Nothing will ruin her enjoyment of the game like "Oh, we have to talk to this contact, to get this mission, to get this badge, to get this accolade, which will also require hunting here by X level, but I think I can set it up in a mere two hours of farming greys via mission resets, in order to be L33t." With its variants "Don't take that power, take this one, with this slotting, in fact I'll plan your build out and tell you which buttons to press when.", and "I'm going to spend an hour infodumping you with everything about how the game works before you start, free with bonus rants about the nerfs you've never heard of."

QFT

I showed my wife how to log in to the account and gave her the little manual that came with the box set and suggested she make a regen scrapper to start on since they are hard to mess up the build and they are a bit easier to level, IMHO. After that I shut up and let her ask questions elaborating only where absolutely necessary. I gave her some influence to ease out the start and she took off.

Now she has almost as many alts as I do and is dieing to get her first 50. She is enjoying playing so much I had to buy her a real gaming system with the tax return to match the one I use. A few weeks later I had to start a third account so she could team with our kids after school. I seriously think she may be more into CoH than I am.

Sydney is +16 from US Eastern Time. Brisbane is +15.

You forgot one player type. [u]The Avant Guard[u] almost fits the bill, but this person is not quite the same.

[u]The Not a Follower:[u] This person is never the Brute. He may be a Dominator, a Corruptor, or even a Master Mind. This person is Uber. He can take on the world single handedly. Almost, but not quite. He is the one who somehow manages to find a different mob to aggro than the one that the rest of the team is working on. After aggroing the mob and finding that his health bar is dropping faster than a rock in a vacuum, he will attempt to rejoin the group thus helping the team into yet another team wipe as well as another excuse for the [u]Time Manager[u] to exit.
