  1. My standard method is flip my flag to 'looking for any', add no farming or no Posi TFs or no whatever I dont think like to the comments, check Wentworths/Black market or go do a mission solo.
    Typically within 30 mnutes I have an invite.

    I'm happy to be teaming with less than 8 though.

    I'll start up teams if I feel like it, and that gets one going quickly

    I am looking forward to the super side kicking, probably make more teams then.

    I play in the US off peak times (aussie) on virtue, justice and liberty.
  2. I think there is a 5 image limit to each post, something to keep in mind & smilieys count ...

    If we are looking for tricks, stopping at the start of a dual build or maybe a respec would also make you con as level 1.

    :P

    "The One"
    Control + F to find the name you are thinking of maybe?
  5. Worth noting that there were power leveling extremes before AE too, AE just made it easier for anyone to do so, and do it from atlas instead of PI farms.
  6. I often have the vet reward being buggy; where i choose it, receive it quietly, and the reward dialog doesnt go away until I pick 'nothing'.
    Check that its hasnt been awarded and listed in the powers.

    I find sands/axe to be incredilby useful parts of the attack chain, espically for my lower level ATs.

    I seriously do think a lot of kids get offended by swear words, especially the primary age ones. Not the high schooler's so much ....

    Unrelated to Heroes, (as thats parents jobs/responibilty if they allow young children to play) but the amount of times I am in public with my daughter, and listening to the language of people who can see young children around them, shows that a lot of people wrongly believe children aint offended by swear words.
    Or parents that come into the school I work at wearing big bold swear words on thier Tshirts
    Or ... wait, lets not get started
  8. I normally like getting travel power early, around 12-16.
  9. I havent checked it out, but thought it was a global chat, so what you see on virtue would be same any server.
  10. Justice might be good for an 'early' server as well, as has fair numbers of aussies/kiwis playing in thier prime time, or US early morning.

    ctrl+numpadenter powexec_name Speed Boost
    ctrl+add powexec_name Increase Density

    I use /bind numpad1 teamselect 1$$"powexecname speed boost" etc so I can double tap the numpad key and speed boost that team member.
    And use /bind shift+numpad1 teamselect 1$$"powexecname increase density"

    Sometimes I double SB someone, but I can live with that

I like to PUG and have been on many a PUG where not much is said, even from the player with the star and we steam rolled missions. This game isn't very complicated.
    Though I agree, some experiences with leading teams is well, less than pleasant. People demanding their way of play, or hassling for certain missions/team make up etc can be hard for some types of people to manage in their 'relax' time.

    Majority of the time though, its just a case of set mission and go.

    The farm spam is mostly for 30+ yes.
    People running missions will have different criteria.

    I'd post that in bugs, might get fixed.

    Oh, I know ALL about Irfanview, I use it at home. But on my work computer, I am not authorized to install ANY programs, period.
    I think the image quality you use is fine for forum guide, but if you did want to better edit them at work, try http://www.picnik.com, completely online browser based photo editing for free. Really easy to use etc.
  19. Hope you sort it out painlessly as possible.
  20. In case you havent found out, clicking (and bookmarking) the word english on the main screen will get a page much like the board of old.
