Very Dumb Question: Reaching the Hollows?


Ad Astra

 

Posted

Hi Guys,

I know I should be able to figure this out on my own but I just can't seem to figure out exactly how to reach the hollows? (And I'm pretty sure I'm *the* only person to lame out this bad as google/forums searches bring up nothing).

Is it a train stop I'm just not seeing? Is there an exit point to it on a certain map?

BTW: Is it possible that because i have a trial account there's areas I can't go to?

Any help appreciated --thanks!

The Hallows is a red dot off of Atlas.

The hollows are located threw atlas park bring up your map and on both ends should be a red dot the hollows is one perez park is the other. You have to be level 5 to get because its a hazard zone.

I don't think any question coming from a new player is "dumb" We were all new at one point, and not everything is as obvious to one person as it is to another.

You can get to the Hollows by pulling up your map, press "m" on your keyboard. Your character will show up as a green arrow, that's "where you are" in Atlas. Look around the perimeter of the zone to find a red circle that identifies the Hollows. If you click your mouse on this red circle and close the map, you will have a yellow target point you can follow.

Welcome to the Game!

The Hollows is a Hazard Zone, and therefore has a level restriction. You must be at least level 5 to enter.

To get to the Hollows, first be in either Atlas Park, or Skyway City. There is a red dot on the map (which is a Hazard Zone entrance) on the right, or east side. Go to the gate, and click on one of the policeman. Try clicking on the lower part of their riot shields, and they should let you in.

I'm guessing you've been directed there by a mission to talk to Officer Wincott. Officer Wincott is also a contact, so you can get missions from him as well. Or you can do the missions from your other contacts.

Another interesting thing to do at level 5, is head to King's Row, get your police scanner from the detective, run a few police scanner missions, then get and complete the safeguard mission for a temporary jetpack.

Also, for future reference in getting around, the 'City' tab on the Map will show the zones of the city, and the connections between the zones ( gates and yellow / green line train routes ).

Positron said on Twitter Issue 16 should go live by the end of the month. That's only 17 more days, even if it's the very last day of the month.

And considering the lack of game-breaking bugs on the Test Server and the fact that they've given a warning to use any Freespecs you have in anticipation of the one they'll give with Issue 16, I don't see why it couldn't go live this week.

So, potentially this week or, at the latest, within 17 days. Yeah, I think "just a few more days" is an accurate statement.

That would be great, I've got a couple of good characters planned already.

I totally agree with this comment, and I always leave a web page window up behind CoX in case I need to look something up - and ironically enough, I had to look up how to get to The Hollows last night. I recently rolled two new characters and the last characters I have that were in the Hollows (ages ago) are now levels 48 and 50.

THat kinda thing happens enough they should turn the exits into plaques and have the "plaque text" read "This is the exit"
