Moon Hazard Zone

With the new Incarnate abilities starting to rear their heads, this would be the perfect place for 50s to go. I would say that now, more than ever, this is something that should seriously be looked at by the Devs. If they're going to allow us to start working to become Incarnates, what better place for us to really put those powers and abilities to use than on the moon? The way GA has described the zone, and all the thought, time, and energy he's put into it, with the varying levels of baddies, up to 54-ish, it's almost tailor made for Incarnates.

I am still a bit curious as to where the departure point would be though. Would you get a teleport power, similar to what is used to get to Ouroboros or Pocket D, or would there be a portal, similar to what is used to get to the Shard? You could have an arc like Doc Delilah's where at the completion of it, you gain something like the "Entrusted With the Secret" badge and power. The arc would be geared towards 50s, obviously, but wouldn't necessarily require Incarnate powers to complete. Nor would the zone need them, but they would definitely be helpful when it comes to fighting the higher level baddies, just like the new Apex and Tin Mage TFs.

Just my two cents to this thread.

I believe there were originally plans for launch sites of some sort in Steel Canyon and Port Oakes.

Well a new year is upon us, and yes this is my blatant New Years Moon Zone thread bump.

Happy New Year everyone. Remember you can do anything you set your mind to. So reach for the stars.

Make that reach for the Moon. It seems more appropriate for this thread.

The words the workers used to say hinted at that. I am not sure any longer as I couldn't find one worker in the area last time I was there.

There's actually a plaque or badge there in Steel Canyon that says something about people being ridiculous enough to speculate that it's a rocket launching pad.

I haven't seen the plaque but if it's there then it was put there after the devs changed their minds on adding the launch pads.

[QUOTE=Shadestorm;3301456]From PMs with Golden _Ace, who suggested I post this:

As much as I LOVE PvP zones, and wish there were more, PvP is in a really messed up state at the moment. I'd be happy with a new style competitive PvE zone. No direct PvP, but zone based buff/debuff mechanics, and perhaps temp powers to spawn ambushes at the opposing faction if you see them.

You Just closely described Siren's Call.

While considering how to go about getting the ability to breathe water for a Cimeroran-time Atlantis zone it dawned on me that crafting would be the way to do it. Certain missions give you specific salvage to craft the scientific or magical (you choose) device that allows you to breathe water. That being said I wrote the Moon Zone way back before crafting was available and while I’ve updated it several times over the years since then it never dawned on me to revisit the travel power suppression. I now realize that crafting would be the ideal way to go about getting the “special artifact” needed to counter the travel power suppression effect. When you first come to the moon, you get a new slot opened up, similar to the incarnate powers that allows only one item to be slotted, the special artifact or “Moon Stone” allowing you the return of your travel powers.

It's been 5 years since the introduction of this idea. I've even introduced similar concepts myself in other posts. Do you really think they'll ever do anything with this?

Six years actually.... first suggestion got wiped. I re-posted this for a poll they were having...

At this time? No. It's been 5 years since a Moon Zone won the new zone poll they had and nothing happened. So I doubt anything ever will happen at this point.

In the next Issue (21), we will be featuring an entire new zone with lots of things to do, both solo and in a group. We aren't abandoning the independent spirit many of our players have. The zone will not only have new story arcs and contacts, but a very unique zone event that significantly links it to the greater storyline of the world.

*whistles*


I can hope can't I?

You aren't the only one hoping my friend. *fingers crossed*

I am cheering for this too!

August 31, 2012. A Day that will Live in Infamy. Or Information. Possibly Influence. Well, Inf, anyway. Thank you, Paragon Studios, for what you did, and the enjoyment and camaraderie you brought.
This is houtex, aka Mike, signing off the forums. G'night all. - 10/26/2012
Well... perhaps I was premature about that whole 'signing off' thing... - 11-9-2012

Unfortunately, houtex, our hope was dashed once Issue 21 was announced. The new zone that is coming is called First Ward, and you can read about what it is here.

Alas, we return to blind faith that one day we will be able to venture into outer space.

However, Anti-Matter has a space station orbiting Praetorian Earth...

Who said space was for Primals?

Let's hope future stuff includes a Moon Zone or something similar.

I want not only a moon zone, but also this:

A fully explorable space station would be incredibly cool - like a city in space.

Awesome space station Hercules.



Would love one of those as well.

Give us our moon zone so we can defend our world!
Sooner than that, I'd wager.

Yes and no. The Moon Zone is the zone that won the players choice poll the devs put out asking what zone we wanted to see next several years ago. (2005?)

This helps remind them that we haven't forgotten about it and still want it.
