The second day after the release of patch 5.2 i have noticed a big added by this patch. Set up mlk memorial library in downtown east for heroic, using an elite territory control ... after completing it was immediately asked to send flare for allies against the same checkpoint as a tier 1. I was not able to claim any tier 4 loot (the 4 or 5 items in the chest, and only provided the 2 tier 1 items upon completing the assault (as if it were an unclaimed checkpoint). I advanced fallen cranes in a similar manner with an elite patrol and elite territory control, with the same effect. I don't know if leaving the tier 2 world's end checkpoint in downtown west unclaimed had anything to do with this or is this the new requirement for heroic checkpoints, in which I don't believe it's worth the trouble.
I appreciate the fix to exploits that allow others to cheat, but not if it means sacrificing the tiered system you introduced and implemented that allowed for farming gear in a more interesting manner than rerunning missions. I hope you take a look at this before tu6 and appreciate all your hard work.
