Shadow Selves

I’m really enjoying this PvP mission chain they added with the latest update.  (Yeah, yeah, I know, I’m behind the times, but my account was one of the ‘compromised’ ones so I had to get that straightened out first.)  Basically, you get to play as the opposite version (Shadow) of yourself for a bit, down to the opposite Allegiances and Alignment you have.  Teammates and Clan-mates can try to stop you.  But unlike the whole Arcadia and Hellscape London thing, it’s temporary.  You don’t have to go full-out PvP if you don’t want to.  And it allows you to explore what it’s like making opposite decisions without having to lock yourself into those decisions.  It also drops a few of those PvP talismans (but don’t worry, hardcore PvPers, you’d have to go insane and play straight for a few months, probably, before you could actually earn enough to get the medium-tier PvP gear.  Still, even with the lowest tier PvP gear that you can earn, probably at the end of the mission chain, there’s some nice stuff that you wouldn’t be able to get otherwise.)

According to my Clan, it’s actually, weirdly enough, a really good bonding experience.
