Maria Jenkins' arc


Crashed

 

Posted

Last night I decided to knock out some old missions on one of my level 50s. So I started running missions from Maria Jenkins. The mission I had from her was to "Find the Broken Scanner," which is the first mission of her "A Hero's Hero" arc. This is the version of her arc from before Going Rogue came out.

I ran four missions of the arc before I realized it, and I'm guessing now I'm locked into the old version? Does anyone know if there are any disadvantages to running the old version versus the new version? I haven't compared them side-by-side. I know they added Mother Mayhem to the Dimensional Warder(?) badge, but she appears in the old arc, so that shouldn't be an issue.

You actually have an advantage - they took Siege out of the new arc, which requires anyone trying to get the Dimensional Warder badge to now go through Ouro to finish the first three missions of the OLD arc.

Interesting. I was actually 13/14ths (now 13/15ths) of the way to Dimensional Warder already from helping other people run the arc, so I already had Siege, but that's good to know, thanks.

You don't have to run through Ouro.

Although you no longer get Siege in her main arc, she still has a one-off mission to stop Siege.

What I did on my most recent toon to run her (using the new arc) was to run the arc and then just keep taking and abandoning (the abandon not the auto-complete) her one-off missions until she gave me the Siege one.

On a side note with the new arc - The new arc is quite a bit easier than the old version (imo at least), what with all the "cameo" appearances of the Phalanx NPCs running along with you. And you don't have to fight Shadowhunter anymore. That guy's a real pain for lower damage ATs.

Oh, I didn't know you could do that. Cool.
