Aberrant

This is my general timeline of events based on a post by @oxmox, with a few changes based on release dates and when characters drop out of certain storylines, with [ ] brackets listing events that happen out of the game. [Rikti Invasion of Primal Earth / Hamidon War of Praetorian Earth] 0. Original Tina Macintyre and Maria Jenkins arcs (available through Ouroboros) [A decade or more passes] 1. Goldside Praetorian arcs 2. New Tina Macintyre and Maria Jenkins arcs [Terra Volta is invaded by the Praetorians and the Freedom Phalanx attempt and fail to defend it] 3. Apex Task Force 4. Tin Mage Task Force 5. Admiral Sutter Task Force 6. Behavioural Adjustment Facility Incarnate Trial 7. Lambda Sector Incarnate Trial 8. Keyes Island Reactor Incarnate Trial [As the war progresses Praetorians start to leave the city, some fleeing to First Ward with the help of the Carnival of Light] 9. First Ward arcs 10. The Underground Incarnate Trial 11. TPN Campus Incarnate Trial 12. Minds of Mayhem Incarnate Trial 13. New Dark Astoria arcs 14. Dilemma Diabolique Incarnate Trial 15. Who Will Die? arcs (not relevant to Praetoria but are the reason why Statesman stops showing up on the radio during Incarnate Trials, but comes after Dilemma Diabolique as Sister Psyche shows up as a hostage in the Trial) 16. Night Ward arcs 17. Belladonna Vetrano arcs 18. Magisterium Incarnate Trial [Praetoria is in ruins after Tyrant loses control and Vanguard work to evacuate the remaining Praetorian citizens before Hamidon destroys everything] 19. Pandora's Box arcs (not relevant to Praetoria) 20. Praetoria's Hidden Treasure Villain Tip Mission (Level 30 Villain's lead-in to Mr. G) 21. Provost Marchand (Hero 30+) / Mr. G (Villain 30+) / Sgt. Schorr (Rogue 30-40) / The Major (Vigilante 30-40) arcs (Sgt Schorr's arc doesn't have any Praetorian content in it I think, but The Major's arc does) 22. Number Six arcs The original Tina and Maria arcs are partly canon, available through Ouroboros as events that happened shortly after the original Rikti Invasion and presumably not long after Praetoria's Hamidon War. Things like Apex, Tin Mage and Sutter TFs I would say take place largely around the same time as each other, much like BAF and Lambda. First Ward is concurrent with the early Incarnate Trials but happens before Underground Trial as you work with Vanessa Devore before she dies in the Underground, Diabolique is released and Dark Astoria arcs start. Night Ward happens after Minds of Mayhem as Malaise is dead in it. Dark Astoria & Dilemma Diabolique happen before Magisterium, as Dominatrix is acting on Tyrant's orders during the Dark Astoria arcs but is captured during. She is rescued in Dilemma Diabolique Trial, then helps out in the Magisterium Trial against Tyrant. Belladonna Vetrano's arcs pick up directly after Night Ward and directly precede the Magisterium. Provost Marchand, Mr G, The Major and Number Six are all post Magisterium and never went live in original City of Heroes, only available on the Test Server before shutdown. All very complicated, but for the most part things happen in order of release date. For Praetorian characters to experience everything in timeline order they would need to following their Level 20 arcs leave Praetoria to Primal Earth and as quickly as possible reach level 40 then continue with Tina & Maria and become an Incarnate, using Ouroboros for First Ward & Night Ward when necessary. Alternatively for a more consistent levelling experience one could go to First Ward, Night Ward, then straight on to Provost Marchand/Mr G's post Praetoria arcs, having not participated in the greater war as at the time because they were not an Incarnate. Very awkward.

They've said asymmetrical shoulders is in the works. A lot more mesh splitting required I think as lots of gloves already had right hand options due to robotic arms, but nearly no shoulder pieces have separate meshes.

As a poster-child for the Aligment system in Going Rogue, Pre-Praetoria Desdemona shows up in only Tip and Alignment missions for Rogues and Villains showing her transition from Villain to Hero as shown on her wiki page, as well as one Blueside alignment mission. Her counterpart Maelstrom similarly largely appears in Blueside Alignment missions. As for appearances not listed there: She then shows up in the Underground Incarnate Trial, Belladonna Vetrano's arc and the Magisterium Incarnate Trial. Post-Praetoria shows up in Provost Marchand & Mr G's Primal Earth arcs.

Yeah, he's next to a PPD van in a car park just to the East of the Platinum lake map marker.

This already exists for both sides. There are special contacts you can unlock for both redside and blueside that allow you to take on any Mayhem/Safeguard mission. You need to be at least Level 10 and get a specific badge to unlock them. When you've met the requirements you get a popup introducing them. To be able to do the Mayhem/Safeguard mission you want you need to be as high level as that missions maximum, which you'll get examplared down to. For Blueside it's Agent Hassell in Steel Canyon. He can be found in a car park just to the East of the Platinum Lake map marker. To unlock him you need to get the blueside defeat badge Villain Disruptor (defeat 25 "signature villains"). These are largely the villains found in safeguard missions trying to rob the bank, but also includes some found in tip missions and I think Recluse and the 4 Patrons. Maybe their 4 sidekicks as well? Not sure. For Redside it's Lord Schweinzer in Port Oakes. He can be found outside the building just South of the submarine you take for Port Oakes Mayhem Missions. To unlock him you need the redside defeat badge Hero Slayer (defeat 25 "signature heroes"). Similarly these are the Heroes that stop you during Mayhem Missions, but it also counts members of the Freedom Phalanx and the Vindicators.

I hope that map gets added back into AE at some point, it's really cool.

There's two of these in Atlas Park. The other one is at (-639.7 487.0 -2077.8), two buildings north of Wentworths. Absolutely agree, would be nice to have more of these cool spaces usable.

Pre-sunset, Issue 22. High level Banished Pantheon got a big redo for the Dark Astoria Incarnate content. The Tsoo also got a bunch of new mobs including female characters.

This one is there. It's under Flat>Mummified.

If you want a Carnival schism, best bet would be to set it between the Praetorian Carnival of Light and the Primal Carnival of Shadows since the Praetorians Carnies are now refugees on Primal Earth.

@Oxmox I would say Who Will Die should be somewhere after The Underground Trial and before the Dark Astoria arcs canonically as (SPOILERS) I'd put it after Minds of Mayhem and before Dark Astoria. EDIT: Just realised, I think Who Will Die's later episodes (4-7) would be after Dilemma Diabolique as (SPOILERS) So I'd say that Episode 1, 2 and 3 can be played anytime, but 4 to 7 would be after Dilemma Diabolique. Probably easier to slot the whole thing after Dilemma. I'd put Pandora's Box after Magisterium and before Marchand / Mr. G as it started coming out a couple months after Issue 23 but well before 24.

It's under Auras.

Thats a very good point, never made that connection. Thats what all the construction in the northeast part of the map was supposed to be for too. Seems likely. Damn that 5th Column moonbase!

Colonel Taggard is mentioned in Laura Lockhart's Council/5th Column story arc as her commanding officer. I assume that after her arc they would have passed you onto him for a second arc about the Council and 5th Column schism. Interestingly the souvenir of the arc mentions you receiving a medal directly from Col Taggard which doesn't happen, and would have been the natural lead in to his arc, or at least a text debriefing. I assume this and the Graham Easton arc also in Steel Canyon were part of the I24 beta and so weren't fully finished. Possible that Albert Maurer would have been more post-pretoria content similar to Roy Cooling in Talos, but no info on that that I'm aware of.
