If you want to spend 20-30 minutes (more if an Invasion/Banner Event happens in the hunt zone(s)) hunting greys, feel free to do it on your own time.

If you're fiddling with Numina anyway ... is it possible to make all those hunts one big mission that happens all at once, instead of a whole bunch of sequential ones? It's a nice tight TF except for all of the waiting around involved.

I think it'd be interesting to have continuous ambushes of the appropriate villain group at appropriate TF level once all team members are present in zone... the ambush seeks the one with the star. Ambushes continue until the hunt total has been met.|

I know that can't happen because a lot of the lower level villains don't scale up to the level of the TF, but I still think it's be interesting.

Since they brought back the 5th Column, getting the 20 Council in Boomtown has become a challenge again -- not because Council in Boomtown are hard for a character running Numina's TF to defeat, but because you can't find spawns of just Council or just 5th Column, and the mixed spawns start whacking each other before you get within snipe range, much less AoE or melee range; it's hard to get in range fast enough to do enough damage to get credit for them.

I truly hope that if her memorial and the zone of the city named in her honor are destroyed, somehow she'll get a new memorial built in a different zone. IMaybe we could get a Galaxy Girl statue in front of the train station in Atlas, like the devs did with Cyrus Thompson in Kings Row. K |

I'd been suggesting a merge of Atlas and Galaxy for quite a while, but it seems like the devs have a more destructive thought process when it comes to solving thing slike that

Just my two influence about the Banished Pantheon in Dark Astoria for the Numina TF, I was milling about slaying the undead on my squishy when I was confronted by a BP ambush that conned at level 40. Now, THAT was a surprise!

EVERY character of mine for the last 7 years has gone to GC instead of AP. I loathe AP, and GC is where the RPers would always gather and hang out. It's so much quieter, and of course, it had Back Alley Brawler.
Where is BAB going to stand now? They'd better not be writing him out! I NEED to train my 50th level with BAB every time!!

Perhaps BaBs will be the new contact for the low-level stuff in Atlas Park, as a mirror to Marauder doing it in Nova Praetoria?
Nobody seems concerned about Jack Wolfe or Shadowstar. 
'I don't like the look of it at all,' said the King: 'however, it may kiss my hand if it likes.'
'I'd rather not,' the Cat remarked.
'Don't be impertinent,' said the King, 'and don't look at me like that!' He got behind Alice as he spoke.

totally agree, this is why I dislike this tf. I'd rather see an epic battle where all these groups come to you within the starting point of this tf. I wrote an idea for updating this tf but am to lazy to figure out how to link it here.
