I'm kind of hoping this is the right forum, as while related to a paticular type of ability, I have to admit my knowledge is... limited at best, and I'm by no means a veteran, or even really all that average yet. So... is it practical to specialize in the use of Proxys at level 17? I'm considering trying it out for a nice change of pace, but at the same time I'm worried about them not being very effective, or what to do, or how to properly back one up...

EDIT: *Glances down* Wow, my signature sure is... bright. o_O Is it supossed to be a large white box containing the small amount of text I have in it?

Stats becoming TOO important, what I mean... something I love about Matrix Online is that you can rather easily change what your char does, however I'm worried that now you'll need to know all the little details about the stats in advance and follow a strict stat "build", or you'll either be stuck doing one thing forever, or simply end up inferior to other players with no chance of closing that gap, ALA Diablo 2.

So as I'm just going into actual Martial Arts ingame, I'm wondering what each of the three styles do. And which one is the most newbie friendly?

Now, I see no topic regarding this despite the fact I was told there were plenty of posts about it, and despite my trying I haven't been able to find any either so I figured I'd pop one up myself. What's the worst that could happen?

Anyways onto the topic itself, I was told this was a quick and by far the easiest way to gain XP, but so far I've noticed anything but. Mainly as it still involves combat. I haven't seen a mission yet that didn't promptly tell me to go kill someone to get an item, so... what gives exactly?

Are Spy's sneak attacks really strong enough to take out an orange-con one on one in the first hit alone? o_O So far I haven't been willing to go on such a seemingly suicidal mission so I've been sticking to Tiny/Medium Assassination missions...

Now I'm not 100% sure this is the right forum to put it in, I was wondering if maybe this belongs in chara development but when I think about it, it's more asking how to use Spy then good ways to get XP, so... this seems more like the right place to me.

So I'm going MA for the time being, and I've tried Proxy, but I gotta say am I missing something when it comes to missions? Easy missions give pretty much no XP at all, but Medium missions are downright suicide. Two yellow cons at much in most fights is simply too much, and even one yellow con has a rather high chance of killing me. I tried Proxy-usage, but the moment any fighting starts I promptly get targeted and killed making it kinda useless. More then once I've had a mob completely ignore the Proxy and keep shooting at me untill the Proxy put away the gun and went for interlock, and even then I still tend to draw attention moreso then the proxy does. So am I missing something in regards to things? Since so far, leveling has been slowing way way down due to a lack of mission XP.

Another question, after what crit mission do you unlock general missions?

ANOTHER question, what should I try for now since MA seems to be suicide in a medium mission, same with Proxy unless I somehow don't draw aggro? I hear Hacker has tremendous offense, but it looks a little fragile...

Also, how much does it cost to have some Tactics Boosters coded for me? I noticed that when using them, my odds of winning a given fight increase dramaticly, but I have very few of them to spare and I'm finding far fewer then I'm using. (Are Tactics Boosters the key to handling Medium level missions? Since right now they aren't medium, it's suicide. I've never pulled off a Medium mission that's involved combat, and I've almost never killed any yellow cons either.) Or maybe guns...

Basically what the topic asks, I'm not entirely sure what to do with my points right now since I'm not sure what I'll do. While for now I'm MA, at some point I plan to try everything on this char, so I'm leaning towards stats that would help overall with a slight focus on MA... Perception/Belief good for that?

After glancing around these forums, I couldn't help but notice there's a number of people here who used to play SWG, who joined recently...

I guess all I gotta say, you too huh? o.o
