After choosing some combo that I did not play back on the old CoH live/test and that would fit a theme I ended up with War Axe / Bio Armor. I enjoyed them both. Bio is very versatile after you throw some IOs on. It's add extra dmg, yet I think it still has it weaknesses with no resistance vs def and regen debuffs and that brings me to Battle Axe Number wise from min/max WM would be the better set as Axe, but there are so close to each other both have this perfect 180° cone power with a pbaoe and a smaller cone 45° for WM and 19° for Axe like the one for BS and Katana. You can throw the pvp -res IO in a heavy hitting dmg and the +recharge KB IOs in the huge cone & pbaoe and that every single power has a knockdown or up effect helps quite a bit Who dosen't like to juggle a npc all the time: https://gfycat.com/richdangerousbuckeyebutterfly I found the single & aoe dmg satisfying, only if you run really into a mob with a high lethal resistance it's annoying but it's far off the all or nothing you see often with psi. Not to flashy, not to boring just a good solid set / combo

After you finish your epic battle with Mot you can call again the Dream Doctor. He has a personal story for ya like the others and then you can do the first intro mission and that leads to the incarnate trial: https://paragonwiki.com/wiki/Dilemma_Diabolique_Trial a guide is here: http://web.archive.org/web/20121003093304/http://na.cityofheroes.com/en/news/game_updates/issue_22/dilemma_diabolique_strategy_guide.php

I have now my first lvl 50 with every Tier 3. Needed only 6 veteran lvls for it, thanks to all the rewards from the stories. My process was after reaching lvl 50 to go through all the Signature Story Arcs. Each chapter of Who Will Die and Pandora's Box will reward you with 10 threads as a option the first time you play through it: https://paragonwiki.com/wiki/Signature_Story_Arc After that I played through all the Dark Astoria Story arcs up until you need to run a taskforce. Got a bit lucky with some of the rewards because I ended up with 2 very rare for T4 components as rewards for some of the story arcs, most of the others are uncommon. Overall a painless process that makes it easier to go with alts through it compared to how many times I needed to run on the old live servers through the incarnates trials.

The mail from yesterday turns now up slowly, seems nothing is lost so far

It did work yesterday until ~midnight CEST here. Since then email dosen't show up anymore in the game. Sending new mails results in "There are outstanding pending global email transactions. Please wait a minute and try again" No change for me 10h later.

From a question on reddit today, not from me :P And she/he got quite a few answers. So I would say farming always find a way back and IMHO it's part of the identity of the game since the beginning. What did we early on do, from running around in teams in the old hazard zones into dumpster jumping with all the mobs behind us to saving some "special" missions. In the end AE and the new difficulty system just level the playing field or should I say the raised the comfort level for doing so. Coexistence between all the differnt playstyles should not be a problem.
