Pandora's Box Episode 4 is live


Agent White

Just as a general heads up as I don't think the info has really been put out properly.

The latest signature story arc has gone live. Apparently parts 4 and 5 are in the game but are just on timers, so episode 4 went live not too long ago and episode 5 will go live sometime around the end of next month.

it's not much, but still nice that we'll get the wrap up of this story before the end.

For the curious, the contact is James Harvan, both in Atlas and Sharkhead Isle but it's showing up in the SSA Contact list now too. Oh and it's still VIP only, so, sorry to the folks that aren't locked in as that.

Oh, is this SA only 5 parts? I don't mean that "only" in a disappointed/derogatory sense, hehe, I just didn't realize that 5 was intended to be the finale. That's cool, if so!

Yep, "only" five episodes.



(The 1 of 5 on the loading screens wasn't a giveaway? )

Hahaha... You know, after I posted that I suddenly realized that each part was likely labeled as such...
So, I have to out myself as someone who has not yet played any of SA2!

Honestly, I kind of enjoy getting them all and playing them as quickly as I feel like, instead of waiting...
Yes, I am a comic trade paperback kinda guy!

(That's actually why I was so pleased to just learn that 5 was the finale and so we would be getting the whole thing!)

No, no, the situation entirely required razzing!
I just have a note from my platypus that explained everything.

Well... ok, after I get Total Dependent to 50, I'll run the SSA2 arcs. EK, you're not alone in the "not run them yet".

Heck, I don't even know what they're *about* yet, I'd avoided them on purpose... waiting for them to be done in one fell swoop. And now I can. YAY.

SSA #2 is actually pretty good, so if you haven't played it on beta yet please do so now while the servers are still live.

It's really an amazing story and I have enjoyed reading and doing.

Nope, Episode 4 is on both beta and live now.


It is better to ask forgiveness than permission.

Thanks for posting this Agent White - I had been putting off running the SSA on beta because I'm still leveling alts on live. I'm looking forward to episode 5 next month (hopefully).

Yeah it's on both. They've been on beta for quite a while now but apparently they were published and set to a timer on live so they're there but there's no way to access them without the timers. Episode 4's just clicked on so next month episode 5 will click on. Or you can just go hit up beta and get both right now I think.

Any chance somebody could Demorecord a quick run-thru, and post it on Youtube for us not lucky enough to be VIP? This would actually be great for all of the SSAs.

OH! Much cooler. Rather play it Live. Awesome.

What's interesting is tonight, *I* was able to access episode 5 on beta (I am NOT VIP), but my two VIP friends were NOT. Anyone else encounter this...?

If you go to beta, everyone has access there. You can buy the stories in the store for 0 points on beta.

And it's worth doing. I've played 1-4, but not 5 yet.
