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.

I thought that was staying, just that you can't convert them to RMs anymore. Or did I miss a post? I would not be surprised, there's been so many.

I've not checked this, but do you get Patrol XP for logging off inside a mission in the AE? I suppose, like the base monitor badge, it might default to an AE day job. I don't know.

EXACTLY!

AE provides new content that Ouro doesn't. (Note, not actually disagreeing with your list at all, just adding to it.)

Kameron is at Vet 67 at the moment. Being able to do Incarnate Trials has helped with that! Here she is in her Powers Division dress uniform hanging out with Disconnect. (I did hit 50 back in 2020 though. It was lonely then I can tell you!)

Well, true! MY fault for being on a different shard in a different time zone! But I pay heed to the handful of Forever Praetorians out there. Ya'll are kin!

HEY! HEY! This Forever Praetorian will notice!

The Devs are taking Legacy Salvage away!!!! BOOO!!

Have a look for posts for "The Long Riders". That seems to be their deal, though I don't know how active they are.

I'm just going to buy as much Legacy salvage as I can right now for NO REASON AT ALL.

Overall 80% for me. Episode 1 was meh. Pacing was terrible. Sadly the same for 24/7. Christie didn't project enough menace for me. Ellis could have done it (he does menace well), but it's not the blonde thing is the issue, it's the weight of an entirely different version of Lucifer he'd bring with him is the issue. Pity he couldn't have done this first. Definitely tops Good Omens. For me that show immediately tanked every time Tennant and Sheen were offscreen. That doesn't happen with Sandman.

Is this being suggested though? I see nothing to signify that in the patch notes. There's a lot of talk going on about such a thing but nothing beyond what's in the notes. Outside of Dev Choices I already get lower XP/drops per story. If it reverted back to tickets only for that then that's fine too, for me. But I'm just me and one person's drink is another's poison.

Well, I'm probably in the "truly don't care" section I suppose. If the Emp -> Reward Merits conversion is removed then that bothers me not. Mind you, if it stays then that doesn't really affect me either, since I never use that anyway. Oh well. Back inside and close the door. Maybe I should call the cops about noise levels or something.

Am I actually in a minority here? I use AE all the time, but not to farm. Just to run player made stories. I feel like I'm wandering out of my room to find two sets of people fighting in the hallway, about nothing to do with me but jebus they're noisy.

Oh my.

Maybe a puzzle based around destructibles? They have guards so the bashing still happens. I dunno.

Maybe something like you know your ally is mind controlled, and ONE of the things you need to click will reset them to enemy. Go in knowing that, and with the ally at a stupidly tough level, an EB or something, might see people clicking and trying to read the script as fast as possible before backing away quickly when they see it's the one that turns their killing machine ally into their personal hell.

Yeah, lots of people just don't like not being able to steamroller over stuff. I think you had a cool idea but the AE mechanics are too borky to get it to work without people getting annoyed.
