Did you know - Interesting things in Paragon

[Troo]

Many will already know that clicking on specific PEDESTRIANS who's name starts with a specific letter can result in different response:

 

E: Real-world time, based on server location

F: In-game time, as in Paragon City/Rogue Isles/Praetoria

G: Total number of players in zone. Will respond with "There you are! There's never a hero/villain around when you need one!" if you're the only person in the zone.

H: "Isn't ____ just the best?" [name of a player in the zone]

M: "You've spent ___ hours on patrol/on the prowl." [total playtime in hours on your current character]

N: "You've gone on patrol/on the prowl ___ times." [number of times you've logged in as your current character]

O: "You've been on patrol/on the prowl for ___ minutes today." [minutes logged in for current session] This seems to reset upon exiting a mission.

The Matrix Room - A massive circular blue room with a beam in the middle and lines of text scrolling along the walls towards the beam.

 

Access: Classified

Rumor: 

St. Martial in the docks area on the left side of the map - there is sometimes a Longbow Ballista just sitting there all by himself. If you engage, 10 or so hidden longbow spec ops will all jump you (it's a trap!)

AE Buildings are notable in that the interior really is inside the exterior. Hence, you can look through the glass doors.

Completely pointless, but the four Shadow Shard zones don't actually have boundaries, but rather are boxed in by teleport volumes. In Firebase Zulu, The Chantry, and Storm Palace, the teleport volumes making up the "walls" aren't flush with the "ceiling" volumes, so if you find exactly the vertical coordinates that the ceiling teleport volume is at, you can hover slightly below it and then fly completely horizontally (look straight down and hold jump) to get past the teleport volumes that make up the walls. There is nothing beyond the boundaries of the Shadow Shard zones, just endless emptiness (and a solid floor). In Cascade Archipelago, the volumes are flush with the ceiling so you can't escape that way.

Praetoria: Hamidon tentacles appearing may be linked to killing police.

If you escape the geometry of Pocket D, there are two Rikti motherships and a floating gas station out there. Also a Tardis.

Used to be classified; now you can get access to it easily via the arena in Peregrine Island.

nice 😎

And some are just...odd?

 

[Scarlet Shocker]

There are some great "hidden places" in both Paragon City and the Rogue Isles (less certain about Praetoria) 

 

A couple of my favourites are the Hangman's Tree and also the poor bugger in the latrine in Grandville who's in some serious discomfort. One sympathises!

Well, it's not a secret spot, but depending on whatever, usually on Fridays you can see Marauder or Dominatrix or Anti-Matter going clubbing in Studio 55.

Yep.  This can be useful.

Praetoria has many interesting not-so-secret spots.

 

Loyalist Lounge in Nova Praetoria features “functional” glass windows, allowing anyone inside to see supers flying by. Sadly, the idea doesn’t pan out due to Nova Praetoria’s low population.

 

Credit to Darmian for sharing this tidbit with me. I didn’t realize it, even though I ran through that place dozens of times.

I always head there right after a Posi 2 and make sure to let the team know so they can also get that particular badge.

 

As well I thought there is a Red Tardis in Night Ward?

There's a blue Tardis surrounded by Weeping Angels in the RWZ, as well as one on top of Pocket D, from what I understand.
