Ok, so we all know that the Vibora Bay Apocolypse is bugged, and it impeeds progress through the story.
My question is...what do I do now?
I'm Level 35, can't progress in VBA, and this being the first hero I've actively pushed towards Level 40, I don't know where to go next, or what to do in order to keep moving towards the end.
???
The only mission I have in my log is the ultra-broken "All the is Unholy" which is blocking my progress, Monster Island is now below my level, Waterwold is where I just left.
What would a Level 35 do from here?

I know Lemuria has quite a few missions for the 34-40 range also. If you don't find them, let me know and I'll take my character over there to find the names of the exact contacts.
Also, if you just want to bridge the gap between levels, the Adventure packs may be the way to go.
Deliciously nutritious!
Interesting. Is there anything to do in post-Apoc VB for Level 35-40? I remember going there back in the 20's and it seemed the zone was pretty much 20's only.
I'll have to do some looking around. Currently I don't have any missions to send me anywhere in those locations, so maybe I need to knock out a level or two before they appear?
Might have to head over to the Serpent Lantern. VIPER could use some knocking around.

Perhaps. You might be in a limbo between two areas, where you would have missions if you followed the chain but don't have any that show this moment.
But you can definitely level on MI, it was my finishing place for the levelling contest. 35 to 40 in about four hours.
Deliciously nutritious!
You still have a ton of stuff to do just on Monster Island. Consult this map!
Wayfarer Coast
Argent Wildlife 'Preserve'
Slither Beach
Echinocos Shores
And Andrithal!
Note the area foe and mission level ranges on this page too!
It's actually much faster to level from 35 to 40, than it is to go from 30 to 35.
SImilarly, if you get tired of the Island wildlife, you can always dip back over to Lemuria, it's deeper areas are higher level range [and have some neat Story stuff] to level you fast, although the 3d fighting is rough on pure melee builds and ATs. Ranged has it a lot easier there.
Goood luck, and call if you need help.
@Rune
Thanks Rune for the Awesome writeup!
And everyone else too! All good info.
Back to MI I will go!

The Post Crisis Vibora Bay is different then the level 20 chain of missions you do there. They're 2 completely different instances. So if you have a friend doing those missions and you're in Post Crisis Vibora, you wouldn't be able to see him. You'd need to pick up the level 20 chain of missions (share) to get to him.
Ahhh, so it's like Blizzard's phasing technology they used in WOTLK.
Makes sense.

Don't be like the Qularr. They would not last one round in the Interstellar Galactic Arena...

I have reasons for both- Vibora Bay seems a bit 'weak' for the final levels of a heroic superhero after you've taken down Supervillains and the like, and I have this thing with sea life and Lemuria freaks me out- I literally shudder while I'm playing there.
I agree to follow the advice and information in Rune's post. The issue with MI is that after you 'finish' Wells Pass there is no breadcrumb mission that leads you to Gadget Boy or the other contacts at Wayfarer Coast. The best thing to do is if you see other parts of the zone that you are in that you haven't been to when you open up your map, try going over to those areas and you may discover a mission contact or two.
This list on the Wiki is also helpful to know what zones are in your level range: Mission Level Locations
Actually, VB Crisis is able to be completed. Yes, Valerian Scarlet IS bugged but only if she uses a certain power at around 1/3 of her life (the point at which she becomes 'defeated' in "All that is Unholy" and "Braving the Elements"). You just have to use your highest DPS abilities as you fight her and hope she doesn't use her ability that causes her to disappear. Yes, it can matter on luck as much as your abilities, but the missions are doable. I have gotten two heroes through the Crisis in the past two weeks and both had problems with the above two missions as well as "No Time Like the Present", but after resetting them and trying again I was able to progress to the end.
It's too bad we don't have more zones and area that are city for Levels 35-40.
It seems once you leave MC around Level 25, it's nothing but "exotic" locations. Monster Island, Lemuria, Canadian Wilderness, rinse and repeat.
I have the most fun in game, when I'm in the city, fighting in Westside or Downtown.
I once made a proposal for expanding the city for the Upper levels:

But the proposal never got much traction, the Devs never acknowledged it, and so it's pretty much ignored.
But your mention of your hydrophobia

IIRC, if you're just following along those missions, you get to the point of doing Moreau's Lab, and then nothing.
OTOH, doing the level 34-36 missions for Major Larke and Gadget Boy, you'll get the mission sending you to the next area of Monster Island, which is the Argent Preserve. It's a weird gap, and because of it there's a lot of peeps that don't know about the missions on the other 2/3 of monster island.
In the game, I'm @Knickknacks.
Yeah, this right here.
I've felt like I was in limbo, because I didn't have anything to tell me that missions were available there.
I knew zones existed for my level range, it's just a matter of I didn't want to go there if none of the missions were unlocked, you know?
All this info clears alot of things up.

That's what I did--I simply traveled around MI and found all sorts of cool stuff, including a chain of missions that culminates in a very tough level 40 lair, Andrith Ruins.
Whoever you are, be that person one hundred percent. Don't compromise on your identity.
That's Right! There is a mission to go to Major Larke and it is given out by Captain Jandebeur aboard the Aegir in Lemuria, but you have to finish most, if not all, of The Undying Reef for him to give it to you. He also gives out a mission to visit The Constable in Canada at the same time. I believe both of these missions were added when the On:Alert patch was implemented.
So, you do Wells Pass, then The Undying Reef in Lemuria, and then you get sent back to Monster Island.
Unlike some other MMOs, what I have noticed in CO is that you don't NEED breadcrumb missions to open up most missions from contacts. As soon as you meet the minimum level for the missions from a contact, they will be available to you. So, you could go exploring on your own in that zone that you know is in your level range and just start picking up missions.
The crime computer in the hideout will show you a handful of missions and there level also.
Good tip! I'll take a look at that too.

I like that idea! :biggrin:

I would suggest finding another person to help. Two people can usually deal with her before she bugs out. One person can be dodgy, but two will almost certainly be able to finish her off every time.

This.
There are a few areas around MC that dont have much going on in them since they're on the outskirts of the maps. A new office building and some high end mobs and we're good.
It's the second biggest flaw of an otherwise lovely map.
The biggest flaw is that vampire graveyard with the tightly packed mobs of master villains that you need to kill in a specific way to complete a mission.
Wait? Whaaaa..?
Honestly I find more stuff for leveling in MI than I do in VB - I only bother with apoc so I can park in vb and avoid the MC ren cen
