Some of the newer arcs have been really amazing. I'd love it if they went through most, if not all content and redid it using the new tech.
Goodbye. Not to the game, but the players. Goodbye. Everyone, remember to have fun. That's all I can say.
Gods, please, Yes! /Signed! /InverseRanger!

Please streamline those old story arcs. They are painful to play through.
Also the rest of the Freedom Phalanx TFs, and the Shadow Shard TFs could do with some major reworking. I did a Sister Psyche last week and it was dull.
Current Published Arcs
#1 "Too Drunk to be Alcoholic" Arc #48942
#2 "To Slay Sleeping Dragons" Arc #111486
#3 "Stop Calling Me"
I think a lot of people would love quest clean up to be done.
I don't think the devs see a lot of value in fixing old, as opposed to making new, unfortunately.

Sadly. I know when talking to Positron last year on EU test during one Dev QnA, they seemed to think that New Shinies were better than revamps. Something along the lines of 'revamps taking as much time as new shinies'.|

Which totally ignores the fact that revamping something effectively makes it new and shiny again. The Posi TFs are complete overhauls of the old one, and are so, so much better for it.
Why should that not be extended to the other old content?

I'd like to see an either/or option for things like the intros to Wincott and Seer Marino, giving you the choice of whether you go and see them or continue with your existing contact. New players would click on Yes anyway, while veterans will already know if they feel like taking a particular alt through those missions.
In general, the original Blueside 1-40 content deserves a revamp. Not all at once of course, but even one zone at a time would be great - it would also encourage people to actually run that stuff, rather than using AE or solely speed running TFs to level up, and would be a way to revitalise a lot of the existing enemy groups purely through story arc design - no new art or enemy models required (though those would be cool too.)
Praetoria is a fantastic example of what we could have, and even Redside still holds up pretty good (if only there was more of it) but Blueside is just a heap of bland contacts with not very interesting missions and who all sound the same.

Unfortunately, I fear that, even if we can plead our case that it is time and past time for the Paragon City zones and stories to get a facelift, I doubt anything will come of it until the Incarnate system is completed. Maybe (big MAYBE) we'll get the hinted at update to Dark Astoria before then, but I wouldn't hold my breath for a major overhaul.

If we cant get a facelift for those arcs... A quick fix to have all the missions in arc in the same contact zone.
I never get an arc from those old ugly contacts. Those arcs are neverending.
The new arcs are awesone. We dont need to travel to other zones to speak with someone, usually 5-6 missions and nice xp and merits as rewards.

We have quests now?! I wasn't aware of this!!!
On a more serious note, all the 1-40 Blue side content is in dire need of a revision. Too many low level contacts offering the same missions, too many "Go hunt X", too many "Go talk to Y" and generally too much fluff & padding to some of the arcs. Especially the kind of fluff that makes you go to several zones for no other reason than said zones being there and not being used for anything else (I'm looking at you Galaxy, Boomtown, Dark Astoria, Crey's Folly, Eden, The Hive).
