Why can't we access Carrier Wave from any Superjet?

I started to wonder about a certain policy CO has when it comes to event missions.
I call it the NoobSocialInteraction Policy.
And no, I don't feel like giving it a polite name. :mad:
They do this in STO too by the way.
Basically, a certain kind of mission or NPC interaction is designed to force you to go back to the starter area, because the service you are seeking is not provided anywhere else in the game, intentionally.
Cryptic have claimed this is to make people socialize more, but in reality, it just frustrates the veterans.
I know enough players avoid the starter areas just because of the inane discussions and if they go there, it's disable zone chat, do what needs to be done and get the heck out as fast as possible.
And now I'm very suspicious about Carrier Wave, in light of the above policy.
All you need to do to go to it is access a superjet and fly there.
But oddly, it has to be the Millenium City superjet, the others don't offer the prompt to go there.
I wish they'd stop forcing you to go to MC to do game stuff, surely the game is big enough you can spread the events to other zones, just for diversity?
Blood Moon in Vibora Bay would be so fun! :biggrin:

Since their base is in MC.
Because the 1st mission is in MC and you exit Champios HQ in there?
To continue to mission 2.
Would be silly to jump in Superjet in MC to travel in Canada and take Superjet there.
Because comicbooks?
And playing by myself since Aug 2009

Because.... in MC is only one Superjet! What Superjets you see there? Others?LMAO
There is 1 Superjet and 1 Helicopter! The Superjet is for you to go to Canada, Desert, Monster Island, Vibora Bay and the Helicopter (Chopper) is only for Crises (Canada Crisis and Desert Crisis)!
Sry, DUDE, but your the noob here not PW/Cryptic!

Then go in.
Simple.
Why not?
It didn't occur to em that someone would want to be able to access a mission that follows on from a mission in MC from other locations.
I like the way you think gamakyte
P.S. If they do this I want a concrete parachute as well

About the @handle - it's a long story.
Profound quote.. "I'm not a complete idiot - several parts are missing."
That only works if it has screen doors.
Each zone has one.
Let's count them shall we?
Canada.
Desert.
Monster Island.
Vibora Bay.
Millenium City.
It just doesn't make sense to me that you need to use a specific superjet when you can go anywhere in the game by using just one superjet.
And it's more that I don't like to use Millenium City period, for the reason I stated.
To paraphrase Sir Hammerlock from Borderlands 2:
"Everytime I read zone chat in Millenium City, I feel my brain cells committing suicide one by one."
Also, there was an incident a long time back with people abusing report player and getting my account muted, which had to be reversed by a GM.
So, you can see why I have a considerable dislike for that zone.
As for Blood Moon, let's just say I don't have fun doing it in Millenium City.
I won't explain the reasons, it just starts flamewars.
And yes, I know there is stuff to do in Canada and the Desert during Blood Moon, but I got the related achievements on my second Blood Moon, so there's no reason to do that again.
I mean the Boss Battles against the Undead Heroes and Takobell, it would be more interesting to see them set in Vibora Bay.

Don't speak in zone about wolverine.
I'm gonna guess the reason is about the 'farm groups' that do Nimbus and whatnot, right?
But that wouldn't make sense in any way. They are the heroes that died during the Battle of Detroit. Detroit. Not Vibora Bay.
Nevermind forcing everyone who wants to play those missions during the Blood Moon better buck up and go through the long **** Apocalypse crisis before even thinking of going.
I find it odd that you can suggest this, basically forcing a large portion of the populace to go through a huge string of boring content to be able to do the Blood Moon, and yet, you complain about going to bloody MC for five seconds to not move and hit the button to the next carrier mission. Yeah. That makes sense. :rolleyes:
Deliciously nutritious!
Am I missing something here. {oh,.. crime computer.. right :redface: it just clicked. Must be a laser sword}
But Cyberlord's ship is not!
Judging from the appearance of the area, it's still hovering over Canada.
Which would make sense, since that's where it appeared in the last story.
So why aren't we going to Canada to get to the ship then?
And yes, I turn off Zone, but I turn it back on when I return to Vibora Bay and then 10 brain cells commit group suicide, because the zone log from MC is still recorded.
And no, it wasn't about Wolverine.
I was having a intelligent discussion with another player about a serious topic.
Heaven forbid we have real conversations in an mmo! <patented Tilarta sarcasm>.
As for having to go through a whole chain, hasn't every maximum level player done it by now?
What I was actually suggesting is they have it in two places, MC can cater to the low level players, VB to the high level players.
And about them dying in MC, I sincerely doubt that they were buried in the city sewers!
It's just because the portals manifest there you fight them at those spots.
Those portals could quite easily appear anywhere else in the game.
And by the way, we're not talking 5 seconds here.
For the Socrates one, I had to run all the way to Champions HQ and all the way back once I was done.
And there's other things too, for example, when I was running those Questionite missions, I could only access them from MC, nowhere else.
That's what I really resent, that pretty much all the major stuff is centered about MC when it could as easily be done from elsewhere.
CO birthday events, the winter event tree and so on, all in MC.
So, if you add up all those little amounts, you realize you're spending far more time in MC then you'd think.
