Im starting this thread as ive been advised this discussion doesnt belong in the Development thread...
If we are getting GA to work in Shadowlands imo we need some kind of lore explanation and hopefully an updated item description; I offer this suggestion:
JAME has been studying the ability of Fixers and MP's to tap into the Notum Veins that run through the Shadowlands, intentionally weakening the nano effect to slow down the casters translation to the Gardens to better map their transit through the veins. (As a side note i dont know exactly what Notum Veins are supposed to be composed of but seeing as pure liquid notum comes from SL im guessing they might flow like rivers)
As a side effect of this research they discovered it was possible to almost entirely pause the casters journey and keep their essence suspended within the flow of Notum, this was simply an interesting side effect until one of the researchers got the idea that possibly a fixers Multi-Spatial Phasing Beacon could be reconfigured to function in a notum vein as well as the grid.
The program had to be radically reconfigured to create a stable projection into the notum veins but ultimately initial tests proved successful. The JAME researchers wanted to keep this effect secret until safety could be assured but the fixers testing it lost no time in informing the Smokers Lounge who happily distrubuted the new code to all their members.
I'd also add a line about altering the appearance of the beacon when used in the Shadowlands, but that would be dependant on the Devs being willing to reskin grid armor for SL. Personally i'd go for something in black and green and less tidy looking.
Any comments or other suggetions would be welcome
