Destroyed Galaxy City: Dead Arachnos Operative and Paragon Store references

[Aberrant]

Just a couple minor bugs I found while messing about in the tutorial.

 

Bug 1 - Dead Arachnos Operative fails to spawn

In the Destroyed Galaxy City tutorial, there is intended to be a Dead Arachnos Operative dialogue npc at coordinates: (202.5, -0.84375, 774.5) just before BABs and Sister Psyche; Similar to the Dead Warrior dialogue npc. However, the Dead Arachnos Operative doesn't show up correctly on loading in to the tutorial, and seems to require the tutorial having been run recently by another player, or back-tracking from later in the tutorial (I find hanging around just before leaving to the Giant Shivan crater for 1-2 mins then running back works well) but this can be inconsistent. I assume it fails to spawn when you are within a certain range of the NPC, and this includes the area where you spawn in, meaning it's unlikely for you to see it at all.

 

 

Talking to the Dead Arachnos Operative does not seem to unlock any other dialogue options down the line that I've noticed, unlike the Dead Warrior with Operative Kuzmin. His dialogue however references a character called 'Burnout', which I assume is an unused name for Cinderburn found in Matthew Habashy's last mission. So, in addition to making him spawn consistently (maybe moving him down the street near to Blue Spectrum would be an easy fix), his dialogue should probably be changed to mention Cinderburn instead to reflect this. 

 

Bug 2 - References to Paragon Store on Exit Doors

The Longbow Warden helicopter npc and Arachnos Flyer door, if interacted with before talking to BABs/Ghost Widow, still reference the now defunct Paragon Store which should probably be removed.

Huh. I never, ever noticed that spawn. Good catch.

Damn it now I have to run back and check for that guy the next time I do the tutorial!

 

(It does look like Galaxy "got the Atas Park remake" treatment before it was destroyed, when you compare it to the Echo version.  I can see one of those glass domed garden top buildings behind the statue of Galaxy Girl, and the Echo doesn't have one.)

If you want a closer look at those buildings, on the Beta server you can give a new character levels and level up at the trainer to get Hover and some other unrestricted travel-like powers such as Kinetics/Inertial Reduction and get over the invisible walls to explore around.

Oh I've done that 🙂  Found Officer Daniels too. And having done that it's one of the reasons I have for not wanting this map introduced to the AE.

Never even thought to suggest it! That map would need so many changes 😩
