What's your approach to leveling alts on this server?
From my point of view, just doing a global search of all peeps that are not hidden, is my starting point. I find that sometimes that the zones can be a bit quite, but there are peeps everywhere looking to join a team at any level.
Also check out Triumph LFT, it is a great way to find random PUGs out there. Finally if you are gonna run some TFs make sure you join Triumph Watch 2.0 or 2.1. These can help you out getting some teams together for those.
Also if you ever need help send a pm to @Mylia Stenetch. I am usually on redside but if needed, I can help out on blue also.
Not much to add to what Mylia said. Global channels are the key to quick and easy teaming on any server, especially if you're coming from Freedom where you may be used to using a clunky method like broadcast to form up teams.
There's usually plenty of people to team with all over, but most of them are in missions so you have to know how to find them. On Freedom, since there's so many folks, you don't always need to use the other tools (though I find I still get better quality teams on average there if I do).
Use your global channels and send (polite!) tells to people at or near your level range and you should have a team in no time.

I mostly tf my way up the lvls and then bug gfriends for teaming or pling. Mostly the former. Right now I've got several toons sitting on the lvl20 and lvl30 range, but I play pretty much everything below that (I've done sewer runs on my lvl 30s). shoot me a tell if u see me on triumph watch 2.0 and i'll be happy to team with yah if i'm not already on a tf.

Thanks for the replies and PMs. I have some good info to work with now. It's definitely going to require more effort than Freedom or Virtue, but I think it'll be a good learning experience.
The big advantage of triumph is the quality of the people here. You'll run into a lot of great people and some of them have already messaged you here!
For me, I run lots of TFs blueside....all the time. That's how I get my levels and badges. I have a friend who, all he does is form pugs and do radio missions/AE. To each their own, and it all works.
Anyways, look me up in game any time, and feel free to global add me, @Mojo1 is my main account.

Keep your eyes open here as well, we hope to one day get Trolls StrikeForce/ SidheBlades Task Forces started again.
Troll is my IRL husband and we worked our Villians up to 50 basicly just doing the StrikeForces.
*sighs* I so need to bug him to start that again....
I PL all mine into the 20's at least. I can't stand the pre-stamina/pre-SO game.

Same here- can't stand the end issues in the lower levels. If I have ways to PL my toons into the 20s, it doesn't make much sense for me to have to put up w/ the pre-stamina woes.

I find I can level to 10-12 solo fairly easily with any alt, and then if I leave my status as looking for a team i'll usually get an invite via a tell fairly quickly. Though I do tend to team with global friends and people from a coalition or two, the new side kicking makes it fairly easy to join friends of any level doing missions and get exp.
The easiest thing might to be thrown in with a super group to give you a few more options for finding teams on Triumph.

I have my fingers crossed that this got improved in GR. Not getting my hopes up too much though.

At first I do sewer runs, after that all I do is PUG missions and radio. I'll invite anyone that's on the server and not already on a team that's at my level and below. True it's hard to get an 8-man team, but I always end up with at least 3-4 people. And I agree with the above post that the people on Triumph are awesome. I've had many experienced players offer me tips, and the teaming is always real fun. Very few idiots
What do you guys do at low levels to deal with the end issues? Besides plowing through the low levels of course

I usually stock up on low lvl gen end redux IOs in my SG base. Then i slot at least one in every power until I hit stamina.

ahhh ok, thanks. I'll have to try that with my tank
About the only point in my characters' lifespans where the game starts to slow down for me is around 29-32. By that point I've accumulated a lot of powers, but haven't gotten enough slots to do anything but really manage a balance between recharge and endurance. (Almost all of my builds concentrate very heavily on End Rdx, Acc, and Rchg Rdx until 30).
On the positive side, I don't have any real issue with pre-Stamina and can sometimes put it off until the late 20s if I so wish. However, the tradeoff is that I don't do much damage and things start getting harder to take out in a timely manner.
Once I reach the 30s, the slots start flooding in and I can worry less about endurance management and start slotting more for damage and secondary effects (minor debuffs, stun duration, etc.) The game starts to pick up speed again around level 33 and by 40 I'm usually cruising through missions quickly again.
I solo or duo most of the time, but if I have the time I rarely turn down invitations for TFs from people I've had a good teaming experience with before. TFs on an effective team always make the levels fly right by.

I am pretty interested in trying Triumph, but I've always played on high pop servers (Freedom/Virtue). I've been playing a lowbie alt here, but KR and Hollows are pretty barren. My usual leveling method has been going to level-specific zones and either join a team or try and form one. It's kind of hard when there's like... two people in the whole zone though (and one of them is level 50).
So, how do the Triumph regulars approach the leveling treadmill? Any tips would be greatly appreciated. I'm almost considering using a second account as a PLer or something so I'll be self-sufficient.
