Just FYI, the last time I did that arc in Ouroboros it was broken. After the first mission Maria wouldn't give me the next mission, and clicking the crystal in Ouro would come up with "The crystal does not know where to send you" or something similar.
The arc is not broken, but its mechanics are odd. You cannot actually talk to Maria in PI, you MUST use the phone to get your missions.
Why Blasters? Empathy Sucks.
So, you want to be Mental?
What the hell? Let's buff defenders.
Tactics are for those who do not have a big enough hammer. Wisdom is knowing how big your hammer is.

Correct. Because you're not actually getting the arc from her, you're getting the arc from a copy of her that is only contactable via phone (ala some Praetorian contacts).

Is this true of all arcs that are no longer current? If so, that would make some sense.

Ugh, can't believe I didn't try to call her. I think I tried everything except that.
ID 10 T error, carry on.

I think so, but I am not 100% sure. I do know that, for instance, the Calvin Scott "TF" (story arc) they added a while go, Calvin is only contactable by phone. (He has no in-game model at all!)

Is this still necessary, or if you do the new Tina arc do you get all the AVs?

Now that Null the Gull is enabled on beta, could it be feasible to copy the character in question to the beta server, go to Null, check and see who's left of the AVs using him, then continue on your main server?

Yes, I've done it.

As far as story arcs go, the revamp actually made it worse. Before the revamp, you had to do both Tina's arc and Maria's arc to get every Praetorian AV needed. Since the revamp, you need to do both arcs, and find some other means of getting Siege, as he doesn't appear in either of the actual story arcs. Siege does appear in a standalone mission from Maria.|

A lot of people would just rather do them through Ouroboros, from what I've encountered, probably to avoid the extraneous missions from both of the contacts if you do them naturally. Those people now also either have to go through the old Maria arc up to the point where you fight Siege, or go through the current Maria missions to get the standalone one that has Siege in it, possibly being pushed into running the arc again in order to get to that mission. They could also get Siege through a successful BAF, and will probably soon be able to get Anti-Matter credit from the Keyes Island Reactor trial.

Hmm, I swore that I fought Siege in the Destroy all evidence of portal software mission. Then again I'm not willing to run it again it to verify.

I was basically responding to Roderick as well, didn't notice the multiquote didn't take.

What's in the arc "A Hero's Hero"? Wiki used to have it, but replaced it with the new one "A Hero's Epic". But the original is still available via Flashback. I believe the new one has 12 of the 14 Praetorians, sans Siege and Anti-Matter. Who's in the old one? Thanks!
