From there, head to the tram and go to Ouro, Get the badge and voila! :) If you need base access, hit me up, and you can use mine. Bloody brilliant! I will have to add that beacon to the base. No more "can someone drop an oro portal beneath Atlas?" for me. Thanks for that tip! 😀 1 Sky-Hawke: Rad/WP Brute Alts galore. So...soooo many alts.

Referring to the original way where you had to stay close to your "mentor" to keep your level boost? Pretty sure it was changed to the current system well before Live shut down. It was already using the current system when I started playing, which was Issue 16 (a few weeks before Issue 17). Edit: Huh, cross-referencing my e-mails and the Issue release dates on Paragon Wiki, apparently I joined two days *after* Issue 17 hit? That doesn't sound right. I know I started in Issue 16, because Issue 17 was when they updated the game's sound engine, and I still miss the way the sounds would slowly fade when you exited a mission in Issue 16, as opposed to Issue 17 until now, where sounds fade out near-instantly once the loading screen appears. .... anyway, um... yeah, I don't miss anything about the game, now that I have it back.

PeregrineFalcon Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 The years of hoping that the devs would actually do something with bases. I especially loved the year that they hired a dev who announced that he was going to be doing some work on bases and then, a few months later, that dev quit Paragon Studios and the rest of the devs just didn't say anything hoping we wouldn't notice. 2 "It is by caffeine alone I set my mind in motion.

Being constantly offended doesn't mean you're right, it means you're too narcissistic to tolerate opinions different than your own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crowcus Pocus Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 Not being able to disable Speed Boost's buff to run speed. Truly annoying, especially during cave missions. (For those who are not aware, you can disable this feature by visiting a P2W vendor). 2 Warning: This post may contain an opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MetaVileTerror Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 . . . I may be one of the few who actually misses the old pick-and-choose aspect to Sidekicking/Malefactoring/etc. I mean, sure; the new method is plenty convenient, but there's something to be said about getting to tweak the team's level range composition to be juuuuuust right! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But when I play Gran Turismo, instead of using my breaks for turns, I use other cars to help slow me down so I don't run into the wall.

It's been awhile, and there is so much I've forgotten! I guess I never noticed it was gone on live because we all (in my sg) quit fiddling it almost immediately. I didn't miss it so much, I didn't even notice it was gone. Hehe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
