i am brand new as of yesterday and as any typical noob, i have many questions !

i did training and then stopped, (well i did try to go into i guess the "city" but all i got was a black screen, but thats not for this forum) and i understand i have to start to do missions to level up to seven and then be asked who i want to join.

i read the history between revolutions

But beyond that i am lost! any suggestions, advice, or critisim will be greatly appresiated

Right, first things first, do the newbie trail at Uriah (where you first jack in proper) by talking to Clio and following her instructions.

Trust me, there's no rush to do missions and start choosing sides just yet, it'll only throw you in head first and get you in the habit of grinding, which is never fun.

Once the trails all over and done with (it continues through past a building with an exile contact and across into your first dungeon btw, introducing some more under appreciated game mechanics.) then feel free to start your missions using your phone menu. However, once you reach the stage the system just starts generating "Standard" missions, take a step back and take a look at what are called Archive Missions. Standards are a horrible grind trap and generally pretty useless after you've got 50 reputation points anyway. Archives give more exp, tell you the past story from all 3 sides without negative effects and are all round more entertaining. By all means do some standards here and there to work on your rep but by no means start thinking they're the only content around. There's dungeons, collectors, exile contacts, access node and hardline hunting and come lv30+ a ton of quest content too.

Well thats my main piece of advice to ya but if you're on the Syntax server feel free to add "CloudWolf" to your buddies list and shoot me a tell whenever I'm online, I'd be more than happy to help.
