What will you miss from Galaxy City?

What will I miss..firstly I will misss my Candy Cane gathering loop.

I had a little loop when I ran for Candy Canes. It did not encompass all of Galaxy, just a small fraction, but I loved it.

Second, I will miss the park. It is beautiful and well done...good Embalmed Vaz hunting to be had there too.

Oh well, there will be other Candy Cane loops to be found, and Perez Park and a certain place in Boomtown is still standing to hunt the explody type of Vaz.

And I am looking forward to the new Tutorial

I do think though that the Galaxy Girl statue should be hauled to Atlas Park...I don''t want her to be forgotten.

Lisa-Very excited for Freedom..is it Late Summer/Autumn yet?

Atlas Park has fans?

In any case, why would anyone bother keeping the old, non-enhanced version of Atlas? You have a career in marketing ahead of you if you can really pitch the preservation of an old zone without any graphical enhancements as a feature that will make the "fans" of the newly remodeled zones jealous over their lack of preserved nostalgia.

((Original content deleted because it became a personal message to another forumite, who was not the one posting directly above me in this thread.))

And, yes, I'm sure that Atlas Park actually does have some people who are attached to it but I never hear about them. The number one reason I hear for going to Atlas Park is "It's where everyone else is!"

I think that some people may feel that they are "required" to do all of the training missions on all of their alts, just as they were "required" to defeat 100 Contaminated on each of their new toons to get the "Isolator" badge on them.

Since that is strictly a self-imposed "requirement", I don't really see a problem with it.

Just an update from the UStream today - the echo zone in Ouroboros will not have any of the old Galaxy City mission content in it - the contacts will all be removed form it.

This is an update from the beta - in the later part of the new 1-19 content, Galaxy City is described as undergoing rebuilding, and there's also a mission map that uses a mix of the old zone map, along with the new ruins from the tutorial.

These screenshots have been taken from angles that hide what's going on in the actual mission:











So while the destruction looks pretty catastrophic, some parts of the old zone seem to have survived:











So it looks like the devs might be planning to repurpose the zone into something for to be used at a higher level - possibly even a co-op zone.
There's almost a bit of a Bloody Bay set up forming there - there's a devestated urban area with Shivans still lurking near their meteorites, as well as an Arachnos and Longbow presence - and if you throw in a rescontruction effort like in Faultline, plus the huge amount of items that must have been lost from the M.A.G.I. vault that both Heroes and Villains would want to get hold of, and there's a lot of story potential for a semi-ruined/half-rebuilt Galaxy City co-op zone.

Maybe a good ground for more of this phasing tech they use these days.

We'll see.
