The Caretaker

Your challenge was our "Not Working as Intended". In truth it was very much NOT working according to expectation from the Live Devs, and I'm sorry that this broken interaction was fun for you, but the pile of bug complaints was *formidable* to look at.

It would appear my fixes are in there. Is it possible that you had this mission before the patch (If so, you may still have a broken one somehow)? I basically need confirmation if a freshly granted Blogger mission still bugs out or not.

I have in fact fixed this, but don't know where in the pipeline it went. It has to do with conflicting variables set that override the hostage/captor settings to disallow friendly fire. Edit: And a whole host of other problems with that mission too

Thanks, beat me to this 😄

H'ro should always be spawning in that room - he's coded to spawn regardless of how close by the nearest other group may be. He'll always be in the three towers room. Medusa is set to spawn in any eligible spot in the middle of the map (again ignoring the placement of any nearby enemies), but not before you deal with H'ro D'tohz first. Edit: Your goal was always to negotiate first, and rescue Melanie second. So always make H'ro your primary goal.

You have stumbled into several easter eggs based on past accomplishments! 1) Glowie in Skulls warehouse means you completed the KW Skulls arcs, and the back door by the boss is unlocked granting access to the second level, where you can fight Morana. 2) The psionic lotus you clicked on in the Carnie mission is because you have the Illusionist kill badge. This is a secret area where a Warrior is being interrogated for resisting their mind powers. Talk to the Warrior - as soon as the Carnies snap out of the trance, either fight or RUN! 3) MiniMap issues, I will have to spend some time look at those. 4) Wyvern doesn't need doors at the top because they fly up those tubes, but the doors at the bottom are for the safety of pedestrian traffic from the exhaust. 5) The Listening Post mission features a glowie that is ghosted until activated. This is not new tech, but underutilized. It was always there, but the ghosting effect makes it challenging to spot on the first time around.

Should have a waypoint pointing to the cave door.

Tried my best on this one - the doors are missing up top because Wyvern flies up the shafts. The doors at the bottom are for the safety of pedestrian (technician) traffic that could be injured by the exhaust discharge of landing.

Glowies in these missions are designed so that some are flavor, some are targets, and you can learn which is which by clicking on them and see the glowie's name in the target box. Mission 2 completing early is just because lucky you, you found the void glowies first. Everything else is flavor. Arc completion (gold star) is contingent on getting the true ending, which means you got the Arakhn fight because you did Sister Valeria's arc.

Canonical now is in a gray area of time in which bits and pieces of convenient modern technology like drones and social media exist, but the year will probably never be cleanly defined. We'd much rather choose the haves and have-nots of the modern world's amenities and vices within Paragon City than to chain ourselves to a time and therefore the things that concretely should be available. TL;DR It's a fugue state of existence between 2012 and 2025.

I feel like Praetorian Hamidon is, in essence, a wildlife dark mirror to the Borg. Or the Phyrexians.

Good question. If and when we do the thing, we want to make sure it's meaningful and compelling. Currently, there are no plans, and if one were to go back there, well... that Hamidon is one serious omega-level threat.

The map created for the Piecemeal Personal Story is more or less the current state of Galaxy City. It is not like what's featured in the tutorial or OGT arcs, but built from that OGT map.

Same place I got all this finger food. At the Digital Expo.

*finger guns*

I say it is, so it is. Isn't that neat? See you around... Ashley? Ashton? Close enough.

The spirit of those costumes is alive and well - I made minimal changes to the original costumes, only adding Hero Corps branding and uniqueness where I could. Three went into John Houston's arc during the riots, you can fight them - Bronze Bird, Vulcannon, and Little League. More are in this arc - Vulcannon and Little League again, Calanthe, Cauldron, Feralina, Eye in the Sky, Shiverstrike, Iron Ellis and Rebecca Foss. Hero Corps members that became cloned into Paragon Protectors, not shown: Crosswind.

No questions. I'm just hopeful that you've engaged in some of our content and we're making you proud! It's been an honor.

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.
