Yeah, the whole northern section of PO is mostly unused. I think the ongoing training arc sends you up there to talk to Dollface once, that's about it. It would be nice to see a new contact that covers the same level range as the Radio that has you go up there.

On one hand, I agree that villain zone geo is generally fine. And more/better content is a better use of resources
On the other hand, I think Oakes would be more interesting if the northern side was made clean/shiny/sunny to contrast the run down south.
On the third hand, such a change would be wasted if there was still little to no content in that area and the existing Oakes content is already more than enough to outlevel it (7-12).


So, my suggestion:
Move Atlas mayhem and level 5-10 newspapers to Mercy. Add an arc in Mercy that introduces the whole broker/mayhem system and gives players one Atlas mayhem for "free" as part of the arc.
Change level range of Oakes to 10-20. Existing contacts should work fine as 10-14 and for 15-20 add new arcs that take place in the northern side of zone. Main themes would be Family, with perhaps some Council. Could also drop hints for the revamped IP content which has 20+ Family.
Bonus points: new level 10-15 SF in Port Oakes.

This would make better use of existing zone assets, provide alternate leveling path at 15-20, count as a redside zone revamp (for equality) and link in to new/revamped Family stories on blueside.


Of course if a PO revamp is in i24 then this suggestion comes too late as stories and levels are already set.


I do not suffer from altitis, I enjoy every character of it.

Embarassing question: is the Space Piracy hat the same one leaked a while back as the tricorner hat? I'm sad to say that I'm not sure.

If it isn't, will that wonderful tricorner hat ever be sold/seen/given away/used for anything at all?

Captain Harlock is a good example from the wayback machine.

I loved the footage of the costumes from the stream. I don't have any ideas or plans to use them as a whole (maybe bits) but they are epic.

Because Posi was frighteed by a clown as an infant and he says so LOL I saw the pictures of the new set and while I have no desire to have a peg leg or hook hand the costumes looked pretty nice.. I'd wear that!

Allow me to clarify I'd wear that in game not to the mall

Well, i expect that there will be at least one featured item in the market for the week of USA's Independence Day, July 4th, and a tricorner hat would be appropriate. Probably a return/sale price of the fireworks emotes as well.

Clicking on the linked image above will take you off the City of Heroes site. However, the guides will be linked back here.

Just watched this.

The captions were... interesting.

Also, the belt has a part that blows in the breeze! Awesome! So, when are we getting Sybil outfits?

Whereas I'd kung-fu fight an entire army of dudes wearing stupid rubber masks & making weird sounds to the death for a Sentai or Toku-inspired costume set in this game.

Just to be "that guy" They also have pretty much the exact same amount of "Pirate" going on

and that's significantly less pirate than the actual costume set.
