    Why are all of the new things focused solely in Millennium City? These things could very well be "global" events. I would like to see something come out that actually get players out of MC. Teleios Ascendant was an okay start, but it just takes players to one location in an otherwise abandoned zone.

    well the first thing you have to do then, is get people to stop standing around , farming alerts.​​

    This sounds fun. Might be tricky finding a team of PTS in UK time to test it, mind you (or to play it.... :( ) but looking forwards to giving it a go.

    You don't have to go to Telios Tower to do TA. You can queue from the Missions tab on the alert menu. (Golden Fist icon on the minimap.)

    That is the theory. Not sure anyone actually runs it that way.

    You can also be Teleported from the Until HQ to the entrance of TA, just speak to the NPC who gives you the Daily, and pick the last option to travel to TA​​

    I do. (sorry). More of that sort of thing, to be honest.

    I have nothing against people running it that way. Just wasn't sure who actually did, since it's not very puggable and if you're team queuing you might as well go to Canada.

    Team Queuing/ Puggability will be the big game issue in six months or less, especially if the devs carry through their promise to focus on Team Content without providing an immediate post-lvl40 endgame and ways of upskilling the player base to understand the mechanics of Lairs and high-power bosses.

    If you're outside the magic circle of established SGs and old-time player groups it's almost impossible to get a team for NemCon or other Lairs now, and even Rampages queues are thin on the ground.... not going to get any better without a lot of work.

    You have to be on the right time of day to find folks for NemCon, Lairs and Rampages. My experience is that 5:00-10:00 pm server time is a good time to look.

    Possibly, but that's 0100 - 0600 GMT... and I have to sleep sometime. Mechanics to help us non-West Coast US players team up would be appreciated.... (zzz)

    "That is the theory. Not sure anyone actually runs it that way."

    You can queue your whole team, just like any other alert. I know this is hard to believe, but there are people who play this game that aren't part of your clique and they do things that you don't do.

    Please move some of the mobs, siphons and portals AWAY from the areas, low levels have to do missions in.
    Don't say they can spam alerts, these are the below level 10 missions.​​

    We removed a bunch of the spawns around the lowbie areas. Check PTS next week and let me know if I missed any! :)

    Qliphoths is done to death in CO. Boring.
    High fantasy and magic are done to death in CO. Boring x2.
    Also, Qliphoth =/= Hell.

    But costumes and vehicles look promising and it's all something to do, so I suppose it will be fun to play. Just as usual, paying no attention to the theme or dumb things NPCs will try to tell me.

    Can't recall when was the last time when I was wasting time for reading whatever is in NPC dialogue, anyway.​​

    Foxbat con will soon be upon us... so this will probably not be an update we see until mid late April :P
