I think one good way to make a boss fight more satisfying to to draw it out and make it into something more than just a simple beat-down of an enemy. A good example of this would be the fight with Marshal Blitz in Who Will Die #3. Instead of just one quick battle, there are stages. First you have to take down the thingamajigs that make him invulnerable. Then you fight him directly for a while. Then he gets in an aircraft and you have to shoot it down. Then he gets out and you beat on him some more until he falls.

I know some players hate this kind of set up ("how many times do I have to kill this same guy?") but it avoids the situation where a boss fight is over surprisingly quick. I think Marshal Blitz was a tough fight, but even had he been easy, the battle would have been pretty memorable because there was a lot to it.

I think they tried to do the same thing with Wade at the end of #7 but for me it didn't really work because you're really just fighting his minions until he comes down and faces you himself--at which point I took him down way faster than I expected to.

Are you talking about your master account or the Paragon market?

In your other thread where you talk about having problems resetting your password, you mention being anxious to buy staff fighting, which implies you're trying to get on the market. I've never had to re-enter a password to access the market when I'm already in game, I just click on the icon and it takes me straight there.

Are you doing something different?

Honestly, I do think the name is potentially problematic and you may have to change it if it gets reported. I doubt there would be any other reprocussions unless you actively tried to impersonate a real staff member, so I think you could just wait and change it when/if you have to instead of rerolling. Alternately, you could express your concerns to customer support and see if they will give you a rename token now.

Sounds like the OP is having all the same problems I did first time through arc #7.

I found the door at the end of the cave but clicking on it didn't send me to the temple. Had to resent the mission to get it to work right.

Then the last ambush of Rularuu wouldn't spawn and it just kept cycling through endless waves of apocalypse beams. I'm sure there was a critter stuck somewhere but I never found it. Once again, reset the mission and it worked right.

Glad to see I'm not the only one to have these problems.

I've taken 2 blasters, 2 masterminds, a scrapper, and a defender through the Praetorian content and didn't have much trouble with any of them.

Probably a better question is which AT not to take through Praetoria. There are many ambushes in those missions, most of which target the character and can see through stealth, so Stalkers are at a disadvantage. I haven't tried a stalker there myself, but I remember many complaints from stalker players. And I know my primal Stalkers always hated those kinds of ambushes.

I also seem to remember many players complaining that Dominators had a rough time with Praetorian content, but my friend, despite being a very casual player, had no trouble with his in Praetoria (and I see the last poster said his Dom did the best) so I don't trust that particular warning.

Well, there's always the option to transfer. I believe VIPs have been getting 1 free transfer per month, so hopefully you've saved up a few?

I've never had this problem on my computer, but my friend does. Every time I've played on his computer I've had to force close with taskmanager on the first attempt and then it works fine the 2nd try, exactly like others are reporting here.

I thought he did have it set to auto close the launcher, but I'll check.

I just did Bane Spider Ruben's arc this weekend for the first time and I have to say I really enjoyed the story. The final mission especially was very cool.

Curiously, though, I only found this arc by chance. I logged on to a villain I hadn't played in a while and wasn't sure what I wanted to do, so I hit "search for contact" just to see what would come up, and I got Ruben, who wasn't on my contact list. Certain characters and references in the story make it clear this is recently added content. Seems like most of the newer contacts are added to my active contact list when a character hits the appropriate level, and is indicated by a pop-up, but this guy never was. I checked some of my other villains and none of them had Ruben on their active (or for that matter, inactive) contact list, although they also could get him by selecting "search for contact" if they were in the right level range.

Is Ruben normally introduced by another contact? Or by completing a mayhem? I looked on Paragonwiki but there's almost no information about this contact yet.

I've noticed the wards not showing up in the Scintillating Prism area, where Heather Townshend is. I thought maybe there was a reason, but now I imagine it's just a bug.

Edit: I seem to recall that a player logging onto a character in a particular spot can sometimes cause certain non-enemies to despawn just like they were enemies (the target dummies in the Vanguard base in the RWZ come to mind). Maybe this is whats happening here? I'll have to log out at a ward location and log back in to see if this happens.
