sonic or Ill/Rad could probably do a good job.

On the topic of the Bat/tarps, if you want until August 17 you can roll one on Praetoria and exit in Paragon, pretty sure...so that may be an option.

You're like Mother Teresa and Donald Trump rolled into one.

We are blessed to have you among us, Elf Stalker.
