I don't know about Martial Arts, but if you own SuperScience you have access to it in the critter creator. I'd assume that all Super Boosters would require actual ownership to access them.

Try using smaller maps first. It's a valid concept to have separate missions but you might want to use maps with shorter lengths.

The startup ambush is a novel idea and you do give warning. However, some people WILL dislike it. Unless you get a cascading shower of low ratings, I'd say keep it. However, you might want to give an in-character warning in your intro text for the mission.

I almost thought that was the case but figured it was better to be on the safe side.

It happens to all of us. I hate it when I catch typos in my own stuff.

Glad to help. The only thing is that I'm not sure your story properly qualifies for Aeon's challenge since the player does the right thing without controversy. If Diomedes was killed for the sake of protecting the innocent, then it seems like it would fit the theme of the challenge better.

The Triumph server Mission Architect SG & VG are mostly mid range now so I'll try to work in a few more of these for team tests.

Pretty good overall. There's one or two places where enemies say "them" and it would probably be more effective to use $himher. In a similar vein, make sure that times when the NPCs speak and mention Bladed Justice, they also refence the player. Perhaps the most glaring recurring issue is the way mission titles and objectives are done. For instance, "Defeat 2 Lieutenants and Diomedes" with the objectives named "3 Bosses to defeat" is either dry or repetitive pending on the mission. Would probably be better for the title to be "Arrest the Warrior Leaders" with "2 Lieutenants to arrest, Defeat Diomedes" as the listed objectives.

Mission 1

Bladed Justice seems to be set to Aggressive AI which can be bad if he aggros everything.

Bio
As a father to Diomedes is Tydeus. They grew up together on the back streets of Paragon, where the older Tydeus looked out for Diomedes. They joined the Warriors, and as the years passed, Diomedes grew stronger and cannier than Tydeus, passing him in rank. Their bond remains after it all, however. Where Diomedes leads, Tydeus follows, bearing his massive battleaxe.

First sentence sounds a little wonky. Might be better as simply

Tydeus is like a father to Diomedes.

If this is Diomedes, then he is a cunning and vicious warrior, responsible for the murder of Bladed Justice's childhood friend, and who knows how many other citizens and heroes. He must be brought to justice! <- remove comma

Mission 2

Ah, the start of mission ambush. Makes sense and you did give warning but note that some people hate these, especially is they have slow loading times. Keep at your discretion.

The intro popup mentioned an office but the mission was in a cave...

outro
No, I can't get too hot-headed. I have to think, and think hard. Only then can I catch Diomedes. Only then can kill him.

Grammatically, this should be "Only then can I kill him.". However, you might want Bladed to correct himself afterwards so it shows him at least making an attempt not to go down the dark path until later in the story after events have enraged him even more.

Mission 5

Tub Ci had a Warrior minion with him instead of a Tsoo minion.

All humor is subjective and politics is doubly so. You have an arc that could touch on some nerves, especially if they think you are too serious with your satire though it seems like you had fun making the arc from reading the thread. Similarly, some stuff could be seen as "incorrect" with some of the mixture of parties but I'm guessing that's part of the joke in the end.

You should probably only used MMs for your main/named bosses as opposed to regular spawning bosses like the Senators.

To my understanding, ABC is commenting more or less on "why paint more of the house some of the current paint is smudged?".

Most likely the main pack should be like a backpack that'll wraparound the front. The front connection will be concealed by the Vahz apron. Use the legs of stiff locking lawn chairs for the various utensils sprouting from the pack.

That's part of the point of the idea. Mission Computer is currently useless blueside and has just a single SF redside (though Silver Mantis SF is pretty fun). Adding either more regular missions or some sort of auxillary item that adds AE functionality would give it use.

In theory, the Mission Computer would be perfect for this.

Intriguingly, lesser versions of both of these exist in the game. There's spots in Port Oakes where you'll see Family exit a building mentioning something shady and if you aggro them they will run to another building to get away. There aren't many, but there are a few two part missions where completing a map will direct the player to another door for part two.

What I would like to see is zone events where I have to defend something or someone. It would be an intriguing contrast to the current kill/destroy setup and the only thing even remotely close would be the Steel Canyon fires. This allow different strategies like purposely stacking Tanker taunts to keep the enemies at bay or giving /grav Dominators a chance to be proud of the fact they have Dimension Shift.

He did eventually spawn. Sorry you missed him.

It was pretty fun overall. Failing the first one was disappointing but it felt like the teams were starting to gel better over time. I need to remember that with smethal damage I need to avoid banners with ghosts.

BTW...Would anyone like to try for a redside banner event around Thanksgiving? I'm purposely holding on to some costume salvage to spring on the world on a later date but I'm trying to see if anyone specifically was wanting to run one. The only disappointment is that the salvage might trigger zombies instead of a Deadly.

This. I've reverted mine with no problems

You make a valid point on this end of things. However, I think that the MA could be a decent springboard for these discussions. As I mentioned, some things simply can't be done in the MA so the devs would have to make alterations anyway. For example, in Posi TF there's a part where you need to speak with Azuria. Fun as MA is, we're trapped in that room with that glowing light so no fedex's for us, even when they make sense.
