Thank you so much, true metal, for implying correctly. I didn't know that. Saves me a lot of time and anger =)
And thanks for all your help everyone! I think the questions asked have been answered!
A scrapper is pretty good for quick leveling. Blasters do pretty well, too. In the long run, I prefer Controllers, but they are not very fast through the lower levels solo -- you will go much faster on a team.
One way to get your first 8-10 levels is a sewer run with a decent team. I like to get my character to level 4 before going into the sewers, but many hit them fresh out of the Tutorial. Just broadcast that you want a sewer team, and if enough folks are on, there are usually some takers.
If you want to play solo, I use a pretty simple roadmap to get started. I do my missions in Atlas from my first contact, with a little bit of street sweeping along the way. That usually gets me to level 5.
Then I go to King's Row to do three Scanner missions. (Go to the Detective who pops up on your screen when you arrive in King's Row and he will give you a scanner. Click on the scanner to get missions.) That generally gets me to level 6 or 7. Then it is time to do the Atlas Park Bank mission (Solo, it is sometimes a good idea to lower your difficultly to -1 for this first bank mission -- you really want to complete it to get the Raptor pack for early flight.)
Then I get a new contact from the Detective. I decide if I want to do missions in the Hollows (since I have to run there anyways) or do missions from the contact to get up to level 10 or 11. I try to get the contact who gives out the Fortune teller missions (Spelunker badge is needed later for Atlas Medal Accolade). Then it is time to do three more scanner missions in King's Row to get the King's Row Bank mission for the Zero-G pack (Super Jump). Then back to missions from contacts or Hollows to 15 or 16. Do more Scanner missions and the Bank mission for the Self-rez temp power. That's a good time to do a Positron TF, but if you can't, go to Faultline for missions that will get you most of the way to 20.
And Warshades are all kinds of fun. 6-20, you are mostly a floating gunship. At 20, you get your Dwarf form and can start tanking. Then comes level 22 and Stygian Circle -- one of the best powers in the game on teams. And each power after than adds more fun to the mix. Peacebringers are mostly the same until level 22, but then the two types of HEATs begin to differ substantially.
LOCAL MAN! The most famous hero of all. There are more newspaper stories about me than anyone else. "Local Man wins Medal of Honor." "Local Man opens Animal Shelter." "Local Man Charged with..." (Um, forget about that one.) Guide Links:Earth/Rad Guide, Illusion/Rad Guide, Electric Control
