I did another 50 or so of the new N+ levels today, and they’re getting a bit tougher, but still nowhere near as hard as the base levels. It’s too bad that these new levels don’t have leaderboards and don’t count towards the achievements, though. I’ll also have to give the co-op levels a try sometime.

I also did a bit of shop-hopping in Hellgate: London, finding a nice Master Engineer 3 weapon for buffing and some weapon mods that might come in useful later on. I can’t really play properly since I haven’t reset my skills yet because I’m still waiting to spend them on the new skills which won’t be introduced until patch 2.0 which won’t be released until…who knows. Everything went to hell at Flagship just before 2.0 was going to be released, and it may be a while yet before things settle down and they can start working on the game again. They laid off all of the actual developers though, which certainly doesn’t help… But it looks like Namco might sweep in and save the day, after all the behind-the-scenes business finagling surely going on right now.
