Nope, that's what we know too.

I suspect we will hear something tomorrow after the Patch Notes go up.

I hope they announce March before the 1st.
But speaking of hearing something tomorrow after the maintenance... you don't think Avatea really meant it started at 7 PM EST do you? That's supposed to be AM... right?
New update has been posted: http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showt...95#post3498795
Apex will be the first WST after Sister Psyche/Silver Mantis.
March 1st to March 7th - Alpha Strike (from Apex in the Rikti War Zone)
March 8th to March 14 - Soul of the Woodsman (from Numina in Founders' Falls) / The Crystal of Serafina (from Ice Mistral in St. Martial)
March 15th to March 21st - Time's Arrow (from Imperious in Cimerora)
March 22nd to March 28th - The Praetorian Offensive (from Tin Mage Mark II in the Rikti War Zone)
March 29th to April 4th - Following Countess Crey (from Manticore in Brickstown) / The Temple of the Waters (from Operative Renault in Sharkhead Isle)
Well in case anyone is still wondering there it is!
So next week we all get to do Apex which is 2 missions long and generally drops about 2-3 shards maybe 4 if you are REALLY lucky. Plus I hate even trying that with my melee so I'll probably only do it with my Blasters and my Crab.
Week after we get Numina... Sigh so we get the JOY of trying to find 20 Council in Boomtown and PRAY that no Rikti Raids, Zombie Attacks or Banner events occur while we are running one or we all get to sit around twiddling our thumbs waiting to finish the task force. and of course forget any shards at all
Then its the ITF FINALLY.. a 45-50 level TF that has great shard drop potential and everyone these days knows how to run one and succeed.
Then its Tin Mage which is pretty good and I'll do that with any character but again only three missions and not a huge shard drop rate
And then Manticore. I actually like Manti and it can be finsihed pretty quickly if a team wants to but once again no shard drops.
I am beginning to wonder if the DEVS realize we have a LOT of players with multiple 50s and not every one of them has all the shards they need. I did 4 Sister Psyche TFs today and on two of them people were complaining that now they had all the Notices they needed but still had to get 10, 20, 30 ?? shards before they could craft a Tier 4. I am running 9 characters through incarnates at the moment. Today three made their Tier 4 enhancement and got their Incarnate badge. the forth has the 2 rares she requires, has her 2 Notices but still needs about 20 more shards before she is done. And I have 5 more to do this week. None of them are in a position where as soon as the Notice drops they can craft. I'll get there of course but these low level WSTs do not make it any easier.

I'm pretty sure they know that people still need shards. I'm also pretty sure they realize that we have a lot of players who won't do the WST and then hang up their supersuit until next Tuesday. |

The WST is NOT about levels 50 characters. The Notice is a perk, to allow us to work towards the rare and very rare alpha slots before i20. If you need more shards, skip the <50 TFs, and run the content that will give you the shards.

They are indeed aware of that concern, and already have something planned for Issue 20. From the February Producer's Letter:| I am beginning to wonder if the DEVS realize we have a LOT of players with multiple 50s and not every one of them has all the shards they need. |

So because 50's want shards, lowbies shouldn't be allowed to get in on the target action and the huge xp bonus it grants? Besides, if you need shards and already have the notices you need then, duh, do a high level tf that will give you shards. People are still running those. I saw plenty of them being organized on the channels last night.
Those of use who want to play some lowbies really appreciate getting a tf/sf where they can take their toons for some xp.

I couldn't agree more - not too mention the extra Merits (100 merits total +(40 Million) = 2 A merits = anything you want except purples and PVP IO's)

Freedom Server - Main = Lil Bug & way too many alts to list
I have 31 alts on my main server. Not all of them are 50 (yet). This week (and next), my 50s are on vacation as the rest of my toons will run Sister Psyche (then Numina) and get mad bonus XP. Week after, it'll be my 50s again, and I'll likely slot a bunch of ultra rares then too--waiting 2 more weeks for a very marginal buff is just not that big a deal. A mix of 50s and non-50s for ITF week (likely, all my current Incarnates will have the tier 4 this week), 50s again for Tin Mage & non-50s again for Manti. I for one am happy w/this schedule.
