Hi folks - you probably know me around here as the guy that pops up asking for info on bugs you're seeing, or telling you a fix is on the way. Well I play the game too sometimes!

I started playing in earnest on the live game when it came to PS4 last summer, and after getting very distracted by normal Escalation after that came out, I finally got back to my progression quests recently and upgraded my gear enough to unlock hard mode Escalation.

So today I redeemed an Escalation boost I'd been saving from the Hunt Pass, and hopped in to matchmaking for Shock 10-50 for the first time. Found a great little team, we made it all the way to Malkarion, and beat it!

I will admit, you had to revive me a _lot_ in that last round, mostly because of some poor choices on my part during that brutal Round 4 Embermane + Shrowd (which was also my first ever non-internal Shrowd hunt!), so thank you very much for being a great team!

And thank you to this whole community for being friendly, helpful, and all round awesome! (I will however continue to not use the "Dev Team" title for fear of just embarrassing myself.)

Next stop (after some Blaze 1-13 grinding for that Power Boost), Torgadoro. And hoping, against the odds, for no Flameborn Rezakiri on the way...that thing scares me.
