"To die hating NCSoft for shutting down City of Heroes, that was Freedom."
I only made it through the first part with Des and a few others last night, but that was actually pretty cool. I liked the look of the revamped maps (much more atmospheric), and thought the storyline worked better, too. It is a little weird that you hear about a plot on the dam but have to continue that storyline in a different TF (since the storylines are usually self-contained), but it was still fun.
The mission with Rollister is still the worst, at least it was for us. We did okay rescuing the other heroes, but the ambushes we had at City Hall wiped us out (except for me, who ran away when everyone else died... *ahem* who made a strategic withdrawal and slowly dropped the mobs chasing while the other revived!). We then had issues, since the ambushes seemed to have gone back in to City Hall and couldn't get in. We unlocked things by clearing the mobs near the front of the Hall and went inside, keen to continue. ...where we were swarmed by three Ruin Mages and a bunch of ghosts. Joy. Took us a few attempts, but we managed to get those okay, and our doubles weren't too much of an issue.
I'm not very happy that just five heroes managed to get three ruin mages in one mob (and waiting for us just inside the door of city hall, no less), as that seems to be a bad design... but maybe we just had bad luck? We were also at +1, so that might have had something to do with it. Still, it reminded me far too much of how the Posi TF ran back in the day.
Overall, it was fun, except for that last mission.

Hmmmm, sounds like I might have time to run this Tuesday night with Grey Pilgrim. I was wanting to tonight but got on too late.
What are the changing objectives you all mentioned? Curious as to what those are.
