Very awesome addition to the game.
I'm now really looking forward to the next installments. When you start the mission, it even goes through the full intro sequence and everything, as if offline.
Anyways,
For anyone who hasn't done the story mission yet, I will give it my highest recommendation.
As for some pointers:
-You partner, Leia Martinez, can die without penalty (as standard, she will auto-revive in 30 seconds)
-If you die, the mission will instantly end and you will have to start over
-The Mission is approximately Lv 15, so enemies through both acts will range from 15-21ish
-The Vol Brothers are at it again.
If you are under level 25-30, it will be a very tough fight, but they have similar behavior to when you fight them in Offline mode.
-The Dragon Mid-boss (Zol Ragan or something to that effect) is basically a Zonde swap of De Ragan.
The spikes on the underside of it's neck are red instead of yellow like the others. If they hit you, they have a Megid effect, and can instantly kill you, forcing you to start all over
-Speed rules. Both trials are based on a combination of Monsters killed and clear time.
Clear time requirements for a high rank are ridiculous. Run through as fast as you can
-Act 2 has no monsters, but the Vol Brothers seem to have changed their class to ProTrancer. There are traps everywhere. Leia will give you goggles to help navigate.
From my observation traps here have a chance to hit for static percentages of life. Myself, at Level 42, three-four successive trap explosions would kill me. Use the goggles the first couple trips to learn the layout, then you can go for speed rank.
-The previous reports are true. You will fight Ethan and Liina.
Let me correct myself, you will try to fight Ethan and Liina. They will be 20 levels higher than you. Survival is the name of the game here. It is possible to die, so just hang on long enough. This is a scripted loss.
-The identity of the masked girl will be revealed at the end.
Not much of a surprise based on the dialog, but still interesting where the new story arc will go from here
