Will You Miss Galaxy City?

I know I will. I really enjoyed the quieter alternative to Atlas Park but I'm sure not everyone felt the same.

If you knew sacrificing other pre-GR zones could get you new/merged/better zone content, which zones would yiu sacrifice?

Galaxy City will still be available via Ouroboros, but it won't have any mission content there - so it won't be gone completely, unlike the current Atlas Park

I would hope that Galaxy City, which I will definitely miss, is the only zone that's "sacrificed", i.e. changed beyond recognition with no regard to its traditional role. Mercy Island's revamp is a much better method to emulate in future.

The idea that the devs can "improve" the game by trashing its older content instead of refurbishing it needs to be headed off at the pass.

Yes. (See prior thread, slipped down a few pages, about "What will you miss about Galaxy City?")

See my Guides and Tutorials

As unpopular as I'm sure this statement will be, the truth is:

No, I will not miss Galaxy City.

Why? The only reason I ever went to Galaxy City is during the Winter Event to get my lower level alts to open Winter Event zone presents, otherwise, badge hunt for the zone exploration badges and plaques. I'd spend maybe 10 minutes max on Galaxy on any given character.

I'm sure there are many here who will have greater and fonder memories of the zone; for that, my heart goes out to you and the loss of Galaxy City. For me, it's an 'oh well for Galaxy City; so what's this new First Ward zone?'.

R.I.P., Galaxy City. I will not miss thee.

Galaxy City was the spiritual home of our SG, so yes, I will miss it dearly :/

That being said, it's understandable that the devs would want one primary zone for starting characters, to increase low-level concentration while removing mission doors. The improvements to Atlas Park are gorgeous, so in a way, it makes up for the destruction of Galaxy City.

My 2 inf.
PS: Also, if you want to see "old" Atlas Park, just head to Recluse's Victory, since that map hasn't been updated at all. Of course, you'll need it to be under hero control to reminisce

On thread topic response: I'd sacrifice Perez Park, often times I forget it's there.

Off topic: (I think) The Dev's have said they're revamping another zone, and its not one we've been asking for, so that more than likely eliminates Boomtown and Dark Astoria.

I'm thinking it's Talos or Independence Port.

No

I will not miss galaxy city. I will miss mercy island though. At least the way it used to be.

My very first character went to Atlas Park, every other alt has gone to Galaxy City.

Much less hastle than Atlas, I certainly will miss it.

Nope. Low level content goes by in the first hour of play, even solo without power leveling. I can't think of any good reason to miss it.

It's painfully obvious that Perez Park is completely obsolete under the revamped newbie experience. Considering that it's a hub between four different zones, I'd see Perez as the next zone to get a remake of some kind.

I will miss Galaxy City, but I feel it's sacrifice was not in vain.

The roleplayer in me feels really bad for Back Alley Brawler, though.

You know, speaking of remakes, I'd really like to see a tram station added in Fault. Due to its secluided location a lot of new players will miss out on a fun zone. I know people have mixed feeling about the place, but I personally love it. A tram will give the zone some much needed attention.

On some level it still strikes me as odd that they would basically "retire" an entire zone, but I understand the reasons for why it's being done. I never had much use for Galaxy City myself but at least they are keeping the old version in Ouroboros for those who want it.

I always liked Galaxy City. Picked it as my very first starting zone when I came to the game. Couldn't help myself. I was offered a chance to go see "Back Alley Brawler" or "Ms. Liberty", and I mean, really, with names like that, the choice was clear. So Galaxy became my first home. Liked the layout, always felt it was a lot more "scenic" than Atlas Park as well. But that said, I rarely go back there anymore for anything other than the occasional fedex mission, though when I do visit, I'm always reminded of how nice a zone it is.

So yeah, I'll likely miss it from time to time, though not in a major way. And at least if i suffer a major nostalgia bomb, there's always Ouroboros, which is more than Faultline got. I wonder if the "memory" will be fully functional? Like with BABs for training, Jack Wolfe, working arena, and all the rest?

Brings up a good question that might have been addressed elsewhere: did Jack Wolfe move to AP, or is there a new contact with whom we claim earned respecs?

The echo does not have any trainers or mission givers in it. Everyone who used to be in Galaxy has been relocated to Atlas, including Jack and BaB.

Can you at least do radio missions in it, or is it just like... there?

I was also wondering if it was a instance or a actual zone?

I will miss Galaxy City because it's just not worth slotting for accuracy to hit it!

What does the loss of Galaxy mean to the Atlas Medallion? How does one acquire the badges currently in Galaxy?

And how is Atlas changing? Guess I'll see tomorrow...
