Actually, by presenting even more examples of how the end-game is a lagfest you did enforce my point. Go back and read the point I was making. I'll wait here for you.

This has become my SOP for new characters now. I really do not like the new tutorial, Twinshot, or Matthew's arc so I simply avoid them. I street hunt up to 5 or maybe hop a quick sewer team. Then I slide on over to Kings Row for "COH as usual'.

I would like the option to play the original contact arcs in Atlas AND in Mercy. I happened to like those mission arcs, old and passe as they were.

Also, although this is slightly off topic, I would like the option to shut those spinning coin things off over the heads of contacts. They bug me.

That way there's an alternative that's tied to your origin, you don't have to do TS's arcs (but you keep the option), and you don't need to go through the Radio/3 mishs/Safeguard rigmarol to get a contact in KR.
This. yes. Thank you. I can suck it up and streetsweep from 1-5, if it comes to it, but please let us get the option of being introduced to a regular KR zone contact at 5. Anyone who wants to ignore it can (I ignore LOTS of contacts that just pop up when I level), but the rest of us wouldn't have to do the whole safeguard thing just to meet contacts who give regular arcs with merits and bonuses and stuff. One toon leveled to 21 via DFB is enough; I like being able to do the Negotiator mish at level.

Thanks and have a good day!
