I used the "Pet" version from the AE (and he's still nasty!) because it was an Easter Egg to find rather than an end boss to defeat.

There was one in the final mission of the final Loyalist arc if I recall 🙂

Next time just start the thread with "Shut up", head them off at the pass so to speak.

Thanks! I tried to make them fit into the actual Gold side story as much as I could.

@TerroirNoir, don't leave immediately when you finish the fourth mission. Have a look around.

@Zhym, the mission @TerroirNoir just did, "The Winds of Change", that has the correct map.

Well, the Praetorian ones have a definite reason!!

@Zhym I was confused by your reference to the ITF map since I have never used it. So went through the missions. One of the last AE updates caused the correct map to change. I returned it to the proper one.

Marchand and Mr. G's arcs do have different responses here and there for Praetorian origin characters as opposed to Primal origin characters.

As of the last update this doesn't happen any more. Provided you stay in coop zones, and Ouro and bases now count as such. Meaning you can team with non Golds when doing an Ouro arc from a base.

Hell, @TerroirNoir, that's 78 missions so far! SEVENTY EIGHT! And you're still going! Kudos!

The levels of the zones/contacts from Nova to Night Ward would need shifting at the very least. Not an easy ask I feel but probably one of the first things that could/should be done before any other content, whether new arcs to bridge the Neutropolis to First Ward gap and the gap between Night Ward and level 50, or a Strike Force.

@Ankylosaur does clever mechanics very well!

@TerroirNoir, great pics, as @cranebump mentioned earlier. I like the set of Spectra in the air, particularly this one: Keep at it and thanks!

Well, his face is LITERALLY everywhere!

The Meteors was me wanting to write more Maven & Co, but not having worked out a way forward from the end of Darkest Before Dawn 3 yet. I was also attempting to do a sort of quasi tip mission thing, but the AE is borky and it didn't really work out that way. I was still reasonably pleased with the end result though.

Well, there's always the small prequel, The Meteors (in my signature) to tide you over. As for a sequel? I was waiting for some proposed additions to the AE that haven't arrived yet, but when they do...we will see. As a dedicated fan of Gold side I started writing pre Praetorian War arcs (Loyalist and Resistance) that fit into the canon storyline as best as I could make them. But I do have notes on a return to Maven and her team.

Yeah, ok that's me sliding in an in joke about one of my own characters 🙂

As a TOTAL aside, I went to see "Nosferatu" in the cinema last week. 100th anniversary of the movie and it was great seeing it on the big screen. LOOK, IT'S SNARKY!

That mostly helps, but sometimes as you can see it gets shunted elsewhere.

That is absolutely right though a bit of serendipity too, since it tied into the Galaxy City attack tutorial with the meteors and the whole Blue Spectrum thing.

Well, you DO see the flyer! It's what you step out of in the Steel Canyon mission at the end of that arc. I knew I was using that map at the end and retrofitted the intro to explain why you're landing in an Arachnos flyer! Sadly there's no hotel interiors. YET!

Well, look at it from a movie or TV perspective. The next installment has to up the ante and move the plot forward, or should. I chatted to @Ankylosaur and @cranebump about how the entire series was designed to be three "seasons" of 15 episodes each. I was very much going for a TV/Movie feel in advancement.
