Mission 1 is supposed to be a lie. Like he thinks there are COT but in reality there are not.

[/ QUOTE ]

Then in that case I would expand what he says. In other words something like "I expected Lemurians but I'm honestly surprised that there were no CoT." Since he doesn't actually mention the lack of Circle it seems like they just didn't spawn.

Hrmm perhaps I shall throw a pat in there!

Ok played it. It was a good solid arc, pretty much like one of the better standard regular game arcs. The challenges were tough but not overwhelming. I gave it 4 stars.

Now to pick nits.

Mission 1: The contact said the place was crawling with CoT, but there wasn't a single CoT to be found.

Mission 2: If you are going to have multiple patrols with dialogue then it's a good idea to create them as separate patrols rather than just multiples of one patrol. The problem with multiples of one patrol is they all repeat the same dialogue and it begins to sound like a joke that is being passed around the office "Why did the chicken cross the road?" "To fight the Three Fold King."

3rd Mission: This office only actually has about 4 spawn points for hostages or glowies. So when you put in multiple glowies and multiple hostages it's a guarantee that one of the rooms at least is going to be a bit crowded. First room I entered had all the objectives except 1 hostage and 1 glowie. Each of those missing ones wound up in a room of its own. I suggest either finding a different map or reducing it to one hostage.

5th Mission: In the intro to the 5th mission one of the sentences is "I won't like to you name." I suspect that you meant it to be "I won't lie to you $name."

I guess that's pretty much it other than random chance playing a part. Like I said, overall a solid story and the Lemurians were a well thought out and interesting group.

My arc is 113956 "The Devs must die!"

I am thinking of changing the 3rd mission to a bigger map. Good suggestion

I may split the patrols up, or lower the amount.

Mission 1 is supposed to be a lie. Like he thinks there are COT but in reality there are not.

As for the 5th mish, thanks for pointin that out :P Spelling and grammer sometimes get the better of me.

*sigh* I had to redo my Arc

Name: Return of the Three Fold King
Arc ID: 163274
Total Mission: 5
Level: 1-50 (20+ suggested)
Length: (Hour to 1.5 hours total)
Enemy Types: Arachnos, Tuatha de Dannon, Custom
Description: Professor John Cramer has put out a call for heroes. He has found the location of a missing Lemurian Artefact and needs the assistance of a real hero to retrieve it. However, this simple mission unearths a much more dangerous event: The Return of the Three Fold King.

Hey Police Woman, I got a new Arc ID for the Three Fold King (stupid issues) and need to update it.

Its now 163274.

Thanks.

I had to lose all my ratings *sniffles* I actually had 6 plays with a 4star rating!

Ok so I am having to remake this thread, as I have revised my arc HEAVILY and had to unpublish and republish it. FEH! Anyone who previously played my arc, don't worry, I still got your names and I will still play yours.

Anyway, after heavily revising my arc, I ran into an issue where it would not save published (stupid collection trick) and thankfully was saved as an Autosave. So, the arc itself is VERY different (story wise) then previously.

The arc I am wanting played through is called "Return of the Three Fold King".

Its a 5 arc story based creation, fairly serious. I would not play it with anyone under level 20, due to the strength of the custom enemies. I was able to finish the first 2 missions on my level 13 Scrapper, but I am fairly sure lower levels would have a SERIOUS issue. (And I am using the standard level powers on my customs, save for the Boss level ones eheh)

So here is the basic deal:
You play mine. Leave me feedback here and also leave me a feedback note in game so I know you actually played it. The in game feedback can be as simple as "Check your Forum Post".

Please try to rate it. I want an honest opinion if possible.

With your feedback here, leave me your arc number. Be aware of the following: I play solo, I have access to a level 34 SS/WP Brute, a level 28 FM/WP Scrapper, and my current and preferred character, a level 15 DM/WP Scrapper. I will play Heroic stuff on my brute cause I quite frankly don't care.

Here is the arc info!

Current People I owe a Review To:

Shield Shocker - Arc 153323 White Collar Crime (IN PROGRESS)
Pogothulu - Arc *UNKNOWN* use global @Pogoman
Capt Amazing - Arc 1033 The Wool Over One's Eyes

If any of you have played my arc (Including YOU Heroic) and want to try it again, with the improvements, please do, and I will re-review your arc with a different character (if you made changes as well)

Thanks in advance!

One trick I found for the item collection, if ya want to randomize it, is to make 2 different item collections, 1 required, 1 not, and to have only 1 item in the required set, and the others in the non required.

Make sure of course they have similar names (I added a space to the none required ones at the end) and BAM, you got multiple items but only 1 that is the real one!

Morality: Heroic!

Ok, I made an arc in the MA and just to prove how Strong and Pretty WM/EA is, I made the Final Boss (an EB) a WM/EA Brute.

He took me down in 2 strikes.

SO STRONG AND PRETTY

Hey PoliceWoman! Can I have you test a different arc then the one I suggested earlier?

*points to his Sig* Its the one named "Return of the Three Fold King" Its a 5 mission story based arc series. Noncomedy, fairly "serious"

If not, its no biggie

Annnnd that was it.

I had this error, it turned out to be caused by a Free Captive event I placed using a random bad guy from a default villain group and went away when I deleted the event.

[/ QUOTE ]

I do have a random Free Captive event! Thanks! Lets see if that will fix it...

I just finished a 5 mission arc, story and all, and want to test it. I have a custom enemy group that is the majority of the foes the player will fight during the arc...

When I go to test, I just get an "Invalid Level Range" error. Any suggestions or ideas as to what this blasted error means, since it tells me nothing.

The Once and Future King wasnt bad either. I just finished it.

But once again, the Ally you get (Blue Steel) is crazy strong. He made the missions easy.

Also, the 4th mission has a crazy amount of glowies that you HAVE to check. It made me go GRRRR

I know someone posted a utility that would strip extras out of an MA Arc to reduce its size, and I cant figure out where it was posted.

I want to make sure that this arc I am working on doesn't go over the limit, and was curious about this program. Also, I am not sure exactly how the program works as I kinda glossed over the original topic.

I should totally make a WM/EA.

Cause I totally want to be so strong and so pretty :O

Arc Name: The Shiny One Cometh
Arc ID: 120626
Faction: Heroic
Creator Global/Forum Name: @Stomphoof
Difficulty Level: Medium
Synopsis: A magical disturbance leads to a traveller, who simply wishes to find a way back home. Can you help him in his quest?

It could be played as a villain, because its really not lore based. It would be extra silly that way though.

I will take a look at one of yours tomorrow (Sunday) using my Brute. He can take on just about anything

Thanks in advance!

Is there a way to set a custom boss to be an EB during solo play, but an Archvillain during Team or Max Difficulty play? Does it automatically scale it down?

[/ QUOTE ]

Archvillains normally scale down to elite boss when playing on less than the highest difficulty rating solo.

[/ QUOTE ]

So on the lowest Diff they would still be an EB and not a boss?

I am at a loss as to how the rewards system works. Do you get XP, Inf, Drops, and these Tickets? Or what?

[/ QUOTE ]

You get normal XP, influence and inspiration drops from defeating enemies. Any other drops are replaced by tickets. You don't get the big end-of-mission XP and inf bonus, but you get a ticket bonus instead. Also, patrol XP doesn't seem to apply to AE missions.

[/ QUOTE ]

I think I understand.

When I browse the arcs, do I see things JUST from my server, or all servers?

[/ QUOTE ]

All servers.

[ QUOTE ]
Also, I made a custom boss and I didnt get a badge for it... Is that normal? The sticky says there is a badge for it, but I am not sure why I didn't get it.

[/ QUOTE ]

You need to publish an arc with a custom boss to get the badge.

[/ QUOTE ]

That would explain it. I haven't published it yet.

So I just resubbed, came back after a long time away, and instantly dove into the Architect. I am actually making an arc (5 missions, 3 are done) and I wanted to ask some questions.

1. Is there a way to set a custom boss to be an EB during solo play, but an Archvillain during Team or Max Difficulty play? Does it automatically scale it down? (I usually play on the 1st to 3rd diff setting, not higher) so I wanted to know I could make something an AV if needed.

2. I am at a loss as to how the rewards system works. Do you get XP, Inf, Drops, and these Tickets? Or what?

3. When I browse the arcs, do I see things JUST from my server, or all servers?

Thanks in advance for any help you can give me. The actual help files and the FAQ on the site are very good and generally answer MOST of my questions.

Also, I made a custom boss and I didnt get a badge for it... Is that normal? The sticky says there is a badge for it, but I am not sure why I didn't get it.

Shields are not as pretty as EA. END OF STORY

WM + EA = GOD

*shakes head*

Sometimes I wonder...sometimes.

Oh, and Playskool is being serious. He made a Warmace/EA Brute, and I made a Thugs/Traps MM to go with it.

Greasers FTW! :O
