AE is a pretty mixed bag. I strongly suggest looking through the AE forum here on boards for hints finding good missions.

A lot of pick up teaming with AE has come to mean farms, (many working as close to the exploit line as they can imo). So advertising for AE teams in broadcast is most likley getting that style of play. Need to join global channels and find interested people that way if you avoid farms.

The farms themselves tend be good pay offs, though I think them to be mind numbing boring. There's a trend of late to drop to first level and fight lvl 1 AVs/bosses.

AE missions and the good story arcs don't as a good pay off for the most part. Custom enemies can take hits to XP gain, and some missions havent been updated to keep up with the seemingly never ending changes of awarding XP. Again, check that part of the fourm for good arcs that will have reasonable xp.

There is a lot of good missions out there, and playing non canon stories can be fun.

Just remember mules need to be level ten to send stuff back

I've heard complaints about how to do mayhems since I started playing.

I like the slow fight and destroy on the way. Most chance of success too as well as the most fun I have as a villian.

But the fast way can work, which is probably why it hangs around as a method.

Now for every mayhem, nio matter how many great paper missions the pug has just done, I'll say how we doing it, or ask the leader how we are doing it beofre entering.

I dont really get the angst some players have when mayhems fail. Often you still grab the badge, you miss out on a temp power of variable worth (wow a jet pack). Seen a lot of teams disband 'cause we failed bank, or teamwiped along the way, when if that happened in a normal paper mission, it would be hositpal & reenter no drama.

edit: AE (and other mindless) farms cause ignorance. AE missions can often have more thought required most Arcs.

Truth!

You're using style choice as an excuse for incorrect capitalisation? That's wrong.
The same rationale would work for leet speak, and for people WhO TYpe LiKE THIs TOO wHIcH is FOr STyLE.

Don't understand your line about trolling, can you clarify why you think my post is trolling but your correcting post wasn't?

Oh token passive aggressive smiley

I'm staggered you need so much in PvP (guess I would be staggering getting up off the ground in the PvP zone).

Success is life is measured by a lot of things, and your definition might include requirements like proper spelling/typing.

Considering what a large population in the world isn't even functionally literate (able to read a newspaper) and there would be countless more who make grammar/spelling errors; to say that all those people are lacking a critical factor which will mean they are unable to achieve success in life isn't a statement I'd agree with.

You're saying that approx 14% of North American adults (low literacy skills) are lacking a critical factor for their success in life.

I'm sure many of these people consider their life to be successful by their definitions.

I do think the higher your literacy skills, the more success you will have with work, especially white collar work. But you can have a happy, healthy productive life that enriches others without ever getting the comma spacing right.

They are important factors, but you are misusing the word critical.

Typing words in all caps in the middles of a sentence is just as wrong as using arch instead of arc. Or worse really. Correcting you if case someone less knowledgeable does come along and learn something wrong.

You should be able to download the file first to your desktop. Then run it.

To download the game client, you will need to follow the instructions below.

1.Log into NCsoft Account Management.
2.Click the Game Accounts link.
3.Click the game account for the game you wish to download.
4.Click the Download Game Client link in the Actions section

This will be a little file, around a few MB that downloads/updates the rest of the game. The rest of the game will be 3-4 GB and take a fair while to download. Might be quicker to use a friends CD rom and copy the CDs file onto a USB drive.

If you still have trouble, please post with a bit more info... are you using windows/xp/vista/7, MAC OS, etc etc

What error message do you get?

*groans*

Yes. I think it is worth less though.
