Is it me, or...?

Howdy folks.

Seems like if I have a new character, and I'm doing missions with it... and I've *never* been to the Hero Corp Rep to change my... uh, rep... I'm doing missions with +2Lt and minions.

Not that my character can't handle it, but it still seems... odd to me. I would think that the missions would be +1 at max. Heck, I'm getting EBs. *EBs* on a Hero Level 1, single man mission. Seems like that's not right at all.

Am I right in thinking this is incorrect? Or did I miss a memo?

Thanks!

/Grav/Kin 'troller soloing an EB does take a bit of time and patience, but Atta went down, yo.


August 31, 2012. A Day that will Live in Infamy. Or Information. Possibly Influence. Well, Inf, anyway. Thank you, Paragon Studios, for what you did, and the enjoyment and camaraderie you brought.

The Atta mission is a special one. IIRC, it's programmed to be -1 at the beginning and +2 at the end. That's just the way it's written.

I can remember being on teams who walk in and see Blue and Green cons and go out to raise the Rep and reset, only to be faced with Purples they cannot defeat by the time they get to the end of the mission.

I think we're technically supposed to level up as we fight through that mission, which would make the boss only +1 by the time we get there. I don't know.

Atta has always been an EB.
The Atta mish (one of the best mishes in the game too) the trolls scale up the deeper you get into the cave.

You are correct.
There are a LOT of trolls in that mish. It is one of the largest single missions in the entire game. When I do it i defeat all the trolls and the entire team always gains between 23 and 25 bars of XP.
Doing Atta is a great reason to do the hollows. The whole Outcasts-Frostfire-Atta set of missions is a good way to get to level 18 from level 5-8.
