And, since work is kind of slow atm , my company is giving us some extra time off. (a day, but hey, it's something...heh) And I'd a vacation day or 2 to the mix, so i'm looking at a pretty long weekend...

Any chance i may have a new TF to play with?

Yes, it looks like Issue 15 is going live today.

Since the updater is currently patching the game to the same version number as Test, I would say chances are pretty good.

To be honest, I see the new TF as waste of time. Get the new badge, and never play it again. Woo.

That's probably my strategy for the villain TF. The hero one is probably worth adding to the rotation of TFs to play/farm.

I powergame TF's all the time, and I always pull my weight thank you. SK up to the max, and kick butt. It takes longer then a PL, but it's fun and you polish your skills with your current alt.

As for how fun the are, i have no idea. I rarely Beta test, i mean, i'm going to play it to death in live where it counts, so i don't burn myself out on it when it doesn't, IMO, "count" on test.

Cool. To bad i don't have anyone who can LEVEL on it, but i've got plenty of 50s ready to check it out.

Given that it's a 45-50, I think exp leechers will be few and far between. I was speaking of merit farming.

Yup y'know that's the only reason why they put in the sidekick/lackey feature was for them lowbies to suck up experience, not like they actually would ever enjoy teaming with their high level friends... *sarcasm*

PLing is not helping in any way, even if a lowbie is on a farm, as long as they are helping that is farming, not PLing...

People that doorsit, with a mentor are PLing leeches, I'm a farmer myself, I don't mind sking a lowbie and bringing them along, just as long as they are using any powers they have, even if it is just brawl.

I never let any forms of leeches on my teams, you want to do anything while I'm on you better help some how.

Hey EG, without spoilers (if that's possible), is there any reason the Villain TF has a bad rap with you compared with the Hero version? Difficulty, story?

(I've been too busy to commit to doing either on Test, so I haven't experienced either.)

The villain one is actually better from a story mechanics standpoint. It uses tricks that the hero one doesn't in telling its story.

The hero one is extremely straightforward, almost trivially easy and thus is better done purely for reward.

The stories of both have problems, IMO. The villain one is the better story, but it hamstrings your villain in the role of patsy yet again.

That was changed throughout the patches.

There are still a few problems with the story but beyond the initial concept of being hired for a job, there wasn't much patsying/lackying in the SF.

The Hero TF has a lot of non-sensical interactions and giant plot holes. The structure of the last version on Test makes it trivially easy to sprint through. If that hasn't changed between last week and today... yikes.
