In-game places that you wish would have names

[Techwright]

Point out some in-game places that you wished had specific names. 

 

I'll lead off by suggesting the 3 warehouse locations in Skyway where the Supertroll rave events occur should have names, especially the one where Babbage also shows up. While from an RP standpoint, it might be nice to have signs on the buildings giving a company name, I'd be fine with chat identifying them with something as bland as Troll Rave East, Troll Rave South, and Troll Rave West.   Rather than wait for another player to fumble around with the location system, just announce Babbage as near Troll Rave East, or TR East.   Thought about this tonight when a player announced Babbage as "near the South tram station" when it was really next to "Troll Rave East".  (Someone eventually put up the coordinates, but not before a handful of people had been milling around the station searching for Babbage in traditional locations.

 

In addition, the warehouse Babbage often appears at near the bend in the war wall could probably benefit from a name as well.

I sort of love this idea.  With a billboard or a name on a bldg.  

 

But i also realize a couple things. First, even if the spot had a name AND a marker on the map like a neighborhood marker, you will still need to post coordinates to be polite to new players.  
 

Second, every veteran thinks of these locations in different ways.  I never thought of them as troll east/south/west.  It is similar to the way we all know our cities.  People that use the train think of the city one way.  People that use different transportation think of the layout differently.  Our experience molds our map of the city. 
 

yes, this would bs cool though

I think the same barrier to this naming idea being useful is the same barrier to $loc being useful. A newer/inexperienced player isn't going to know either of these things. 

So, specifically with regards to troll raves, it could be against common sense story-wise, but the trolls could just have the rave at the same spot every time. Eventually, folks will know where this is. Anecdotally, it seems as if you believe the rave occurs at three distinct locations in Skyway. I just assumed they were random areas, though they often look like the same building, just in a different part of the city. 

As for Babbage, he doesn't spawn at only one point; he'll spawn in at least two, probably more. So, I'm not sure there's a way to mark "where Babbage spawns", unless our HC dev team decide to 1) have that specific mission not be so close to the train, and 2) have it be in the same spot so Babbage can spawn at that same spot.

There needs to be a few Gecko Insurance buildings around...and the only gas station I've seen is in the Lamba Sector of the Neutropolis slums...yet...cars are all over the place. (Probably why most are parked...outta gas or electrical charges. lol ) 

 

A few museums would be cool; Atlas could have the history one over near the Hollows gate; Steel could have a Science & Tech place; and Brick could have one dedicated to Crime & Crime fighting. :)
