    On Freedom, I started the "A Threatening Letter" mission. When I got to the part where you "fall down the rabbit hole", I tumbled down as normal. What wasn't normal, is that at the end of my plunge, I briefly saw a "choose which Dark Astoria instance" window, and then took max fall damage. I was then standing in mid air. I had to use a flight power to fly back up the rabbit hole, where I was then allowed to choose which Dark Astoria instance I wanted to use.

    Also, please do us this simple kindness. Add Dark Astoria to the destinations available from the Ouroboros portal.

    Nice post. You might want to edit all the 9's to 10's. Stacks go to 10.

    Glad to oblige.

    Say I'm running a toggle that is blanketing my targets in a yucky black cloud that makes them miss. A lot. Then I get stunned, and the yucky black cloud she's a go "poof" and they start hitting me again. It takes suprisingly few of those hits to be dead. Sure, my self heal can keep me alive, if it hits. Suprisingly how often those "ifs" can come home to roost. I always seem to come up with the fuzzy end of the 5% chance.

    Don't care. It drops my offensive toggle and then I'm dead. It is really aggravating when it is some minion dressed up like a rent a cop. I know, there are legions of players that don't have problems with this when they play a defender, and they don't even consider it playing if it isn't set for +4/8. I do, and don't mind admitting it.

    I don't have any problems if minions can't stun. When they can, and I'm out of breakfrees, I tend to die.

    Let me, as a defender, get an extra +1 mag against stunning, so that the sucker punch from a stray minion doesn't lead to a concrete kiss. If I get overwhelmed by a flock of them, then that's my bad. I can get an extra mag against holds, and the bad AI when you are slept (AI tends to ignore you, and my toggle recharges) does me ok when I get snoozed. Its the adhoc minion stun that isn't ramping up my fun factor.
