I attempted to do this arc, but before I did any mission and I asked him why he didn't go to the police, I think I got the 'ran from the law' choice.

Wow, shut down hard by Stribbling. All I asked is why he didn't go to the police.

When exactly was it promised by anyone that all content, new or otherwise, would be able to be solo'd much less friendly to such endeavors? It is it desirable for most content designed so it can be done solo. Probably a good goal for normal content. Maybe even relatively easily at minimum settings for most of that content. But no not all and some should be nearly impossible to solo and arguably some content should be essentially impossible without a team. All content is not created or intended to be equal in difficulty across all players of varying skill and builds. If the complaint is more hyperbole related to how hardmode and incarnate content has emphasized with recent pages, *shrug*. Well there's far more overall content relatively easy to solo and very little to even start challenging a full team of experienced players running Incarnates. So if a couple pages focus a bit more on the hard end of the spectrum, chill. The pendulum hasn't stopped moving yet.
Looks like you agree that all new content should be harder and less accessible. Congrats, you have won the internet and a non-friendly video game.

I have a somewhat similar experience.
- Regarding low-level story arcs: On average, I faceplant between 0 - 3 times for every solo mission. (+0x1 difficulty). The defeats become less frequent around level 30. At that point, my toon has enough slots to enhance their stats effectively.
- I played Agent Watkin's arc using a new toon. The survival rate was abysmal. In contrast, running the contents using Lv.50 toons yield much better results.
- This problem also happens to a lesser extent when I run incarnate missions. Unlocking level shift fixes the problem.
So, back to your post, consider setting your difficulty to -1 or hoarding P2W items (if you have spare inf).
If you don't mind waiting, farm and power level your toon to Lv. 50, make a complete build (purples and ATOs are optional), then solo the contents. Those lieutenants won't stand a chance against you.That is like the opposite of 'accessible' for solo play.

If you're referring to either the new Cimeroran Incarnate repeatable missions or the new Valeria story arc, those are +1 Incarnate content.
No, I was referring to the new Story Arc in Steel Canyon (Agent Walker?) So I was only in my level 20s or so for it. Like I said, all new content is now 'harder core', solo players are being ignored for ever increasing harder mode. Nothing that has come out recently has been solo friendly. And it appears to be by design.
I don't think I'll bother playing 'harder mode' ITF and Aeon Strike Force.

The 2 LT/1 minion composition sounds like your team setting got bumped by 1 to x2. Did you accidentally change the setting?
As Zag mentioned, EBs downgrade to Boss level when bosses are off, so without knowing the enemy or mission, I can’t say what was happening there. Also, boss enemies that transform (like Council Archon into Warwolf) spawn boss enemies even when downgraded. I don’t know if that’s a bug, intentional, or a system limitation.
Ambush against toxic is a bit ugly, but Toxic defense has been added, so I can’t be surprised to see enemies it is effective against.No, I was still +0/x0. So +1 x2 lts and a minion should not have been a normal spawn.
-
Oh, that was nice. I guess all new content is now 'harder core' for non-casual players. +1 mobs of 2lts and a minion. A boss fight when bosses are turned off and an ambush against toxic foes. I'm so glad that I can go back to not playing City of Heroes again.
That was a very annoying end to Agent Watkins and some of the newest content. 2 for 2, new content is not for soloers. That along with the second mission in new missions in Cimmeria just are meant for 'real players'.

Since the latest live patch, Sentinels are not longer able to customize their Opportunity Mark. Before it would accept the coloring and light/dark mode from the T1 and T2 attack.
Now, even if you are Dark Blast, you bet a bright energy in yellow white target on the target.
-
I would like to see a specific cape and specific aura (new ones) that you can unlock with the missions so they aren't just ignored or only done for nostalgia's purposes.
-
COH Modder and it's site is down?

I really really hate the new click part of the Opportunity Strikes for Sentinel set.
Having to remember to click the new power all the time is GD annoying. It's a busy click for being busy.
-
Make it sparkle feedback: Make it a passive that activates at 100% build up on targeted attacks that hit (so it will not trigger on PBAOEs) and allow it to be customizable so that when you hit 100% it makes a noise and SFX. Leave the target SFX under the target.
Suggestions: I felt a little on the squishy side. Even +4 red boss (singular) smoked me easily. I'd aim at 82% res cap so Sentinels are theoretically a little tougher, but without all the melee centric buffs that armors tend to give. -

One more thing -- when the baddies really piled on and things got hectic, I often forgot to use the Vulnerability click. Mostly I would apply it to a select target before leaping into the fray, and then not again unless one of the baddies was being irksome. So, while I don't dislike the click like I thought I would, I do still kinda wish it was more, ya know, automatic. For the people. Or something. Anyway.
I noticed that my End Usage was really, really high using just using IOs.
I do kind of think that it might be nice as an automatic hit if an attack hits at 100% opportunity build up.

Good news, you don't have to do any Hard Mode TFs to get the Aether currency if you don't want to. It'll take longer to get without doing them, sure, but let's not pretend they only drop from Hard Mode TFs.
And that actually misses the points that the iTrials and the Aeon SF even on non-hard mode are where these rewards are being placed. 😕

REPEATABLE CIMERORA INCARNATE MISSIONS:
- All missions have been upgraded to use a larger map for more combat opportunities.
- Additional missions have been added, which unlock once you've completed Valeria's arc.
- These repeatable tasks show up in the rotation and feature the Ravenna Conclave.
- These missions are now locked to level 54.
Well, that's an immediate turn off for me to play solo.
Some of us don't live in solo-land against 54s. And new Incarnates will just die a lot.

Voted to axe Vet Rewards in AE.
This will be the easier of the two options to replicate outside of AE; the Emp Merits to Reward Merits is a trade-off of immediate loot v. no more branch progression. Getting to Tier 4 is still a fair amount of commitment if you do all the powers and it should be fine to get a few IOs for your buiild after that's done.
If they want to put a cooldown on it, that would be...ok, but I'd like a cap of maybe 50 emps per day conversion. Too greedy?Eh, the newer hardest modes for ITF and ASF are pushing the meta that you must have T4 maxxed out for specific type of wins to get through. (And I found out that 2 Sentinels failed our Relentless ASF as we did not contribute enough DPS to take out one of the Vanguard with their super-cheaty I kill you in the room we fight in AOE blast.

Well, they could just divide the cost of enhancements for merits by 1/2 or 3/4 if they ever decide that non-farmers needed a way to get them without farming.
Nah, it's a crazy idea.

Aside from the sappers it's all just firearms and stun weapons. Compared to aliens, wizards, animated earth creatures, etc you'd think they'd be second or third tier rather than first.
The Hercules, Zeus and Kronos titans are still there.

Heh, good point! Makes me think of Malta also -- in modern times the toughest enemies are just some regular humans with weapons?
Well, it's not like they are armed with specific anti-super-power weapons or anything... Oh, right.

As far as I can tell, these aren't designed for you to 'get them all' they are designed so that you might want to get one or two, because they are so rare in pricing.
And yet, supposedly not a 'top level reward' even though the only place to really get them is the super hard modes.
I just don't understand. They are so high priced that I have already given up on them before they've even arrived.

No they wouldn't. They don't need to.
Casinos used to do that, but they have hit upon hard times and no longer give you as much free stuff because people are cheap bastards and don't gamble as much.
I popped into Black Beards to check it out and hooray, no more seagulls and a facemaker in the back Yeas!
A male Erin and a female Roy for random NPC names? Weird.
I'll be honest, I'm not sure what a Tavern Shanty is supposed to look like, but I can't see any place for someone to perform like a stage.
[EDIT] Ah, it was background music that I couldn't hear over Port Oakes villain music. If that's stopped you can hear it.
Much better than seagulls anyways. Too bad there isn't a stage for people to play on or something, but not the end of th eworld.

The melee builds aren't really affected here, as they almost never get mezzed anyway except against weird Incarnate content or Ghost Widow in MLTF.
It's really everyone else that is heavily impacted, with probably Warshades and toggle heavy Dark epics that have the most offensive toggles.
-
I think that removing Vet Leveling from the AE is probably better for people than removing converting Empyrians to Mertis.
The real problem is the AFK farming. It's not playing, it's grinding for massive rewards. You get INF and all the Veteran Levels for parking your fire farmer/whatever and moving them every 20-30 minutes.
It conceptionally is to game rewards so that you can sell phat loot on the market so you can kit up your next 1billion fire farmer build. It's not playing the game, it's just proving you have a computer you can keep connected and passively inflating your wealth.

Damage toggles versus Debuff Toggles vs mezz toggles? How far would they need to split this up?

Exploration badges don't work for villains/rogues?
[edit]
No, my bad. I'd had some from before. Fully explored worked.
