i think both suggestions are fairly good, but might need some tweaks

the first thing, there are a couple enemy groups in standard mishs that give a slight bonus to xp (their xp modifier is slightly higher than 1.00, but the bonus is maybe 1.05 or 1.1 for most things that have a bonus, with of course 1-2 of exceptions but for good reasons), so this wont be perfect in all situations, but if your assuming a standard, then i could see it working

for the 2nd idea, it definitly makes sense, but i dont think you should have to require 5 mish story arcs to get full xp, at least 3 mishs to get full xp. but 1 mish arcs should give a reduction in xp, at least something because if you require more than 1 mish to get full xp, a player is smart enough to make the the first mish the farm and then make some BS mishs to follow it so that it will give full xp to the first mish. this is the only issue with requiring people to have a certain number of mishs because most farmers would just add in "filler" mishs to still give their arc full xp

other than that, i think your suggestions are more valid than just "removing all xp" or the current system

my bane took scorp pool for shatter armor, an extra mass web nade, and the pet

i would join this if i didnt usually sleep in till 11 am lol

i agree with Pumbumbler

Mo runs can be sped or taken slowly (i got MoITF badge in like 1 hour and MoBSF in 4.5 hours)

when i did the MoBSF, i PuG'd it getting a team of 5 together, and the only melee toon we had was a dark/dark brute who never ran the sf before, the only thing i made sure we had before we started was a debuffer of some sorts since we only had 5 poeple, i think leading a master run is a little stressful trying to build strategy and stuff, but just running a Mo run isnt too stressful as long as you are a little more careful than normal and stick to the plan the leader decides to go with

i actually dont really care for fire control too much, and i think plant control is much stronger than fire

i recently made a dual blade/regen and hes lvl 21 atm and so far i been enjoying him immensly

IOs will not work if your more than 3 lvls below the IO lvl (with exception of purples)

if you have lvl 50 IOs, then they will stop working if your below lvl 47

purple IOs will always work regardless of your lvl

i wouldnt mind the LGTF master badge as much, but im not bothering to try yet until we know for sure that the greens are fixed and WAI

as far as i know, oil slick will always ignite if hit by a fire or energy type power, when i used to have a thug/TA mm, the oil slick never failed to ignite as long as i made my arsonist hit it

i decided to run barracuda sf to see if reichsman was having issues still or if the infamous mm temp bug had returned, but everything was working fine.

just did a run at +1 difficulty and finished in 2 hours 33 min

so i can confirm that the sf DOES work and shouldnt have any issues

i dont think killing hami through greens is enough to finish that mish on LGTF, i think i remember poeple reporting they went through and killed hami but the green mitos didnt die and mish didnt complete (this was before the apparent "fix")

IMHO i think 50 mag protect is way too much for task force like everyone is saying, but i understand the point of the mitos and they should possibly get a reduction in that to make it like 10-20 (which is fairly achievable by majority of teams)

been up for awhile here

gratz on the 5k posts Pilgrim, i just passed 1k posts a week or 2 ago

im a huge badge person, i do badges before i do anything else usually

i do like playing with stuff in the MA but im a horrible storywriter and i cant get purple drops from 99.9% of the AE content (no i am NOT running dev choice stuff just to get purples because i dislike 2/3 of the dev choice stuff).

pvp i generally avoid because there are no incentives to doing it other than a win-the-lottery PVP IO, if im in the zone ill fight back but 80% of the time i lose because of how gimped pvp is now (pre i13 pvp i have to admit was more fun, and im NOT a pvper so what does that say about current pvp?)

i think the hardest fight ive seen so far is when i ran it with a demon/traps mm, 8x ember demons with stacking shields and the clones were killing tohit with smoke grenades, i was blinded about 3/4 of the time

when i ran it with my fortunata suprisingly they didnt use mind link at all which made it much easier since they didnt seem to be running any toggles either

yup, just be a team leader and you will get credit for those
