i ran the intro on all my 50s mainly due the fact that:

1. incarnate shards do not drop at ALL if you havent opened the slot and
2. shards and components are both untradeable anyway so if i do use my alt toons i want them to at least make progress on the boost

if shards could be gotten by anyone and were tradeable, then no i would not make all my toons incarnates or only make them at my leisure

the downtime to swap out alpha boosts is 5 min

from the times ive done tin mage and apex tfs, i think apex is way more fun and balanced than tin mage

apex tf is actually fairly fun, challenging but not too challenging, not too much of a grindfest, ect

tin mage on the other hand was like 10x more of a PITA in my opinion and i like challenging tfs, but tin mage was just annoying not fun

the 2nd and 3rd mishs werent too bad, the final battle was pretty epic, but i do agree than bobcat being that overpowered is not exactly enjoyable, i watched a brute get 3 shotted through unstoppable fighting her. the first mish wasnt too bad until we got to director 11, hes not too hard of an AV to fight, but he is insanely annoying because he just runs around like a chicken with his head cut off even when taunted, and i also agree that lvl 54 malta are prolly 10x more annoying than lvl 54 war works. i actually feel that most of the praetorian groups are overall weaker than most enemy groups

the biggest turn off for me is no purples/shards outside of dev choiced content

another turn off for me is i think a lot of the hyped arcs, guest author arcs, dev choice arcs, and hall of fame arcs overall just suck, the mishs are in no way fun to play and half of them the rewards are nerfed to hell cause authors cant edit dev choice at their whim

another turn off for me is the ticket cap individual maps, if i run a mish on the dreck map and get to 1500 tickets before i even finish 1/4 of the map, then something is wrong

i also agree that there should be some sort of timer put on so that invalid arcs are auto deleted after say 30 days of it being invalidated

ive never really had any issues with stone armor, while the movements and such are a little annoying, they really are not that big of a deal

the only things i could think of that would make the set better is removing the -rech penalty and changing rooted like roderick suggested (changing to have a grounded effect)

other than that the stone armor set isnt that bad

the most shards i ever got off of a tf was 14 shards in an ITF

overall i have 3 toons with uncommon boosts and 3 other toons with common boosts

some of those toons have a ton of extra shards too

im kinda 50/50 on this, the trial irks me in 2 ways, the PITA timing things and no drops or rewards period until the end

you would not get any shards from this most likely unless they are allowed to drop in this, and the most you could get is 1 component that you could easily just craft with 4 shards

i honestly would rather do a hami raid than a CoP any day, and hami cheats worse than the rularuu AVs by having untyped dmg and can kill phased things

not gonna bother with this cause they usually get claimed within 2 sec because someones web page loads faster than yours

edit: i agree that there needs to be a costume temps booster pack

my badge toon has 5/6 of the respec badges, the way he got 2 hero spec badges even though hes a villain to begin with, was i didnt claim 2 of the specs and then when i had fully changed alignment to hero, i went to jack wolfe and performed respecs and they gave me the corresponding badges for which i didnt use the respecs

i apologize for not making it to the apex, as you guys were starting when i was working on battle maiden in another apex tf (which i got MO on in the first run too which was sweet)

if i knew you were running a tin mage too i would have been up for that definitely as i still need the badges from that one lol

i have 19 lvl 50s to pick from, 15 of them still need a common alpha boost, so i can bring whatever is needed (dmg, control, mm for the temp, whatever just let me know, i should be around)

if im not around i prolly got bored and was playing borderlands lol

out of the 19 toons i have run through the intro, none of them did the honoree mish to help speed up the arc some (dropping that mish alone cut my arc time down to about 20 min)

from the 1 time i ran through the mish with a friend it was easy and we ran it on +1x4 no AVs

the tohit buff portion lasts for the duration of the power, each kin melee attack adds +dmg and the +dmg buffs stack up to 5 times

i would have been there too had i not had class during that exact time period lol

im really liking it so far, its giving my 50s something to do, its givin my main a ton more badges to get, once i get my last 50 through the intro ill prolly be doing a lot more tfs and events for shards to get boosts, ect

i havent even touched my non-50s as of yet lol

im upping to 33%

if it goes higher then im gonna pass on this round and will catch the next one

my main needs the badges for the new tfs, and yes he has something in the alpha slot, i should be back around that time lol

so far i got my badger up to 1167 with a cardiac boost slotted

i have 6 other toons which have finished unlocking the slot

ive done 1/? respecs so far

i still got at least 8-10 more toons to get through the arc with and i need to do the incarnate tfs with my main for those badges lol

i prolly still got at least another month or so of just initial work (doesnt even count slotting the alpha slot on all the toons either lol)

ill up my bid to 28% and use 400 mil

i should be on around that time, i have 3 toons avail to run that with so ill bring what sounds best that day

yesterday i had no issues with this and i used it about 4-5 times, today first time i used it, it said was already logged in and went back to login

i topped my main off at 1165 last night, decided to give him a break before getting more, atm hes only missing 15 new badges (13 are incarnate related, 2 are from the villain arc cause he cant do that yet as he is vigilante to work on the last 2 hero day jobs)

i estimate by the time im done most of the incarnate related stuff i should be near 1190

only in mishs, or you can get some from completing the great escape event in neutropolis

ill do my best to get around to playing this, but i may or may not be busy with i19 stuff this week (maybe the next couple weeks) lol
