Zortel to Paragon Studios: Where's the Tree? Seriously, in Paragon at least, there's no: Christmas Trees Christmas Lights Christmas Outdoor Decorations. *snip* PS: Here's a screenshot manipulation that a friend, Fanservice, did of Galaxy City. It's not got lights, but it has got snow, and IMO it looks right lush.  |
I agree that IS gorgeous!, nicely done Fanservice!, thanks Zortel.
I've been asking (for absolute donkey's years) for seasonal patches to be implemented throughout the year - enviromental 'hints' of seasons would add so much to a game that has chosen thus far (for the most part) not to break out of city zones too far geographically from Paragon City.
The other MMO has Christmas snow flurries and presents, and a tree and a jolly fat Santa, piles of presents, a (zone boss encounter) psychotic Jester behind all the mischief (much like our omni-vacant Trickster) and his 50-foot rampaging robot teddy event battle.
Most importantly it has something which the devs still refuse to implement because of worries that are proved unfounded by their inclusion in other MMOs without incident - NPC Children.
I've come to the inclusion over the years and after reading many suggestion threads on seasonal weather that ( with regards to the topics of seasonal patches and NPC children) the devs are just not interested.

It's just decoration.
