Deathbug

That map is changed, and confirmed even.

I have tried a couple of the Dev Choices mission too and been somewhat disappointed. To me they seem...very familiar in content to what the devs have created themselves. I suppose that makes sense, though. Since if they like their own work, why wouldn't they like work that tries to replicate it or extend it?

[/ QUOTE ]

I've noticed this too. I've played most of the Dev Choice arcs, and I have to say it seems that to make a Dev's Choice designation you have to explicitly exploit existing canon, especially the MA itself. Other things that might have gone into the designation I can't even guess; too many of the current DC arcs are lame at best. I've played a dozen other arcs that are far more entertaining and well-constructed than some of the DC arcs.

I think the fact that they haven't designated any as DC in awhile means that they went a bit overboard at first and have now tightened up whatever the qualifications are. Still...it seems I play at least one a day that is far and away better than some of the DC arcs. Are they waiting to see hundreds of plays at 5 stars before they'll choose another one? I don't think that's right, considering the ratings griefing that's been going on.

Yeah, I have to say that complaining about this arc being "derivative" of the book and movie is completely missing the point. Some of these people need to go to homage school.

Number of Mishes: 3

You're being interviewed for the Tanya Show. What could possibly go wrong? How about crazed fans, a clumsy conjuror, a bankrobber in his boxers, and a ratings-obsessed demon? A comedy send-up of daytime TV.

Solo-friendly, shouldn't be difficult at all, this one's all about teh funnay.

I've run both Trademark Infringement and Death to Disco (which is one of my all-time fave arcs!).

Thanks very much! Sad to hear the hospital is still there, I thought I changed that map. Glad you enjoyed it!

Name: Time's Maelstrom
Arc ID: 182874
Creator Global Name: @Armory1
Difficulty Level: Difficult
Synopsis: A rupture between timestreams has doomed the future. Can you save the world and Time itself, and after all of that decide the fate of billions?
Number of EB/AVS – 6
Story Type - Global domination/Time travel/Player-determined outcome
Mission Count: 5

My third arc, but by far the toughest one to write.

Heavily story-focused, lots of text and clues. It's time travel, it's global domination, and it's a player-chosen outcome. It's designed to be difficult, but not impossible. You'll find EBs in Mish 3 with no allies, mish 4 is contains 4 EBs (with a couple of allies) and an AV, and Mish 5 contains 2 EBs...if you choose to fight them. Yes one mish is a kill all, but it makes sense (trust me) and it's not a bad map for it. The last two mishes are timed.

I have one board review, from theHedoren, which can be found
here. He also said, "By far the best time-travel arc I've seen. Ends with a well-executed moral dilemma." (Many thanks, glad you enjoyed it!)

Any and all feedback is welcome. Time travel is tough, it gave me headaches writing it, I certainly hope nobody gets one playing it. And of course, feel free to play and rate the other two arcs in my sig.

I do it quite simply because I miss GMing that old Paper and Pen game I probably shouldn't mention here. It's just fun to hear the comments for my arcs (well arc so far, but working on it.)

Also the chance to make my own baddies...for sure.

[/ QUOTE ]

Absolutely, same here. In fact the last arc in my sig was based on one of my most well-received paper-and-pen scenarios, when the gaming group was still gathering regularly. It was fun to see my villains and that storyline come to life in the MA. It got a great review here: http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showflat....e=2&fpart=4

Here's a parody of the daytime TV talk show world:
Daytime Divas #94504
Heroic, solo-friendly
@Armory1

I meant to post this earlier...I played this one a few days ago and I really enjoyed it. As has been mentioned, that probably has a lot to do with my remembering those days, and Demolition Night at Comiskey Park, quite clearly. I was one of the original disco haters.

It was fun to play. Five stars.

You know, I've seen similar complaints around the boards, but my experience so far has been quite different. I don't think even 10% of the arcs I've run use that map.

None of mine do! *hint hint* (but only the Divas arc is short).

I'll offer mine up to, why not. Any of the three in my sig.

Thanks for the very detailed review. I'm really pleased the story held together, I can't count the number of headaches I gave myself with this thing.

As to your specific points...the map in Mish 2 was originally a Crey lab but I thought it didn't resemble a pseudo-medical facility enough. I'll change it back, as the hospital map has failed to grow on me.

Announcing the time limit in the Intro text is a bit tougher...I'm at 997 characters now, for starters. I was also hoping a time limit is strongly implied, as Silos says he's sending you to stop them from using their device. But I agree with you in general, it's best to state it in the Intro. So I'll see what I can do.

Thank you again for a very thorough and thoughtful review!

If you think about it, very few comic book heroes don't do illegal searches, at least occasionally. That's kinda the point of becoming a superhero instead of a supercop.

I just ran this one:
Arc Name: Dr. Dave and the Copper Legion
Arc ID: 60280

...with a 50 Inv/SS tanker.

I enjoyed the arc very much. I liked the Copper Legion a lot, the designs and descriptions were good. I liked your custom heroes in the final mish also. They did seem overpowered while working over the Legionnaires, but they were welcome help with the AV. Good descriptions too, that kind of stuff sets apart the really good arcs from the mediocre ones.

Speaking of the AV...I like chained objectives but they're not always appropriate. A lot of times you'll find yourself backtracking to places you've already cleared trying to find the new objective. That happened here. I understand wanting the absolute last objective to be beating the mastermind of the whole thing, but I'm not sure why that can't happen before all of the vertices are deactivated. Like I said, I don't mind chained objectives and in fact the mish I'm going to ask you to run does something very similar to this, but I've got the new objective spawning right there where the first one is (at least that's how it's working so far in testing!). Not a major beef, I didn't take off a star or anything.

I would also echo an earlier review, I'd like to see more dialogue from the patrols. Of course the legionnaires themselves aren't going to say anything, so it might be tricky in a mish like this. But it was something I found myself missing while running through it, until the finale.

Ick, Malta. I will admit, if not for this thread and your offer of reviews I would've skipped this arc as soon as I saw that. I'm glad that didn't put me off, as it was only a couple of patrols and an ambush, not a Malta-filled mish. With allies they weren't a problem, even the Sapper.

One of the shortest Very Long arcs I've run, a lot of them have at least one 'grind' mish but none of yours felt that way. Good writing throughout, I liked the organization you created and the contact's dialogue.

Okay, here's my request: you did state that time travel was a bear to write and even harder to pull off, so naturally I'll put up my time travel arc:

<b>Arc Name: Time's Maelstrom
Arc ID: 182874
Author: @Armory1</b>

Save the world, save Time itself, then make a fateful decision that will decide the fate of billions. Just another day in Ouroboros.

This one has several EBs and an AV, and the final mish features 2 EBs. It's designed to be difficult, but I'm able to solo it with the same tanker I ran through yours. The finale mish is timed and features a choice: complete it or let the time run out.

I'm very interested in whether the story holds together. It's been re-written twice now for clarity and brevity. No negative feedback so far, but I've only had 2 people run it.

So, has anyone noticed an uptick in the number of plays your arcs get after adding tags to the description?

I just ran The Beating Heart of Astoria and left you some feedback. One of the most creative uses of the MA I've seen. Very thoughtful and lots of abstract concepts throughout. Nice touch with the souvenir. *****

[ QUOTE ]
Ran through Sidekicks Can Be a Pain. on a level 37 Robotics/Force Field mastermind on Relentless.

Got all the way to the end, quit at the AV fight out of frustration. I'm not sure if there's a particular need to make him an AV.

[/ QUOTE ]
Well the story portrays him as having a huge potential for massive power, and I wanted to reflect that. I've been worried about making him too hard for solos/small groups and too easy for large ones.

[ QUOTE ]
The ally isn't helpful either, since the AV was prone to running all over the place, and given that the AV can fly and the ally can't I had to run back a lot to pick him up. Especially when the AV jumped onto the buildings out of range.

[/ QUOTE ]

You're the second person to report the AV running around. I don't get that, he's not supposed to run at all. And I've not seen him run in any of my test runs. Maybe dropping him to an EB will make a difference. I'll try that.


[ QUOTE ]
Really, that's my biggest complaint. The name Kyle Kousins grates on my nerves, but I get the feeling that was part of the intention.

[/ QUOTE ]

Indeed! I wanted that classic Stan Lee alliteration, and I wanted him to be annoying. Seeing as how he only appears as an annoying teen in the first mish I thought the name would help convey that feeling.

[ QUOTE ]
The storyline as a whole felt like some sort of saturday morning cartoon, which I actually rather enjoyed. I would have liked to see the custom group come in the third mission as a patrol or something.

[/ QUOTE ]
That was the intended feel. And after the first review I received I've re-written it. Combined the first two mishes into one, and added the custom group as the main group in Mish 3.

[ QUOTE ]
Rated three stars over the Arch Villain issue. It's just too frustrating to run around the place for a half hour without really putting a dent in him.

[/ QUOTE ]
Ack! And I don't have him set to run...I'll check into this.

Thank you for taking the time to run it and do the write-up. Your suggestions and feedback are very helpful!

[ QUOTE ]
Not that I expect Venture to play it again, but revisions complete.

[/ QUOTE ]
Likewise, don't expect him to play mine again (#28430, Sidekicks Can Be A Pain In The Cape), but I took some of Venture's suggestions, added a couple of other things, whole new look. I can't say enough about how much a solid critique can help, as well as playing arcs to see what others have done.

[ QUOTE ]
Deathbug was the last person that followed the rules. So playing his arc now. Everyone else gets skipped.
Sidekicks Can Be A Pain In The Cape
Arc ID #28430


[/ QUOTE ]
Great suggestions, thank you. This thing has been a tweak-fest. That "pop her one for me" line was just added last night, so it will be gone today.

My file size is near maximum already, I'll see what combining the first two mishes does for that.

Glad to hear the AV/EB wasn't too hard. Not sure why he's running. That happened during one of my test runs too, but none of the others. He's not supposed to run at all so I don't know what's up with that. Also I've had trouble with the Ally just standing there watching the fight. Seeing as he's set on Aggressive, I don't know what's going on there either. Has anybody else seen the same behavior in their arcs?

Again, thanks very much for your feedback! Very helpful!

In keeping with the spirit of the thread, I'll review the one that was posted above my request for feedback.

[ QUOTE ]
Now then...I would LOVE it if someone could give me a review of my arc. It's arc #46405; The Unmaking, Part 1: Entropic Ascension. Depending on what kind of feedback I get (if I get any), I have some ideas in mind for a part 2 and possibly a part 3. Feedback on the story, the difficulty...basically anything and everything! I designed it to be soloable, so if it's too tough in a spot I'd like to know. I've got zero ratings on it right now which is making me sad!

[/ QUOTE ]

Ran this arc solo with a Inv/SS tanker on Rugged. It was very playable, and I think it would ramp up well with a team. I liked the custom group very much, nice look to all the members and good descriptions, they really rounded out the organization and made it feel real. Great backstory to the group as well.

The ending was intriguing, it left me wanting to play Part 2 to see what happens. Nice job of immersing the player character in the story.

I ran into one problem with a member of a Boss mob somehow hiding behind a tree. Took me awhile to find it, but that's the hazard of using an outdoor map I guess. No biggie. I didn't notice any typos but I wasn't really looking for them.

Well written and a clear story, very nice job!

And now I'll shamelessly plug mine again:
Sidekicks Can Be A Pain In The Cape
Arc ID #28430
Got a Boss with psionics and a tough AV at the end. Arachnos, Crey, and a Custom group. I've soloed it with the same tanker I used above, and run it with a large and a small team and so far it seems to hold up.

Arc #2007, "The Green Brew"
tl;dr: 1 star. Offenses: Killer GM

Green Dwarf (author insert) needs you help in creating the perfect....

...beer.

That's probably worth at least four stars immediately from the frat members.

Your first stop is Oranbega, to retrieve some magical water from one of its springs. Guarding the place is "Sinadria", one of the Dwarf's exes, who spawned frontloaded. At first glance she looked like a Succubus EB but is actually a custom with a lookalike costume (well done), a Claws/Couldn'tTell. I ended up needing to use Elude as the fight got pushed into the next spawn down the corridor. This was a small map and the glowie spawned about in the middle.

Your next task is to retrieve some special barley from a Redcap-infested field in Croatoa. Upon entering the map the nav bar instructs you to find "Alsae", who turns out to be a Grain Nymph ally (Boss, Plant/Thorn). Rescuing her triggers the spawn of the real target, Redcap Boss Iron Heel. Unfortunately this means you have to grovel over a large outdoor map again, and even if you choose to ditch the ally your stealth is blown off. Upon completion Alsae gives you a sack of barley and "another present to remember her by", If You Know What I Mean.

The next ingredient is hops...from Praetorian Earth. The nav bar says "Find the Alpha Wolf and assert your dominance"....um....riiiiiight.... Taking him out triggers the spawn of EB "Loup-Garou", a Super Strength/Regen. Thanks to the current AI silliness the first thing he did was pop Instant Healing, meaning the first 60 seconds or so of beating on him just didn't count. After a effort roughly akin to felling the mightiest tree in the forest with a herring, he bought it.

Next up was a trip to Eden for yeast. You are warned to bring END insps and to stay out of melee range...nice thing to say to a Scrapper. I also noticed going in that this mission is level-locked to 50, which actually EXed me to 49. The objective target is, I kid you not, a gorram Blue Mitochondria. I did try to fight it but, as a Scrapper, that was just not happening. At this point I bailed out of the arc and one-starred it. If zero was an actual option I'd have used it.

I have to disagree with you on this one - I played this arc and had a blast! I was on my Dual/Regen Scrapper - all i had to do to the Mito was stay above him (i have fly) and used my Black Wand Vet power to kill him, his ranged attacks were not very powerful and with my Instant Heal and he was dead long before its timer was up - the mission after the Mito was also great with a lot of suprise twists - i might suggest if you dont have one of the vet ranged attacks you try buying the revolver temp power - if your not in Melee he is a piece of cake! As for the loup-garou he was also easy and i am only lvl 42, his bio text was an amazing either legend or piece of fiction - whichever it was it read great!

I gave it 5 stars for creativity. wonderful flavor text (if you bothered to read it) and actually making me have to find creative solutions to the problem!

I gave his arc 5 stars. Of course, I was a Blaster and was pleasantly surprised that what I was expecting to be a tough battle (the mito) actually took about 15 seconds without using any inspirations.

I'd say if you have ANY ranged attack (including temp/vet powers) then give this arc a try. It's really fun.

I gave this one 4 stars, because I was running a tanker and didn't realize that a few shots from a Nemesis staff would've taken care of the Mito. I would agree about the Loup-garou, at first I didn't think I'd be able to take him down at all (ran it on Rugged), but then his Instant Healing wore off. He would be a lot harder with a Blaster or Troller, but a team could handle him without much trouble I think.

I wish now I'd given it 5 stars, as I enjoyed the story and the variety of settings. I haven't played many other arcs so far, but this one stands out.
