I took a breather for a while, and I'm back now and wondering if I've missed the introduction of anythi g cool that I mifht be i terested in. Last I was keeping up was when Going Rogue went live and then when the first Incarnaye stuff appeared. I did all the Praetorian content etc, took my 50 through the first Incarnate arcs.

What new content/stuff has been introduced recently? I see mention of strike targets. What's that all about? I like to solo a lot, not really ibterested in WoW-style raiding, and like all factions.

Welcome Back!

Have you checked the Wiki?

The WST picks one TF to feature every week beginning on Tuesday after regular maintenance. Completing that WST awards increased rewards - double merits and a bunch of XP for characters under level 50 and any level 50 who hasn't begun the Incarnate content by opening their Apha slot.

Level 50s who have opened the Alpha slot are awarded a different reward that has to do with progress through that subsystem - I'm not really doing that with most characters (I only have 4 level 50s anyway) so I will let someone more familiar with that answer you.

The new Trials (Lambda Sector & Behavioral Adjustment Facility) are a bit like WoW raids, but they are generally really fast to complete - a major difference AFAIK.

Some very cool new taskforces mid-level. Mortimer Kai for villains unlocked via a tip mission and I forget the name of the new hero taskforce, but you get a whole mess of AVs in the last mission, plus you finally get to give Fusionette the beatdown in revenge for all the times she agro'd crap on you in Faultline =)

Well, an evil version of her but still the core concept is there.

Thank you everyone at Paragon and on Virtue. When the lights go out in November, you'll find me on Razor Bunny.

Were you around for the addition of Apex and Tin Mage?

Are they high level TFs? I heard about the automatic queuing system for TFs and was punching the air 'yes!' (I have the devil of a time finding TFs generally) until i found out it was only for the Incarnate trials.

I just read the update on the Issue 20 Incarnate ascending thing and it unfortunately offers me nothing, really. Hopefully Issue 21 can give something for the low levels.

Eco.

I've also been away, about 4 years. last thing I remember was when they normalized the first two blaster powers of every set i.e. changed my baby ice's animations to feel really weird. It's been so long i feel like a complete retard at this. First off, i started the 7 day trial on a second account. What the hell is this praetorian ****? Is it like heroes/villains can team up in this reality? Also, I noticed the fitness pool is passive now, FINALLY. gd, I absolutely hated levels 10-22 because those were completely dedicated towards the fitness pool lol, good move there.

Do buffs still stack indefinately? I remember if there were like 2-3 kinetic defenders on a team it was basically godmode. Haha I remember Fire/kinetics controllers were all the rage back when I last played. Boost all the imps and farm group missions solo. Also, i noticed psychic wail's icon is still unfixed, nice.

So my brother and I want to start up a leveling duo, what archetypes would mesh well (heroes and villains)? I know usually anything works, but I figured I'd ask here.
