Tell your friend to run a Keyes trial without experienced players. That will be enough answer.

But like everyone else said, the Field Corp Analyst should solve the problem.

Agreed on two areas:

1) ITF is available, but fairly hard if you are new. My mind just went to ways to get him xp beyond being Pled.

2) It is harder to find teams with the new trials.

So if anyone needs me to help you learn more about the game, just ask. HA!

I had a funny experience last night. Before you blast me, I am giving myself the blame. I made a mistake, but here is what happened:

I am not a farmer, but sometimes I get bored and I pull out my fire/fire tank and farm in AE enough to get a gold recipe, then move on. I announced in Atlas that someone could join me (free, mind you). Two people jumped at it. We ran through three missions. One of the guys says, "My main toon is lvl 42; this toon is just for fun". I asked if he had any 50s and he said no. He said that he could never find a team (on Freedom, at that!).

So I said, "Do a bunch of ITFs. You can level fast and they are always happening"

He says, "What are ITFs?"

So I had him switch to his main (lvl 42). I hooked him up with a TF channel and explained how it worked. I did the entire Cimerora Arc for him as quickly as I could so he could enter Midnighters.

Even though I was running out of time, I organized an ITF and asked that we do a speed run. This is where we ran into our problems and where I take the blame. If I didn't have time, I should have just not done the TF. So my team is the 42 (with no IO, heck maybe no SOs) and a bunch of debuff.

Well, we get through through the first three missions, but I do most of the killing/work because my team is squishes (not because they were all bad players). There is a lot of death, if you don't include me. Another mistake, since I had been farming, we did the first mish on +4. Again, I do fine, but my team does not.

Anyway, the new guy, understandably, says he cannot take anymore during the 3rd mission and says he is going to quit. I try to tell him he would be done in like 10 minutes, but he says this is not for him, that he hates it, and "maybe we would do better if you didn't keep jumping around everywhere" (meaning he was upset that I was speeding it and didn't understand the concept).

I told him to quit if he wanted, and I wasn't really mad. Again, I could have trained him MUCH MUCH better. Our "not so successful" speed took about 55 min and I totally failed in helping him want to do another ITF.

Oops! So if you are the lvl 42, sorry. Seriously, I am supposed to go through fast and jump around on a speed, but I wasn't a great liaison to the easiest tf to use to level.

And to those who stuck it out with me. YOU ROCK.

This is helpful. Thanks to both of you.

Besides end reductions, what other enhancements are best (or recommended)?

Also, is there a demon that Hell on Earth *should* be cast on most?

Can anyone tell me if they know of any guides for Demons? Under the guides, there are none listed for Demons.

Thanks.

I tend to be slow on the news...what adjustments? Can you share a link so I can understand/catch up?

I have never done mids, even though I see it everywhere...maybe someday! LOL

Great, thanks guys.

I looked for this on the forums, but couldn't find it. For my dark tank, if I take CoD, how much defense does it actually add (unenhanced)? Thanks for anyone who could help.

I would appreciate anyone's help with these two:

1) I have seen the "farms" at +4/8. I have no interest in farming, but I wanted to test my abilities against these farmers. In other words, I would like to see how my toons can or cannot do those same farms at those levels. How do I know the ID number of a farm or two?

2) I created an arc when AE first came out (like most everyone). I actually think it is good and have gotten positive feedback, how do I get a couple of more people to try it without doing it in channels? (BTW, if any of you would be kind enough, it is arc ID 120433) I think I get a badge if two more people try it.

Thanks for all of the help in advance!

OK glad to know people agree. I thought I was losing my mind.

So you agree that ice is, in fact, a buffer? Or am I just crazy?

I joined a team looking for "buffs"...then promptly kicked and told my lvl 46 ice defender is NOT a buffer. Huh? Ice shields and extra hp are not buffs? What kind of buffs are teams looking for then, when they "want a buffer"?

(Keep in mind, this *was* on Freedom)

I barely stuck with the event during the first few episodes with the bounces back and forth in time. I wasn't interested and almost stopped...then it started ROCKING. I haven't watch the last episode yet, but it definitely got better and better.

If you are wanting to team, the best and easiest way is to get on one of the popular channels on your server. Search channels in the chat by right clicking and finding that option.

Also, if you want to level fast and don't want to be PLed, do task forces. It is the easiest way to have a consistent team for an extended time, to get xp, and to not spend so much time always looking for players. A bonus blueside is that there is an accolade power if you do the "main" ones (Posi, synapse, sister psyche, citadel, manticore, numina)
