Thanks!

2) You can tank (or someone else) this time around, I am probably going to bring my blaster again to try for dodger (if we are light on support, I can switch to something more appropriate).

My comment: Luna & I tried running it with everyone getting the mission & following along on our Pinnacle Static Team & it was somewhat screwed up - not everyone's missions were completing & I didn't want that hassle again.

Luna's follow-up comment: Today's patch *might* fix it, but I haven't read the patch notes. It is majorly broken on live. At least with Ouro you'll all be on just one instance of the mission. It's failed to auto complete on multiple times for me.

It is more of a convenience thing really, there are a few talks, through ouro, only one person needs to talk rather than making sure everyone gets the next part of the mission, etc.

First of all, the Incarnate Thread rate-of-income in Dark Astoria is garbage. It really is; takes forever.

And we've got these Incarnate Abilities that take three Components to craft. Three Commons for a Common, two Commons and an Uncommon for an Uncommon, and two Commons and a Rare for a Rare.

The Rares, as you know, are chiefly useful for level shifts in Lore and Destiny. But what does it take to get them?

Well, Common Components are 20 Threads. Not too bad, you're guaranteed at least that in the daily arc bonus and it's quick enough to get that many through the repeatable missions.

Uncommons are 60. Eh, it's a bit more, but not too out there. I mean, it's like three Commons all on its own, plus the two more you need to actually craft an Ability, but it's still something you can knock out in a day with a mix of the arc bonus and some repeatable. It's just 100 Threads total if you do it all from scratch.

Remember, the drop rate for Threads is laughably low, and you can only get one per repeatable mission after the first one each day (which awards a grand total of two).

And then there's the Rare Components, which in addition to costing 100 Threads, also cost 25,000,000 Inf and--get this--four Uncommon Components. This is 380 Threads from scratch. Doing the math, this makes a single Rare Ability equivalent to 3.8 Uncommon Abilities, in addition to the Uncommon you need to craft it!



But wait!

That's not the joke!

As you can see in the picture, I have everything I need for my last Level Shift, and I didn't get it in Incarnate Trials. It was easy sailing to just wait it out and grind the Threads and Components I needed in Dark Astoria.

The joke, which you're probably curious about by now, is that the progression in Dark Astoria was made as pitifully slow as it is for the very purpose of pushing players to run Incarnate Trials. Ha! As if!

Sorry, devs, but it didn't work. Solo progression may be absolute rubbish, but it's a long shot from convincing me I have to run Incarnate Trials. Nice try, though!

Haven't checked yet to see if Mr E-Man has the badge.
