Btw, you didn't mentioned for which locations new missions are? 40-50 locations? OR maybe something new at old maps?

Can we get there from the main map (Gamma Wastes) or do I have to walk all the way back to 39/40 from 29?

You can use any Sector Map that you are high enough to use. All have been updated.

Okay...I am level 40...I am at Taulin Rad Lands (Mastermap), when I go up to Gamma Wastes, that's as far as I can go, there are no more green arrows
So I have to go to Highridge Mines (Mouth), and walk from there to the new area, which will open a new Sector Map showing all the new areas?
Sorry, I'm just a bit confused by Sector Map lol
Or will we be able to use a portal, i.e. from Taulin City to whatever the new area is called?

Will there be portal access to the new areas?
Just one old lady's opinion

That Elite needs to be killed for 2 separate quests. So it had better be common or they'll end up with a large number of very annoyed people.
I take it there is no area map for the Highridge Crag until we complete the 'Escaping the Mines' mission? In which case, you are FORCING every single one of us to waste a huge amount of energy just looking for an MD1 elite to kill. I'm sorry but I think that absolutely sucks. That is the worst possible thing you could have done, sticking us indefinitely in a PVP area looking for an elite that we have no idea at all when it spawns. So far the new update gets a C- in my books.

I'm not complaining, I was getting sick of hunting elites anyways, it's nice to kill 6 in 10 minutes =P

Well unfortunately they've effectively buggered every person with a slow connection. I quite simply can't move from square to square quickly enough to either find an MD1 Elite or avoid PVP from other players. I can't move more than a few squares without being PVP'd back to the healing facility.

oh man! i haven't done much of the new content yet... but just the next map (and incidental two attached maps) is AWESOME!
i was not too thrilled when i saw how fast the elites spawn, but now that i have gotten used to the idea (and my faction already is well on our way to our first set) i think it is pretty sweet
i also wasn't initially thrilled about the L40PvP but once i got used to that i am enjoying the heck out of it. i do feel bad about ppl on slow connections though. i can literally run circles around some ppl :/

I'm sure the rest of the content is great. But this single bonehead stupid move by HCS to force us to kill an elite to carry on has effectively created a massive bottleneck, which is only going to harm the game in the long run.
They say that we can move anywhere we want as long as our levels allow it. But there is no sector map shown to be available past the 'Highridge Mines' one. Even though i'm level 46 and should be able to access it.

yeah, the elites went from decent spawns to ZERO! Please fix this. At least a few each hour would be something. However please bring back the instant spawns
