Welcome to the game, Radubadu
If you need any in-game help, you can contact me on my global chat handle @Golden Girl - I'm around most evenings. -

Seems like we are testing this on live servers.....wussup with that?

I like the new event. Some thoughts:
Do we know the population cap for each instance? It's really annoying to have 3 or so full teams enter at once only to be one of the few people booted to instance 2. -

Except, that wouldn't make sense, as the port surrounds TV.

Quote:Merge it with Terra Volta - the northern part of IP would be sealed off, and filled with the reactor and other TV buildings, making the zone a split one, like Faultline is split by the dam.Originally Posted by IanTheM1
The problem isn't with the Cape Mission string. The problem is that Justin Greene doesn't need to be 1.5 miles away from either the Kings Row or Steel Canyon gate. (And on the whole, Indy Port needs a refurbish.)

Quote:2 new ones is fineOriginally Posted by Robo_Knight
So does this mean we could get more new badges? Because this event is severely lacking on new badges. :/
Don't forget, for new players, there's a lot of winter event badges to get

Quote:Maybe the devs will give us some GR info before the holidays start and they all disappear?Originally Posted by White Hot Flash
In reading through this thread, it's pretty apparant we're suffering from a lack of concrete information about GR. I think it's about time to get some more info from the Devs.

Horse Puckey.
Revamped Zone =/= same old Zone.

Quote:Just as long as that feature is included on mission mapsOriginally Posted by Balorn
I want to see the blue caves with ambient occlusion turned on. Should make them a lot easier to navigate.

Quote:I think she actually mentions Rikti in her briefing, so maybe they have removed the Lost from it.Originally Posted by Tymers_Realm
Ran it on a Lvl 35 Scrapp I have and loved it. Now this'll make me wonder if we have Rikti in the 20-25 Range or Lost or the two new missions?

Quote:I think they'd only use them if they rolled back the patch - which they'd only do if there was a serious bug in it - and as there doesn't seem to be any reports of serious bugs, I'm like 99% sure you'll keep the badgesOriginally Posted by Ynaught
I was lucky enough to get a team to defeat Lord Winter and someone asked a valid question about the badges earned through this sneak peek.
Will the badges earned during this sneak peek remain, or will players need to re-earn them once the winter event officially goes live?
At the time my answer was "of course we'll keep them". After thinking on it for a few minutes though, I began to think the badges could be taken away, not unlike the AE badge gutting not too long ago. The only difference is we can re-earn these.
So yeah, will they stay or will we need to rerun this?

Quote:And City of Villains was called that because it had Villains in it - that didn't stop me from getting it and not making a VillainOriginally Posted by Thunderspark
Am I the only one who thinks those who buy Going Rogue and don't have at least 1 character switch sides is rather missing the point? It's called 'Going Rogue' because you can go rogue.
CoV gave me the chance to beat up new enemies in the PvP zones, and GR will give me the chance to beat up new enemies in Praetoria

Quote:Darrin Wade might have something to say about thatOriginally Posted by Jonny_B
Shadow Shard for villains, it's not gonna happen.

Quote:Which contact gives that arc? I've not heard of it, so I'll guess it's a CoV oneOriginally Posted by Teeth
So one of those two is the one from the "Time Bandits" arc, or there's still one that's not on this thread?

Quote:Not quite the same - when the GR stuff came out early, they just announced it on the forum - this winter event needed the pop up window tooOriginally Posted by Scarlet Shocker
That managed to do it when their PR compandy dropped the GR bollock!

Quote:It uses one of the City Hall corridors from the BTF:Originally Posted by Scythus
Huh? Did they just change it? I did a cape mission yesterday and it was the same time capsule mission it's always been.
And the same room with the capsule from the BTF...
...but with no 5th Column portal this time
The guardian spirit of the capsule also appears - although I don't think he looks spirit-ish enough

Quote:I edited the list, to include the two Villain-only letetrs as well - I sometimes forget that Villains even existOriginally Posted by IanTheM1
And one shows up in the Time Bandits arc, too. >_>

Apart from the Praetorian Hamidon, I think that's the only hint we've had about an active Praetorian version of one our villains or villain groups.
So far, we've been told or had hinted to us that:
Recluse was killed, and never became Recluse - with no mention of what happend to Arachnos if he never took them over.
Nemesis "died as a happy old man".
The Rikti never attacked the Praetorian dimension.
The Clockwork King doesn't seem to have made any impact in the world, as the Clockwork weren't created by him.
But we've still not heard anything about the 5th Column/Council in Praetoria - like was there a split between them in the Praetorian timeline? Or did they even survive Tyrant's rise to power?
If there's a Praetorian Requiem still alive, then I'm guessing there's some link with the Nictus there too. -
Quote:So they accidentally wrote out the detailed text about the preview and accidentally created then pop up window for it too?Originally Posted by Suspicious_Pkg
Sneak Preview: Dev Speak for "Oops this accidentally went live with today's patch."

Quote:Maybe he survived, and snuck into the memorial every so often to slip an updated letter into the capsule?Originally Posted by Dispari
That's a pretty funny point.
Maybe he didn't do it to be helpful, but to be a jerk and show off just before he died. He didn't have anything else to say. Maybe he just wanted to go out with "SEE? I RULED AT THIS!"
-
The mention of the Praetorian Requiem is interesting, as it seems to hint that he's alive and important in some way.

Quote:They are nowOriginally Posted by DumpleBerry
No.
They are on the wiki, but not all on the same page.
Quote:"Hello, <character name>. Please forgive the impersonal form of communication. I do not yet trust you for an in-person meeting; this was the only way that I could be sure you would still receive this message. Time travel does unpredictable things to electronics, magic and bionetics; otherwise, I would have chosen a more contemporary method. Obviously, we both know that you have begun time traveling. This may be new to you, but for me and mine it is well documented.
Ouroboros has made its presence known to your city, likely espousing some rhetoric regarding a 'rapture' or an 'apocalypse' or some other vague, well-crafted phrase from Mender Silos. I am writing to tell you not to trust him or his Menders. They claim to 'fix' the time stream to avoid a cataclysmic event in the future, but do not believe them. You may not believe me yet, that is fine, prudent in fact, but let me ask you this: if there is truly an event of this nature on the horizon, why did they not take you there? Are you not one of the chosen keepers of the secret? Have you stopped to ask what secret they are really guarding?
I warn you: do not openly question Ouroboros. That would be foolish. I simply ask that you search for more of my letters and seek me in the pillar. When the time is right, I will make myself known. You will either be at my side, tearing down the enclave or you will be buried under its ruins as it falls into the sea.
The choice is yours."Quote:"Once again, it is rewarding to know that you are reading this antiquated form of communication. Have you rescued Candy's twin sister yet? Not to worry, you will find Candy, Jimmy and even Cyrus very soon. But the busy work of Twilight's Son holds no interest for me.
I write to you because I believe that you have the ability to see beyond the smoke and mirrors placed around you. Silos talks of a coming conflict, but with whom? Has he told you or is he protecting his precious causality curve? I would like you to believe that Mender Silos is sending you back in time to change events in his favor, no one else's, but, that is something you may have to learn for yourself. Think on this, who benefits from these 'mends' that you do? Is it the people who are deemed unworthy to know the truth of what will happen to their race or is it someone else?
Before I go, I wish to reveal to you an ugly truth regarding Twilight's Son. He is, in fact, the last of his race, but that is because he sold the rest of his kind into slavery. Whether for his own gain or to escape their wrath, I do not know. Unfortunately for him, when the slave masters burned through the Kheldians, they came after him once more and he fled into the past. Perhaps he made yet another bargain with the masters, trading all the Kheldians of the past for his own survival.
Again, be cautious of those you speak to about this; the Menders are aware of my existence, but not my time or location and they would not take kindly to you associating with me. All I ask of you now is to do your duty, pursue the truth and look for more of my letters.
Travel well."Quote:"<Character name>, did you even think that you were the one responsible for defeating the 5th Column? When I first learned this, I was equally surprised. I never believed that you had the conviction to see it through, given the moral ambiguities. I underestimated you then, something I've made a point to never do again.
I feel that you should know the truth behind Lazarus if you plan to continue working for him. Mender Lazarus is a lunatic, driven completely mad not by his extensive time traveling (as they would have you believe), but because of his "research" into temporal alterations. He meddles with time in ways that others wouldn't even consider. He has a shared temporal consciousness with his other selves throughout the time stream. He has even "volunteered" versions of himself to send off into the abyss to see what lies beyond. I wonder if he has eyes into the afterlife itself. The goggles that Silos made for Lazarus do more than hide the creatures from beyond time, they may well block visions from beyond the veil.
This is a dangerous group you ally yourself with, <character name>. Be wary. Be wise. Be willing to act.
Look for my letters and travel well."Quote:"Again, I apologize for my inability to meet with you in person. You may find these clandestine letters frustrating, but it is the safest way for both of us to communicate until we are ready to act. Silos and Ouroboros are dangerous beyond measure and while I have asked you to be vigilant regarding their intentions, I still do not know which side will you choose.
On the topic of Mender Silos, I will say only this:
He is a silver-tongued serpent in a garden full of innocents with an orchad of apples at his disposal. Do not trust him; he will have you cast out. Do not raise a hand to him; he will strike you down before you can react. Play your part in their garden and claim your innocence, but keep your eyes open to the truth.
<Character name>. I pray you have found my letters and you have taken them to heart. It is my hope that you remain quiet and patiently await the appropiate moment to strike. If you have not found my other letters, please search for them. Hopefully, they will reveal the truth behind Ouroboros and guide you towards my path.
Ultimately, the choice will be yours.
As always, look for me in the Pillar. I will make myself known when the time is right."EDIT: Here are the two Villain-only letters as well:Quote:"Did you think I wouldn't find you? You were sly, using an Aspect of the Pillar that wasn't linked to Ouroboros. Did you ever stop to think where Montague may have acquired that crystal? Or how?
I apologize. This letter was not meant for harsh words or recriminations. I merely meant to remind you that I can find you...anytime, anyplace, anywhere. That is all.
Who am I? I know you have been asking yourself that question for a time now. Am I Requiem? Am I Silos? Am I...you, perhaps? You may even be asking yourself which one of those people I am. Have you ever met Praetorian Earth Requiem? He doesn't go by that name, of course, in case you were wondering. Have you, perchance, met the shadow version of yourself? What about the version of Mender Silos from Faathim's reality?
It is a paradox.
Try not to think about it.
But again, my train of thought wanders. I'm writing you to tell you that, as surprising as it might sound, Mender Silos and his time traveling cohorts are actually succeeding in delaying the coming storm. Note, I didn't say preventing. There is still hope.
Because of their actions, and likely yours as well, it may be sometime before I can truly extend my hand to you in kinship. There is other work in other places for us to do. As much as I enjoy these letters, I'm sure you will understand that we have more pressing matters to attend. So, for now, I bid you farewell.
As always, look for me in the crystal."
Quote:"I have posed many questions for you in many other times, <character name>, but perhaps the most important one is this, 'who is Mender Silos?' He claims to be from a future so far in time that his own science would make it impossible. He claims that humanity has been wiped out, but doesn't say who did it. He claims that he is here to help, but who is he really helping? You, of all people, should be able to detect a ruse when you see one.
I know that you are currently working for Mender Tesseract. Of all the Menders, I believe her to be the most honest in her ways. If not for Silos' agenda and the dreaded Temporal Scaling, I believe she would have enslaved your time and ruled as empress. Silos claims that she is 'reformed' from her upbringing, but I do not believe it. Her kind was bred to rule, to conquer, to consume. There is no 'high road' along that path. Tesseract is a nightmare given form, a monster with a pretty smile. Pray you never meet her in her own time.
Don't allow yourself to be fooled, but don't let yourself be discovered either. Play their game for now; learn everything you can about these Menders. It will aid you later. For now, look for my other letters, <character name>.
I shall see you in the pillar when the time is right."Quote:"While you have not yet met me face to face, I hope you've grown to see the truth in my words and begun to question your Ouroboros masters. You, of all people, should not be bound by their constraints. They have come all across the cosmos, disregarding the laws of nature, but yet they bind you to the events they control. Have you noticed how rarely they send you into the future? What secrets do they guard there that they don't want you to learn?
Mender Silos gives you no choice. It is only I that offer you that simple right. All I ask in return is that you question him, question Ouroboros, question everything - even me. I expect nothing less from you. You are an individual of intellect who will see through their lies and once you do, you will find me at the end of it, offering you the truth you deserve. It is then and only then that we shall truly meet for the first time.
Until that time, I trust that you have found my letters and have taken them to heart. Ultimately, the choice will be yours. As always, look for me in the Pillar. I will make myself known when the time is right.
Travel well." -

D'oh, and agreed, on both counts.
The patch notes don't reflect this, but Chroma mentioned:
I'm thinking not, but doe anyone want to check? -
Quote:What's very good is that now you get see what Hero 1 looks like, plus get to read his own thoughts in his letter quite a while before you get to run the LGTF, so it's going to add to the experience for new players doing it for the first time.Originally Posted by Jake_Summers
What a great little update to an old dated mission.
Great job dev's -
Some feedback on the new mision, as there doesn't seem to be a thread for today's patch
I think Hero 1's guardian spirit should have the effects used on the Shadow Shard Reflections, to make him look more spirit-ish.
Also, the City Rep says that the memorial is just down the hall from her - but I got a mission door at an office building in the Promenade district instead.
