Base Code: VISIT-33417 Base Name: The House of Forgotten Wisdom Builder: @BBBadger @Easter Bunny SG Leader: Tomekeeper Shard: Everlasting Theme: Other Special Considerations: Recommend using /vis_scale 5. This base is usually closed off because I use it a ton for my personal RP. But for this week, it's open for OOC tours! This is the fabled library of the Tomekeeper - the avatar of an Eldritch horror who likes to collect rare books and artifacts. While this base isn't finished, it's in a solid space right now!

Yup! That's constructed for hundreds, if not a thousand, different items. The builder is brilliant!

I have very few magic characters... but my main is one of them. And he just sort of summons things from his Patron's void. So in his case, it's a boring answer such as 'magic!' For my mutant speedster Chad Booker... he's a fan of fanny packs. I have a few emotes that show off that he gets his new bullet magazines from his fanny pack during missions. Fanny packs are the key to good villainy!

I've been asking for this for awhile. Give us Walk (Male walk) , Strut (Female Walk) , and Stomping (Huge Walk) . Some of my male toons need to flaunt them hips! My wife has a variety of characters who would switch between the three as well. No shame if you like the standard sway - just give us the choice!

As for Battlemaiden... Uh... more headcannon? The Spear she found isn't from outerspace or some ancient technological planet. It's from another dimension. Both spears (One found on Primal Earth and the one found on Praetoria) come from the same dimension. Maybe that dimension sends out weapons to other dimensions because it's some sort of sociological experiment? Anyways, Primal Earth's Valkyrie used the weapon to help people. The Praetorain version, who grew up in a darker time, uses the weapon to control people. I mean, my head canon requires ignoring a lot of the earlier Praetorian lore... ore assuming that the Primal Earth scientist just got the data wrong before handing it out.

Yeah... I always just assumed Praetorian Infernal was T'Keron who was Infernal's friend who got bound to a demon lord. His friend and Infernal got sucked into a new dimension - but T'Keron ended up on Praetorian Earth instead while our Infernal ended up on Primal Earth. So, my head canon is just that they aren't the same Infernal - they just took up the same title.

Ah. So I figured it out. 3 merit award arcs don't count. I don't know why it wasn't stated more clearly but you need to do an arc that awards 5 merit awards.

Has anyone else had issues with the 'Alpha Not Omega' badge? I keep running Story Arcs in Oros with the 'Only Alpha' selected... but nothing. Haven't gotten it yet. Is there specific arcs I should be running? I've done a few that are listed as 'Story Arcs' on the Homecoming wiki.

I don't mind having split influence/recipes/salvage on separate characters - however, I think Vault should be reworked to make it account wide. Anything that goes into the vault can be accessed by your other characters. That way, you sort of 'opt in' on what you wish to share. I feel it would keep everything nice and organized instead of me having to deal with the equipment and influence of everyone on my account.

The only thing I wish prestige to be used for is if they were to bring back some form of Base Raiding. If an SG base was marked as raidable, I think it would be cool if they could earn power/energy/whatever by farming prestige. And they could use it to make their bases as defensible as possible for whatever awards would be showed upon them. But to make it just a tax for creativity seems like a bad idea for me.

As of a week ago, LT counted just as well as Bosses. If they are named, they counted towards the count for me - thank god. Else it would have been an impossible badge to get.

I just completed this badge. It's not a good grind. At all. I did it solo and it easily took me a few hours of circling the Zig. I think the final time was three hours spread a crossed three nights? First off: The Powered Bosses? They don't count. So don't bother with them. I did thirty minutes of hunting them straight and then realized they didn't count. I have no idea WHY they wouldn't count but they don't. Second off: Don't look for just bosses. Lieutenants also work. The badge description lies. Third off: Do the Breakout Zone Event. You can get about 3-4 named LTs and Bosses from it. So always complete it all the way through and while it reloads (5 minute time), swoop around and look for more LTs and Bosses. Fourth off: Run around hitting Tab. Minions are just named Prisoners. However, anything that is named (But not super powered) is a LT or Boss. Kill those. Fifth off: The badge description also lies again! It's not 100 bosses. It's 200. I was so angry when I realized this.

Praetorian Lore: Why were Praetorians accepting of mass psionic surveillance? When Praetoria finally arose from the smoldering hellscape from the Hamidon War, literally everyone was suffering from some sort of mental trauma. While mental health was pushed on anyone and everyone in order to give them the help they needed, not all were able to get past their trauma. Shortly after the loss of First Ward, a survivor who worked with Praetor Keyes simply snapped. He tried to bring down the sonic fences around the entire city. In his mind, it was better to end it all now than to just have the city wait for yet another failure. Cole along with the rest of the heroes were able to stop him. This incident pushed public opinion the need for psionic surveillance. Everyone didn't want someone turning off the sonic fence or doing something more drastic due to an undiagnosed issue brought on by the constant fear of Hamidon. Now, the Resistance spins this tale a little differently. They claim this whole thing was just a big production. No one snapped. No one tried to bring down the Sonic Fences. This was just another lie created by Cole, or at the very least, Mother Mayhem, in order to gain more control over Praetoria. Last Bastion (from the Praetorian Final Arc) isn't well publicized. Most refugees have been led to believe that the entire Praetorian Earth is consumed. Right now, Vanguard is working with those of Last Bastion to make the city secure. Eventually, it's existence will be revealed to most of the populace and the offer to allow people to return will be presented. However, right now? It's a closely guarded secret. Of course, there are rumors about it that pop up from time to time but most refugees just think it's that - a rumor. Praetor Barry lives! Yup, I refuse to accept he's died off camera. I've created some AEs where the players are investigating cloning operations in Primal Earth. The only clue so far is a dying clone soldier muttering about 'The New One'. Marauder and the New Praetorians are secretly trying to figure out if 'New One' is actually "Neuron'. If so, who knows what the crazed genius is up to and why he's running an illegal cloning operation! Rogue Isles (Etoile Isles) Lore There is a group called the Etoile Liberation Front (ELF). They work to bring down Arachnos anyway they can - even at one point working with the Praetorian invaders because Cole was better than Recluse and his Destined Ones. The group has lost support since their Praetorian gambit but they are starting to make a comeback due to increased crack downs by Arachnos. Most people on Etoile are about 10 years behind on media. While the rich and powerful have access to these things, it isn't uncommon for poorer Etoile citizens to be talking about media that came out 10 or so years ago in the States. This is because of the heavy embargos and internet restrictions from Arachnos. Most of the media is from hard copies such as black market DVDs, Blue Rays, MP4s on flashdrives, and CDs/records/cassettes. While some media translates well, others doesn't. Most of Etoile don't understand why people love 'The Office'. "Michael Scott would be killed within a week by at least Dwight!" There is a partially finished underground subway in Port Oakes called the Oakes Transportation Hub. It started JUST before Recluse came to power so only a few tunnels and stations were started. The plan was to create four stations in Port Oakes and then have a tunnel run under the mountain straight to Cap Au Diable. Sadly, since the service was never completed, people have to resort to crowded ferries to travel between the two cities. Heroes who work on Etoile work closely with something called the Homeless Network. Basically, it's a network of homeless people who share stories and rumors to those looking to help out the poor and desperate. This homeless network has been stamped out by Arachnos a few times but it usually comes back after a few months. Westin Phipps has made it his goal to completely dismantle this. He believes by doing so would gain him great favor with Arachnos. (This is my explanation for when I play an Etoile Hero. Instead of grabbing stuff from the Newspaper, I pretend I talk to a nearby homeless person and then just reskin the mission. I'm not kidnapping a person - I'm saving them!) A lot of poor neighborhoods don't have the ability to stream movies. The infrastructure just isn't taken care enough in those area to make it worth it. So Netflix isn't something that's popular in Mercy, some areas of Port Oakes, and certainly not Sharkhead. The people of Etoile have been convinced that charity (giving or taking it) is a sign of weakness. That is why most people don't try to set up things like soup kitchens or donation shelters. Arachnos has led a propaganda movement to push stories of people poisoning food at food kitchens and other bad things. They've pushed the idea that no one ever does charity to do charity - and that if they claim they are just trying to help, they're just trying to trick you. That's made the population of Etoile hesitant to just accept 'free' items such as food, drink, and even money. Everything has a price!
