Peacemoon Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 (edited) Just completed this story arc for the first time yesterday and really loved it. The narrative is good, and I love the fact you can get an alignment point for the decisions you make! It was really cool going in through the roof rather than through the front door 😁 Finally the hints, sounds, music, ambushes and general gameplay elements (like the virus debuff) were all great. Actually one of the best arcs in game, superior to a lot of the stuff that was on live. You forget that this is a Homecoming arc. Edited November 10, 2021 by Peacemoon 4 4 Retired, October 2022.

Snarky Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 (edited) HC Teams work is incredibly wonderful. While not cranking out content at the rate of a full time paid Dev team I cannot say enough about how incredible the QUALITY of what they do is. The content they add is so wonderful, well thought out, and beautifully executed. Their game balance decisions are remarkably sensible. whoever they are....these masked supers deserve all of our gratitude.

Peacemoon Posted November 10, 2021 Author Share Posted November 10, 2021 1 hour ago, The_Warpact said: What is this? A new story arc that takes place after the events of the positron TF. The basic premise of the story is “What happens to the Vahzilok after Dr Vahzilok gets arrested?” It is really well done. Perhaps slightly overwritten in parts, but if you like a good narrative and interesting missions, then this a great one to do. Enjoy! 1 1 Retired, October 2022.

Peacemoon Posted November 10, 2021 Author Share Posted November 10, 2021 I changed the thread title to specially announce this is a Homecoming story arc, in case others don’t know! Another thing I loved about the narrative - it has a more grounded/scientific story, which is nice because there is a lot of magic story arcs in the game now, so that was really nice! 3 Retired, October 2022.

Dona Eis Requiem Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 Agreed. It's quite enjoyable. I love how some of the Freaks look even more like the demented mannequins a friend of mine used to create. (Man the 80's were fun) Spent so much time TFing on my latest toon that now would be a good time to Ouro the good stuff I missed along the way. Thanks for the timely reminder.

In case you missed it, they also introduced a red side arc at the same time with Doc Buzzsaw as the contact. 2 Originally on Infinity.

The Chairman Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 @The_Warpact, If you do both, do The Graveyard Shift first. The Redside arc is a continuation of the story. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sakai Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 (edited) Really enjoyed the hero one so went to talk to Buzzsaw and going to do the bad guy thing. I get the impression that this takes place sometime before Posi as Dr Vahz is making threats. Is he not still locked up? Is that accurate?

dtjunkie Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 Nope. The bad guy arc takes place after the events of the hero arc and after Posi 2. So Dr. Vahz is locked up in Brickstown. As good as the hero arc is, I think the villain arc is even better. There are some great fight sequences and I absolutely love how your previous actions in the game influence how some of the story plays out.

Although you might want to make sure you are doing the right story arc. Buzzsaw gives some earlier arcs that do take place before the events of the Graveyard Shift and Posi 2.

The_Warpact Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 Thread looks better, glad I asked a question. 😉 I posted about my positive experiences with the graveyard shift story arc not long ago, thanking the devs and talking about how good it was, but no one replied to join in the discussion, other than @Snarky (somewhat ironically given his name!!). 2 1 https://www.twitch.tv/boomie373 The Revenants twitch channel, come watch us face plant, talk smack, and attempt to be world class villains.

I get the impression that this takes place sometime before Posi as Dr Vahz is making threats. Is he not still locked up? Is that accurate? It definitely takes place after Posi. The Vahhilok are in disarray and looking for leadership. Also: Spoiler You actually break into the Zig in one mission and run into Dr. Vahzilok (who is in a cell). Originally on Infinity.

Sakai Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 Yeah I see that now. Was thrown off by BuzzSaw's opening blurb. Thanks all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
