Tie Epic unlocks to Task Force Completion?

Well, one solution to the "but it takes a team to do a TF" argument is that if the Moonfire TF was required to unlock Kheldian ATs, it could also have the team size requirement dropped to 1.

That way anyone could solo the TF and earn the reward.

(The AV would probably have to drop to boss or EB as well, I guess, if the TF was being soloed.)

Frankly, I think the 2 biggest obstacles to running the Moonfire TF have been the high team size and the out-of-the-way location (at least since i8-ish).

Not every character can solo a TF, especially in the 20s.

The obvious solution to the problems of an Unlock EAT T/SF is to just make it a story-arc. That way you can solo it and AVs/Heroes would just downscale to EBs, so even the weakest of Defenders should be able to do it on the lowest difficulty with liberally-applied inspirations.

Much as I love more content, though, I think I still prefer the Unlock At 20 approach.

Or better yet! Make new Epic ATsthat have to be unlocked using those same TFs.

Moonfire = Nictus

Renault = Coralax

YAY! Always wanted some new epic ATs!

I'd like some new ones as well (with better stories behind them than the VEATs, tyvm.) I don't think the devs want to tie epics to a side any more, though. (Plus, Nictus = villains. They want to feed off of and/or eradicate the Kheldians as well as take their hosts by force, so I don't see that being a good heroic reward. *cough*)

However, I'd love to see Coralax - with "separate but equal" content (unlock it either side unlocks for both sides, with differing arcs - think Rikti traditionalists vs restructuralists.)

All that said, after considering it a bit - a TF as an option to unlock, sure. Mandatory... no, that I can't get behind. The idea of a story arc, though, to unlock them - that, I like.
