Oh Avatea, we need the August Weekly Strike Targets post updated sometime in the next few days please.

Thanks

Would be nice to see a lower level SF/TF the week of 2x exp. Having something like Khan be the WTF seems kind of wasted.

They made Apex the WST this week precisely because of 2XP. Count on Tin Mage in a couple weeks.

That would be cool but only if they some how make it so that Rogues can enter Hero Oro and Vigilantes can enter Villain Oro.

Until then, no thanks.

If a TF doesn't deal with trial type rewards, it's on a low rotation by default. Only Sutter/Kal seem to be exceptions and those are new. Some others get love, but this is far from a well done rotation. Virgil Tarikoss and Synapse have yet to be done despite numerous TFs being done 2-3 times, but those are tied to Incarnate rewards. Why is it hard to do lower level teams? The WTF is vastly built for Incarnates so people just keep playing their level 50s. I really wished they had a WTF for end game and WTF for non-end game.

They did the level 24 Re(Tree)spec trials as WSTs at one point if I'm not mistaken.

I thought Virgil had been done but it was paired with newPosi as opposed to Synapse. Plus, Eden Trial got picked as a WST and it doesn't have a true redside counterpart. I like Eden and all but I thought it was an incredibly weird for Eden to get picked over the Ouro TFs. I really hope the Rogue/Vigilante thing isn't the reason because in my opinion it's poor logic since they still have access to their original side and with enough warning they can switch sides then switch back if they want to bad enough.

My guess is they do those since there is a reward that people find useful. I also understand getting to 20 isn't a huge requirement and all the more so with the speed of getting through Praet., but it would be nice for Virgil Tarikoss and Synapse to be added since they are part of an accolade. Of the months we have had the WTF, two of them were nothing but Incarnate related WTFs. I soloed a lot during those months.

Since you've listed Dam Hero and/or The Rule of Three (from Positron in Steele Canyon) / The Beast Beneath the Mountains (from Virgil Tarikoss in Cap au Diable) the week of Double XP Weekend, can you confirm whether the big chunk of bonus XP at the end is going to be affected by Double XP?

(edited for the correct week, duh)

Forcing players to run through hoops to play with their friends is a bad idea.

Using myself as an example, I'm currently a Rogue. Most of the people I play with on our regular group night are Vigilantes. We only get a few hours to play with each other each week and we generally run the WST.

If the Oro TFs were the WST, this would mean that I will have to run 11 missions over the course of at least two days prior to our group night to switch sides to be able to play with them. And after the WST is over, I will have to run 11 more to go from Hero to Vigilante. Then 11 more to go to Villain, and 11 more to go back to Rogue where I started. That's 44 missions just to be able to play one night with my friends.

So given the choice of new Oro TFs vs repeats of zone TFs, I'll take the zone TFs.

Still no love for Synapse. This would be all the more funny if it was a SF instead.

I'm not seeing it as jumping through hoops. At the same time, I'm just seeing it as just running the arc on your side and that the advantages of Rogue/Vigilante doesn't automatically entitle them to have everything (of note, Hero/Villain Merits). Though part of that also comes from the thought process of having more than one character and prefering side specific weeks over coop weeks since it mixes things up a bit rather than just having only one being run that week. *shrug* I mean, I was under the impression that part of the reason for putting the non level 50 TFs in rotation was specifically to add variety.

May we assume that this redname acknowledgment of a non-50 WST during 2XP Weekend means it won't be changed to a 50-only WST before 2XP Weekend begins? Because I seem to recall that happening before.

I don't want to see a TF below level 45 ever as the WST.

I'm intrigued, why? I disaggree but still curious.

Why - now that you can get shard drops anywhere there is no reason to ONLY run L45+ stuff. As someone who plays a lot of alts, I personally think ALL the WST's should be lower level. There are plenty of reasons to run the 45+ stuff these days, its hard to get folks to run the other TF's when you need a synapse or sister psyche for your TFC badge or want to work on your new low 30's scrapper and everyone else is running trials or the Tin Mage TF, or yet another LGTF, STF or Khan.

EDIT: Removed unneeded snarkiness (gotta rememeber not to post when my blood sugar is low :-)
