Since the trial can only be started with a toon that's level 39-41...do the devs expect lots of altruists in the game to offer to start it for people who want the Notice? I'm sure they realize that 99.9999999999% of the players in this game are way too selfish for that.

Or are they actually gonna finally fix it?

Your comment is rude and insulting to the players.
Also, you are WRONG. Plenty of people volunteer to help others with all sorts of activities. I see it all the time. (I also do it a lot.)

He may be wrong, but that doesn't change that fact that it's a very small percentage of people that actually have a character that's within the required level range.

I've been wondering when Eden would pop up as a WTF, and if anything would be done as a result of this very issue. I guess we'll soon see.

I foresee much begging in channels for 39-41's to start trials because most will want to do this with their 50+'s.

Or the Devs could surprise us and actually fix a bug that has needed fixing for... how long? If not I'll be skipping that week because I don't want to be one of those standing in line for hours waiting for a team that happens to have a leader in the correct range.

Yeah... someone made an "altaholic" thread, so I pulled up my list on CIT to look.

290+ characters listed.
Characters that can start that: 0
Characters in that level range: 1 (villain, and no, not swapping sides.)
Closest character (heroside) : 2, one a Mind/Therm controller (35,) one that I have to fix a listing of (fire/dark, shows as a fire/EM.) (35)

Yep. If they fix it so anyone higher can start it, it'll help.

You and I do it. But what's the actual % of people who do?

More importantly, how many people are going to turn off XP on their characters to keep running it?

And how many people are going to start saying "Willing to start Eden WST, for X Million INF!"


Wanted: Origin centric story arcs.
If you've only played an AT once (one set combo) and "hate" it - don't give up. Roll a different combo. It may just be those sets not clicking for you.

I actually have a character semi-permanently locked at lvl 41 specifically for the Eden Trial. I just recently turned xp back on since another character is in range but I might turn it back off for him due to the WST.

Or, you know, the devs could fix it.



Slightly more sinister thought: They could replace Eden with the Abandoned Sewer Trial...

Admit it, Zam. You would be the happiest person in all of CoH if they did that.

I'm not saying noone is willing to help. I have a toon that I never play anymore but I keep him around because he has the Anti Matter mission saved, and the BP Mask mission saved at low level so I can help people with it whenever they need it. I'm saying that looking at the amount of demand that's gonna be around for it, and the amount of people who are actually willing to help is, like, tiny.

I must agree with other comments that, once you have your team recruited, it's fairly to recruit someone in the appropriate range.

Alternatively, you might want to try arranging for a friend that is in the appropriate range. That way you're ready to go when you've your team together.

Perhaps arrange a signup in the forums, with a request that someone is in the correct range.

Aside from that, perhaps not worthwhile to stress over missing a single WST.
