It seems to be full of people <constantly> complaining that they cant farm the AE anymore.

Do your DP in Galaxy, you will have more fun.

They can - just not quite as easily as before

I never saw the point in farming it... It doesn't drop purples.

Atlas is one of the best zones in the game, and one of the few with a high enough concentration of players to create a sense of community.

I made the Atlas Wentworth's my default marketeering HQ just for the people watching.

They complain in broadcast, so I just remove it from the main tab.

Atlas is my default zone too - it has the best chance of finding new players who need help

People don't usually farm AE for stuff, they farm it for levels. And you can't get purples no matter where you farm when you're level 5.

You can if the mission holder is generating level 47+ enemies.

I mostly take some tutorial missions in the AE between levels 5 and 7. It gives enough xp and tickets which I trade for salvage which I sell so at level 7 I have a few 100k. Especially handy if I need stuff like wings or boots.

And I prefer Atlas to Galaxy, mostly for the look and that I can find my way there without looking at the map

Hell, they're complaining that a reduction in the degree of efficiency of one method of farming means they can't do it anymore?

Procedural question: can I say "laughably stupid" without getting banned?

I've tried starting in Galaxy a couple times and I just can't stand it. The zone feels so cut-off from the rest of the game. I suppose it's not any more cut-off than Atlas, it just feels kinda vacant (probably because there's no reason to go there if you start in Atlas, and most people start in Atlas). Atlas may have a lot of stupidity in it, but it still kinda feels like home despite that. Galaxy feels like I've been sent away to boarding school.

awww and here I was thinking it was going to be a post along the lines of...

"there's the sound of gunshots everywhere, avoid Atlas, it sounds like a warzone!"

How would that work, exactly?

Tear down one of the war walls and combine into one IP-sized map?

i'll have to dig up one of my city maps and see how much terrain they'd have to add between the two to make it work.

Actually, the two zones are on opposite sides of Perez, so that hurdle probably should be crossed first.

I mean retcon them into one zone

Put the Galaxy Girl statue behind the City Hall, and the Freedom Corps HQ would either be made into an underground place under City Hall, or put close beside it, possibly in the car park between City Hall and the station.
Make the whole zone slightly larger, and fil u+out the extra bits with any unique buildings from either zone.
