I personally don't mind it being charged for. I'll buy it, and be happy where the money goes.

I totally agree with this. If you love the game then there's no harm in pumping a few squid from each of us back into the development of the game. I bought the first two on this basis (and plenty slots) thinking it'll be an investment for myself in the future when that HUUUUUUGE issue comes out that makes my eyes explode.
My eyes are currently very much in tact.

Actually I was having a go at how light it looks. Seems to me like you could hit the whole thing and be done in a day.

Edit:
The link above looks more honest that this one:
http://www.cityofheroes.com/news/pat...y_release.html
The second one is how I would have written it had someone given me the first lot of info and said "Pad this out so it looks beefier." -
So I'll check it all out tomorrow.
Shame I'll have nothing to do on Friday though. -
Arc ID: 191922
The 5th Column are stirring and their numbers within the council swell. It's rumoured that they are re-examining abandoned WW2 projects involving raising the dead and combining them with machines in order to create an army of powerful soldiers. This old idea coupled with todays technology could, if successful, prove extremely dangerous for the entire world.

I've had no trouble (most of the time), despite dwindling numbers, over the last X number of issues running 8 man teams. I've said before in here it's been pretty easy. Keep your contacts up to date, keep firing out invites and keep the missions ticking over. Until now.
Non farming teams can't provide anywhere near the 'rewards' from farming MA missions. People will join my team and leave a mission later looking for a farm. And I can hardly blame them, you want the best possible xp from the game then why would you bother playing in my team?
What I do blame is the auto sk thing. I'm not sure but I'm assuming it would be an easy thing to fix. The devs have no interest in changing that though. The rate of levelling in the game currently means that more slots are being bought. It also allows them to rig the figures showing how many of the playerbase have lvl 50s.
I don't give a hoot if some people want to farm. Doesn't effect me in the slightest. What I do care about is when the MAJORITY are farming and all of a sudden that becomes the only desirable way to play the game. -

If you want a link to a larger version, that is able to be done.
No video or audio ads, sorry. The forum restrictions prevent it.

And what makes a good souvenir? Or have you a least favourite? Perhaps you even deleted it!
I think I'll mainly be using the MA as a lvl 50 as a sort of end game. If that's the case souvenirs seem to be the only thing I'll get. (OK so I'll get all the badges on my badger but on other alts badges are irrelevent...and yes yes I'll get the thrill, enjoyment and entertainment from your lovely story)
Long story short I'd like some cool souvenirs and I haven't seen much chat about them. So what's your best find, your worst find, which one did you not put in as someone else beat you to it, which did you not put in because it would get your arc pulled etc etc.
PS If you are going to talk about the actual souvenir from your own published arcs can you please do that whiteout thing for spoilers. Spoil my surprise and I'll spoil yer face! -
In terms of giving feedback there is a method that seems to be quite successful (apart from it's terrible name) called '2 Stars and a Wish' (bleh)
What you do is say 'I really liked/thought you did well in areas X and Y. However one area that I think could be improved/developed would be Z'
The word choice is up to you but basically it's: two positives followed by one constructive negative.
Now all you need to do is find two positives. Hope that helps. -
Some good stuff there Sojourn.
I started the same thread on the US forums and Soul_Train posted this flyer, I love it and wanted to share it here: (assuming he/she doesn't mind, publicity is publicity right?)

Sojourns right.
CactusBrawler and Black_Wildfire....The clue is in the board name... CREE....AYYY....TIV
Could it be any clearer? There are people actually making things to try and promote an arc...one of those things they are making, you might have heard of it, effort.
I assume you just couldn't be bothered. I'm sure that will reflect in your arcs.
I'll play them and mark them accordingly. -

MA-Arc-eting
I've been talking with a few people on here and in game about this and it seems that a few people have created flyers/posters/videos/general eye candy in order to promote and market their Mission Architect creations, as well as just for fun.
Anyone wishing to show off their glorious creations and start selling their arcs to us is invited to do so here.
Along with a link to your poster/flyer/video/etc pop up the following (optional) information which should be enough for interested players to find your mission easily within the system.
(As far as I know only one of the top two items would be needed for a player to find your arc)

The following is a couple of images from my new book in which I undertake a sociological study focusing on the deliniation of Hero and Villain controlled areas of a city based on local street art.
The book, "Paragon to the Dogs" is available in all good book stores, published by Ladybird Books.

Didn't there used to be a set of horns called imp horns?
Have they been removed? -
Good to know that it's kinda possible. Sounds a bit of a long route for a shortcut though. I'd like to see a simplified front end tool on the MA interface.
-
A similar thing to that which mid's uses to allow others to see your build.
However in this case it would be something that can be copied and pasted into the MA allowing you to recreate friends and/or foes sizes, costumes and colours to the last detail with just 2 or 3 clicks of the mouse. -

i find if you just send the tell "hi u lft all?" then immedietely send the invite regardless then you can fill a team in a mish or 2. I'm pretty sure thats not far off being a blind invite but noone has ever said anything.
[/ QUOTE ]
I take it all back. Tonight after sending an invite to 'player_x' I received a snotty tell regarding my rudeness.
player_x also suggested that no reply from him/her to the 'hi there, u lft at all?' meant 'not interested'.
After a lengthy discussion we came to the agreement that I would try not bother player_x in future. To ensure I was true to my word I popped player_x on global ignore.
2 minutes later a teammate said in team chat.........
"Player_x is lft"
I would suggest that Player_x had made his/her bed and that now he/she has to [censored] off in it. -
Thanks very much all, glad you liked them. I really enjoyed making it.
Although there was a weird moment when I was walked in on as I was burning classified UN documents in the bath. -
