Antonio Nash v2.0
Nope, none of the old Atlas (or Galaxy) missions are available via Ouro...
... because they sucked
But good news that the contacts are being re-used rather than forgotten. Maybe the City Rep will get an update too at some point.

I liked them.
I like the new ones better though.

GG, I would tell you that "I am killing you with my mind", but I couldn't find an emoticon to properly express my sentiment.

Also hoping someday the rest of these important officials in the FBSA get an update. Especially Azuria and the City Rep.

I still vastly prefer the old arcs over the new ones, for the simple reason of volume. I make a lot of lowbie characters, and running through Matthew Habshy's verbose arc that expects me to care about what's going on for the umpteenth time just isn't gonna' happen. Sure, the old missions might not have been great, but they served to introduce various enemy groups, and there were five of them. Plus, even with the running around for plaques, they weren't as padded. I HATE street hunts, and the new arcs are pretty much 90% that.

Hunts only become bad when you are required to defeat a ridiculous number of enemies in locations where they hardly spawn. (I'm looking at you, Carnies! Who the heck thought it was a good idea to have to hunt down so many Carnies in a location where they spawn in ony 2 places, and usually with other groups?)

Or at least I presume it was. That kind of stuff was all the rage when he was in charge. We haven't seen any more of it since Posi and now War Witch have taken over.

I only dislike street hunts when they become actual hunts. The ones in the intro arcs don't really qualify... Here you get sent to locations where the enemies you need to defeat are the only ones around. There's no effort in these 'hunts' at all.
|
And besides, sending me to a location across town to defeat all of three enemies is just wasting my time in travel.

The 'original' missions of the 5 origins contact could very easily be summed up into a new Kings Row arc, hoping that KR is indeed the next revamp on the list, since it would be logical to rebuild the legacy 'arcs' from 1 to 50 in order.
All of the original Atlas Park/Galaxy missions and almost all of the KR missions were one-offs and not arcs. It would be relatively easy to pull out the basic gist of those missions, excluding the sweepers and fedexes, into one, good Kings Row zone-arc. A basic get-to-know-your-factions arc helping the PPD put out 'fires.'
And that Kings Row arc could incorporate the AP and KR Safeguards.

Obviously Twinshot is the tutorial arc (which pops up when you don't really need one anymore), but it's the same with Habashy; you end up with a lot of dialogue that's just nothing like you and you don't have a choice.

Having an arc that introduces us to at least some of them, like the Vahzilok, the Lost, the 5th Column and so forth, would be a great boon. The game has been losing a lot of its "mystery" over the years as writers forget how some lore pieces were supposed to be secrets revealed later in the levels. We've lost a lot of our mysteries and really gained very little, since there seems to be precious little behind most of the new factions introduced.

"Weak" is not the same as "stupid" or "young," and making the assumption that it is is a mistake.

Looks like Antonio Nash, the guy who handed out missions to up and coming mutants in AP, got an upgrade in appearance. Also, he's gonna give out episode 2 of Pandora's Box. No idea if he's still the contact of the old mutant starter missions in Ouro, though.
