For me it's the other way around. I just can't play melee characters.
Tried them all, but just don't like them. Now, masterminds on the
other hand, that's my newfound love. Ordering pets to do this and
that, debuffing a mob, buffing a pet, paralyzing a lieutenant, sending
enemies flying with my M30 grenade, ahh the joy the joy!

That's what I always play when solo. Said mission is a "defeat all Wyvern"
kind of mission in a large office building. They are nasty.

Is that possible? I haven't seen any ghosts there while standing near the
traps. Do the ghosts only spawn once a day or something?

Is it true that she is an unlockable contact for players up to level 10
only? I think then I don't need to even try catching all the ghosts.

About the newspaper : Each mission you do for the "paper" will increase
the bar on your broker contact on the current map. Once his bar his
full, go talk to him. He will offer you a special mission (like robbing
a bank). After that, go back to your broker again and he will offer you
a new contact. If you don't have anymore, no worries, the broker's bar
will be back to zero and you can do another bunch of missions from the
newspaper. Rinse and repeat.

Only, it is not an "endless mission source" guys. Please believe me. The
paper doesn't offer anything, the radio mish is too difficult, and the
broker doesn't intoduce any new contact to me now that I know Boris the
Russian (who doesn't give me a mission neither).

I'm badly stuck and will most likely roll an alt because I can't be arsed to
clean streets until I level up and possibly get a mission from the Russian.

The mission system is broken by design in CoX.

It is an endless source of missions...

If you get the message " Nothing catches yourn eye" or words to that effect
when you open the papaer, then you have out-levelled the zone. Move to the
next one, open your paper and lo and behold.... missions, bank heists and
eventually a new contact!

I am kind of figuring that you're trying all this in Port Oakes, which at
level 14 is too easy for you. Go to Cap O Diable and have fun!

Ah right. Go to Cap. You've outlevelled the area.

Nope.

You must be doing something wrong...
Do you know each zone has a set of newspaper missions? go to other
zones and click on the newspaper, you'll probably get missions there

If they were smart they'd have done it over a year ago.

It's not like people running out of missions is a new problem.

I wouldn't bet on it making it in at all, since it's obviously contrary
to Statesman's vision of how the game should be.

I didn't know that, thanks I will try this. Were you told about this
in-game? I'm trying to avoid external sources of information as much as
possible and would have hoped to read some explicit message in game when I
outlevelled the zone.

No I just found out when I got a newspaper mission and then realized I
was in a different zone and already had a newspaper mission from
another zone

CoV is like that too, with the added convenience that the new contacts
will give you missions in the same zone they're in (most of the time).
This makes the game much faster as time-between-missions is reduced
considerably, specially if you group a lot like I do. In CoH a big
chunk of time is spent waiting for groupmates to travel through the
zones to get to the mission, some people have slower connections and
each 'zone in' takes longer, others have no travel power, etc.

Ha! Didn't know about the max zone level. Thanks for the info!

Glad to be of assistance, enjoy your new zone and missions!
