I soloed most of my way to 30 as I tended to die in the lower lvl teams but since hooking up with teams in the 30s when everone has a decent amount of powers and knows how to use them is pure joy and the xp goes through the roof

Its your fault
Its your computers fault

Gotta admit, I've had a hell of a time recently getting teams, on both games.
This is at various levels from 5-20, on both games and at different times.
And annoyingly, last night, got a great team and could only stay on for about 45 mins 
We built this city on Rock and Roll!
Team with the SG most nights, unless i'm being an anti-social git and want to solo 
I die a lot on teams
There is very few corruptors on CoV , if there where more corruptor , teams could more beter! I blame the devs for making corruptors = to defenders :P

We on the same server 
cause all i seem to be able to get is corrupters.... now a decent brute is hard to come by and then dominators, thats another story.
Ive found that if i want a team i might as well start one
If your gettin debt your gettin a challlenge.
some teams are an extreme , but to give up in general and its only you that missing the fun of a team .
if you enjoy your character
debt is gud to buy enchances
debt extends the life of your character
debt = gettin rich quick, hehe ask a blaster!!
i gotto say for me gettin to 50 was a big let down as far as Bugsy was concerned , once i got there i was sort of lost.
wished i had not worried so much about debt and worried more about just enjoying the game.
its just not that gud second time arround
trust me you dont want to take my approach though when it comes to leveling been playing since february abd the highest lvl character i got is 40

hehe i'm prepared to suck as long as i enjoy sucking 
and i would rather suck in a fun team than go though 50 tedious lvls solo
so i think super sucker may be my next hero
I try to avoid random teams...for some reason they always seem to have their difficulty set to a level which ensures a team wipe every corridor of a mission.
Of course with all the AVs in the 20s and 30s it is pretty impossible to solo every mission

ah when joining team i always check team lvl and mish difficulty , takes 1 minute
the mish difficulty problem is either newbies who have no idea what it is, there no real explanation given when u accept it. these people need help
or its people who are gunnin 4 quick xp , but quite simply dont know how to choose a team. these ppl are usaully the 1st to quit the team.
quite easy to tell apart , being the response u get in a private tell. try it ur see what i mean
personly i enjoy helping the 1st set of ppl
and i also enjoy watchin the other scream blue murder that every 1s at fault but him
dunno how i quoted my self in this quote lol

Started in Feb too, what ever you're doing looks productive compared to me.

I'll second that on Corruptors - I regularly seem to end up in 3, 4 or all corruptor teams. Which is kind of fun in it's own way - there's nothing like watching your health bomb into the red while 4 guys keep repeating the Twilight Grasp animation but can't hit their target.
Anyway, give it a couple of weeks and people will get sick of playing MMs and Corruptors and we'll get a little diversity out there. (hang on, didn't we all say that in the Beta?)
I keep ending up on MM-heavy teams: which is fun watching your enemies get swamped by droids, zombies, ninjas and carebears (epic MM archetype. Shhh).
Not fun for your graphics card though, particularly if everyone's bubbled...
Is it time for the dance of joy yet?
As one of the many (and i mean many) masterminds out there I'm on my second I love it. I only solo when the mood takes me but usualy team with SG members but not unknown to team with complete strangers (lol). If you want to team please send me a tell I'm always game, its more fun when theres more than one.

Not sure you need any AT in your team to be successful, if you have a good diverse team then the missions are easier, but its still doable without one.
I dont think I've been on a team without a mastermind yet having said that, so maybe without one of those you'd be in trouble.
I've solo'd one mission so far, how anti social of me, left me missing my team when the ambushes started, need a bit of downtime when soloing, control runs out and dont do enough damage to survive without it yet.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not knocking MMs, I have 4 myself! They're the perfect social AT - turn on your toggles, send in the drones and kick of the party. In fact I think MM-only teams actually make the early mishes way too easy - especially if you all target the big bad guy in the cutscenes and then send the troops in on agressive 
Think they patched that out but it was great while it lasted.
lol, im a mm and solo about 40% of the time, used to be about 90% of the time when i was using my hero. but im in a wicked sg, TERROR CULT (for those who wanna join ) and there is always something going on. lvls are quite close between the majority of us and we all rally for AVs. which is good coz i tried to solo Aurora and got smooshed like the squishy i am. but being in a sg is def the way forward for me
Bah MMs are overrated Stalker/Corruptor/Dominator team FTW!
and brutes if there is something nasty
Teamed with 2 MMs and 2 Corruptors last night, walked through a hero mission at +1 level. Work well. Have done the same mission with me, another dominator and an MM, went well that time too, just needed resting in places.
