Deceived

I'd like to come too! Will bring my /rad corr, Seraph Irene.

Being someone with all these badges on my villain, I'm not complaining or feel they've been cheapened in any way. I refused to do all of them again on my hero and with the lower requirements, I might actually give them a shot.

To be honest, there are enough people that have them now, that I don't find them to be a huge achievement. The badge I'm most proud of getting was Heatseeker. I was the one who spotted it and got the teams forming on Freedom when it was bugged and were the first ones to get that badge.

I don't care about the day jobs being 21 or 14 days. I am about a week from getting my next one, and have only 4 more to go after that(until GR), and 2 accolades to go with those 4.

Hook the ambush to an auto-complete captive (set single, no guards.)

Wouldn't the captive have to be right at the door for this to work?

[/ QUOTE ]

No, they don't. Setting a captive with the "Single" for captor group difficulty will spawn the ambush once you enter.. and that ambush will come at you, wherever you are.

As a general rule, I focus more on plots than the actual missions themselves. I'm a sucker for a good story. I will look at arcs from the vantage point of a writer and give you what feedback I can. I promise that I will be objective and honest about what I see. However, I do not promise that I won't at times be blunt in my honesty.

So, down to business:

Fallen Angel

Thank you for the feedback on this. As harsh as it was, it was definitely needed. I know it had 84 rates on it, but not alot of feedback. This is where being a badge hunter has a disadvantage. Despite my asking for no free stars, I had gotten some. As for here, I've had only one other review on these forums and that was 2+ weeks ago. Most of the in game comments have been short and positive. So it's welcome to have a much harsher critic to point out flaws and offer suggestions.

I have spent a good bit of time editing this. Most of the changes were in the first 2 missions dialog, so if you have a chance to take a quick peek at it, please let me know what you think. Hopefully it'll add a couple more stars to the rating you gave it. :P

I'd love to get mine in my sig added to the list. Should I send a PM with all the arc info? Or do you just need the number and title?

Well, as long as I get some serious plays and feedback without the drive by killer-1 stars, I'm in! :P

My arc is:
#111352 - Fallen Angel: Crossing Over
Villainous
5 missions, says Very Long, but I have done it in 30-45 minutes solo testing on a 34 dark/dark brute. Got Posi AV/EB at the end... he's in mission 2 as the Signature Pet version, so he's a pushover there with the helper.

Honest feedback too please. If you're not going to play it, don't rate it at all. I want the feedback more than I want the stars/# of rates.

I've got some of these copied to my list and will play through as I have time.

I have one arc that alot of people get a weird feeling about.
Arc #52387: Girl Scout Cookie Scheme

It's a heroic arc... but may have a twisted feel to it. :P


My villainous arc, listed below in my sig, is tricking a Hero into becoming a villain.. a switching sides arc.

[ QUOTE ]
Personally, I can't wait for the day that the number of Dev Choice missions is greater than the number of people with the Bug Hunter badge.

[/ QUOTE ]

That would be nice.. and I'm hoping mine is one of them... if, of course, it would get some plays and back into 5-stars where it was before the latest grieving.

[ QUOTE ]
I found Positron's little rant to be well...childish. In particular, he sees fit to mention "5-star badge cartels", but makes no mention of ratings griefers.

[ QUOTE ]

The constant spam of MA PL teams forming, requests for “Meow” missions, 5 star badge cartels, and the inability to find quality content in the Mission Architect listing are all things I heard complaints about over and over while I was logged in on Tuesday.


[/ QUOTE ]

Three little 1 or 0-star votes bumped my arc from page 3 down to well, at least page 250. I never did find it, but that was about the point where 4-star arcs, rather than 5-stars with 1 vote, started showing up.

So, 5-starring is "bad", but 0 & 1-starring appears to be "good".

One thing I would absolutely LOVE in the MA is for the author to see who starred their arcs and what rating was given. That would do a LOT more to cut ratings griefings than anything else. The only reason people do the 0 & 1-starring is that they can get away with it and never have to face the people they are griefing.

[/ QUOTE ]

I can totally feel your pain on this one. I had my main arc get hit the same way. It started out with 61 votes 2 days ago when I logged on. I had one comment sent to me when I logged one saying... *pulls up chat log*
"awesome job! i can't imagine why this isn't a dev choice."
and another...
"Defeating Posi is always fun and we get to do it twice!!! thanks..."

Both were 5 star votes, from non badgers. While I was on that day I also got a "very fun" and "Damn good job on this I really enjoyed this mish" and 5 stars from both.. as well as about 10 other 5-star votes.

That put it up to 77 votes and easily a 5-star. Then I get 5 more votes all low and pushing it back to 4 stars, and now it's on page 44 of the "4 star arcs" behind about 400 farm missions.

And, as expected, it hasn't gotten a play or rating since... (about 36 hours)

(I'll take review requests to ease some workload here. If you post here, please also send me a PM to be sure I get the arc ID number.)

Hmm... I'll take my chances and post my arc here.
Fallen Angel: Crossing Over

Villainous arc made for higher levels. I have been testing it with my 34(31 first time i tested) dark/dark brute.

Be gentle.... or harsh. I don't care. :P

I don't have time to run any of these until after work.. but I'll run one or two then. Wanted to submit an arc of mine while I'm here also.

I have one I just posted earlier today. Definitely want some comments on it since it's a fresh publish, and I know it needs more. I was just tired of looking at it and testing the past few days. :P

Arc ID: 111352
Title is Fallen Angel: Crossing Over
Villainous arc with mostly 35-54 range missions. Trying to create an arc where my main Hero, an nrg/dev blaster, switches sides, and becomes my main villain, an nrg/rad corr. Most interested in reviews of the storyline and pacing. Be as harsh as you deem necessary and I'll do what I can to make it better.

Spent the past week creating, but want to get more eyes on it for error correction and improvement. Some additions to text/dialog still needed.

Had a variety of feedback already. Can't hurt to get more though.

My feeling is that [FARM] is a tag some would like to be able to add to other people's descriptions...

[/ QUOTE ]

So true.
For more of a farm mish how about [CGYG] = Come Get Your Goodies!

It could be used for badge farms, tickets, inf, or xp.

<QR>

I have an arc 1-54 up. Have been keeping with adjustments as people have given feedback. Had some lower level soloers and teams run it. Does have custom mobs in it though.

#52387 Girl Scout Cookie Scheme
Good for solo, 3 missions. 20-30 minutes at most.

How do I make an optional objective display on the nav bar? Any time I set something as optional, it won't show up top. But I know pohsyb accomplished this in an arc.

[/ QUOTE ]

If you leave the singular and plural text of an optional collection empty, nothing shows in the Nav. If you actually put text in those blanks, the MA assumes you want it to show, and that text will show in the Nav whether the collection is optional or required.

[/ QUOTE ]
So I need to put text in BOTH of the fields, even if one is irrelevant? I ask because it's usually something like "Defeat Council base leader (optional)," so having one for plural would be pointless, unless of course the system requires me to fill that field in to display it.

[/ QUOTE ]

If you have 1 boss you would only need the singular filled in.

If however you have multiple collections with the same name, use the plural, for example "Bookcases to search"
then in the singlular for each, you can put "search the last bookcase" So when the player gets down to the last one, it'll change over to the singular text in the nav.

Same here, I lost one and deleted a character and lost that slot that should have been open also.

As of yesterday, I can add Invader to the list of accolades.

Invader (villians version of TF Commander)
