This is just a guess, but did people aggro the weapon spawns?

We almost had him just now got him to like 16% before we timed out, would of had him if we'd been a bit quicker on restocking grenades.

What we did was after defeating the security bot, we all went for acid, ended up with 8/10 melted the doors while avoiding aggroing Marauder, got the final two acids while stocking up on grenades as well.

At this point we accidently aggro-ed him, if all had of gone to plan we'd of had 4 grenades, we had 2 at this point.

Had we been a bit smarter we could of lured him to the grenade crate spawn point and restocked while smacking him.

We also had three or four people less than we should of, so that didn't help.

It's easy enough to do.

Primal Earth is full of groups that 'know best' or at least think they do.

Heck it could even of been an accident on Portal Corps side of things, one they lie about to the player for reasons of PR. Perhaps Portal Corps did 'find' Preatoria first, using their probes. Perhaps said probe caused an accident, maybe crashed into a building or bus and killed several people. Maybe this has happened several times for Portal Corps, but Preatoria is the first incident where the other worlders can do something back.

That's how'd of written the first contact so that Primal 'fired first' but Cole intends to deal with the situation in a permanent fashion.

Level pact.

Swap character, team with your level pacted partner?

More that to progress Character X I must play as him, different to the IO system where I could transfer inf/recipes/IO's over to him.

So to progress I need to spend an hour on this character, fair enough, but oops the piece I needed didn't drop today, despite a successful run, I'll need to spend another half hour - two hours on this character tomorrow, despite my other 35 alts.

That's an hour per day/week/playtime per character you are trying to progress.

The game up until now has encouraged making alts, why has it changed so suddenly?

Given the next set of incarnate advancements and their rules, you could be looking at three to four weeks of BAF's just to advance on one character.

Missions in other zones, okay if it's not every mission (Skyway>Steel>Talos>Atlas>Steel> Skyway), talkies in other zones **** that hand me a telephone directory or something.

The beta forums.

Unfortunately taking tea in 'that' way has been judged as discriminative against minorties and thus been made unlawful, we request you turn your self into the police station.

You act like you've never played an issue before.

I was fine with the way the alpha slots worked.

"Oh I need this, I'll run that"

But having it so I can complete a task force and not get the reward I want from it is bull ****.

Keep than random reward **** in WoW please!

I know I should do, and I probably will do and break character in doing so.

But the repeatable missions, weren't part of Going Rogue launch.

I really feel like the Dev's messed something up on the progression through Preatoria.

Why would my Powers Division self interested dick head, suddenly feel the urge to help his lesser man, listen to anti government propaganda or grab some dynamite and row row fight dah powah?

Just annoys me it does.

Yes I've raided in WoW which is why I'm disappointed in CoX for aping its end game progression.

Especially if what I've heard from the beta server about random rewards for the Incarnate Trials is true.

The difference being WoW's raiding tends to make you focus around one, maybe two or three main characters.

We get 36 slots in CoX and have had what, seven years to build up a variety of level 50 characters. All of which need the axe, saw, chainsaw treatment to progress.

Not to be a negative Nancy, but even if your claims are true.

It is possible you'd be better at your job if you weren't missing what ever he is implying you are missing.

By the time I finish work it should all be over.

But since that day is now a bank holiday, I at least now get a day in lieu to use at my own convenience.
