A little more post-20 Praetorian content please (and maybe some pre-20 Praetorian content)

I've got (so far) three trilogies of Praetorian material in the form of AEs set between levels 19 and 25 (Crusader, Warden and Power) with some shading into the events of the Praetorian War.  Details in my signature.  They're all designed to be as close to canon as possible.

 

I'd write more set from 25 up if we had ANY maps for First Ward and Night Ward. We don't.

 

I've notes on a final pre War trilogy for Loyalist Responsibility and that will arrive...whenever! 

 

I do plan on playing through your Praetorian AE arcs. I enjoyed the Bridge mission arc (I'm sorry, I forget the name, it's before the Cassini Division...)

The only danger in that is the XP would push you past many of the contacts so perhaps the levels of the zones should be raised if this is implemented.

 

I think this would be done by people not caring to do the goldside stories again though, just like people running DFB aren't looking to do the City Hall contact arcs.

Bridge of Forever.   No worries on names!  Thanks for playing!

What if they have converted to Primals?

They aren't converts, they're refugees. They're still inherently Praetorian. Arrest them.....hard.

Since a few ideas for TFs have been thrown out there, I'll submit mine for consideration. 

 

First Ward TF so it's co-op for all.

 

The Palatine Task Force, unlocked after you help Anna become the Palatine. 

 

Would start off fight off a slaver raid on Eltentown, featuring that incredibly underused group the Dregs. Unlocks a clue about Anna's past (a story which is left unresolved as you move on through First Ward).

 

Go through a series of missions in zone uncovering clues for a big reveal(?).

 

Possible cameos include Katie Douglas and Noble Savage.

 

Would be fun to have some (non-posessed) DUST named characters as AVs along with obligatory Hamidon AVs in the final mission. 

 

End result is knowing more about the Palatine and setting conditions for the escape of the Eltentowners during the dying of Praetoria. 

 

Probably set for 20-29 since a lot of the First Ward mobs groups are locked to that range... but it would be nice to have it a little higher to help with the 30-45 slump.

If wishes were horses, I would have dearly liked to have seen the level 40+ Neo Tokyo cyberpunk zone Paragon Studios wanted to end Praetoria with.  Alas.

Okay, my question is: How? Playing solo and not using double xp, I have to be careful that I don't outlevel First Ward before finishing the content. I'm not saying you don't have that happen, but I truly want to know how.

 

I was at +1 difficulty and double XP and I recall I wasn't out leveling the content, but it's been awhile.  I however wasn't afraid to turn off the XP.

YES ALL THE YES,
for all i care they can use some heavy moded version of a preexisting zone which already exists.
Grandvile migh work, replace the propaganda on the screens with advertisement, plaster the zone with even more advertisements and neo signs then a couple additional buildings copy pasted over from the other Praetorian zones and and i would be happy, its not what we would have gotten on live but its good enough for something people could put together in there freetime without pay.
doubt that will ever happen but people can hope and wish

I don't get it. I don't run at higher than default difficulty until I get higher level and I never use xp boosts, but I routinely find myself turning off xp to make sure I don't outlevel First Ward.

Dunno what to tell you, I did all of First Ward, went to Night Ward, did the intro stuff and then got told to come back at 30. I'd just hit 28 at that time. 🤷‍♂️
