I'll cross post this, because there's some nice stuff if you scroll down.

ROFL. Sure. What's the pay rate?

Well, "Bridge of Forever" doesn't introduce you to the Doorman, but it does send you to First Ward and tell you how to get there via the Imperial Underground. Possibly a Gold version of an EAT, like a DUST or TEST trooper would have an arc that extended into First Ward. I'm thinking that while Loyalists can take the missions from Doorman and so on, narratively, considering the War on Magic, they really should have a different introduction to the zone.

That's pretty nice, and gives some life to KR. If you've done "The Freakish Lab of Dr. Vahzilok" then And a few others could come along for the ride!

They are still not doing that very well!

Cast Idris, or a beefed up Blair Underwood as BAB. Oh ya.

It's the fact that the Rikti ships never come below a certain altitude whereas the fliers do sometimes. Or that's how I'm reading that.

It possibly could. But my old memory is fuzzy, weren't base raids a bit janky back in the day? I mean I quit playing due to RL issues (moving house and blah blah) prior to Going Rogue, so it's been over a decade since I even saw a base raid, and I don't recall them being great then.

Ok, Faultline has investigated the Base thing for me, so kudos to them! It all stems from the old base raid code wherein items will become targettable if such cross teams were enabled, and no one wants bits of their base destroyed! At least that's how it is right now.

A further aside to this, SG bases. SG bases simply should be coop zones. Since you can now have Gold/Red/Blue all in the same SG, and all literally standing in the SG base at the same time, not being able to coop with them while there, CF for an ouro crystal mission, is madness. And didn't you used to be able to launch CoP from a base?

Ah,,,once you start attacking him actual Avatars start spawning?

Well, I see a few every now and then, And since I play a lot of dedicated Golds it's the only real zone event GM you can get, so there's that.

Mine run from 19 to 25

BAB needs resolution to that Deadlock story at the least!

If Galaxy were to be realistically returned that would have some knock on effects. (1) narratively it would have to be smaller than original Galaxy, and contain some destruction/ruins. (2) the section of Galaxy we see in the tutorial is of a higher quality design than OG Galaxy, however that is not a complete map, and I don't mean it just has sections, it actually is several floating unconnected bits rather than a single block of map. So there's a fair bit of work there. The section of Galaxy with the crater from the Graves/Twinshot arc IS built into OG Galaxy, so that's a discrepancy too that would need to be accounted for as textures don't match. So a lot of work there actually. (3) the Galaxy tutorial itself would need to be removed, missing meeting the fabulous Blue Spectrum, (though frankly I'd just kill the voice over right now actually), and a swath of NPCs and people across Atlas Plaza would need to be reassigned, the Matthew Habashy arc would have to be removed...there's a big domino effect going on there to do all that. Now, I'm not saying it should not be done, it could be and could lead to massive new things/opportunities, but it most definitely isn't as easy as just "turning Galaxy City back on", and that quite frankly is NOT going to happen, since one of the things done literally last November was the removal of the Galaxy City Gate in Kings Row and the erection of a statue to Galaxy Girl at that very spot. On a quieter note, I'm simply baffled as to why a version of BAB wasn't simply left on his spot in the Echo. Echo Atlas still has its Ms. Liberty. And for old time fun I do sometimes take a lowbie into Galaxy City and go street sweeping there, but I can't level there. Bah.

An LO! From the other side of Portal Corps a glorious GOLD side was detected, and it was most excellent. Oh yes. though low in population, its sheer awesomeness balanced that most righteously. ROFL.

I found this screenshot I took of a run through Dark Deeds in Galaxy City: Part One. You might recognize this as being from the fifth mission.

Peeps, you are all stardust! Keep on shining.

Well, I understand the desire that each mission be a "standalone" to a certain extent, but the intent of the entire series - gimme a sec - - the intent is pretty much laid out there. To write a longer form, almost TV series style thing. So you just finished "Season 1". And that was the challenge really. To write a story that could cover 15, 30, 45 "episodes". So you get a few that are definitely almost standalone, but you get cliffhangers and surprises, and mystery people showing up. And other challenges too. Like . Things like if you visit the Freedom Corps Building in Galaxy City And with things like the SERAPH map, you have to lay the groundwork for some stuff! In Mission 1 of Dark Deeds in Galaxy City: Part Three you are picked up in an Arachnos Flyer, and that's what you step out of on the SERAPH map. And if you go to that exact spot in Steel Canyon, that building is an Exchange Bank! If you decide to continue on, the first one in the next arc has an EB! But thanks for playing! And I try my best to give a decent story, but like many a thing that is subjective. I will say I have grown to love the Meteors as a little super team though! (And there's going to be stuff that won't get resolved - oh, don't get me wrong, the major plot in this series DOES get resolved - because I like to leave hooks for myself in case I want to go back and write some more!)

Ascendant still has it!

BOO! No Emmysky! Boo!

Yeah, that's kinda why I like him there 😄 But IF the Deadlock story were wrapped up, surely his alter ego could hang around there? BaBs could head over to PD and hang with War Witch and enjoy the retirement.

Pretty much. Apart from when the model gets swapped out as a Hallowe'en costume thing, even though it's still him.

Well, it's holistic isn't it? Everything is connected. Back in thedawnatime, before Incarnates, PVErs would brace themselves and head in to Warburg to get those nukes, because you damn well needed them for some things.* Now? Meh. I mentioned elsewhere recently that I dropped one in the end battle of an ITF and frankly it wasn't even noticed in the flurry of Ion Judgements et al. Now, I'm not saying just make the nukes MOAR POWAHFUL, because that's a band aid fix, and doesn't help in the long run, just that things domino out. Anyhoo. And yeah, I can get a Shivan from BB, or I can just buy a Signature Summons and not bother. Similar effect. * I remember a few PVErs that got in PVP that way, survived and then thought, "Yah, I can do that, that's fun!"

Oh lordy. There's a headscratcher.
