The Caretaker

Suddenly, the stakes got much higher in my anxious headspace. #IAmUnworthy

Before anyone jumps on me, by the way, the Boys-Only club thing is going to be addressed. Just not with the Warriors in their current and near-future iteration.

I don't wanna confirm and give out false hope, but minus the dance number, a few words in your post are correct.

The Warriors as implemented in the game will be staying as a beat-down human-male-only club of smugglers. The future, however, looks grim for them. They're over-extending their reach. People tend to notice that. *grin*

The pre-requisite for the arc was establishing the connection between Piecemeal and Bile and why they are friends. The mission itself, is a recreation in VR of what Piecemeal went through. Bile wants you to see it too. She attempts to brute force her way into the teleportation grid, and gets shunted from place to place until Dream Doctor finally tethers her and places her into the ruins of Galaxy City at the right time, foreseeing her place in the conclusion of the Coming Storm. It's all teasing what's to come. You're meant to be confused and intrigued, and left with a lot of questions - some of which are answered to the best of Bile's ability in the exit interview.

This may have been because of OTHER flags on it. Like IssueOnZoneEnter, which will be removed next patch as well.

You're right, because the Contact Finder can actually override any requirement settings on the Contact if some foolish developer flags it to be visible there. Once you teleport to contact the deed is done. Shoutout to studying the Television contact to figure out this one.

This should be solved in the next patch - I had some erroneous flags set in the contact.

This is a weird problem and I'll look into it.

You need to have completed the new Buzzsaw arc to play this mission. That's missing from the notes and I'll ask the Curator to adjust. That's an oversight on my behalf. My bad. If Open Beta has access to badgegrant, it's /badgegrant mission_i27_buzzsaw

To note about the succinct nature of the arcs: I asked Headhunter to "break himself in" making arcs in Striga (An area he is passionate about) that mirror the legacy content in design, function, and general mood. Therefore: We added more content to Striga because we wanted another place for villains to go, and this groundwork was laid somewhat in Stribbling's arc with M1DWAY. We kept the brevity and wit of the legacy arcs to keep one set from outshining the other. It gave us time to consider the things needed for Co-Op'ing zones. (Moonfire and Hess are known factors) And most importantly, the amount of burned-in knowledge Headhunter gained was immeasurable. Carry on, noble testers! Your feedback is most welcome.

For the incapacitated hero, look for designated areas that seem to have wispy orange energy and floating rocks. There be low gravity wells there to aid in the jumping puzzles. A badge was designed for this today.

Not featured: The Freaklok have a hand in the Apocalypse.

I get it! I get it!

Yup. When Piecemeal first started out with their arcs, they were going to use Pavel for the contact instead of creating Agent Watkins. Modifications were made to Pavel that were supposed to be undone. Because they were a new dev at the time, their data practices were horrific (Humble note: Mine are only slightly better). Git management caused the change (and reversion) to be lost when the data was squashed for main branch integration because reasons. Pavel *lost* the line in his data file that issues the arc entirely.
