Which Tips do you skip?

Just curious. I normally solo my tip missions and end up dismissing a lot of them.

Heroside, I dismiss anything Carny. Just not fun. Same with Malta, except on my fire tank, they're a good challenge for that character. On a team I just roll through anything blueside, though.

Villainside there is only one that I will always skip. "A Tortured Scream". I'm pretty sure it was named for the sounds made by those that actually play it. On a huge CoT temple map you get to find a blinky, find a boss, find 4 more blinkies, then find another boss. Never doing it again on a team or solo.

Howbowchoo?

Rescue the Debutantes hero side... unless I'm on a team. Why do escortees still require my stealth toons, whatever their class to shut off a good portion of their defences just to cart their lazy butts to the door? Can't we just hand the rich chic's an emergency transporter? I'm sure their rich daddies made them mediport capable. Hint... hint...

Also throw in some Ring mistress debutante guards... constant Master Illusionist fighting is getting me down.

Usually anything that isn't in my current zone.

I've run almost exclusively the 40-50 tips and there's a few that get the boot instantly.

Let's see... topping the list is Malta Gunslinger Action Figure... I just hate that one with the rapid fire ambushes. Then the Debutantes lead out mission and the Sister Jocasta lead out mission get dumped, I probably despise lead outs more than anything else. Anything with Knives gets dumped which includes the Sister Jocasta and one other that escapes me right now.

Other than those missions all the others are pretty fast and easy for most of my characters. Most of them I can do solo in 5-10 minutes on most characters. As a general rule Carnies are pretty easy for most of my characters.

Any tips that threaten to lead to Oranbega. I hate that place.

Any tips with Malta. I hate Sappers.

Sister Jocasta gets dumped... HATE knives artemis

One Good Spider usually gets dumped... as cool as it was the first time... it's much less so the 465th time...

The debutantes I am iffy on... but if it's one of my first 3 tips i typically dump it since I know a replacement will likely show up doing the other 2

I'd say Knives of Artemis are the group I avoid the most, especially after my Dark Tank died because the 24x Caltrops prevented him from ever using his heal again...

Malta and Carnies can be brutal or okay, depending on what kind of character you're on. I don't mind annoying maps like the ones that CoT have, as much as annoying enemies drive me crazy.

The only one I drop is the Sister Jocata one heroside.

Sorry a walk out with Knives is just horrid

Villain Tip: Guilt-stained trail of blood.

It is by no means hard...it is just one of the very few missions that sends shivers up my spine.

Villain, lv 30+:
- Darrin Wade's tip
- A long line of Spirits: the screen looks like it's been covered with a white film. So hard to see.

Villain, lv 50:
- Attack Portal corp. Too much Rularuu and many ambushes.

The debutante mission is one I always drop now. Escorting in general sucks, three escorts in one mission is just plain horrible. Couple that with each of them being guarded by a very annoying Master Illusionist. Granted, running it a few times was good for topping off my Illusionist badge, but from now on those three airheads are on their own.

I generally don't skip any tips. But there are a few that I hate with a passion: The Lead Sister Jocasta out mission and the Rescue the Debutants mission are on top of my list. The Malta Gunslinger mission where you have to wait 82734289730 minutes for each ambush to appear gets on my nerves very much as well.
There's also that one Vigilante mission which name escapes me ATM. Where you have to free a LongBow agent and then lead him out of the huge-*** base. Agent Fremuth? Or something.

The only one one I'm sometimes skipping is a 41-50 villain tip, I don't remember its name off hand. Its the one where you invade a Crey lab, and have to defeat Miss Thistle (and alts) a total of SIX times. She hits Unstoppable and you just have to wait it out, SIX times. I skip it not because its difficult, only because it gets tedious.

Knives, Orebega caves and that horrible hero alignment mission set in GV.

I skip carnies on my mind/kin controller. Swapping mez's with a master illusionist who doesn't seem to be able to hurt me much beyond my heals and I don't seem to be able to get her health bar down either isn't fun. When it got too tedious I pulled some strongmen with TK just so i could die. I died from boredom induced suicide. So yeah, no thanks.

I skip escort missions and any others that force me to take a lot of time. Except for the carnie phase shift, none of the enemy groups slow me down. I don't feel like spending the 30 minutes per tip mission that they seem to expect us to take.

I drop anything with an escort immediately.

Honestly? None of them. I like a challenge.

Hero:
Rescue the Debutantes (three escorts just take too long)

Villain:
The one with 5 Miss Thystle fights and PPD/Rularuu
