Posted on 26 December 2007 at 23:17:18 I recently had a small dissapointment with Launchers upon classing into Commando. I was happily suprised, however, when upon becoming tired of running around on the map for the better part of the day, I sat at landing post and the valley for about 3 hours with my launchers massively destroying packs of assaulting crusties! I found this quite amusing and was wondering if any of you veterans found that grinding is faster than questing? I honestly cant say because when i was questing to 15 i really hadnt tried grinding, nor was i looking at my exp bar upon questing. All i know is that i was getting loads of EXP while blowing up thrax by the handful.
Has anyone done any definite tests on wether questing or grinding is faster? I realize I have fun either way, and im not trying to speed up the process, I want to experience the game in full, but IMOz its much more fun to me when I can take care of a quest thats a few levels below me because I can concentrate on the story at hand rather than getting jumped and dieing frustratingly over and over when I get aggrod from a few miles away.
Anyway, thanks for reading, see you all on the battlefield.

Posted on 31 December 2007 at 15:58:18 It all depends on HOW you complete quests but...
Coming down the Descent with 2 friends, it was hard for me to keep my multiplier up at 250% the whole time - these guys were around level 48 guardian and I was 44 Spy at the time - but I still managed to get about 300K in 15 to 20 minutes.
Last night I was doing collection mission in the Abyss and so i completed 3 quests in about 45 minutes - but I was out killing almost the whole time. The quests gave over 120K each but I probably made another 400K off the kills as well.
I also did a few quests while polymorphed yesterday - so I sneak in, dont kill anything, and just "use" a device or a terminal. This yeilds good quest exp but no kill exp and while slower is what allowed me to advance to the collection quests.
The game is very well put together so I think if you know what your doing, you don't have to grind - especially if you actually complete all the CP missions at least once. Still, I think Grinding is faster.
