Bring back Doctor Creed!

Look, I can understand why the intro contacts were updated. New content and all that. Haven't had a chance to run most of it yet but it aside from the tedium of open-world respawn farming it looks like some interesting stuff. I can even understand and appreciate why the old blueside intro contacts aren't in Ouro -- most of them are duller than dull and interchangeable anyway.

But the absence of Doctor Creed is one step too damn far. Weird Science was one of my favorite arcs in the game; truly nothing gave me greater joy in this game than running around making Infected get blowed up with anti-serum, then enacting SCIENCE! revenge on Doctor Geist. (After completing his first mission I would continue to do circuits around the mission building using the anti-serum on Infected until it ran out.)

PLEASE bring these arcs back in Ouro. Bluesiders will complain of course (they always do; they don't understand that evil will always win because good is dumb), and I guess you could make a token gesture and bring some of the old blueside contacts back. As I recall there was actually quite a bit of overlap, you could probably just bring back one or two of them. New shiny is nice, but please don't continue to outright remove old content. Use Ouro, that's why it exists.

Keep the blueside story arcs dead. They were just awful.

However, the redside story arcs deserve at least a place in Ouroboros. So bring those back, yes.

Okay apparently I had been under the mistaken impression that lowbie blueside originally had short arcs like redside did, but I see that's not the case, and the badge missions do still appear to be in Ouro. So yeah, screw blueside.

You can flashback Dr. Creed's arc. It was there in the list while I was getting the new redside badges today.


Issue 16 made me feel like this.

redside did not lose ANY arcs, they are all flashbackable

only the really low hero arcs were removed because they were not true story arcs

Clearly I have the power to will things into reality retroactively.

You'd better believe I'm gonna use this power for evil.
