And just more maps. All the maps that are available, we want them. Including the ones hidden in the PVP Arena, where I found ANOTHER Kallisti Wharf map beyond the offices we already have. That being the half built stadium. (So how many unseen maps are there? None of the KW maps appeared in Live.) And Galaxy City maps. All mission maps that were there, and all the ones currently available. Is that too much to ask? All the maps? Is it?

A thing. It may not be easy but I'm stating it anyway. Doppelgangers. How we love them. A few notes. currently a Doppelganger replicates the team lead and only the team lead (unless it glitches and player 4 gets to be the point person for some odd reason despite not having the star). So, a possibility of the "Team Dopplegangers" like we see in the Positron TF? Possibly fiddly to do but possibly not, since it's now possible to solo open a TF then the spawned number of Doppelgangers has to equal the team size. While I'm on Doppelgangers. If an MM plays then the Doppelganger boss spawns but DOES NOT SUMMON THEIR PETS UNTIL ATTACKED. That's some craziness there that needs fixing.

I wrote a 15 slot (45 missions) story in AE that is broken into three "seasons". Plenty of Lore, went a fair bit out of my way to not contradict anything already established. Does something like that count? Some have said that's excessive, but it plays in 5 mission bits so...

There's a (to my mind at least) curious notion that so-called "endgame content" is (a) story and (b) the only story that matters. It's part of it, indeed, but, you know, if I for instance want to play Dare Devil, then why would I be looking for Galactus?

It's good having you here! (There...you know what I mean!) You're a friendly presence! (Not taking credit for the above, just saying!)

^ THIS. And for the future? Personally I don't really want to see the current tiny dev team shackle themselves to Battalion or what have you. More and more stories across the 1 to 50 range. The weird breathing space of the best part of a decade might have been, as said above, a blessing in disguise. Let's say it HAS been 7 or 8 years since Cole was defeated and he sits in his prison cell. What else has been going on? That's 7+ years of story to fill without ever getting to another "Big Bad", which apart from the mechanics and fun of a large team challenge is, IMO, narratively dull, because that just brings things to a point, and that's kind of limiting really. Anyhoo.

You've stepped outside the causal flow of your own timeline, so winding back to a Resistance mission means that if you had been able to do it at your level then you obviously had already done something for the Resistance that gave you the code. Once you finish that closed loop of an ouro mission you return to your normal timeline and find that while you experienced that event no one else remembers that happening and ergo you can't, and as far as they're concerned, never could, enter the Resistance base. Of course all that is narrative retcon 😄

I've spent too many years as a TT GM (and a couple as a Cam ST before I ran way screaming) so my default even when Rping away to myself is "A player is asking me a question" not " A character is asking my character a question."

You can fix that when it moves to HOF.

Yep. MacGyver may be talented but I don't want him wiring my house.

Reggae, surely? "Duppy Conqueror", "Get up, Stand up", "High Tide or Low Tide"?

Choral-ax? I'll get my coat.

A plaque would be nice. Previously though lost friends were memorialized via their main characters, such as Ascendant. Might be less fiddly. Might be more fiddly. I had considered an unused spot like Paragon Dance Party but one of the floating islands in Ouro is a much better idea.

I hope this is taken in the spirit it's meant, perhaps a new Memorial NPC a la Ascendant & Luna etc? Paragon Dance Party could do with a presence. Yeah, I know, too soon, but your mind races around when you hear these things. Edit. Was writing and posting when the above appeared. Crossed over there.

Oh, you get given the bag in the Web in Warbug, so having fought your exemped ass out of Arachnoids you then get ganked by "4REELS BADGE HUNTAHS" and then they have it. And then finally we find out that the REAL badges were the friends we made along the way.

Once you hit the max the devs give you a bag of badges that you have to hide all over the game for others to find, of course you get a badge for this.

Not so much calling you out, more saying, " Hi, not one of those, nor are these guys". Gives friendly wave!

Agree with everything you've said except this. All players should aspire to? Nah.

A job for a TRUE Mastermind!

Eh, because it doesn't matter? They were obviously maxed/stratted out to the gills+nukes and so on. And let them have their glory. Such things as that don't mean anything to me because I, like many others, don't play like that, nor does it interest me. I don't play on 4/8 because...well, what does that prove? Something to others, nothing to me. Everyone has their own comfort zone, and by that I don't mean "cotton wool covered space where nothing bad happens to you". There are no non performers, there are no upper echelon players. There are just players. Give me a well written AE that I have to get through at -1/1 because I really want to see this story over a Kill Most/All ITF Speed Run 4/8...because that's how I play 🙂 That said, echoing above, if a PUG of 8 could do that on any random day, now THAT is an issue.

Give an extra set of badges for going to P2W and rejecting shards/threads/incarnate salvage?

Yeah, I assumed you were talking about the RWZ in the initial post and not the Echo Crash Site. If it's the Crash Site there definitely shouldn't be porting.

The Echo? There shouldn't be a badge ON the ship in the Echo, I seem to remember there being one around the north side of the ship but that's just fiddly, and you shouldn't be ported anywhere in the Echo.

Only available when the shield comes down. Need to take part in a Mothership Raid.

Speaking of the King Kong thing, and flying stuff, isn't it weird that no one has ever attacked the blimps?
