    Hope I've put To Save a Single World and Marketing Opportunity into the right section - I think they probably belong in Classic Super-Hero/Super-Villain.

    There is a site - I don't have a link - that lists mission arcs and includes numbers of EBs and AVs to find or avoid

    [/ QUOTE ]
    High Treason's MA search site has number of EBs/AVs in searchable criteria IIRC.

    Whereas City of Guides doesn't have the number, but does have flags for EBs and AVs which are searchable.
  3. Nice guide - linked this on the EU boards.

    [ QUOTE ]
    - Clear Objectives
    Players must understand what they need to do for a mission objective – the task listed in the nav must be clear. “Look for clues” is not clear, nor is “investigate”. “Search computer”, “Defeat Big Bad” are clear. Players will quit missions if they cannot figure out how to complete them.


    [/ QUOTE ]
    Broke this one in one of my missions as there were (iirc) 3 required glowies of different types - so a single mission objective of "3 pieces of evidence to find" looked better than something like "search the computer for financial records, search the filing cabinet, search the other computer".

    But then, most of these rules are good rules until a good reason comes up to break them!

    Hey guys and gals. Could you help me by answering this question for a project I'm working on?
    Maybe a lot of people already answered this question but, when you're looking for or creating a story arc would you rather go for farming missions that has no story and give good XP or do you go for an Arc that has a good entertaining story and average XP? Why?

    [/ QUOTE ]
    Surely you answer this yourself by stating 'a good entertaining story' - so by definition it has to entertain (with the implication that the farm is not entertaining).

    Who, when given a choice in a game (which ought to be a fun pastime) would pick 'not entertaining' over 'entertaining'?

    Entertaining story every time.
  5. From memory, AFAIK, the Zig map has 3 spawn points for hostage/ally/battle - all 3 are in the end cells.

    Starting a mission with an ally at your side is one of the options that MA could really do with IMO.

    If the story dictates that you're entering a mission with help, or meeting at the mission it's clumsy to have to search about in the mission for the ally who's been captured.

    Someone in another thread suggested by mentioning one of yours when you send a review on someone else's.

    [/ QUOTE ]
    I used the reverse today - contacting people who'd previously commented on my arcs when I published a new arc.

    I've been keeping a txt file of feedback received on my arcs and so used that as my 'mailing-database' when I published a new arc today...

    So the people (on the EU servers as that's my main home) who had really enjoyed one of my arcs that was similar (in both tongue-in-cheek humour and length) to the new one were sent a tell something like this:

    As someone who enjoyed my sense of poor humour in the past, I'd like to let you know that "City of Norms" (arc 132944) is my new JD-style-humour look at the recent events on the EU boards. Hopefully you'll enjoy it if you try it!

    Now I think by keeping to people who really enjoyed a similar arc I managed to:
    a) Keep the mailing list small;
    and
    b) Avoid it being just a spam mailshot to all and sundry.

    Not sure if it's the sort of promotion idea you're after in this thread - but initial results suggest that (done carefully/sensibly) it seems to work.

    Nice site, but are we allowed to post US arcs on it?

    [/ QUOTE ]
    I think arcs and comments/reviews written by players on the US-servers are more than welcome at City of Guides - especially while the ingame comments don't work between the US and EU server groups.

    I suspect that you may need to list an arc at the site before you can leave comments, but I may be wrong on that!
