Well both contacts are handing out Ourobos style TFs, although neither appear on the map now since they where both on the map yesterday.
Theodan can be found at the Skyway police station
Alastor is found on the Southern Boardwalk in Cap
-14.0 -0.0 1964.2
for those of you that can speak /loc
I predict Alastor will end up being the Ghost of Numina's dad.
I already posted this in another thread, but, I started the Alastor arc tonight. Did the first mission (had the load screen sort of like the new tutorial, but said part 1 of 7).
Will finish this first part tomorrow I reckon.
Yep... that was the one.
But was it meant to be released or is this a bug?
Maestro Mavius - Infinity
Capt. Biohazrd - PCSAR
Talsor Tech - Talsorian Guard
Keep Calm & Chive On!

I don't know about "Epic." I'd withhold THAT label until we see the whole set. Interesting, sure. Making me want to see what's up with the next arc, absolutely. Bit short, but if they're pumping these out weekly and adding all they did this time through, I can't complain about that. (Well, yes, I technically CAN, but it's not something I would complain about given what they are and what they did.)
Not sure how my controllers are going to fair on these. At least this one. >.>
... but please, if possible, dump the "Click ENTER GAME to enter each mission" bit.
The villain one is more fun than the hero one.

Will have to check this out.
If you've played it already, please NO SPOILERS!
(That is not only for my benefit, but also for the benefit of other people who like to find things out for themselves)

As for the arc itself, I ran it in about 16 minutes, and while I was impressed with the maps, the arc as a whole felt a bit underwhelming. I felt it should have better taken advantage of the leaps and bounds that mission tech has taken in the past few issues. If this is supposed to be premium content that people will be paying $5 for, it should be reflected in more than just the magnitude of the rewards.
@Demobot
Also on Steam
One concern: It seems that the task force difficulty locks (-1 doesn't work, bosses don't downgrade) are in place for the arc. If this is WAI, fine. (I soloed it on a character who uses the -1 setting to solo regular content at a tolerable pace, and didn't have significant difficulty.) If not, it might be problematic later.
2 merits for completion, an additional 20 if you chose the merit multiplier reward, tasty
I think I missed it..lol

You can still do it. If you were like me, I saw the pop up and immediately dismissed it, thinking it was just another already known one. It didn't register until after I pressed the OK button that it was a different contact picture.|

EDIT: Just verified that Theodan is live and handing out the arc right now, after the server maintenance.
I find your lack of signature disturbing.
Are we supposed to be exemplared to level 20? I hate that. I didn't have many powers at level 20. I want to fight with my ultra-powerful incarnate. Not a level 20 newbie. :|

Not any different from other TF/SFs. It's closer to being like the Ouro TFs, as you can solo those.|

Besides which, they have a history of releasing new story arcs that are level limited; Darrin Wade, Jenni Adair, Keith Nance, etc.

is there a badge 4 this one does any 1 know

Heh, for all the grinding that goes into getting Incarnate stuff you can only use it in way less than 1% of the game.|

The arc was good, but I didn't like the level 20 thing either. It was short, I sure wouldn't be ponying up any real money for this.
What happens if you repeat the arc? What rewards repeat?

You get the standard merit rewards (2) and everything in there is still worth a little more XP/inf than standard enemies.

I did this on my Fire/Fire Dom and honestly I found it difficult. Then I starting thinking that a melee character may chew through this and got on my SR scrapper, and he did rip through it, but not as fast as I thought. My Dom is 18, and really has nothing slotted. My SR is 41, and IOed pretty good. Explemared down to 20 he was still at about 30% def to melee and ranged.
I'm not complaining about it being too hard. Difficulty can be good, but I can see ranged players having problems with some of this, that melee will probably LOL at.
There was an Elite boss that my Scrapper was in LOL mode, that rocked my Dom pretty hard. Even with Domination up I "think" I had Char stacked 4 times before I got the hold, maybe 4 Chars and 7 Rings of Fire, plus my AoE stuff just to get things stacked before the Elite was locked down. I would like to run this on my AR/Sonic Corr, but no way I am interested without a team on him.
I'm sure many of you are far more skilled than I am, but if you are ranged and do this solo I recommend you take a healthy dose of Inspirations with you. That being said, my Dom didn't die, but I burned every little trick/power/inspiration I had.
MM side note: There may be a few issues for you guys. Haven't done this on mine, but I can see a few areas that could be a nightmare, but I'm just guessing at that.

Running as a Ice/Ice Blaster, I saw the +1 EB, and I immediately pulled out a Shivan. He went down pretty fast, even for Synapse. |

IMO, the storyline is decent, and the maps are nice to look at, but could be a pain for MMs. Gotta keep a firm grip on them in some areas. Otherwise, short arc (15-20 minutes, barring issues with the EB), good rewards, and the appearance of an underused enemy group. Overall, I liked it.

and maybe have the loading screen change for each mission and have a comic strip telling the story, cos unless your talking to contact it you dont see much

ATO Felix - Gamma Anne - Fire me Boy!
Kit the Kat - Black Felix - Gremlet
Shadow Sorceress - Dr Doom and Gloom - Rob Rubble

Did it with a lvl 35 brute.
Hope the next ones are higher levels, for certain.
Ditch the enter game thing for sure. Very annoying.
It was certainly fun, but no premium player would pay for it.
So, I get that after a month there will be another one, but will you still be able to do this one.
It would be nice to wait and play it all boxed DVD set style instead of having it stretched over a half year until I stop giving a crap what's going on.
So, was just hanging around, and suddenly I had a new arc.
So did that go live? ... intentionally?
