Calypso has several "welcome to the planet" type mission chains which tease the new player into getting involved with the planet and the game. Over time, Calypso staff have gone from fumbling around with these, to now quite good at it. I'd like to suggest a handful of minor additions aimed at knitting existing early Calypso together a bit more, leading new players to see more of the planet, and giving an improved segue into Trail to the East:
(Fort Sysiphus, on completion of existing missions
"Reports from Corinth East Hangars tell of local wildlife getting out of control. Berycleds may make for fine eating but they have been interfering with hangar operations. Your experience here qualifies you to scout the hangars and clean up this nuisance!"
- Scout a series of waypoints scattered around Corinth East Hangars and the nearby estates
- The Hangars are in Half Moon Bay's revive zone, closing one end of the low level loop. Place the final waypoint there. No need to report to anyone.
(Half Moon Bay
"Fishing has been disrupted along the beach! Scout the beach and clear the problem."
- Scout a series of waypoints between Half Moon Bay and Half Moon Cove
- Kill some number of each of the creatures between
- Report to the first mission broker in the Half Moon Cove mission chain
(Camp Phoenix, on completion of existing missions there some mission to go to Port Atlantis (from where the low end of Trail to the East already leads the newcomer close enough to Argo Island and thence to CDF OP Charlie, completing the entire "newbie tour" loop
(Port Atlantis): A mission to hunt Sabakuma North of town
(Fort Icarus and Half Moon Bay): NPC "Manufacturing Coordinator" gives a few waypoints to nearby manufacturing terminals (some people just want to click it, and they get lost in the more hunter/miner oriented early layout of the game)
Regards,
Lefty
