The New Maria Jenkins Arc Rocks!

After going through it 1.5 times I gotta say I agree.
Admittedly, I've only seen in full the last half of the redone arc on live. But for the most part, aside from some new tricks for the AVs and new costumes and some copy changes, the arc *felt* about the same as it did before. Meanwhile, the new Positron Task Force which maintain the overall narrative thrust of the original but feels totally fresh and up to date. I think I was expecting more of that for the Jenkin's arc.
*pouts that he's stuck running the old one because he'd done the first mission of the old arc the day before GR came out* 
The real kicker is that I am in the same boat on a different character with Tina.
I would like it a lot more if:
(a) Siege was in it
(b) Nightstar counted for Dimensional Warder
(c) There were two Seer missions instead of one, to hlep with the Seers badge.
But yes, it is awesome. I really enjoyed it, especially the parts where I was given a tough ally to help beat up the bosses.

Tee Hee!
That brings up a question... if there is an added AV for the portal jockey badge and I have the old arc running (just did seige and nightstar) am I going to miss the badge?
I have this sinking feeling that I will.
The bagde requirments have been adjusted to match the retconned Tina and MJ arcs.

Hmmmmmm... maybe I did not see the new arc then?! Okay. Will need to keep my eyes peeled while climbing to 50/portal jockey with my next in queue.

How did they change Tina's arc... ?
Quote:
Well, it's the same basic story, but with upgrades of the models, maps and lore to make it sync with Praetoria 2.0.

That only makes him incorrect. Big problems with Dimensional Warder right now.

Pulled that from the badge-data that's on Live right now, so that's the accurate list.

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!

Well done. |

Just to be clear. The only places to find Siege are the old arc, and the random mission from Maria Jenkins, right?

I Ouro'd Tina's New Arc, I got Maria as a COntact did her arc, did the stand alone Seige and Nightstar missions. I have a ticketed sitting with senior support right now.
The only thing that disappointed me in the Arc is that Battle Maiden did not rez.

Is Mother Mayhem available in the old arc? I can't tell if the wiki is for the old arc or the new one.|

I don't suppose there is anyway to get a GM to reset the contact for me on the character that's only finished the first mission so I can start the arc over? ... nah... didn't think so.

I just did the entire revamped arc with my super group and we all had a fantastic time. As this arc is something that we do a lot for badge purposes, it's great to see it with such a great face lift. If this is some of the stuff we have to look forward to in the lvl 50 game, I can't wait.
