Missed Opportunity....
With them deleting all instances of Sister Psyche, that happened before she was killed off, like her TF, doesn't this mean she and Manticore never got married?

CoH time is just a massive cluster f**k. I'm not gonna try making sense of it any more.
And yeah, Steel, I was incredibly disappointed there was no community event. With all the little CCs and crap they do, you'd think Zwill could've popped on and at least did a moment of remembrance thing in Atlas Park.
It is a darn cool idea and one I might have supported 100% prior to the revelations made by Z about how they work on and release things etc...
At this point there is just "no way" I could support this "wonderful idea" as it would invariably push something desired back three and a half months or more to put resources on it. Paragon is a small crew and they need to concentrate on releasing the backlog of stuff just recently revealed.
Something awful turned out to be informative and shared information is good.
The development team and this community deserved better than this from NC Soft. Best wishes on your search.
Remember the wedding of Manticore and Sister Psyche? It was an event that took place during the Spring Fling. If you wanted you could have your character attend it and actually bear witness to the wedding itself, including the vows, emotes and the eventual Arachnos attack...

I also remember /em slap-ing Statesman.
Goodbye may seem forever
Farewell is like the end
But in my heart's the memory
And there you'll always be

Which brings up another question: are they just going to scrap SSA#1 since States and Psyche (and Malaise and Miss Liberty) will only be known to old players?

Nope. States and Psyche are not getting the 5th Column treatment. Most of their old arcs will still be available in Ouroboros if the other (relatively) recent revamps are anything to go by.
Dr. Todt's theme.

They had several instances of it so if you weren't able to make one of them you could always pop into one of the others.
It was a one-off... it's not like we can slip into Ouroboros and re-live the event now... but... it was fun. It was a great way by which we the players could be PART of the events in Paragon history.
I would have loved (would STILL love if the Devs can swing it) to have had the same opportunity with Statesman and Sister Psyche's funerals. Not just a few art pieces of the casket(s) being carried or someone grieving, but a full-blown community gathering in an instanced map where a ceremony was performed and some words were spoken.
Statesman's death was a major Paragon story-line event and it should have been given a bit more attention. I would have loved to have seen Lord Recluse attend, not as an attacker, but simply to pay his respects to a fallen, but still much respected, enemy... perhaps even said a few words. Maybe Manticore could have popped in to angrily point out that Statesman wasn't the ONLY hero who fell and confront Countess Crey demanding Darrin Wade.
I would like to offer the Dev team the suggestion that one-off events like the M&SP wedding would be GREAT additions to the calendar. They would tie in perfectly with the beginning or end of Signature Story Arcs. If you want a marketing reason for including them then host them solely on Exalted as a VIP perk.
Just a thought.
My mind wanders so often you've probably seen its picture on milk cartons. - Me... the first person version of the third person Steelclaw
