You can sell 10 items in all 200 transaction slots (2000 items total) all at once. No issue there. But when collecting your Inf, if you click "get all Inf," you'll only collect a portion of those transactions at a time. I do not know why that is - math is hard for the Wentworth's and Black Market folks? 😄 But you could click and collect from each one individually in shorter time than it takes to click "Get all Inf" and wait the short lock out period - depending on how your carpel tunnel is or what your laziness / impatience meter reads. 😄

You can go to Mercy Island from Galaxy City tutorial? It's been a long time and don't remember that.

I love Fold Space and use it on my melee toons. It can be quite handy for when someone scatters the mob with a KB, or foes run from a debuff, or you want to add a second or third group to the mix. I find it's useful almost every time it's up and ready. I also use it on several blasters and doms.

Yes, but that also defeats the point as well... that's still instantly becoming a certain faction instead of living as one thing for a while and then experiencing some stuff, and then choosing a side. The only part of the game where you get to live in an area factionless before choosing a side is the Praetorian tutorial. There, you start as nothing, do a bit of story, and then choose. COH and COV, you've made the choice as you enter the game, and then only through tips and the morality system (later on at lvl 20) do you "live in an area for a while" and then switch sides or double down and remain loyal to whatever side (or play in a greyer area). You do that in Praetoria too - you run a couple arcs and at the end, you get a moral choice to stay or change - and if you cahnge, you get another option to still reamain loyal to your previous faction by "spying" or "ratting" on the other side.

Correct - the Hamidon is definitely still alive in Praetoria. As you state, many references of DE beyond the sonic fences, but it's also stated at the end of the Underground Trial by Desdemona when we find out that Cole didn't defeat Hami and only made a deal, and that the renewed battle with Primal Earth has angered the Hamidon and cannot be "dissuaded" any more. And you are also correct in that the Resistance has no plan for dealing with the Hamidon directly. BUT the Resistance does aid in the evacuation of Praetorians coming to Primal Earth. We do see evidence of evacuation of Praetoria with Marchand (Primal)'s arc "The new Praetorians" and we also get to revisit the ruined Praetorian city in Number Six' arc.

Sorry you're not a fan. I personally like all the content. But i see how you might think / feel that way. Yes, creating a character and then right from the gate, you join the resistance or remain loyal. But you do the same in heroes and villains too - you pick either side upon creation. The difference with GR is, in the Praetorian tutorial, you get some decent writing and little bit of story to lead you to either sympathize with the resistance under ghoul attack and being mistreated by the PPD, or you agree with the PPD that they are nefarious terrorists plotting something underground and you be loyal to Cole. So, you can pick your side after that. Hero and villain tutorials have none of that. You pick your side upon creation and then either enter the game or do a tutorial. At least Villainside has a story to "breaking out" but you're still a villain at the end. I love Praetoria for that alone and I always do the tutorial because of that. One of the brilliant things about Going Rogue and Praetorian content is that you can switch sides and "spy" on the other. So, you could start as Loyal - like a "normal" enriche-soaked Praetorian would be - but then switch to Resistance and then report back to Marchand on what they are doing. Or perhaps, you do find out about Cole's true nature and how people are sheep and his bosses are not the heroes everyone thinks they are. And it goes the other way too... Start as Resistance, and spy on the Loyalists reporting back to Calvin - and perhaps you might see some of the brilliance behind Cole's drastic means for protecting the people from the Hamidon and keeping them happy, safe, and comfortable in such a dystopian world despite the drama behind the scenes. And as for Cole blowing the whole place up - well, Primals have systematically dismantled everything he built. They stopped his invasion, defeated his armies and lieutenants, they invaded Praetoria taking over section by section, they've freed the people and turned them against him - so his last ditch attempt to maintain control and defeat the Primals, he destroys the city and absorbs the remaining souls there for ultimate power to vanquish his enemies. That's such a classic supervillain move. And that... that is the perfect kind of villainous "twat" he is. 😄 Going Rogue allows you to make probably more choices as a character (even in that sandbox) than Heroes / Villains does. COH / COV allows you to go back and forth and live in the grey areas of being a vigilante or rogue, which is nice - and it's getting even better with all the newer content. But GR not only gives you that ability, but the extra layer of still remaining true to the previous faction you were despite the content you are running is just brilliance. ...for that, GR and Praetoria will always be my favorite. Again, sorry you don't find it as interesting or fun. But that's okay! Plenty of game out there to enjoy. 🙂 ...another reason this game is one of the greatest that ever was, is, and will be.

Oh yeah, I can imagine your end woes. I went for Electric Epic pool for theme, but also for Power Sink to help before Purples and catalyzations. I will probably drop snow storm in the lvl 49 slot and pick up Energize instead and drop in a +5 boosted generic Rech IO for those times that I'm waiting for Power Sink to recharge. Snow Storm was a throw away power, and just another thing to drain my end.

For what it's worth, here's my Storm/Storm build. Love this toon! I'm surprised at how survivable and devasting it can be. I focused more on sets instead of procs, ranged defense, recharge, and of course, endurance because it's an end hog. 😄 Miss Monsoon - Corruptor (Storm Blast - Storm Summoning).mbd

The Amazing Dacy does it again! Thanks, Dacy!!

I 2nd and 3rd what @lemming and @biostem stated above. And additionally.... As stated above, 0.67 mag KB = KD. So, adding the KB>KD procs in your powers is a wasted slot. Those procs lower a power's higher mag KB (3 mag, for instance) down to 0.67 mag, and thus making it KD instead. So, if the power already does 0.67mag, you're not gaining anything by slotting those procs.

Here's my Ill/Storm build. It's from back before all the level changes for powers, so you'll probably pick up much more earlier than this build. But I focused on recharge for perma-PA. Prof. Phantasm - Controller (Illusion Control).mbd

And my FF/Water Defender had an accident with Moscato Rosé 😄 ...seems there are a bunch of us out there with similar backgrounds. lol

Love it! Very similar origin to my FF/Water Defender.... 😄

This *IS* normal. Siege needs a certain amount of DPS / slows to overcome his heal and recharge rate of that heal. That is the challenge of him. Also, not all content is soloable by all ATs and all powersets. Sometimes, you have have to elicit help or use large amounts of inspires, or a lot of temp powers. But using inspires and temp powers, you at least have still "solo'd" him. And I'm not sure why using a tray full of red inspires is a bad thing. Or using pet temp powers, signature summons, or other temp powers to your advantage - that is why they and inspires are there in the first place. Just because you have to tap into other resources on one particular toon / AT / powersets, doesn't mean the fight is broken or that AT / toon / powersets are broken. The beauty of this game is that there is an Achilles heel to everything - you just found that toon's. But you overcame it. Kudos! But that doesn't mean anything is broken or wrong.

This is easily fixed.... You can do a collection of 2 chests (that award nothing) and then chain it to a separate collection of a 3rd chest that will award the clue.
