I might be the only one but I think some of my favorite alerts were Brothers in Arms, and Family. Alternate Metro and Gotham. Now we already have the nexus, what stops a lex or batman from pulling us in to help with their version of Fortress of Solitude, and Batcave, even Gates of Tartyrus raids. I know people complain about rehashed content all the time but the level design may be the same but new enemies, New bosses and new strategies needed to beat the content is what truely matters. Or even take those with some tweaks and make them alerts. The storyline is there it could potentially be something as a filler content so things like the League of Assassins storyarch doesn't seem rushed, Nanada Parabat would've faired better as a raid with more focus on details, but we needed an alert with Blackest Day so corners were cut. Anyone else wanna chime in their opinions
I also like this idea. Some of the older content (minus Central City) is still some of my favorite they've released to date! I'd love to go revisit FOS.
All the old maps are approved by me! Kandaq, FOS, BC are all good maps I want to revisit. Maybe an Origin Crisis pt2, where reality, time, space, past, future is being stuffed up again. Maybe by someone else. I'd also love a raid in the Paradox Wave again, but with different visuals and colours, maybe someone else is manipuating it.
one idea i had for content would involve a few obscure dc villains: Scavenger and Barter (look them up). Basically they send the heroes and villains on a scavenger hunt and groups need to teleport to various raid locations to obtain them. the maps would be the same but the ads would of course be stronger and the villains/heroes (who are also after the items) would serve as boss fights. Would be a nice way to reuse new areas of old maps that have been largely unseen by everyone (the bath house area of khandaq, the upper floors of star labs,the are by the metro dam, etc.). Each instance would be a random combination of items to collect and places to go...good way to bring in some new villains and heroes (Superboy, hawk and Dove, the lords of order and chaos, Lobo, Killer Shark, etc), use underused characters in the game. This would lead to discovering someone is trying to revive the demons three with all those items... the 2 OC ops are 2 of my favorite instances in the game.
I appreciate your attitude. However, I highly disagree with your taste of instances. Back in T5, I didn't have SoT, only OC, and no one would let you into those raids with "green gear" on. You had to grind those two looooong, and incredibly similar operations over and over and over to get out of green gear. Because of that, I despise those two as much as the BFE duos.
I for one would find it interesting to have an FoS during the Future storyline. Where hero and villain alike keep the Brainiac invaders distracted as the exobytes and Future Lex are sent back to our time.
I'm all for exploring the council's alternate realities. But I'd rather they put more effort into it than just rehashing the same environments. Two things that come to mind when I visualise what I'd like to see are a Victorian(?) Gotham for Steampowered Batman where we battle for or against whomever his arch nemesis is in that timeline. Maybe a Jungle setting for Primal Batman, too, with a similar concept. If they're going to do it, then it should be done right.
I too remember what it was like before SoT released, and realized using the alternate earths could make us revisit areas with new stories. I also remember when those alerts dropped and the original raids there was actually some difficulty to it and not just because of high heath or one shots
I agree those could be awesome story lines, my concern is they'd be rushed like the League of Assassins story where they still are going to finish Amazonian and halls of power stories, so these would be the filler content. I'd be fine with revisting old over time, then once those other stories are then expand it even more as you described
