Cool - I noticed that garden while flying, but I didn't check for stairs. Stairs get you inside it?

Yes; There are, IIRC, two marked roof-access doors on the building, one on the N side, one on the S. I think they're the NW and SE corners. I parked a character under the dome prior to the shutdown of the live servers.

A bit silly but if you stand by the bathrooms in Pocket D you can

hear vomiting, toilets flushing and the occasional farty sounds depending what is going on.

 

Also there are several NPC's called the BUM who sit outside the entrances to the old Paragon Dance Party (which

got replaced by Pocket D) and sarcastically tell you to go to Pocket D and let me sleep.

What they say can vary but it's always sarcastic.

 

Finally there is a developers clubhouse (The Cryptic Lounge) hidden under the rubble

in Faultline. The tunnel to get to it is under a ramp and behind some crates.

You can find Melissa Bianco (WarWitch) in her street clothes and a

badge inside. I used to hold SuperGroup meetings in there.

...and is ironically still there even though Homecoming put the PDP back in!

Maybe you should be hanging out in the Market forums instead of just posting selfies!

I still can't believe people don't know Natterlings fuse into Bull Natterlings like Hercules Titans do to become Zeus titans.

Also, does anyone else remember when Peregrine had a "Transport Zone" where you could just bull-charge East from Portal Corps into the wild blue yonder and when you hit the boundary wall, you'd go right to Talos? Super handy as a lowbie who lost their team or a lazy bridge that had to go back to Luminary to level up before Castle moved in.

ITF is some serious XP. With a 2XP boost, I went from 42-50 in a Kill All ITF. Dare I say it was faster than my Comic Con Farms.

When I'm trying to organize one, I occasionally advertise it as a dev-sponsored S/L farm.

And if you look at the Kronos Titan, it's got the same design as the Zeus Titan, just bigger and recolored; I always wondered if there were Ouranos Titans that merged to make Kronos Titans; it would make for more flavor in Malta missions if players could run into Ouranos titans, and then get faced with a pair of them merging into a Kronos...

East? I always remembered flying south from PI until you zoned back into Talos; going east, you hit the force wall.

There was a period where the Paragon City Dance Party zone /was/ inaccessible, but it was eventually reopened.  Not sure what prompted that, honestly.

trying to dilute the erp in Pocket D I imagine 😄

The devs never took the PDP out of the game; it was still there if you went through any of the old doors.

From the wiki:

The Paragon Dance Party (PDP) was created in an early issue. Its release to the live servers was supposedly an accident but was kept due to fan request. The zone was replaced by Pocket D and no longer has any zone connections. The warehouse "skin" used to created PDP is also still in game. It is used in the third mission given to Natural origin heroes who start in Atlas Park, "Speak with Detective Brogan about the Skulls' attack".  With the revamp of Atlas Park in Issue 21 and the disabling of the old contacts, new characters do not have the chance to encounter this mission;  only characters who had the mission in their mission list have access to it, effectively removing it from the game.

The "official" reason given

  it was moved due to being close to the south Paragon City Monorail station, which made the PDP too useful as a travel shortcut).

 

To which I say, define "too useful." rFYv2e1c_o.gif

The are items that are 'Clickable' throughout the University but they are just Fun notes and not badges. ( Tv, Copier, Microscope, Cabinet in lab, Table about Gum and Boogers on 3rd floor) are a few that I came across. Now if you are new to invention and need the "Inventor" badge, then you will go through the tutorial and there are items and Faculty Contacts that you will click on to get that badge.

 

I would love to be wrong and get another badge though. 🙂

So, I recently noticed, in the second-to-last mission (I think) of the ITF, the one where you fight over a bridge and then pass through the arches of a large wall, in the base of the wall there are doors. I did not know those doors are working and they take you to the top of the wall where there are a bunch more Romans. I learned that the exciting way the other day.

I also learned this as of recent.  Did you know that there is also a console on that tower that you can click on to disable all the turrets?  It’s something that most ITF teams rarely need to click on but it’s good to know for a team that may have troubles.

Yes! I discovered that on that same kill-all, since we were going all over to find things to kill, I noticed the glowie. Just to think, all that time on Live, we were just taking unnecessary fire.
