Haven't done any praetoria arcs yet but....are they still only giving 2 merits per arc?
I thought that was just placeholder until they put in the real arc merit values.

motivation to move on to primal earth?

Me thinks they forgot to adjust the rewards BEFORE moving stuff LIVE.
Blazara Aura LVL 50 Fire/Psi Dom (with 125% recharge)
Flameboxer Aura LVL 50 SS/Fire Brute
Ice 'Em Aura LVL 50 Ice Tank
Darq Widow Fortune LVL 50 Fortunata (200% rech/Night Widow 192.5% rech)--thanks issue 19!
Hrm, that means the big trial added this issue probably still has placeholder merits too.
Makes me wonder what the rewards team does with their time.

Implements a new kind of drop that grants a one-time-use contact?
Puts together a bunch of badges for a brand new 1 - 20 leveling experience?
Nah, they called in sick the past 9 months.
Was thinking more about the last week or so, for some reason I thought all the people running arcs in beta would be enough to give them a decent baseline to set the rewards based off of and replace the placeholder merit amounts.
Of course, they also tend to be *Very* reluctant about raising rewards on things.

1) Hardcore players using their knowlege of the game to run through the arcs quickly -- even if they aren't trying to do so.
2) Serious testers trying to break the game -- they might spend an hour poking at a mission to get things to go wrong.
Neither one is representative of how long it will take the average player to complete an arc.
Even just basing it off the fast people would be better than 2 merits per arc, I think.

Maybe they hate praetorians even more than they hate villians on merits?
I'm wondering if I'll actually come up any shorter than I did with getting my Hero to 20. With my Praetorian, every single mission is part of an Arc that eventually awards Merits. With my Hero, there were radio missions and safeguard missions to do, and bridging missions between the arcs to find the next arc. Also, none of the first missions until I was sent to the Hollows was an arc that awarded merits.
I'll be interested to see how many Merits my Praetorian has at level 20. Right now, my Hero at 20 has 34 Merits, and my Praetorian at 8 has 6 Merits.

Dont think that will be an issue. i have 66 merits at 18. ofcc i cant do the remaining arcs because i wasted my last loyalist/resistance choice and cant do the remaining powers arcs.

I've noticed the rewards are small and the mobs are huge. Something seems off.
/gignore @username is the best feature of this game. It's also probably the least used feature.

The thing that really is bugging me other than receiving 1 merit for some arcs is how little inf i´m making doing all these arcs. 16k buys me like 3 level acc do´s

No, but you need them if you want the badges and temp powers. It's part of the overall experience you're guided to.

By level 12 my stalker soloing through arcs had 16.814 inf a bunch of salvage and some not so valuable level 10-11 rare recipies.
I have soloed stalkers before and i could always buy do´s when reaching 12
The merits are another thing. Some of these missions are long enough to make multipe speed runs in the same time frame.
Is it just me or is the rewards in Praetoria really low?
