Passive SL regen is the best thing ever, thank you so much. I left myself afk for a while and got back 1 SL already.

I went to the jailhouse and found a mission to kill 10 anarchy breed harassers. I took the nearby city exit and outside I found anarchy breed hooligans... and they kicked my melee tanks ass. Soooo I gave up. Could you list any particular new SL or symp missions to test out? At this point I'd just afk in my apartment every night to regen symp/SL.


I also made a new droner, choosing the droner job. The skillpoint choices for jobs really needs a revamp. It gave me a small amount of barter and a small amount of repair. Since most knowledgeable players specialize and don't just dabble in "a little barter skill" I think this probably sends the wrong message to new players on where to spend their points.

I tried the starter drones and they just miss every single shot, plus the reticle wouldn't close unless I was almost touching the scorpions in mc5.

Drones are unfortunately the quickest way to level a spy or pe to dex woc. On Titan we just level to 25 dex or so using pistols or TL 150 research missions or whatever (since noob drones don't work), then it's down to the cheaty El Farid roof to grind our eyes out. I wish so much that leveling with guns was more viable. I also wish there was more reason to leave El Farid / Regants. Most new players I encounter don't make it to endgame, including the ones we teach how to farm El Farid early on. They are all excited and leveling efficiently, but after a few days they just never login again.

I really feel that the leveling process needs to be revamped. Not leveling all your attributes naturally is an issue. Getting woc 3 on a tank before capping con is an issue. Monk and spy INT levels too slowly. PE woc is pointlessly harder to obtain. Pistols can't snipe and mini rocketlauncher AoE is nowhere near as efficient as grenade launchers. PEs are forced to level HC or they will never cap con. Leveling melee is a complete joke and I see new players trying to do it all the time; they refuse to level heavy and just blame the game (and quit). Many endgame mobs hit too hard. Kill missions like "black roach" and "radiated roach" are bullshit and confuse new players. "Where can I find mutant corporals?" I don't know, just do aggie capt missions in p2 like the rest of us. Kill missions also don't give enough money. New players are broke and I can make 1 million nc per hour in El Farid holding my mouse button down while I watch TV and completely ignore NC.
