I just did the story arch from the above contact today. It was a rather interesting story arch but I have issues with the last mission.

The last mission of the story arch gives you a temporary power that makes you invincible and plays out like a farm mission. I thought the deves were trying to stop farms, not create them. This is an official mission where you spend nearly 2 hours just killing giant mob after giant mob of Legacy Chain. This would need a team if it wasn't for the temp power that makes it so you never lose health or end for the entire mission. And it didn't even mater than my pets bugged out and stood at the door while I fighting either, I freaking soloed this mission as a Mastermind with no pets. It's not a challenge just time consuming. I probably could of turned the mission up to x8 +3 and to fight heroes while solo and still finished the mission this way without a scratch on me but it'd take longer to finish.

The thing that makes this even worse than a farm is that only bosses are worth any XP. I think I killed about 5 bosses that did give XP for every group of 500 that gave no XP.

Basically, if you're going to give us a mission that gives such little XP and is no challenge then make it shorter. I was only attacking bosses at first then after I figured out they couldn't hurt me about 1/4 of the way threw the mission I didn't even pay attention to what I was doing and just started mashing buttons.

People have been saying this about CoH for YEARS that it was nothing but button mashing and no strategy and I've always defended that it wasn't true and then you go and throw this at me to show that I've been defending the game for no reason. Stuff like this is why so many people have stopped playing the game and you're making it really hard to bring back costumers who left already when you put crap like this in.

Fix your content. I'm going to assume this an unintended bug and a one time fluke but please fix this. Keep putting stuff like this in the game and all your long time customers will be gone by this time next year if not sooner. Some have already left years ago for exactly these reasons and I've had trouble finding decent teams ever sense. There's like 3 people on my global that still play, they other 30 I haven't seen sense maybe issue 9.
