Well, you've missed a fair few things, really. Your 50s - once they've done the Incarnate entry arc (this is important!) may want to check out the Tin Mage and Apex TFs, available from the Rikti War Zone - they provide some tough new challenges (especially the first time you run them!). IIRC Apex is this week's Weekly Strike Target so if you can get Incarnated, you'll find a pretty decent reward waiting at the end (which will, in time, allow you to unlock Tier 3 and work towards Tier 4 of the "Alpha" Incarnate slot).|

I've seen a few familiar faces about, but 2.5 years away means I've missed an awful lot so, other than the Incarnate "intro" arc for the Lv50s and - obviously - Praetoria, what are the things new that I need see/do, the old things that have gone and the other things I've forgotten? If anyone wants me I'll be respeccing every toon I have and trying to use up to 100+ free costume changes they've accumulated... |
Lower-level toons around 20 or so should check out either Roy Cooling's (blueside) or Vincent Ross' (Redside) arcs, which are two of the most fun in the game (IMO).
Really low-level blueside toons might want to check the new Positron task force, now split into two rather-more-manageable chunks. However, one of the QoL changes - as I understand it - is that even while exemplared, if you're not level 50, you will now get XP - so you could take a 49 round that one, if you cared to. You will still lose access to powers unlocked after the max level of the TF, of course.
I should think you'll want to look at the new powersets - there are already guides available for them in the relevant fora here.
Oh, and of course, there are tip missions, which (once you've done 10) will allow you to change alignment from Hero -> Vigilante -> Villain -> Rogue -> Hero, or keep your current alignment for either merit rewards (Vigilantes and Rogues) or Hero/Villain merits; the latter have a special store each side and can be used to purchase anything up to and including purple and PVP recipes*. Worth looking over the price lists...
(*Purples and PVP recipes are not cheap, purchased this way, but if you don't have eleventy hojillion Inf on hand its another way of getting them...)
Anyway, welcome back and have fun!
