Sin_Stalker Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 So I was attempting to create a villain I had on the old servers. He was a Warshade powerset but was supposed to be a Nictus. Well I guess I forgot that PB and WS have to start out as heroes and I am wonder if one of two things could occur. 1. It would be nice to remove these restrictions so I can just play as a warshade villain / Nictus from the getgo. or 2. Make a auto villain PB and WS. Call them PeaceEnders, a defected or corrupted/brainwashed Peacebringer, and Nictus, a non-defected Warshade. With both PB and WS's abilities tweaked in minor ways to give them a slightly different feel. I'd imagine number 1 is the easiest, but number 2 is probably an easy way to bring in another power set since it isn't coming in from scratch. Either way, thank you for possibly considering either way. -Sin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont you need to be a minimum level to change alignment? Also, where in pocket D? Can't seem to find the answer on Paragonwiki.

As Fraulein mentioned, only tip mishes require you to be level 20. And I'll assume you ended up finding him? Answer wouldn't be on Paragonwiki since he's special to Homecoming.

Darmian Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 I'm going to mention a lovely little AE arc, id 36583, called "Kheldian Uprising."

(I keep planning stuff in AE. I want a nictus "cloud" as a contact. Not available.) Playing on my other villain, Planterror, at level 13 I have just been introduced to the contact "Dr. Shelly Percey" and the first mission "Find the Nictus" is about stealing a Nictus from the Council. Just putting it out there that perhaps a Nictus mission could be the other side of the same mission, where you have to try and protect the Nictus from being napped. Also, related, trying to establish and maintain a relationship with Arachnos (and other groups) while dealing with Dr. Aeon's attempts at stealing/dissecting Nicti (Nictuses?). Other than this, I don't think I've seen any mention of Nictus so far. 😕 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cimerora/ITF, obviously (which... would make for some interesting Nictus storylines,) but aside from that, there's the Portal corp missions to War Wolf Earth (which is Requiem "winning," the War Wolves being the result,) a tip or morality mission to stop a Nictus shadow seed carrier, Moonfire, of course...

Was hoping there would be more but it went off on Midas. Pointing these out makes me excited for Nictus perspective missions. Stealing equipment to build a teleporter and the initial attacks on the past in Cimerora. Maybe some missions kidnapping archeologists or finding relics which give the Council reason for focusing on that time frame in the past (lore building). Maybe a small anti-Ouroboros cabal, fighting against their timeline maintenance. The entire red side Nictus stuff easily can start small with attacking PB and WSs, persuade people that the Jedi are evil and get them to join the Sith --- I mean the Kheldians are evil and hosts for the Nictus. And build right into the counterpart to the endgame stuff in Cimerora. Ugh, I am all excited for this. I may just need to start playing with AE again after a decade.

Darmian Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 I'm going to poke the author of the above mentioned AE arc (Arc id 36583) to look at this! I'm only getting to grips with having a War Shade (lvl 27) as I never played them (or PB) on Live. Just working my way through the story.
