Since PI is an island, it's appropriate that they stuck with the Hawaii theme for Selnum's partner whose name followed the same pattern - McLord (McGarrett, the character's name in Hawaii 5-0 and the actor Jack Lord). Hah! Selnum, you're right, I remember him now. They even got his 'stache correct. It wouldn't be a Magnum parody without the 'stache. 1 Like the Costume Creator? Enjoy a challenge? Love to WIN?

tidge Posted December 12, 2019 Posted December 12, 2019 Here is something I'm ashamed to admit I suspected but never verified until recently: During Flashback missions, after selecting the mission you have the option to teleport to the contact via the Pillar. After doing a few low-level flashback arcs, I got lazy and verified that after the first mission in an arc I can open a portal to Ouroboros and still use a Pillar there to teleport back to the contact to get their telephone number. This is much faster than working back to the contact in many circumstances, especially at low levels or in zones where the first mission in the arc is >0.5 miles away from the contact. 3

If you use the Base Pillar, it does both. No need to use one pillar to start the flashback, and the other to TP to contact.

Here's my lazy admission... on most of my toons I keep a Cimerora mission active so I can use my mission porter power to get there since there is no direct teleport to that zone. 1 Active on Excelsior: Prismatic Monkey - Seismic / Martial Blaster, Shadow Dragon Monkey - Staff / Dark Brute, Murder Robot Monkey - Arachnos Night Widow

SarahTheM1 Posted January 4, 2020 Posted January 4, 2020 On the topic of PPD detectives, Miller and Fish are a double reference. While their names do happen to match up to characters from Barney Miller, their actual appearances are that of Matt Miller (Positron) and Sean Fish (Manticore). 4 2

Primal, Praetorian, Axis Earth? 😉 The line below is spoken by Lieutenant David Wincott (Primal Earth, The hollows) " Your first assignment, should you choose to accept it, is to hit the streets and put the hurt on the Outcasts " That line contains a reference to good old classic Mission: Impossible, which I failed to pick up on right away. 😄 Edited January 4, 2020 by Panthonca7034 Contributing to the topic
Display Name Posted January 24, 2020 Posted January 24, 2020 Well... This is my first MMO so I don't have "years" on it. But I've been playing several months, so here goes: When I first started playing, I was made (vaguely) aware of Dual and Team insp drops and that they were disabled by default. Since I didn't really know what an "insp" was at the time (but I knew what a "drop" was since I've played video games since Pong) I didn't pay much attention. Recently I decided that I was tired of my insp trays being clogged by small drops so I decided to turn them off. Imagine my surprise while doing this when I noticed that Dual and Team insp drops can be turned on for a mere 200K!?!?!? All of this occurs at the P2W agent, btw. 1 @Super Whatsit Superbase passcode (Excelsior) is "passcode-6475" It's all a Nemesis plot. But not everything is a Nemesis plot!

Sailboat Posted February 19, 2020 Posted February 19, 2020 Just last night realized you can bootstrap yourself into Ouroboros to get the "Trusted with the Secret" badge (and thus access to the Ouro teleport power) using your base pylon. Take the base pylon to Echo of Galaxy City Travel power to the train station in EoGC Pick "Ouroboros 15-50" off the train destination list. Get the badge atop the arch and now you can port to Ouro at will (although there's a cooldown). 2

The tunnel itself does not have any wondering/patrolling mobs, though you may run into bomb floating in the corridor on your way. As has been mentioned in upthread, there are usually 1 or more arachnoids milling about in the abandoned office. 1. Head to The Fab in Grandville, find the ramp near the flyer and make your way to the bottom. 2. At bottom of ramp is an open doorway, go through it and turn to the right and you will see the beginning of the tunnel. Follow the tunnel until your reach the corner in step 3. 3. Once you get to this corner on the map, pass through the gap between the two sets of piping and follow the narrow corridor to the left. While you're down here, I recommend exploring the rest of the underground tunnels towards Grandville. There are a lot of places to explore, but also more mobs. 1 Dislike certain sounds?
