... oh, hey!
Once i16's up and running, I actually might look at Ouroboros once in a while.
Having Vengeance and Fallout slotted for recharge means never having to say you're sorry.
Yeah, I'd say that's a good feature. But lets be honest, once you get to 50, the exp no longer matters...and if you really enjoy your toon, Ouroboros is a great way to keep playing it.
Not to mention the Mission Merits you get from it.
Mayhem Missions.
You mean there's a purpose to Ouroboros other than the Ouroboros badges? Hmmm...

They all laughed at me when I said I wanted to be a comedian.
But I showed them, and nobody's laughing at me now!

I was just thinking about how it's a shame Ouroboros does not offer ALL the missions we might miss out on.
Recently, I've started several toons that I literally get a couple levels on, turn off exp, complete all their contacts on, then turn on exp and repeat. It takes time to level that way, but I can't believe how much content I've missed.
On my first 50, I levelled him the long and slow way, actually taking a couple years (been playing since early beta). Even so, I missed about half the arcs in Ouroboros with him...even though I tried to get them all as he levelled. It wasn't untill Boros came out that I realized just how much I missed.
Since, I've completed most of them through Ouroboros (all except the bugged ones).
But when I started doing these other toons, taking my time, and realized how much Ouroboros even misses, I couldn't believe it. The sad thing is, a lot of those contacts have some pretty good arcs to them...I've actually found yet another source of joy in this game by doing things this way.
So, I was thinking...why doesn't Ouroboros offer all the contact missions?
It would be great if the devs added the arcs to the Ouroboros system. One thing I've noticed over-the-years is that the Devs tend to focus on a new project until it's implemented, then abandon it within a few months afterward (the exception being AE which had become damaging to the game until i16).
The Solution?
Each issue, the devs should make a commitment to also focus on improving a pre-existing feature of the game...an area that has needed adjustments for a while.
In my next tangeant, I'll go further into the idea and expand on it. For now though, I'd like your thoughts on the Ouroboros system and ways it can be improved.
