I was just pondering that there are no firestations in Paragon, at least as far as I can see, nor any fire engines/trucks. So why not? Where does the Fire Marshal come from/go to before and after the fire event in Steel Canyon? And more importantly if there WERE firestations then how about we be able to buy the fire extinguisher temp power there? Yeah, I know REAL firestations don't let you do this, and frankly you could add it to the P2W or to Wentworth's, but actually having a firestation building would be an extra bit of color to the cityscape. And I do mean BUY the power from them. I know the Marshal just hands them out but that's part of the deal, the fire is ongoing at the time. And even if you can't/couldn't buy the temp power I think there should at least BE some firestations in Paragon.

Possibly Praetorians get the option of going down, and this is simplistically thinking on the hoof, the route of Vigilante/Rogue BEFORE having to make a Hero/Villain choice? And the fact that there is an entire area (I know it's just an instanced map but even so) of Praetoria that no actual Praetorian can ever get to, Last Bastion, bugs me.

Doh. I have had that there so long I just forget! Now that I think of it, isn't that just great!

And he has this cool little "Thank you" glowie citing where he sourced them in one of the missions 😄 EDIT. And he actually said that because even though I read it it did not register with me, duh.

The mini Zone map will need realigning too then, for Siren's Call.

Well, sorry to see you go, but glad to hear you're having fun, and that's what matters in the end, isn't it?

Will this (I'm not sure how but I'm asking) need to be reflected in the Siren's Call maps in the AE? Though I don't know if @Lines has already checked this 🙂

The white pieces is a known issue unfortunately. Mainly when you attempt to recolor them to be something different. It's like the color is coded into the shoulder piece/whatever rather than skinned. The Elite Bosses thing? Sheesh. Time for us all to experiment then and see if we can't find some solution.

Oh, like I said above I wouldn't want them back alive, but new stuff set in the past? Why not? Hell, with a recolor of his outfit you could use Manticore's model as the original Manticore and have fun with that! Manticore Senior and a younger BAB, all the fun of the fair before Protean shows up! You could even go all Flashpointy and have a Thomas Wayne-esque Manticore Sr, where young Justin and his mother died. There's a Mender mission for you!

It's Hallowe'en. Lots of peeps with their costumes one 🙂

Speaks for itself really. Welcome to First Ward 🙂

Yeah, it's that time of the month, so I'm polishing up the ego and reiterating my nominations for upcoming Dev Choices. 🙂 (Both come with an intro section detailing "The Story So Far...") In the meantime, keep writing people, there's some great things to be found in the AE Story missions!

Well I'm liking this so far. More Gold Content is good for me. What about people like ME though? Level 50 Goldsiders?

Having read all the comics I like what they're doing, they've changed enough so that it surprises me. And Antony Starr is just great.

Of course these would all be instanced missions in the same way that Mayhem/Safeguards are, because we simply cannot cross over without "naturalizing" as Primal characters. And as soon as we do we lose every access to contacts and arcs that we had Gold side. Or possibly more like the Portal Corps missions?

Thanks, Arcanum. That cut short my googlification! (Still re-reading the end of the novel though for the Brass Monday/Brass Monday Movie idea!)

Interesting. What about those of us who play Praetorians then?

Right, I checked the Brass Monday movie poster outside the cinema in Atlas Park. No actors mentioned, a lot of guff about produced by etc, the only REAL name on there is Robert Weinberg's (which they spelled incorrectly!) as the author, and he wrote The Web of Arachnos. So definitely back to the book for me!

Sheesh, there's a lot of misery in that thread. I don't want him back myself because I'm also an advocate of dead is dead. But that's not the same as I mentioned above. I don't want him back in the now, but then? Yeah, more then!

Seriously? Damn. Who the hell? I'm on Reunion majority (alts on other shards but mainly Reunion) No, don't tell me. Also, LOL, as an Incarnate level 50 Praet who never left, yeah, sure they did ROFL. (Although I do feel a bit bad doing iTrials and tend to stay at the back where the boss can't see me!) Many years ago I was an ST in the Cam, and I used to smack this nonsense down every time I saw it rear its head. Ah well.

And why not? 🙂 Gotta pop along to a cinema and see what's written on that poster. And elsewhere I demanded that at every update (the once a month thing rather than a new issue/page) the cinema start listing something else other than "Rise of the Council"!

ACTUALLY...ACTUALLY...how about a mission set on the SET of the in-world Movie of Brass Monday? It's advertised at the cinemas and all 🙂 Actors playing Statesman and Maiden Justice etc. Ok, I've wandered!

You know, memory fails me on that. Gonna have to research it.

I'd like to take absolute credit for that but I have a hazy memory that the OG Devs talked about it and then didn't do it due to having to turn a map instance into the 1930s. Doesn't mean it couldn't be done but they never did it. What do you need for the 1930s? Period specific autos. NPCs with hats and so on. Period specific police. More Art Deco buildings? I mean the Nemesis army should look identical. Statesman's 1930s costume is known (whether there is a model for it is another thing though). I need to dig out The Web of Arachnos and read that bit again! I mean if Recluse can send you to the 1960s to aid his overthrow of Marchand then...anyway. (And boy have I made use of those 1960s Arachnos outfits in AE!)

Well, I think now that he IS dead we should let him rest, HOWEVER, time travel missions being what they are then he can still play a part and probably should. And I think, if you've read them, Solaverse, I defy any of the StatesHaters to read the novels and not think he's a good and empathetic, and mainly human character, when NOT written by his original creator. Look, it's simple enough here. Superman is created by Siegal & Shuster (and I'm not levelling the hate that JE got at them) but frankly give me Grant Morrison's All Star Superman any day. Statesman is entirely workable as a character, he just needs to BE a character as opposed to a hat for a dev to wear. Who wouldn't want to see a time travel mish set in the 30s at the height of Brass Monday, when States was new and shiny and just earnest?
