Name: Hunting the Hunters
Arc ID: 16531
Length: Medium
Missions: 2
Genre: Horror - Vampire
Morality: Villainous

Description: Young vampires have been going missing from Bardovia and no one knows what their fate might be. You have been asked to investigate these disappearances and get to the bottom of who is hunting the undead.


I created this mission for my Villain Group on Freedom. We're a role playing SG with a dark fantasy / horror theme. This first story arc introduces a custom enemy group known as The Slayers, who are the focus of the second story arc I did. I used the Luddites as the introductory antagonists in the story, which unfortunately sets the mission level between 8 and 20. You really have to read the clues and pay attention to the details of the objects and NPCs you're interacting with to get the full story of what's going on in the first story arc.

I'd really like to combine Part 1 and Part 2 into one big story arc with 5 missions but the file size is too big. I'm also worried it might make it too long and people might loose interest.

I'm all about the story, so I'm really eager to see what people think. Please let me know.

The "8-20" actually got me to wander in to try this, specifically with one of my warshades who's just 21.

Stuff to track down to fix (AKA Ye Olde Typo List: )

Intro - typo - due to report, not due too.
First mission intro: Definitely, not definately.
Second mission intro: Staging, not stagging.
Second mission return (success) dialog: emissary

You mention you wrote this for an RP group. You may want to mention that inside the description as well, given some of the dialog. Are you supposed to be RPing as another vampire? I'm assuming the answer is yes, given the clue when you find Ludwig in the first mission.

Return to Contact dialog... first mission... is somewhat... overdone... on the ellipses...

Second mission intro: The wording at the last is a bit awkward. I'd change it from:

"Remember: the luddites have already attacked you once for aiding us and this is a chance to (etc) to something like:

Remember, the Luddites will not hesitate to attack you. Aiding us will not only increase our good will towards you, but give you a chance to punish them for their transgressions." (Alternately, punish their audacity or a similar phrase.) It was odd enough that it stood out, at least for me.

None of that is a major issue to playability, and a 21 Warshade didn't feel over (or under)powered. It felt solid, but too short, and that's the biggest disappointment I ran across. I'd see about figuring out what you can do to combine the two. Do the bosses (such as the liaison from the last mission) all share similar powers and looks? If so, use just one copy and rename them - this will save on the file size.



My arc:
Tsoo Faced
#1120
Very long - Heroic
5 missions
Synopsis: The Tsoo begin an uncharacteristic rash of break ins across the city. They're obviously looking for something. What it is may come as a surprise - even to them.

Thanks so much for the feed back! I combined both my arcs into the one, so it flows much better now. I also fixed the grammatical errors and the typos. I would really love for you to check it out again.

The Will of the Core Matron (Chapter 1)
ARC ID: 72779
Consists of 4 missions, is soloable (though I recommend lower difficulty if you're a squishy), and is lv 40 minimum.
MORALITY: Heroic
DESCRIPTION: He is known only as The Soul of the Machine; a mysterious technological marvel who emerged seemingly from nowhere, taking up arms against the ruthless villains that plague Paragon City. But even Paragon's finest cannot stand alone, and The Soul of the Machine requires your aid.

Any critiquing / criticism welcome as long as it is constructive. It was not particularly hard when I solo'd it on my 50 scrapper, on Invincible. I was just looking to make it fun really, with an engaging story. I used almost all available text capacity...lol...so please, be sure to take the time to read the clues and such.

[/ QUOTE ]

I solo'd the mission as a 33 Bane Spider. It wasn't too hard, except all the custom mobs seemed to be able to see through my stealth so I couldn't use any of my stealth strikes. I expected to die a lot, but I didn't, so that was a plus.

My biggest criticism would be that in addition to there being too many stalkers, to many of the mobs did Blind. I find blind very annoying. That might be a personal issue thing, but I took all the blinding mobs out of my missions because they made it way too hard in larger groups.

The other issue I had was the first mission was timed and on a huge map. With stealth I could run through most of it to find the blinkie but I imagine if I was with a big group the mob spawns would be so huge that it could be difficult to succeed on without stealth or just running past the mobs.

I liked the story and the custom mobs looked cool. I saw a couple places where the wording could have been improved to make the language clearer, but all in all I give it two thumbs up!

My mission arc is as follows:

After getting feedback from the forums, I combined my two arcs into one, and cleaned up some typos and fixed the flow of the story so it is much better.

Please check it out and let me know what you think.
