Could not agree with the OP more. It would be nice to have a lvl playing field when it comes to the TF vs. SF ratio. Not only that, but it would be nice if everything that was coming out wasn't co-op. I just can't imagine all there heroes and villains working together all the time like they are now.

I understand they want to keep it even when they add new content, but they break they have been willing to break the rules when it comes to blueside but not the other way around. They revamped posi (it was new content with new badges with the old available in oro), then they revamped the praetorian arcs, and now they have given Penelope Yin a new TF to replace Sister Psyche.

You can say all you want that these arent "new" TF/arcs ,because they replaced something that existed, but that's simply isnt true. Because the old versions are available in oro the total amount of content blueside is increased along with adding new badges. Beyond the "it's just replacement content not new" argument, in the big picture it's the Devs putting time and resources into blueside without putting the same effort into the corresponding side, and that is not parity by any means.

Redside seems to be almost an afterthought as it stands now for new content. The co-op content that comes out almost always takes a "heroic" stance, and don't allow villains to be villains and the DFB trial makes no sense for villains to do and just seems "thrown" at them.
I really hope that some of the new focus they are putting on Recluse means some real villain content coming up instead of more "let's work together just this once.....again >.>"

I don't understand I thought Shadowhunter was destroyed by Praetorian Hamidon per Tina's post GR arc??

Did they retcon a retcon?

I just went to First ward for the first time on my MM and started the intro arc given by the Doorman. I went through the first 3 missions just fine. After you return to Meredith she gives you a mission to speak with Mistress Nadia. The waypoint fails to switch to Nadia, it stayed at Meredith. I went to Nadia thinking the waypoint was just bugged, but she wont speak with me and I couldn't continue on in the arc any further normally. I was able to go back to the doorman and auto complete the current mission and it then gave me the Talk to Nadia mission again. This time the waypoint was on Nadia and she would talk and continue the arc normally.

I switched over to another toon in the same lvl range and it produced the same result.

It looks like you can't start the FW arcs without auto completing after the "return to Meredith" mission.

No it says right in the text from him either doing them from the contacts or through Oro counts.

So I just logged in to DA on a toon that just finished the last arcs yesterday and go to find the new contact that will grant you 2 emps for finishing all of the arcs, only to discover it doesn't count if you have done the arcs prior to him being added??????

Seriously that is beyond weak!!!

You're telling me the system can't look into my badges and see all the arc completion badges and grant everyone who has you know DONE them already and grant the 2 Emps?

I'm usually very forgiving and understanding of a lot of things, but I'm pretty disappointed in this.

I did pretty well:

48-50 on my Widow
8-22 on my WM/Shield Scrap
20-32 on my Dark/Psi Dom
24-30 on my dark/MM Blaster
25-30 on my Beam/trap Corr
47-50 on my Earth/Fire Dom
18-24 on my elec/EA Stalker

Had lots of fun. Did 3 Moonfire TFs, a Manticore, a Numina, 6 DFBs and a DiB as well. It was nice to see a ton of peeps on.

Mine wont even start the video portion.

You know we are just taking it on faith that the person inside the redside contact is the piece of Aurora. If I was a clever 80 year old psychic I would trick a villain into helping me find a new body (Tyrka). I think Sister Psyche pulled a bait and switch and she is inside Tyrka and Wade only got Aurora's powers (which could make him fail in the end). Also being inside Tyrka's body would put her in a perfect position to screw up Wade's plan at the last minute. It's convenient that Tyrka/aurora had "some things to take care of" before she would meet up with you and return your kindness.

Just a thought......

It's a good thing Sister Psyche can't just mind ride out of her body and inhabit another one....... Oh wait she can!! I highly doubt she is dead.

Gotta agree with Jay here. Ice blast is one of the better blast sets. Great ST dmg, ok AoE dmg, good secondary effects and some control.

Bitter Ice blast has better range than many of the other high dmg blasts and has some great side effects. BIB is one of the best overall ST ranged attacks in the game.

I'm also not sure why this is in the I22 beta forums.

Vigor is also particularly good on dark Miasma toons. The heal portion helps the heal and the servant's heal, End redux is extremely useful, and the accuracy is helpful in most of the powers as well.

Also almost all of the incarnate powers benefit from Heal, end redux and accuracy, but none of them benefit from +rech.

I can also see vigor being good in Time manipulation. I find the set somewhat end heavy even with chrono shift and the set has 3 different heals that can benefit from it.

I don't know that I would support a sorcery blast set, but what I would support would be a wand/staff blast set similar to what the Carnival of Light uses. It could have several different models and the blasts be tintable as well.

I don't see this breaking any more origin boundaries than has already been done with BR/DP/AR.

It could be added across all 3 blast ATs and open up development of future weapon models as well.

It looks like the % to proc did go up, but it's only in the long version of the powers if you click it in the create tab.

The math is wrong on tier 4 spectral radial, it was 6% and a 250% increase should be 15% not 12.5%.

The Spectral Interface chance to immobilize has been increased by 250% at all tiers.
The Cognitive Interface chance to confuse has been increased by 200% at all tiers.


Did these actually increase or are the descriptions not updated? They still show the same % to proc as previously.

I've done just fine without it through 50 lvls. If my build opened up a little bit I might take it for another basilisk mule, but the -regen is so low it wont do much more on top of Time Crawl. The -heal has it's uses, but I can stack blind so quickly I don't really need another hold to stack against bosses.

Did anyone happen to notice that Sorceress Serene's profile shows her as being an Autumnal Control/Autumnal Assault Dominator.........

More to add to the list:

Regen being nerfed...... each time.

Accuracy being nerfed each issue.

Dark Melee having lower accuracy than all other sets.

A complete and total lack of Dual Archery/Dual Trick Arrow Sets.

..... and most of all this game going to the Americas!!
