I have been in the process of moving so I haven't been able to get on the forums for a while and I just read something that caught my attention, in another thread they said that I16 will eliminate bridging? Is that true? Can we still SK up, I hope it does not affect that, I understand trying to slow down the PLing, anyways if anyone has a link to this info I would greatly appreciate it

Also I must say Whoa on the new forums feeling a little lost and overwhelmed with the new look, but pretty cool so far

Short Answer: Everyone on a team will be sidekicked up to -1 or exemplared down to the level of the team task, or the team leader depending.

Ok pretty cool, it sounds pretty good, I jumped to conclusions thinking they were eliminating teaming with anyone not your level and that would kill my SG because we are so spread out in level

I don't think they'd ever do that - teaming works so well here, and it's such a social game environment, they're only ever going to try and make teaming even easier than it is now.

Two things really make CoH stand out in the MMO world (There are definitely more, but these are the two I'd consider the big ones):

1. Rich character customization
2. Sidekicking system

They know that and wouldn't get rid of either of them. The fact that they've stuck with sidekicking for so long even knowing the massive implications of it on power leveling shows it's going to be around for the long haul.

Plus, lifting the level entry cap for the hazard zones and letting exemplars earn xp in I16 shows they want teaming to be even less restricted then it is now.

fixt.

The owner of the mission might have outleveled their mission. So, if the owner is level 22 and the mission is level 20, everyone SSKs to 22, not 20.
