Threat Zones not cureently used

Would it be possible to use future issues to add some arcs to some of the various threat zones that are, at present neglected.

Boomtown, Dark Astoria and Perez Park are obvious examples of this as people go there when they must, but they are primarily used for farming.
They are good zones, each with a unique look. it seems a shame that there is nothing to do there. There are probably other zones like this and it would be good to see them turned into vital exciting places to go. Faultline and the Hollows are an example of this.
Also, if it is possible, they could be made joint co-op zones, like Rikti and Cimerora, allowing Villains a few more mission options.
Just a thought, but I hope you can do something with these zones as it seems a pity they are under used.

I wholeheartedly agree with this, Dark Astoria is one of my favorite zones because the look and feel of it is awesome. There are really only a couple random mishs there and a GM but that's about it. We need some TF's and arcs there to get things going in them.

I'll /sign this, although I'll do it without the "other post-watershed fluids" if it's all the same to you

But a massive NO to Co-op zones!
Co-op ONLY makes sense in places like the Rikti Warzone. Us vs Rikti, thats simple to understand. Cimerora jsut about gets away with it, but only just. What justification would there be for Perez, Boomtown or Astoria?

Its Heroes VS Villains, not Heroes, Anti-Heroes and people-who-think-they-look-good-in-black-but-don't

Well considering what is under Boomtown, and considering LR's relationship with the Council and 5th column I could imagine him wanting villains in there... for one reason or another.

Makes the I15 TFs somewhat redundant then afaik (not played to avoid spoilers)

Good response so far. Thanks

I think Boomtown might get some attention when the 5th Column are finally put back into the game as a normal faction rather than one you only meet on TFs.
Perez Park could get a Hollows style tweaking, with a hospital, trainer, contact with repeatable mission, more variety of mobs and so on.
The Shadow Shard zones might get fixed if they're,linked to the "Coming Storm".
Dark Astoria just needs some love from anywhere

Well its only the woods that really need razing...

((And thats with the map pack!))

Personally what i'd like to see is something like boomtown made into a hollows style area, loads of missions, arcs and tadbits but have pvp enablbed. I enjoy pvp but theres NO zones that combine PVE + PVP (RPvP) enough. Yea the pvp zones have some "story" to them and a thing to do but they don't encourage missioning in them nor any real reason other than to pvp.

I think it might make pvp more popular if people see a reward in an area that gives them a chance to get a feel for pvp while still being able to enjoy some story/gain xp.

Anyway something at all with these zones would be great the little things that count

No, they don't. The woods are lovely, dark and deep and I wish there were more zones like it... lush woods, forests and jungles with plenty of holes a rabbit could dodge into.

And the occasional sabre-toothed tiger or squirrel. And friggin fez wearing dinosaurs with laser beam eyes.

Hopefully there will be more 'stuff' with the 'Hazard# zones.

As it stands, the Hollows doesn't feel too much like a hazard zone anymore but that might just be due to the amount of time I've played.

Turning these zones (Boomtown, DA, Perez) into 'regular' ones could work.

I think, after the Hollows refit, that Perez is pretty much redundant now and coupled with the fact that it's easier to get from 1-20, it needs more than just a simple overhaul. I'd quite like to see it merged with Galaxy, if that were possible.

Lots of ideas, I love it when I spark debate. Keep it up guys.

Now we just need a GM r two to wade into the conversation
