She's a shy girl and her boyfriend is very jealous so she simply doesn't like to give it out. 
Anyway.. agreed but somehow I doubt it will change. Interesting though you do the Percy arc on Croatoa for the "Origins of Power" badge and after 1 talk to mission he gives you his number. She won't give up her's even after completing two different mission arcs.

For the love of the gods, yes!
/signed, a hundred times over.
Edit -> and considering that she's a public servant, you'd think that she'd be listed in the phone book anyways.

If I were the City Representative for Paragon City, I'd have my information suppressed.
Not for this. Travel is easy ever since i10 and i11, no need for phone any more since you can use your super powers and time travel to be there in no time. Cellphones are for civilians.
It is kind of like this...
Tie it to a badge: Lobbyist.
My scrapper doesn't need an AoE. She IS an AoE.
Considering the ease with which one can get to Atlas Park I don't see a need for this.
Like a poster said above an O portal can get you there.
While it's true Villains get a phone number for this they are also pretty much cut off from the front area of Mercy once they leave the zone.
I always considered it a symbolic gesture to talk to the city rep personally after protecting the time capsule. Getting my cape is kinda like a ceremony; who would want a ceremony done over cellphone?
But I do understand the logic and QoL involved in this idea.
I'm all for it. If I want my cape handed out to me in person, I can still walk even if there's the phone option.
867-5309
Wanted: Origin centric story arcs.
If you've only played an AT once (one set combo) and "hate" it - don't give up. Roll a different combo. It may just be those sets not clicking for you.

[/ QUOTE ]I can? You mean my level 21 tanker could have used an O-portal to get back to AP after completing the cape mission?

[color=yellow]Uhm ya I thought to O Portal was a lvl 25+ thing? 
So how's someone H side supposted to get to the rep That way if they are trying to get their cape ASAP?
Confusion is Lord & Chaos is my Best Friend!! Shall I introduce you??
MArc# 5232 Bastet's Unleashing *a Solo-able arc*
Gae'Atha- lvl 50 Emp/Ele/Psi Def
Sekmet's Fel Blood- lvl 50 Rad/Ther/GW Corr
Travel is too easy. Period. You have...
<ul type="square">[*]Sprint[*]Travel Powers (Super Speed, Teleport, Super Jump, Fly)[*]Mission Teleporters[*]Base Teleporters[*]O-Portals used as a travel hub[*]Pocket D Teleporter[*]Pocket D - Used as a travel hub[*]Using Ouroboros to start an arc then teleport to contact[*]Rikti War Zone - Use as a travel hub[*]Wentworths/Black Market Teleporters[*]Temp Travels (Raptor Packs, Zero-G Packs, Temp teleport)[*]Purchasable Jetpack for $5 a month[*]You can use Self Destruct as a makeshift Base Teleporter - No debt required[*]Green Line[*]Yellow Line[*]Ferries[*]Coalition Bases if you don't have teleport beacons, if you don't have coalitions, try getting one...[*]Might be something I missed... *insert here*[/list]
And now you want a cell phone for a contact in Atlas Park? Which itself is one of the easiest zones to get to? I'd rather get Hami's number so that I can call him up and tell him to spawn in The Hive.
True Oro is 25+
but what zones might you end up in after completing the mission?
Someone mentioned Steel (Which goes to AP directly, or tram and your by City hall) Perez Park (which links to AP directly) any others? Is it so hard to travel one zone?

I was thinking the City Official day job badge myself.
Check out the Repeat Offenders network of SGs! You'll be glad you did.
When you're lagging like I was the other night? Yes.
Also bear in mind that this is a major QoL suggestion for people on the more crowded servers who may wish to avoid the "load everyone standing under Atlas' crotch" lag you get on Virtue or Freedom.

[/ QUOTE ]And which of your suggestions for "fast travel" skips the "Load 100 PCs at once because you're within draw distance of Atlas' crotch lag" part? None.

Actually, I would prefer it be done a little differently.
I would make it so that when you first enter Atlas Park she becomes a contact. I would give her a single messenger mission to deliver a message to Miss Liberty or perhaps Back Alley Brawler. This would unlock the Call button for her and then she would send us back to our regular contact. She would then become an Inactive contact until level 20 and 30 when (like on villainside) she would appear in our Active tab with the Cape or Aura mission ready to go.

Which still does nothing for people with poor load times...Or the people who take a full minute to move two feet when Atlas is packed.
Pretty simple, really, have the City Representative who gives the cape and aura missions give you her number when you accept the Cape mission. I know I find it somewhat annoying to, after I've gone through the series of Talk-tos, including the one with Justin Greene in the [censored]-end of IP, have to go back to the city rep to unlock my capes. Especially since the cape mission is usually for me 200 yards from the Steel Canyon tailor. And then we don't even have it for the aura mission, so after you get done sweeping Crey's Folly, you have to hike back to AP again, rather than just heading to IP and setting up your new costume.
