    Fast leveling

    Being on a full team is indisputably the fastest way to gain XPs.

    I really don't get the (fairly) widespread aversion to actually Forming & Leading teams.

    Especially now, with SSK making it virtually painless!

    I can usually put a full team together from scratch in under 4 minutes...and I play at VERY odd hours.


    As Local_Man suggested;

    -make an Invite bind, <<<<<changes EVERYTHING

    -grab a bunch of missions so you can move quickly to next one after Mission Complete,

    -get cozy with the Search window,

    -Form Team,

    -Profit.
  2. We're getting the Vault with i-20?

    Sweet!


    *cups hands around mouth* HEY EVERYBODY BANSHEE SAYS WE'RE GETTING THE VAULT WITH I-20!!!

    I know your type...first one's free right? Then they get hooked and next thing you know they're /e panhandle-ing for AB under Atlas.

    For shame.
  4. Have you sifted through the Player Guides section? You might find some suggestions or examples of builds in an appropriate Guide.

    I followed one as I was leveling my Shield/Mace tank, and that bastige is tough-as-nails at 50. Started getting pretty tough in the late 30s. Now, at 50, he's unstoppable.

    The key, I think, as mentioned in other posts here, is to focus on hitting that Soft Cap at the expense of everything else (damage, endurance, recharge) as quickly as possible, THEN you can think about other aspects of the build.

    So Red - you're a mentor or a new player?

    (inside joke I actually asked Red that on N P C last night)
  6. VIDEO GAME-SALES
    NPD: September video game sales drop 8 percent
    NEW YORK (AP) -- In grim news for video game companies, market researcher NPD Group says U.S. retail sales of game hardware, software and accessories fell 8 percent in September to $1.2 billion.
    The NPD Group said Thursday game hardware sales tumbled 19 percent to $383 million, as fewer people bought Wii and PlayStation 3 consoles.
    Software sales were also down, even though Microsoft Corp.'s blockbuster "Halo: Reach" sold 3.3 million units.
    Game accessories, meanwhile, saw an uptick, boosted by Sony Corp.'s new Move motion controller.

    (Honestly I don't know that much about the Praetoria stuff - but I'm sure someone will be along presently to explain it all)
  8. May I direct you to Zombie_Man's comprehensive Guide to i18/Going Rogue? (<---linky)

    Thanks but I'll pass.

    I've eaten the stuff, that's as close as I ever wanna get to actually injecting it into my veins.
  10. Zombie Man does one not yet exist or is my search-fu failing me?

    Hi Base - I was just checking on Th Guardian's progress since I sent him over here from Player Questions.

    Just FYI an underscore "_" is not read by the game, it only serves to make actually reading the stuff easier. So you could use petsay_name or pet_say_name or petsayname or pet_sayname or p_e_t_s_a_y_n_a_m_e or however you find it easiest to read.

    Okay you and Mental Maden can share the coveted BaBs No-Prize.
  13. Best of luck to you Lone Hero!

    Is this departure significantly different than the one you announced a couple of weeks ago?

    Ultra Mode Help?

    Yep Mishii the uber-geeks who lurk in the Tech Issues & Bugs section eat these kinda questions for breakfast.

    I'd repost there or ask a Mod to move your post over.

    Mentor Project

    Potentially un-Mentory of me but I've been pretty much AWOL for a couple of weeks playing the newly-released Civ V.

    But wanted anyone interested to know that I'm back in play, at my odd, late-shift hours (1a-4a ET weekdays and "whenevah" on weekends) on Freedom @Cougarific.

    I generally make an announcement "Mentor Project mentor logging on" in N P C and sometimes Broadcast (if I log into a low-level zone), with instructions for joining N P C if sending in B-cast.

    Not seeing much activity on N P C in the middle of the night, but vampires, help is there if you need it!

    New players playing in the middle of the night - shout for help if you need it!
  17. Mental Maden you're making my head spinnaker.

    O wait you can't respec out of it can you it's a mandatory level 1 power isn't it.

    I just forget about it once I move it out of my tray (at level 4).

  20. Don't ask if those are U.S. Navy boats.

    Don't tell on them if they are. We're a very accepting community.
