Access to Cimerora

Can I suggest finding an alternative way to access Cimerora other than The Midnighter Arc.
Cimerora still has to be one of the most popular zones to go to, yet the only way to get there is through the same old boring arc.
Can we not attach access to cimerora from a lvl30+ TF somewhere, or even as a added bonus from doing one of the ourobouras TF's (in my view these TF's are underplayed and are excellent).
If anyone else could come up with a better way I would like to hear it.

It's not that tough of an arc, and lore-wise the Midnighters are the ones helping Imperious, so I'd say "Not likely."

The alternative is them opening it up like the RWZ, and that would be rather (a) disappointing and (b) boring.

See my Guides and Tutorials

It's a six parter, and I rarely get it done in one play session, even with a team.
In fact, getting a team together to run it is like pulling teeth.
It may not be "difficult", per se, but everyone I know thinks it is jaw-cracking tedious. And it's annoying that Cim is gated in this manner.
I understand the gate, but I would also like to see an alternate gate for it.

.

Reduce the recharge time on the Cure the Lost Wand (name?).
12 seconds between recharge is tedious when you want to join an ITF but need to wait so long - I know 12 seconds is not a lot but when im running a level 35 in Skyway targteing grey Lost waiting... waiting... waiting... use the wand... waiting... etc.

I dont mind the missions but I also think a Base Teleporter/Crystal should be available (only usable if you have completed the arc though).

I don't really care about Cimerora being gated. The part I don't like is that there is only ONE mission to join the Midnight Club. It was fun the first time, okay the next few, annoying the few after that, and now has become an exercise in tedium, Blue side or Red side.

I want options, darn it!

Truthfully, the red version of the story is better...sort of.

I don't find this a hard story to finish. But it is CoT, which annoy people.

Cim being opened up in any other fashion though just seems as though it would not work with the story at all.

It's a popular zone yes, but with going rogue and the Midnighters being yet another way to access both red and blue side, id say it's desirable to do anyways.

Not sure it's really needed, I think I'd rather have new arcs to something different, than a new way into Cim.

Like awesome new Midnighter arcs, possibly to new places!

Let me tell you about something that just happened to me 30 minutes ago:

I spent that last 2 hours leading a team on the Montague Castanella arch- but the mishes belonged to someone else. When it came time to talk to Argot'BurWot, I handed the star to the guy with the mishes so he could set it while the rest of us crafted, etc. We then headed to Perez Park to cure the Lost. Then we exited back to Steel Canyon-

And I abruptly Dc'd...

When I fianally got logged back in(all of two minutes later), my team was long gone. The one person left I could find acknowledged that they all got their shiny new Midnighters badge.

So. If I ever want to access Cimerora, I will have to endure the tedium of the Midnighter's arch yet again on the exact same character that's already done it, or wait for the serendipitous coincidence of seeing a rare broadcast for the last mish by some benevolent soul while I just so happen to be in Steel Canyon.

Suffice it to say:

/Signed

Actually I wouldn't mind a TF/SF at level 35 that gives access to it as a reward Like an ITF prequel.

The easy (and best IMO) solution is just to make this and all other similar gated content (i.e. the arc to get your cape, the arc to get your aura, the arc to unlock vanguard merits, etc.) global. Once you do them once, they're unlocked for all characters. It's not that they're bad arcs, and it's not that they're even that long or that hard. It's just that City of Heroes is an alt-heavy game, and they stop being fun after the first dozen times you do them.

I would like to see more Midnighter "Embassies" added to locations in the game with additional new "Time Zones" and expanded Cimerora content!

Choises are good idea indeed and TF sounds great option.

Midnighters are potential group and some more timetravelling would be cool. There was some suggestions about them some time ago. Feodal japan popped in to my mind for some reason...

Another shortcut is to see if anyone in the Globals is running it and jump in on the last mission.

I often hear people calling it out to see if anyone needs to access Midnighter's and allow stragglers to join up just to gain access.

I still want a SG Beacon to Cim. I mean, if we can get a Beacon to Pocket D, why can't we get one to Cim? A beacon to Oro would be nice, too. (Not really a necessity for either, but would be nice to have.)
