Tutorial - add Paragon Protectors!

So we have Longbow AND Arachnos fighting off the Shivans in the tutorial. Where's the Crey-sponsored supergroup Paragon Protectors to help aid in the fight? Background lore repeatedly suggests they have a public front as a superhero group, but in the game itself, we pretty much only see them harassing civilians or guarding Crey stuff or something. Heck, they even have the word "Paragon" in their names, and Paragon is used in tons of stuff these days, like the Paragon shop, the Paragon points...

So for the purposes of the tutorial (and for Atlas, Kings, and Steel), could we have level-restricted-by-zone Paragon Protectors actually fighting crime, even if we already know they turn out to be evil when we get to Brickstown? It would mesh better with the lore of the Paragon Protectors.

I really like this idea also.

I agree.

I'd also like to see Hero Corp actually doing something one of these days...

Anything to make Crey actually seem like good guys in the eyes of the public, please. The lore treats them like the good guys up front but an evil, greedy corporation behind the scenes, yet we always see them as evil as Arachnos or Nemesis or any other group that is obviously villainous.

I like this idea. You should probably PM it to War Witch and Positron.

I'd be behind this: It makes sense.

Of course Crey are old news (!) - the current 'new shiny is the only way' philosophy might preclude PPs and more of a build up to 'Hey, suddenly Crey are acting all suspicious, let's go beat em up and suffer the slings of an outrageous lawsuit' might be the sort of thing that would be written as an update in the future.

If there's ever an update to the Manticore TF, the Revenant Hero Project arc, Black Scorpion's arc, and the countless other arcs featuring everyone's favourite Evil Conglomerate, then I will do the happy dance.

Even if we could see the PPs fighting Shivans in the background (Mortal Kombat Bridge over The Pit-style) but weren't able to right-click and read all about 'em, I think that would be a neat touch.

^ Agreed

I really hope some of the old junky content gets revamped somewhere down the line to make the mechanics catch up with the lore.

Crey should be used as allies in lower level missions, have contacts even. Heck, use the phasing tech in a later mission to have you go back and ARREST your old Crey contact (or beat them to a pulp if you have Vigilante leanings)

Hells, make Crey con neutral on the streets. That would add much more immersion AND be lore accurate too.

I like this idea! This whole thread is great.

I agree with the Hero Corps suggestion too; at the very least, the Galaxy City rep should be somewhere in the tutorial (http://wiki.cohtitan.com/wiki/File:F...yst_Galaxy.jpg)

Gargoyle Seal of Approval.

Just made that up, but there it is.

I always wanted to see a Paragon Protector or two acting out the charade they're supposed to be part of. This is a completely fantastic idea. Implement it, please.
