Whats wrong with it comeing out in the next patch?  You wouldn't advertise a movie that is due out in 3 months, people would be bored of hearing about it.  It isn't like they started building this area (where ever it is going) just after xmas, they will have been planning this for ages making sure that they could do it, and not said anything until last minute as to build excitement.

What wrong with everyone, we have all wanted something huge like this for ages, now it happens and its "We cant be getting that so soon, it has to be comeing out in about 3 months time!" >_<

Unlimit Zombies? lol


Already had one of those in Halloween '06.

Hmm... Sleepwalkers with blue code eyes?


It would be really cool if the SleepWalkers came back.

 I would love killing them and getting my hands on those types of clothes.  Especially that Blue Bandana.

Looks really interesting and you just know a new "area" = new items to obtain, but besides that anywy a new area will be awesome. (Even if its an old area that never made live).
#36300392436 01/24/2008 01:33:02 Re:Image Retrieval - January 23, 2008

I think this might actually end up being the area north of Tabor, as this area has water near it. It has to be along the Aquaduct, and none of those other highlighted areas are even close to it. But if you open your atlas you'll see what appears to be a place north of Tabor that's darkened out. Tabor is not along the water according to the atlas.

Would be great to have this be a new district, even if it were just a section off the aquaduct.

Oh, the joy of tagging new hardlines -- maybe we'll be blessed with phone lines within/ontop of buildings in this area. Would be great to not see giant green hardlines in a power plant area, IMO.

What she said. I just don't see them rebalancing the combat system and adding in new abilities and trees to go along with the raised cap anytime soon. Though I bet the NPC's we'll see in these new areas will be around level 55 or so.
#36300392492 01/24/2008 04:43:38 Re:Image Retrieval - January 23, 2008

While i would welcome this new area, be it construct or district, i wouldnt be suprised if we didnt see it until nearer the anniversary time. 

Hopefully i am wrong and we get to see it long before then.

I just had a thought to (I'm still recovering SMILEY)

Whenever this area goes live, I hope those darned Agent spawns dont occur there, or better yet, have stopped all together!  I am not having my enjoyment of this ruined from those things.

I seem to recall them saying it couldn't be done, since the Ascension door isn't an actual ingame object, just a part of the monument's geometry. Then again, they've said that new areas weren't likely, so meh.

Yeah, it can be done. One of the White Hallways door is situated on the "door" of a booth entering a parking lot. I'm pretty sure they know how to just put a teleport thing on a random part of an area.

EDIT: the White Hallways show us a lot of what can be done now. It was a newly constructed and inserted area that was not previously existing (I asked in the Ask a Dev thread). Teleportation is obviously pretty easy, as well as inserting in NPC's (which helps with gangs if it's a new district/construct), or at least they got the hang of it.
#36300392792 01/24/2008 16:15:23 Re:Image Retrieval - January 23, 2008
Good points but if its a new district why not just use HL's?

Now I thought about an answer to this as well... obviously you have to tag HL's before using them and I doubt that you'll be able to walk or HJ from say Richland to the new district the same way that you can between Richland and Westview. So how would you get there? I doubt the Dev's would put in extra train lines (Unless they can extend routes...) so a portal would be one way of getting there... but after you tag a HL you wouldn't use the monument/portal much...

The anticipation for answers is really building up!
#36300392810 01/24/2008 17:01:06 Re:Image Retrieval - January 23, 2008
If memory serves, the garbage barge has its own self contained HL, as shown in the assassin cinematics. As to if this is a new district? This could very well be the long lost sewer/power plant area that was promised in early beta. Not meaning to sound negative, but knowing this game it will probably be just a new construct or new bit of land added onto downtown.

Still can keep up the hope that its a fully fledged district as opposed to a 10 minute distraction from standing at a HL all day.
