The armor admittedly does look a bit like it belongs in a medieval game, but as long as it's just the helmet I can see it as a cyberpunk type of armor

Fantastic pictures!! Those love seats are awesome.
That NPC is sitting down. In a chair. Not cross-legged! I'm not sure I've seen that in this game before.
It would be helpful if the daily missions were available every 18 hours or so, not 24.
It's still daily, but this way, if you are late pulling your mish one night, the rest of your week isn't thrown off by it.

Dipping my toe back in, thinking of returning.
Will the changes Means announced for neutrals be released in 18.2 then ?
Hmm the armour does look a little out of place, but its one of the only helmets fc have made recently(and ever in fact) that looks even vaguely attractive.
i think the cool thing with that armour will be the glowing transparent purple stuff, maybe it has a trail like ai rapiers.
the best thing in that picture is the npc is sitting down! omg does that mean we can finally sit in chairs?
i tried to incorporate locations that showed people various locations
Mish ideas:
PvP Quests !!!! with vp reward and/or xp
-Kill X guards in one(or more opposing cities)
-Kill X players in one(or more opposing cities)
-Scout the enemy(tag guards/players/towers and maybe BS terminals for low lvls so they learn where they are )
PVM
General
-Escort mission, take a mob from point a to point b, keep it alive.
-"You shortchanged me" - Kill a vendor npc mob (ot bartender etc)
-Athletics competitions!, make mobs spawn with rs about 10% lower than yours, then utilise the mitaar mechanics but alter it so you have to reach them before the mob. Running track maybe around cities/outdoors/dungeons
-"Feed The Leet!" - The leet (in bor or newland) is hungry! and he needs X and y(bring them before timer runs out, have to give 1 at a time, so you gotta run to leet,feed,run to new vendor n back, feed etc etc)
-Tradeskill FRENZY - You are given one step at a time instructions to TS an item, do it in the time limit!
-"QUICK, a vaccine!" - You are poisoned and need a vaccine, the parts drop off mobs around the game world, doc scales with lvl(or maybe a time delayed nuke0
AI
-Target each elevator in apfs
-Kill/Tag or other mobs in s10 (lvl 125-150)
SL
-Kill/tag/find incarnators around sl(which 1s depends on your lvl)
-tag a heckler in 1 or more sl zones(which 1s depends on your level)
-tag lotv in each sl zone(again which ones depends on lvl)
LE
Tag each omni/clan dread lock boss
more to come maybe better ones when it isnt 3am!
Whoever designed that new armor.. does he/she play Guild Wars?
<Means> I always laugh when I have to type "/get sex" when debugging
[Social] Eponyx: I don't drink, yeah it is true. Can you please get that pink moose of the platform. And park the polkadot elephant to reclaim.
Uaintseenme: This is why i love Test sever so Much.
I can wake up in the morning and think to my self, "Im going to break AO today" and should i managed to do it, I'll get rewarded for it.

Daily missions:
[Combat style] Go vaporise a outside camp in a given zone on Rubi-Ka.
Change between camps filled with normal Mobs for XP, and aliumz for Aixp.
But the XP the mobs on RK gives, got to be tweaked... so that it's worth spending 20->30min killing. Sure adding a great mission reward is one thing, I would say the easy way out... But the mission should be somehing you enjoy the whole time you spend on it!
[Hacker style] "The uncle bazzits quest is kinda cool..." So anything like this, but do it outside, or in some other location than a normal mission...
But skip the mobs, until you do something wrong on a terminal... and creates a security log. By this you should be given a timer, where you should be able to delete this log before any administrators sees it, and makes action.
Such a action could lead to security sentries would spawn or something... and that terminal would be shut down for a period of time. So that you would need to reloacte to another terminal...
Unless you were actually connected through another terminal, just to mezz with the security allready...
Additional ideas to the hacker-style:
- Set off the alarm on one terminal to gain more time at the one you work on.
- more important task to those allready members of the hacker-club?
Well something to set your brain spinning

The way I see it, the loot, the levels, all the binary is temporary and can be lost at any time. The only permanent thing in the game are the people and the memories you make with them. ~Silq

Are the new neut necks still planned for 18.1? :P
If you go the route of sided missions:
One kinda cool idea would be hacking shop terminals. You're handed a special Hacking tool and are told to go to x shop in enemy territory to retrieve some souped-up weapon from the shop. Apply the tool to the terminal, you retrieve the weapon, then run to your contact
