It is not just Ouro portal entries. I was able to enter the mission through the RWZ hero portal and my pets were the first to attack other team mates. Our Illusionist wasn't able to teleport us, the debuffs were slowing my attack rate, and forget about a hero or vigilante healing or rezzing the 3 rogues on the team.

I have a LOT of AoE attacks and I am sure as I was firing away at Reichman I was probably doing damage to the tank and scrappers but the alternative was to do nothing and watch my team mates die anyway because we wouldn't have had enough damage to defeat any of the AVs in Reichman's chamber otherwise. I never touched my Omega Manuever (or as I call it my mini nuke) because I was afraid of causing a team wipe.

As Valance mentioned we stuck it out and by finding positions where debuff were minimized and AoE damage reduced, along with a SERIOUSLY long battle with Reichman, we hung on for the win. I'd team with any of those people again.. NEVER SAY QUIT! :-D But I certainly hope the devs are working this issue.

Am usually solo and happy to run at +8 foes so would be grateful for any steers as to a good location or mission (not mayhems) that I could crack on to the total please.

Thanks muchly.

Can anyone recommend on the Hero side, which story arcs can I do that give the best Merit rewards? Also, which story arcs are repeatable to get the same Merits each time I run them, of course after the 24 hour cool down period.

It's a bit confusing and seems wasteful.

If you don't do the Faultline arcs but have a contact there they will insist on introducing another Faultline contact even though you have outlevelled the zone. I've had Doc Delilah and Agent G show up as active contacts post level 30.

If you're a member of a VG and turn to Hero alignment, you remain a member of the VG (even though you can't access its base) until you quit it. If you return to Villain alignment without joining another SG inbetween, your access is restored and your prestige earned remains the same.

where before you used to click on it and it would take you to the contact?

Maybe the batteries need to be replaced?

If the TF had started with level 50s in the first mish, we would've been totally alright. Just reassemble the team and restart with a level 50 leader. I just find it frustrating that if this is actually WAI, you get no warnings at all and BAM! you have a TF that's impossible for most teams to complete if you happened to pick a sub-50 leader.

It seems that on some missions that have "built-in" cells that substitute as hospitals once you die, will read as foes once you are down to the last kill. For example, if you are doing a cave mish with those holding cells in them and you come down to the last kill, open up your map and see all of the doors hi-lighted as foes. It's actually pretty funny as I was on some teams that thought they were foes and they all headed over to the cells and no one was there..lol.

Since this new "last object left" tracking system was added, I do find it very helpful (especially in caves) getting to the last objective or kill. I think enough people were complaining prior to that trying to find that blinky or last foe.

Back to the cell doors. Me thinks that because the cell doors are something that can be damaged and/or that you can interact with, the program thinks and reads these as actual foes and thus they show up on the map. I really don't know the true answer so I gave it my best shot..hehe.

I have a set of settings that works well for play, except for Mothership Raids, where it is just simpler to crank everything to minimum. It's easy to crank to minimum, but with all of the settings now with Ultra Mode, it's a pain inputting everything again when the raid is over.

No the reason they currently limit our names to 20 characters has more to do with what _Pine_ and je_saist were talking about. It's more a formatting/GUI thing to make sure the way people's names are displayed is reasonable and tidy. Ultimately yes it was an arbitrary decision, but like many things in software development it was a compromise between satisfying the needs of the majority of players versus making sure the GUI screens were formatted correctly.

I'm not against people having the personal freedom to have huge names, but honestly in teaming situations I find it a PITA to deal with having to invite or chat to people with long names. That's actually part of the reason why most of my characters have relatively short names to begin with. YMMV.
