Just as an aside to all the back and forth elsewhere, I thought I'd pop in and say HI! You're ALL lovely people! Yes! Even you over there in the corner! BIG WAVE! HUGS!

Well, it achieved what I intended then! ROFL. Not everything is HORROR and MISERY!

Honestly, this is going to take you simply AGES. Thanks all the same though!

No, you started in the right place. "The Meteors" does involve Madame Maven's team but is set before the one you're on and isn't connected to that story.

I enjoy filling my AEs with stupid amounts of CoX lore and easter eggs. I don't care if no one else gets it or finds them.

You have issues!

Exactly, @TerroirNoir. You ramp that arc up higher and even Axios will go down, but he'll take a few Arachnos with him along the way.

Alternate Logan? Like the fact that Professor X in the last Doctor Strange movie was not the Fox version.

Very kind words there, @cranebump!

Was doing an Invader badge run and when we entered the map on several mayhems the mission holder (still outside), lost connection to mapserver. And no, not their net connection.

😄

The game does remember what you were previously! However that only shows up in the Marchand/Mr. G Primal arcs, both late additions to the game. Oh there's a LOT of things to be told in Praetoria! See signature for more!

This is never going to happen.

Not using it either for same reasons...HOWEVER...maybe that boss needs a badass bodyguard lieutenant. So the boss drops loot but the 2ic doesn't. We'll see. Other than that? I still love AE! Then again as an SFMA writer and player any changes never affected me.

O pointy birds, o pointy pointy, Anoint my head, anointy-nointy.

An oversight I think. But a trip to PD works fine.

You can't access Ouro but you CAN place a Pillar of Ice and Flame in your base and do them from there. Can't team with non Golds though.

Agreed. (But you can get to max level on a Praetorian, it's just fiddly). I've bolded that particular sentence because in my own entirely aneccdotal experience (including much chat with others, still hearsay I know) the burnout wasn't with Praetoria so much as with the Incarnate Trials being almost the entirety of the max level content in the game. People might be equally "burned out" on Kings Row if the same were true. As an intermediate step I'd look to loosen up the level constraints on contacts in Praetoria so that you could properly team up with others without suddenly missing half the story when you go from level 7 to level 11 over the space of a few missions.

Hola, been on a little vacay, sorry for slow response. What @Krimson and @Six-Six are saying is accurate. And for a story gap between Neutropolis and First Ward I have two trilogies of canon derived AEs for those levels. You don't have to take the Rift Mission at all, just go to The Doorman in the Imperial Underground, chat to him, then he'll send you through the door beside him into First Ward.

Trouble is all mission maps need pathing and beacons and tested spawn points otherwise they won't work. Bases don't have these. For example try getting your Mastermind's minions to properly follow you in a base. It's not good. So while it looks initially viable it instantly falls down.

If Gold were to have a TF/SF, it would really need to happen in the Wards, otherwise the resultant XP would catapult you beyond your contacts in Nova to Neutropolis. OR that set of levels gets shifted a bit to be looser perhaps.

Unfortunately it's "make your own pirate" time. That spectral look will be a bit fiddly but mostly doable I think.

@Krimson, considering Praetorian Malaise and Mother Mayhem can show up in the Shadow Shard...I'll leave that there!!!!

Good idea. There's a chunk of us who don't recognize those signs though, but still a good idea all the same.

I'd love to have an alternate route to do the Number Six arc too. The one place in Praetoria a Praetorian cannot go. That is bloody annoying.
