Question about Dark Astoria

I am not sure if this was designed this way. I think though in a sense it poses a problem. I am on the Exalted server. I already ran the DA arcs fully through about a week and half ago. Loved them.

Here is the problem.

I wanted to take a team into DA and rerun the arcs for fun. Many of us came to DA, I had mistakenly thought that I could just rerun the arc. After we tried, one person on the team noted that he thought the only way to rerun the arc was through Oro.

So off the team went to Oro.

Sure enough he was right. There the arcs were as missions I could select from the Oro crystal.

Too our surprise I got an error message that stated that we could not run it as a team because at least one or more people on the team (besides myself) had not done the arc in the past.


So..........I could not lead a 2nd run within DA, yet I could not lead a run in Oro.

I really wanted to introduce the arc to the group (not all of them were 40-50) for fun.

Just seemed to be a bit counterproductive to me. The people on the team who had not yet done the arcs in DA, were not quite high enough level to get the arc in DA. Those on the team that were--- had already run it.

Regardless of the process, or the reasons why, lets make things easier for teams who want to run content, even content thats at level 50.


I rarely complain about this game, I love it. That just left a bad taste. The group eventually went about their separate ways. :/

Maybe I was just doing something wrong?

It would be better if Taskmaster Gabriel handed out the arcs after you've done them once, and that they worked like normal missions.

oo dag nabit............well thanks for the info

I agree with the OP. This is exacerbated by the fact that once you've run the set, the fact that it's in Oroborous puts an end to mixed teaming too. You can have heroes and villains team together all through the first section of missions, but that ends as soon as you bring Oroborous into the equation.

They need to be set up, from the first time on, similar to TF's. Have it be for levels 45-50 if they have to, but make them accessable from in-zone for mixed teaming. Yes that means that not anybody of any level can come along for the first run, but it's a mite more flexible than the way it's currently set up. Better yet, make them work like A.E. arcs in that you start the "Task Force" with a (required) level 50 then can invite anyone you want along, guaranteeing that at least a 50 is at the helm. That'll keep it's 'first run' flexibility, without shutting anyone (except non-VIP's who won't be able to be invited) out.
