Worst part of the SSA

Go to the transportation for the side you are on.
Zone to one zone higher than the last SSA.
Look for little green man on map.
If no green man, go to next higher zone.
It literally took me less than 30 seconds after logging in to find the contact for each side.
The worst part is having to wait a month between episodes

You need to keep in mind the arcs are a story which in theory would span the "life" of our characters as they become more and more powerful. They probably ought to have had it go at a different pace like 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45 with a final rapping up at 50 for 8 arcs but starting at 20 and increasing by 5s they could have hit 50 on the last one.|

I haven't played long, don't have a lot of TIME to play, and am barely in the range for this one. Why can't they all be, say, 20+? Am I going to need to be 45 in another arc or two, or need Incarnate powers for the last one? |
I am extremely curious to how they plotted out this enitre story as they have so far because you are correct in this 10s jumping does push this to the upper limit very quickly.
total kick to the gut

I expect the villain-side contact will be in Nerva or St. Martial. If the next arc is level 40-50 then I'll be looking in PI and Grandville. |
They could also have the next contact(s) for heroes or villains be in the Rikti War Zone.

I figured it was an artifact of them changing from one version of her to another, kind of like when you shoot a Lost with the curing wand and sometimes you'll see the Lost you shot run off while fading out and then the citizen model appears.

Why would an illusion fall on its butt and dust itself off before vanishing though? Just looks really buggy  |

I did it last night and have to agree. It was perfect for my widow (pretending to go rogue then bam!). It is tightly interwoven with the hero arc but answers a lot more questions plus beating up on a certain npc supergroup was fun |

I am glad they gave me that final option during the grand meeting though. That would have been a little too villainous for me if I had to do the deed.
Of course, I liked the hero arc too - especially the final mission.

I assumed that the "reveal" the OP was referring to was the identity of the villain seen in the final cut scenes from arcs #1 , not the death aluded to in the splash page.

I believe you, but I don't have this struggle. At least in my game, as long as I know the map, the only thing that I have to do is open the map (at St. Martial, for example) and there are two contacts on the map that are green--the trainer and the sig arc contact. To me that make it incredibly simple to find the contact.

You don't need to know the backstory, you just need to read the clues from the glowies in the same mission to get the answers.

I had a friend who was playing this longer and had been there (but not in a while) complain they couldn't remember it, so how would someone new know it?
