Retaking Galaxy City


Cake

The devs have introduced a somewhat limited version of "phasing" technology, where the world subtly changes as you progress through a series of missions. Not sure if the WoW team introduced the concept, but they did a fairly good job with it as you progress through the Death Knight missions - the gameworld changes there were more than subtle however.

It would be nice if the CoH dev team would introduce a series of arcs ( for level 50s ) that would allow you to take back GC from the Shivans.
As you do so, gradual changes would occur to the zone. ( i.e. Meteors could be destroyed, perhaps more destruction mid-arc as you fight the bad guys, reconstruction of buildings, etc. )

It would have to be an instance (or series of them,) as GC is no longer an accessible "zone" - it's just part of the tutorial.

Yep, it would have to be separate from the tutorial version.
But I would like it to be a fully accessible zone... not just an instance. Maybe the intervening versions of the zone could be instanced and full access to the zone be given to those who complete all the arcs.

It really should be an incarnate zone with full use of level shifts etc. Been saying this for awhile tons of fun to be had. But I guess you'd want to give villains other choices there because other than taking out potentially earth shattering shivan men that could or could not ruin the villains plan for world domination. They have no reason to help in galaxy city. So sabotage and other forms of terrorism for villains to do would be a good thing or bad thing for them to do rather

Yeah, some expansion to what Recluse is claiming to be up to "something". The context of his comments in the comic strip don't seem to amount to much, his troops on the ground in the first section look like they're just helping Longbow.

I'm thinking the rogue isles should have to deal with their own invasion - there's been too much overlap of content lately.

I agree, the Rogue Isles need something more than the Longbow invasion of Mercy, but then, Red Side has a severe shortage of zones. . .

(Sorry for the late reply, just got forum access back)

Yeah the tutorial version isn't suitable for anything other than the tutorial. This youtube video shows why:

Some of the info given from contacts or random npcs on redside seems to indicate that Lord Recluse used the chaos of the battle to take control of Galaxy City and perhaps will be repairing it as a redside city.

this forum talk has me thinking that a real fun way to do it would be to make GC accessible as a lvl 50 zone similar to the PVP zones we have now but with no PVP . the point would be for both sides to do missions that change the different parts of galaxy in the same manor as Lord Recluses Victory zone.

If this was to happen, I don't know if they will do it anytime soon. The Shivan are going to attack Paragon city. We've all seen the future. It's bound to happen. I think the devs are gonna do a FULL scale invasion sooner or later. With all the stress tests lately just makes me think that's what's gonna happen. Like in the old days where the DEVS invaded Rogue Islands. Maybe Paragon will be attacked like that and the DEVS will take control of the heroes once again.

I'm not sure but I'd like to see your idea come up as well.
