This issue looks great! I'm particularly looking forward to the new 5th arcs. I wasn't expecting to see the TuT expanded to task forces and working in missions so quickly either.
Please try my custom mission arcs!
Legacy of a Rogue (ID 459586, Entry for Dr. Aeon's Third Challenge)
Death for Dollars! (ID 1050)

Well, the devs are lazy, so it was probably done by accident.

Agreed- But I'm more excited about the villain Luddite Arcs- They are my favorite CoV group and criminally underused.

What I'm most excited for is the stalker Stalker STALKER changes YES! When I left my signature stalker before he was pretty sweet, and now he's going to be sweeter! I'm actually waiting for beta to launch so I can try and transfer him over and give it a go, check out much of a boost the A-Strike changes really are.

Characters on: Victory & Virtue

Excuse meh, sir... does your dog bleed?
When are giant jibbers and eyeballs being ported to our characters?
PuG Russian Roulette: TuT set for 'First Available'
Devs stole headless (glass jar hidden by aura) body costume!
When I hear "costs more Prestige" I translate that as something akin to "costs more pennies."
Finally, all the solo-only crowd will have a place to go to climb up the Incarnate ladder. Maybe since they'll be tripping over each other street sweeping there, they can form a team and help one another.
Oh, and looks cool!

There'll be an echo, just like Galaxy City - although all the old DA story arcs will be removed permanently from the game, so that's a major bit of content that we're losing completely.

Glad to see that they might have a new 4-legged rig for combat pets/NPCs (now for some strays to go along with the pedestrians)
Glad to see solo-able Incarnate content.
I like the level new 15+ Trial. It compliments the DFB and seems like a set up for more mid to late level trials prior to accessing the iTrials.
I like that more zones are starting to see some co-op action; now if we could get the Hazard Zones (and eventually all of CoX) to be accessible by both sides (w/o playing the alignment shuffle), it would help some of the population imbalance between factions.
STARSHIP TROOPERS!
Dark Controllers seem promising.

I think that having the 2 low level Trials called DfB and DiB is funnier |

Oh My Mot
I haven't been this excited about an issue since Going Rogue.
