Ouroboros Possibilities

OK, last night was a blast. Even with Rob's random disconnection issues, I had a great time. Honestly, it's the most fun I've had with those characters since we hit Level 50 with them. The Ouroboros missions were entertaining and the commentary from the Menders was hilarious. Like "Just like old times, eh?" the first time you meet him in-mission. Great stuff. I had some ideas about the possibilities that Ouroboros opens up now...

Firstly, we have the chance to go back and hit some content we missed the first time around. Stuff bypassed for other missions, because we didn't know about them, or because the content wasn't released yet (i.e. Faultline). I'd be happy going back and revisiting some of those older mission arcs, since hey, we're not missing out on any XP anyway. We really ought to think about what missions/story arcs we should go back and do (Envoy of Shadow springs to mind, that was a blast).

Secondly, it's a good opportunity to go back and do the Storyteller mission with some of our characters that don't have the Spelunker badge. That's a key one that opens up the Atlas Medallion accolade and has a nice perk associated with it.

There's a great guide out there by InfamousBrad on the forums that answers a lot of Ouroboros questions. Link is here.

I think with all the quarter-master stuff, all the constant prestige and market time, all the generosities, all the base stuff, and all the characters Greg has lent to our game soup, we should really work the flaskback stuffs to help him get all those badges.

Meh. I appreciate the sentiment, but there are so many badges and only so much play time. I honestly could run the badge arcs solo if I wanted, but I am having a ton of fun with our new Triumph SG. Playing those new characters and seeing everyone grow into their new roles is very fun for me.
