Addressing this as someone who mains Gold, lots of Gold. No. Keep them separate. What you need is a way for Golds who leave to still be recognized as such by all their old contacts when they revisit outside of ouro. (That and raising the cap to leave to 25 or having another Gold zone that covers 40 to 50). And for another part of the equation, why do Safeguard missions and Mayhem missions only happen in Paragon? Surely banks get knocked over in the Rogue Isles? (Yes, they do in a few isolated arcs but those aren't the same thing.) More Vig/Rogue material that covers the seedier underbelly of both sides, as opposed to the few, very few, arcs that serve them. Yes, yes, tip missions. Much as I love tip missions, not the same thing. Fundamental structure? I keep advocating (you people must be either sick of me doing it now, or haven't noticed it yet) that the AE be mined for content and ported into the game. There is some great work being written in the AE with fairly limited tools I might add, plenty of writers pushing at the envelope of what can and can't be done. Expanding that toolkit, nevermind implementing my oddball theory crossposted above, would be cool. And I'm a person for whom "making little stories in the AE" is a big part of how I actually PLAY the game 🙂

You are, for my money's worth, absolutely right!

Started Posi 1 yesterday by continuously commenting on all the fridges. "Ooh, there's a fridge here! Don't fancy whatever is in a sewer fridge!"

Are you both Gulls? No. NO ASCENDING FOR YOU!

Trying out Cel shading. And kinda liking it.

Just a shot of the Meteors together. Love that gang 😄

Seems like some of the other Arachnos soldiers like a quiet drink out of the way of the CCTV cameras. On report for you lot!

Sword initiate thinking: WTH? Neuron or Antimatter have lost it completely! What sort of a Clockwork abomination is this?

Just a group shot of the Meteors together 😄 Love those people.

Exactly! *cough* Along with all the other stuff missing from the AE 😄

If Perez could get the Atlas treatment (comparing the Echo to the present one) that'd be cool. Of course plenty of other spots need it more. It does depend on the zone though. Faultline and the Crash site were needed. I suppose DA was too, but I prefer the vibe to Echo DA.

Ah, time fracture there. Killed and yet lives on! And I get off that chopper in Paragon to find Sister Psyche is dead for ages...but I just left her...whut?

That happens regularly on Reunion! (Ok, it happening is sometimes MY fault but even so!) Also, THE Blue Spectrum is in the Galaxy City tutorial! I mean, THE Blue Spectrum! AWESOME!

You know, in a real world sense I thought it was designed to kill COH and prep for COH2. Now, that is NOT going to happen here, for obvious reasons. And as @Greycatsaid, some of the AMA (a LOT of it TBH) around this is just cringey. So, two options. (1) SOMETHING happens and it's (please please please) not the crap spoken of in the AMAs, or (2) you know, those who spoke of it were, oh dear, WRONG. As in absolutely wrong. Heaven forfend that Prrometheus and his giant ego get something wrong. But he turns out to be completely wrong, and we get something cool and beautiful that hasn't been spoilered by a decade old AMA that people keep dragging out as if it's the Necronomicon. And why did he get it wrong? Because Zeus hates him and left "clues" for that idiot to drool over. Ahem.

Well, Original Posi and Sister Psyche already mentioned, maybe Calvin Scott? Some stuff that just won't even APPEAR outside of Ouro for instance.

Thematically? Right now we have Pos1/Posi 2, so I'd go straight into "The Graveyard Shift" and "The Freakish Lab of Doctor Vahzilok" from those.

That was fixed. You now spawn up on the roof rather than in an exposed spot around the side.

Reunion. But it ain't copyrighted! Start your own AE Exploration Gang on the shard of your choice! Drum roll!

A bunch of us regularly get together and search for SFMAs to do, round robin pick. Find something fun? Did that person write more? Look for that! And then we have the Ratings game. Ok, this has no plays but sounds interesting, let's give it a whirl. Oh, that was godawful. Spin the wheel again. Oh, that one was great. Confer on merits of it, award stars, rinse and repeat. And when I say a bunch of us, we usually recruit a few so it's a semi PUG at least.

We do a bit of this on Reunion. Then again there's a dedicated Praetorians SG that will join you Goldside for teaming 🙂 And a bunch of us have fought our way up to 50 without crossing, or farming, since the SG gives us access to an Ouro crystal for stuff we missed. And just as you mentioned, get to 20, head to First Ward and keep going. And those Light Paths are life savers when you're that level and escaping DUST troops!

NO FRENCHIE! Not the baguette! (I might be channeling Jean de Baton-Baton there)

Hmm, a hero whose shtick is cosplaying other heroes?

Ah, I LOVED Preacher...and then half way through for me it turned to crap - apart from the Saint of Killers!

Yeah, THIS over Preacher any day for me. And we all know GL is a cheapskate, yeah?

Okay. Found those two very flexible. Especially when you have a jam session around the table and work out that since you can apparently teleport through anything, then you have a time travel power! Temporal Teleportation here we come!
