So I'm back to playing again for the first time since the passing of a dear friend of mine who was an avid player of CoX. (Glowing Embers, a fire/radiation controller was their main. Victory was their live server and Indomitable was their home here.) With that out of the way, onto the questions. 

 

Boomtown. When did they start rebuilding it? I was through there and there's constuction near the entrance. Are they planning a full revamp ala Faultline or is this just going to be a little bit here and a little bit there as the relevant devs get time to update things?

 

Now onto Atlas, when did Atlas start getting seasonal changes? (I love Atlas's giant pumpkin. And that's despite/because of I was dialing my late friend before I realized what I was doing) Is it just the halloween event that gets the changes? Are there any plans to take it to other zones?

 

Finally, I have a gameplay question. Is it possible to do Shivan runs in the middle of a Flashback arc? I recall doing them a time or two on regular TFs, but those oroboros badges generally take longer than I have/had the time and attention span to tackle all at once. 

 

Thanks in advance for any answers you can give!

Wilkommen!  
 

They are not rebuilding Boom.  
 

Seasonal Atlas been around for years 

 

No idea about Shivans.  There are so many temps available.  I use the P2W vendor temps in kill alls at low level.

I don't believe you can do a different mission whilst in a FB mish. I think they are considered the same way as Task Forces, so you're effectively locked into that task. 

 

Best thing to do is get your Shivans before you lock in

A Shivan run isn't a mission.  Whatever it's classified as it can be done while in a Flashback or tf.  

 

Source: me, I'm doing it now.

 

I'll gladly stand corrected but I think you have to get the contact mission to collect the meteor samples so it looks and feels like a mission even if it actually isn't

 

But good to know! 🙂

just my understanding

 

the front area of boom was redone several chapters after HC launched  for everyone. there was some code i believe for Boom to start being rebuilt and the end result is what you see when you enter the zone, whether they have further plans for a faultline redo is unknown at this time

 

Atlas as others have said had season changes as late as sundown and was boosted in HC when it came back later chapters of HC expanded on this with the atlas pumpkin and tot patch near by as well as the upcoming winter ice rinks and frozen lakes etc

 

welcome back to the city and well see you out there

Not added by Homecoming, but iirc, the Council base was added issue 24, so only shown on beta before shutdown.

So technically, it did happen post-live, but I think any server running off the SCORE code will have those changes.

Some story arcs, construction areas in various zones.

 

I played quite a bit on the beta server just before shutdown, so my memory gets confused easily with some of the live/beta/HC stuff.  Really wish we had a easy navigable way of looking thru patch notes for certain changes.

the council base was 24 yeah thats my understanding as well

 

the renno though I think was in planning and beta before sundown as you said but we never got to see it until Post HC, was supposed to be a fairly comprehensive redo of the zone ala faultline and a jump for the story
