they must have nerfed the hell out of that. Cause I cant nuke anything dead with 2 nukes lol. I'm 16 now but the groups are possible the lamest thing I have ever seen. Like the average age of people is 12. And I hate soloing. People are saying that the TF missions are uber exp, but i did one and it was not that great, I do better with Door missions. And I still cant decide if SK someone reduces your exp or not.

You should be able to take down a white to orange minion in 2 hits, white to orange lieutenant in 3 hits, and boss in 4-6 hits. Don't bother with reds or purples they aren't worth the effort since the last patch.
TF missions are f*****g awesome exp, it usually takes me like 2 nights of soloing missions to get a level but I can get 2 levels in 1 six hour task force, it all depends on if you got a good group so you don't die a lot, if you are in the teens then TF's probably aren't worth it but mid to upper twenties they are pretty much bar-none the best exp next to gay-tactics (burn tankers, caltrop/ignite blasters, etc.)
If YOU SK someone you don't lose exp, but if YOU get SK'ed then you will get less exp per mob cause they will probably be going from orange-purple to blue-yellow.

well i did one TF mission, it was ok. Seems to me that Door missions are the best, more Lt and Bosses. But I am 18 now ,I will see if I can get into a REAL TF mission.

The TF's get better as you get higher lvl exp wise and they usually drop alot of duel orgins and such.
Your exp is going to really start slowing down esp. once you hit the 20's and even more so once you hit the 30's, but if you can get a regular group going then it is not all that bad. Your biggest exp gains will be once you finish some story lines all the way such as one I did tonight at lvl 27 I got 4k exp and 2k influence just for finishing the story line out not counting the exp I got doing it. Was about 6 or 7 missions I think total that I did all solo.

I am now 22... and i can not get anymore TF missions in Skyway, so went to Independence Park, I could not get a group for shit. Some were telling me that the TF missions there were 25+.
So what the hell do I do now till 25? or is there another zone i am missing for TF's at 22-25?

Solo your door missions a bit- you should get between 1-2k when you finish a storyline at your level, and goto Dark Astoria for pickup grps . After you hit 23/24, head to Terra volta for killer exp  I spend most of my time soloing when I can't find a grp. I hate pickup grps.

If you're a blaster with AOEs, goto Dark Astoria in the 20's. I was getting about a lvl every 1.5 hours up until lvl 30.
Think i was getting a lvl every 4-5 hours grinding swarms in crey's folley in the early 30's.
If you're not a blaster... door missions solo. When they revoke the purple patch, then start grouping and taking down deep purples for the best exp.

Damn lucky Fire Blasters 
Im just about 30 and it looks like Underlings are getting nerfed, so no grinding swarms and monkeys for me.

The Raider/Freek gun battles are still broke. If you can solo 6 Raiders, the remaining Freakshow are stuch in teh script and wont fight back. But someone said the ygot cought and banned for 2 days so I dont know if that's worth it. I been searching for some sort of tricks elsewhere. I know every game puts in something that has a huge reward vs risk place... just searching. Oh and my original post about 11 being slow... shit, that aint nothing when your 27 lol

Still Broken. No one I know's been banned yet 
Also- in Independence Port- "Don't " do the 5th Column line from Laurie Pennington by the railway station (the one about the historians going missing). The last mission is bugged- it won't issue . Tech support knows it's broken but doesn't know when it will be fixed and they can't force the mission through for you. If you outlevel that contact while you're waiting for them to fix it, you're screwed and don't get the end of story bonus.

This story arc is fixed in the update 1 patch, along with 2 other bugged missions I got which is pretty nice to look forward to.

around lvl 22-26 in Terra Volta (gotta be 23 to enter the zone).
Just look for the little groups of skyraiders and freakshow having a gun fight (they are all holding sniper rifles for a point blank gun fight for some reason) Usually only the skyraiders will fight back while the freakshow will just keep standing still as you kick their ass.

Just some things I have found...
Start out a blaster or something with ranged attacks... get to lvl 3 then head to the sewers. Hope to god someone has killed off the first 2 sets of mobs so you can get lower into the sewer. Now find a nice buch of mobs and from extreme range blast away. Mobs dont fight back, dont run and attack you just sit there and let you wack away at them. You can make lvl 8 in 2 hours or less. *****This has been fixed as of Last Patch *****
Grab a door mission, run through it but dont pick up objects, destroy items or kill the boss. Once all the mobs are dead run back to the entrance and log out to the login server, log back in and you will be outside at the mission door, go back in and all the mobs are respawned. You can keep doing this pretty much an unlimited number of times. No running around on the streets looking for mobs. Best to do this in a mission which has white and yellow mobs with a oj boss. Not exactly fun or exciting but it is pure exp grinding/influence farming. (with this I have never ran out of missions to do and been left stuck farming the streets)
Back when I was doing faultline I would jump ontop of a low buiding that didnt have a fire escape on the building. Use sniper shot on a mob and maby another shot then back up to avoid all of their ranged attacks. Track the mob because it was on target and after it got done with is running around from being attacked it would head back to the spot you started attacking it at. Hit it on the way back and the other mobs ignore you and keep moving back to the spawn spot.
btw for anyone who didnt know... you used to be able to lvl up to lvl 5 then just go accumulate debt... when you debt equaled exp needed to lvl, you leveled... Still had the debt but it is alot easier to die than to grind at killing. THIS HAS BEEN FIXED NOW THOUGH SO DONT GO TRYING IT
There are a couple of geo bugs in TI that allow you to fly under the map. You can still attack mobs, but they dont attack you. You have to have fly to do this and well with the changes in hitting high lvl mobs its a waste til about lvl 25 or so.*****THIS has been fixed as of last patch****
Edited to show what has been fixed.
