Signature arcs in LFG...

[Xiddo]

Really happy with the change planned. They're fun arcs. And check out the big boy you fight.

They should be played more! 20 merits a pop, first time, and they aren't long.

Agreed the SSA are great mission/arcs unfortunately not run as much mainly due to the TaskForce mechanic of locking the team. That seems to make people leery of joining for some reason. I am guessing the reward table at the end of the arc is why it does the TF team lock. 

 

But also because they are not run as much, team leads do not know the best way to go about them. Well , that's just my opinion.

 

Actually gonna start trying to run Pandora's Box redside and see how it goes. Like I said I don't know it that well so a learning experience for me and everyone who joins me, lol

They're only about 4-6 missions, usually in the same zone as where they're launched, so I wonder if it's just lack of practice? I certainly never did them on live. And no badge... However lots of EBs/AVs to wade through on some missions.
There is a VERY fun mission near in Pandoras where there are...

 

Spoiler

hordes and hordes of Nemesis who pile up until a timer runs out. Running it on +1/8 and I was nearly overwhelmed. From the sharkhead nemesis contact/ the steel nemesis on for blue siders.

If you're forming and Im about then ill join 🙂

Considering some of the ridiculously easy things for which we receive badges, I'd have thought we'd at least get one for completing the full arc.

I think I read in another post about em that the team didn’t wanna lock them behind a paywall? That is obviously less of a concern now.

Weird if that was the case. The SSAs were free to subscribers back in the day, so it was no more paywalled than the Incarnate system which had (checks) a couple badges tied to it.

think it was here.

a search shows there are a few people asking the same thing. But, can confirm having done them all: no badge.

I run them quite a bit and even go for speed runs on occasion.

Very nice! I think I prefer Pandora’s Box slightly more than WWD. There are slightly fewer cutscenes. However WWD is great for the villain kill badge.
