So I'm pretty late to the discussion but wanted to throw my 2 cents in. Been playing for quite sometime now and though I rarely post on the forums, this is a topic that hits close to home. I haven't read through this entire thread, so forgive any duplication of this comment. I love this game and it has been a treat for me to be able to mindlessly play on my own while listening to a boring conference call, with the knowledge that I can go afk and not impact my team mates. This is not to say that I don't enjoy teaming, but solo play has been a staple for me for years. For the first time, I truly feel disavantaged by this as I will no longer be able to putter away at incarnates on my own with the new rare shards. While I certainly agree they should be challenging to come by, I am not of the mind that they should require team mates to do it. I would welcome a solo TF or the ability to solo existing TFs to do this. Squishy toons I could keep to team with while still allowing me to utilize my solo time with stronger builds. It is simply the lack of any other option that I find objectionable.

Thanks kindly.

I am not a farmer. But I am a Scrapper and Brute player, and so I heartily endorse this change, and I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it applies to AE as well, because then I'll be able to make your "easily soloable, squishy-friendly" mission into a "challenging" mission when my Scrapper starts nearing 40 and everything becomes stupid-easy.

While I tend to farm, it is simply an easy way to max out a mission, grab some money and tickets to help outfit toons that have literally sat on a shelf for years. I completely agree with this point of Eva's and would much prefer to sample lots of creative AE content on my own with maxed numbers and maxed difficulty without worrying about the noob I'm pling getting stuck on a light fixture somewhere. Should the change to mob sizes roll out as we all hope, I really do think as Das Bert suggests that AE will lose some of it's pling charm and while farming will continue, it should, with any luck, become one's dirty little secret

Looks like it's back to normal thanks for your response!

K not exactly back to normal but a post from the devs about the servers being down for maintenance.

Just wondering if others are experiencing this as well. Seems my two published stories have been pulled though not banned. One is perhaps a bit on the fence being a 54-54, but the other is a legitimate cot mission. I had previously purchased all unlockable content using tickets and it is now requiring me to re-purchase every piece again. Curious as to whether or not this is a bug or a nerf. Anyone else going through this?

Sent in game bug report.

Much like Vermain said you can add to custom groups, however to build on that, you can in fact create a separate custom group just with these in it and save them to another file named Nictus Leadership or some such thing and then force them into the spots you need them for. Often times I will provide certain bosses their own custom group to really distinguish this particular incident as something unusual. You could have them defending an object or holding a captive or even spawn them as your ambush, so you don't have to contend with other mob spawns. Hope this makes sense.

Hi guys

Really hoping someone has run into this issue as I am utterly stumped!

I have built my wee shiny mission, it is error free, comprised of both created and original characters. I have tested it about 20 times now and it runs pretty well. It utilizes 2 Croatoa maps and a ship map. The file size is pushing the red line and sits at 99.64%. I am ready to publish, but alas, my publish button is greyed out!

Keeping in mind there are no errors being reported for my arc by the creator, can anyone think of something I'm missing? Any insight would be appreciated.

Thanks kindly.
