Go through the portal to Recluse's Victory in City Hall (Tech wing downstairs) and it'll give you the Oro portal. Way easier than bumming one off someone or keeping an eye out for one.
General gets taken off when a character pops out of the creator. It's just part of my new character setup. I'm sure there's some fun and frivolity there, but I've only seen it as a cesspool of garbage thoughts, both political and otherwise.
Just remembered that if you have a Praetorian SG, you can put the pillar of ice and flame in the base and access all the Praetorian content. You can literally do everything Praetorian before having to leave Praetoria. Wish I'd remembered that before going to Pocket D, would've worked on badges while getting xp.
I dipped into Pocket D as well to push to 30. Back on track now in Night Ward. Once I finish that, it's off to the different Praetorian zones to get exploration badges, then Pocket D to do @Darmian's Praetorian arcs and things like the SBB or more AE stuff to get to 50. THEN, Paragon can have me.
My journey was running well until I finished First Ward at 26. Now it's a slog of repeatables until I hit 30. Will definitely do double xp to push to 28 and then 30 next time I do this.
Head cannon would see them as my character reminiscing about old times just before jumping to Primal Earth. That way I can do them after finishing Night Ward and level up to 50.
Put me down in the tentative pile as well. Saturday afternoons should tm be good for me most weeks, barring any family stuff. I made Ice Hawke, an Ice/Ice (baby) Brute on the Loyalist (can reroll if we go Resistance) side. Sitting at level 2 just out of the tutorial.
I pick a lane (just did good side Loyalist but switched at the end...couldn't bring myself to kill Kang ) and roll on. I've seen all the arcs so fomo doesn't factor in and there's always Ouroboros for the other badges. I do follow the "cut xp off at certainlevels" trick so I don't miss the choice per zone.
All this talk of gold side got me wanting to run it again all the way through Night Ward. Took SeraphimKensai's idea and reversed it with an Ice/Elec brute and so far, loving it. Frost with even a half full fury bar decimates!
I'm more a melee player with toes dipped into support ATs from time to time. It was my Thermal/Dual Pistols defender that made me make a Pistols blaster and it ended up being a ton of fun. Pistols/Time made me finally understand the love of the Blapper.
