What is soft loading?
Soft loading is a way to make task forces in City of Heroes and strike forces in City of Villains a great deal easier by fooling the server into thinking only one team member is online; this is done by having all but one person on the team log off while the remaining person enters the mission.
The procedure can be used for any instanced, or "door", mission in a task/strike force, and will cause all lieutenants and bosses to disappear, as well as most of the minions.
Soft loading will not decrease the level of the enemies, nor will it make the end battle with the Archvillain any easier; it will only allow the team to speed through "clear all" missions by decimating the total amount of enemies.
Procedure
1. Everyone except one team member (one with some form of Invisibility or Stealth if the mission has several floors) logs out of CoH for around 5 minutes. Stalkers are great for this.
2. The lone member visits every floor in the mission before the others log on. This is very important. The server checks the size of the team every time a new floor is visited for the first time
