It doesn't actually ask that at all. Posters have veered off into that but that isn't what @DougGravesstarted this with.

I'm not really disputing this, but that does literally depend on your hero. Pretty certain Dare Devil gets the train. Batman, while rich, still has to make his stuff and has a company to buy and sell things. So I don't think you're saying get rid of all of this, but rather make them optional perhaps? I just have no idea how you would balance this.

Have you seen the state of the Destroyers' teeth? I would not be surprised!

I always read the drug war thing in CO* to be more like "Venom" from Batman, than say real world drugs. And that seems reinforced by the Gold side equivalent, Fixadine, since it seems to work like that for the Destroyers.

A Longbow version of VEATs. Yes, WS & PB are HEATs, but they're NOT equivalent. So obviously that would mean, I dunno, a Nictus arc on Redside allowing WS & PB to start there? It's an assumption on my part of course that that would be simpler (ha!) than creating a new Kheld equivalent whole cloth. Yeah, I know lots of people don't like Longbow. Lots of people also don't like Arachnos. Whatever.

It kinda does though, doesn't it? Take an ouro mish, get exemped, and don't do it. Just sweep in the level you're now in? I had to do that to get Hallowe'en stuff for my Gold because I can't go anywhere else and home is too low level for door knocking. But, take an ouro mish, then knock on doors in Imperial, no probs.

Odd thing is, Studio 55 feels MORE like a club than Pocket D LOL.

All valid points 🙂 Thanks for that. My own suggestion above (still vaguely nebulous as I've said) has literally nothing to do with socialization though, just leveraging these places because frankly, (a) they're cool. and (b) surely it's easier to use a place you already have in the game as opposed to building a new one? (Ok, I prefer the Rikti Monkey Fight Club to PDP but that's just me!) But apart from Seasonal stuff and a thing that ties in to Night Ward, what missions are in Pocket D? No, I'm not counting skiing or the Arena. While I'm in agreement with @Icecomet that PDP (and the rest) need some love, I'm not advocating them as RP/meetup areas at all. Pocket D and dedicated bases do that pretty well already, as you've pointed out, and people will go to where there's stuff to do, even if it's only visiting Bobcat in Studio 55 for her missions. Anyhoo. That's not a critique of your response or the OP, just me hijacking the thread!

Talk to Rothstein in the tutorial. and go through his full speech. He's after you pass by the Clockwork and down into the Underground. He'll be standing on something that elevates him higher than the surrounding Resistance members.

Welp, the Warzones outside RV are dead because nowhere else lets you have all the top end shinies. Back before "thedawnatime", before Incarnates, Warburg used to see a lot more action because people WANTED those nukes to actually use, as opposed to have a cool temp power/get the Rocket Man/Woman badge. You needed it for some things. Now? Nope. I used one last year in an ITF, didn't even notice it in all the Ion Judgements going off. Shivan Shards? They're handy but you can buy a Sig Summons at the P2W so...whatever. Thing is, the "other players", as far as I can see, in your proposition, majority of them, don't want to be IN a PVP zone in the first place. So there's that to deal with.

Ah, if you level by content, then you level by content. We do have Ouro. It needs more things in there that aren't in there, but we have it. Now, lower factions having new content at higher levels? Oh yeah, bring that on. What Ouro AND the TFs need - especially since you can open a TF solo now, is the quasi TF function that the AE has. If I start an Ouro/TF solo and someone wants to join then they should be able to. Simple as that.

If they implemented this I'd want their ground level chatter to be things like, "Curses! Ok, who memorized the Levitate spell? No one? AGH!"

Well, I personally don't remember being in one in Port Oakes, BUT I've had people argue fiercely with me that there was and they were in it, and I have no proof they're wrong so...there we are 😄

I have several dedicated alts. ie Golds that never left Praetoria and hit 50, Villains that stay villainous and never soften to Rogue, and Heroes that are , well, Heroic. But the majority roster of my gang crosses back and forth across the lines pretty well, whether I'm on a tip hunt or just visiting the Gull for stuff. It's an issue that is easily worked around to be honest.

I've heard that Indom is the place to go for PVP. Anyone care to enlighten further? And you can be on BOTH if you like Excel 🙂

Rikti Monkey Fight Club!

And the Rikti Monkey Fight Club! I mean the real one! (Or one of the real ones, the one in Port Oakes is permanently closed.)

Thanks. The post is still semi inchoate, and could use more work, but I'm just (a) looking at how what we have can be leveraged, (b) as @Icecomet says, trying to show people places they might not know, and (c), most importantly, possibly introduce new content into the game. EASY...ROFL.

I sometimes go street sweeping on a new alt in Galaxy. It's nice at least running into Purp 6s there and fighting your way clear. OLD SKOOL!

I would actually like to have a door. Just a damn door I can open. I could even write "EXIT" over it. How about that?

Well, @DougGraves, one of the issues is the amount of players who think +4/X8 is somehow a "default" and get annoyed if you don't want to do that.

Gonna do a cross post, @Icecomet. Hope that's cool with you, as PDP is a major part of this. 🙂

(1) That's ...interesting. (2) We already have the AE, so that interface is there, and (3) I've been rabbiting on about how the AE itself should be mined for "tip like missions", whether the single drops like actual tips, or a "tip arc" (for want of a better word) that could be a full 5 mission thing. Interesting variant on things there. Don't see it happening though.

Well, that's a start! And "they" was effectively one person in the end, building all that. Mechanics, while fiddly, is a different beast.

Powers-wise or everything? I could understand to a certain extent powers-wise, but content? Actual story narrative attempting to move forward rather than a fossilized game? Not for this player I'm afraid.
