Valorant

I've read and reread all of the rules and I can't see any problems with most of it. Some of the rationality is fuzzy, like why you can't use AE missions or Ouroboros, but for the most part, ok. Whatever.
My only real problem is that alts in this SG cannot interact in any real way with anyone outside it essentially taking it out of the Virtue shard.
My typical RP style is to take everything going on around me into account when I'm doing something. Yes, that even means keeping in mind what the crowd in AP is doing should I happen to be there for whatever reason.

All that said, I might consider trying this someday, should the restrictions on teaming be lifted. It's supposedly a dangerous world out there in Paragon City, but it's hard to see that with the constant reviving from things that shouldn't be possible.
I have in the past done some hardcore on smaller scales. Mostly be restricting myself to doing or not doing one thing or another.
One toon that couldn't use rez powers for any reason and had to use the base's medical center to recover from being defeated.
Another that isn't able to use the mission portals in Croatoa.

OK, I've never made an AE arc before but everything in my arc is working right so far except one piece.
In the third mission the players have to go in and stop my custom villain from destroying a standard character.

Since the standard character is Ghost Widow, and this mission happens in the Isles, I used Arachnos as my map's villain group.
Every time I test the mission, however, it ends in completion as soon as anyone steps onto the map. Don't have to go anywhere.

I've tried this in half a dozen ways now, and I've used all the testing tools, and it coems out the same every time.
I don't know what's wrong.

I have a second 'rescue the captive' mission later on, and that one works just fine....
