Can confirm, on Indomitable server. It's happening often enough that folks are looking at the person in the team window under them to see if the team will have a lvl 50 lead when (not if) they crash. This may not be too useful, but I have noticed when I crash and then log back in, the animations and movement of everything is crisp and clear.

The Praetorian Story Arc: Project Phoenix (18.26 in the Ouroboros menus, seems to be called "The Power To Control" on Paragonwiki.com) does not give the final mission after talking to Praetor Sinclair. I noticed this while leveling up but figured I had just made some wrong choice, but the same thing happens in a Flashback. Of course, this blocks a badge, and so it's pretty irritating :)

I have a lvl 50+9 Vet lvls Super Strength/ Invulnerability Brute. With all of my lvl 50 IOs and my Incarnate powers running, this is a pretty fun character. Exemplared down to do a task force, I feel slow and weak. I have fallen into the habit of just not using Rage, which isn't a satisfactory answer. In the meantime, I have made a new non-Super Strength Brute. I'm very glad to see that a GM has touched base in this thread. Hopefully, it will be decided to just remove the -Def penalty in the crash, but if not I'm glad the community will have a chance to be heard. To that end, my first suggestion is to just remove the -def part of the crash and gather data. If in 6 months' time, Super Strength has overtaken the game and no other kind of characters are being played, then we'll have a proper dataset to tell us where to make adjustments. If not, then leave it alone. All things aside, I'm so grateful to even have a reason to have this discussion :)
