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.

She's in three if you count Trident base! Four on Valentine's Day!

I think he should get a proper retirement arc, since the Deadlock story didn't have a conclusion. Then he can go where he likes, put his feet up somewhere, and Marauder can take his spot in the back end of Atlas, since he has to work his way into good graces anyway.

As a side note, as someone who tries to write AE stories and so on, and bemoans the lack of maps - yes, it LOOKS like there's a lot, there aren't, and many are nigh useless - I had this reply from Faultline regarding maps for the AE: "This is not difficult but it is very time consuming. Every enemy spawn, hostage and collection location has to be placed by hand. Older maps had generic spawns that translated easily to AE, newer maps are heavily scripted and don't have generic mission spawns. Slices of the city zones obviously have no mission spawns. It takes several hours to place and test the spawn points for a single map, and that's why you don't see a lot of them added to the AE. For the Arena you only need to drop a few player spawn points and call it a day, that's why eight maps could be added in a week." Bold text is my emphasis. So much as it benefited PVPers, it was fast and easy to do this, rather than, as far as I can see, must give PVPers new maps for the Arena. Take it as you will. Frankly, my fellow CO* peeps, if you want people to go to SC/WB or BB, then they either need to be doubled as a PVE zone with new content attached, or simply become a PVE zone with new content attached. Not enough people care (and as mentioned above, some are just hostile to it) and HC needs to leverage the assets it has, and BB and WB are great zones. Personally, if I had to pick one of those options, I'd go for the first, because I don't want to see PVP cut off at the knees. You can disagree and shout at me now 🙂 I won't take offence.

No it isn't. You're producing material to play, as opposed to Fire Farm #9073, and it's quality material IMO, and asking for more slots to do that in is perfectly fine.

Because he's a perfectionist and is probably off polishing it and moving scenes and so on!

Still say it should have been Reunion, since all the other shards are already Anniversary badge titles.

Don't see that at all.

Oh I don't think Longbow are kinda dopey and useless at all. I see...other things going on there 🙂

Why did I immediately go to this?

THIS!

That seems far more reasonable then.

So you think one big server is going to work the same way the shards do now? That wasn't obvious from your statement.

Because I play on Reunion and don't want to play at 4 am, because I'm damn sure the "big shard" won't default to a time zone I can live with, because I'm not 20 anymore and I work, because I don't want to lose my favourite game again because some people think this is a good idea. IF, tentative IF, due to dwindling numbers and funds shards had to be merged, that's a different thing and I'd have to be pragmatic, otherwise no thanks.

Well, that's exactly what I meant, YOU (the player) put it in YOUR bio. But before you even consider that follow these to the letter and spirit! In full agreement! Absolutely! Yep yep yep. My suggestion was, apologies for not providing clarity, a FURTHER set of belt and braces if you absolutely, positively want it known that you're not interested in that.

Yep.

That would need names sorting out, or one giant shard. And frankly the former would be a pain in the butt and the latter I never want to see.

See, what we have here is a situation where Lord Recluse is, to paraphrase ...ahem...the hero that Paragon needs, not the one it wants, but he can take it. A Dark Knight, a watchful guardian, a beacon of hope against the Battalion. (Goes and has a lie down)

But have you heard of the exciting world of Day Jobs?

Tap pastiche! Who killed Firemullet's drummer? (Again).
