Its 6 missions long, published in two 3-mission arcs:

Title: The Audition
Arc ID: Part One is 221240 - Part Two's arc ID is given at the end of Part One
Creator’s Global Name: MrCaptainMan
Mission Count: Part One - 3 missions. Part Two - 3 missions
Notes – Intended audience is HIGH LEVEL, SOLO and HEROIC. It's VERY CHALLENGING so take lots of inspirs. Lots of text and clues. Players who like to read EVERYTHING won't be disappointed. Oh, and its quite funny imo

[/ QUOTE ]


Lowdown – Take the warning to play this arc at diff. 1 because I made the mistake of doing the first half at a higher diff and it crimped the fun for me (totally my fault). I did go back and replay it and the 2nd part at diff 1 and it was great! LOADED and I mean LOADED with humor. It was a good decision to split this into 2 3 parters because it allowed for a lot more customs, story and fun to be packed in.

Funny Level – Very Humorous to I have to change my panties again!

Fun Level - Varies from mish to mish, but fun through out. Personal fav was mish 4 (Part 2, 1). Mish 6 is is also a killer.

Let’s up it to 11! – I think a few of the maps could stand to be smaller. The last custom group has dark and rad minions which was a bit much.

Overall Rating – A must play for anyone that likes humor arcs and easily one of the best humor arcs I have reviewed so far.

This is my attempt to simulate the Atlas Park sewer team experience for villains thru the AE.

[/ QUOTE ]

I made a mish with this same concept that is for villains 1-14. I made it back in open Beta and moved it over to my 2nd account on live. It has been really well received though with no ability to search by level it currently is hard for people to find it. I know there is at least one other that is the same concept. Anyways, here is the info.

Name: : The Rogue Isles Sewer Systems
Arc ID: 16793
Creator Global Name: @Wrong Number
Difficulty Level: Easy-Medium
Synopsis: Why is it that those stinkin heroes have that sweet sewer system and we villains don't? Well my little noobling here's your chance to grab a few of your villain wannabe friends and run the sewers or, just venture down there solo....if you have the guts for it.
Number of EB/AVS – 0
Story Type – Utility (Leveling)
Mission Count: 1
Estimated Time to Play: about 15 minutes

NOTE - This mission is intended to be an answer to the lack of a sewer in CoV. It is made for levels 1-14 and my hopes is that it can be repeat run as needed at the lower levels.

Edit - I want to be clear this is just FYI and I am not looking for a critique.

Title: The History of Statesman
Arc ID: 219484
Creator’s Global Name: @jjac
Mission Count: 4

[/ QUOTE ]


Lowdown – This arc is based on the supposed future's version of Statesman's history. As you might expect they got a "few" of the details wrong here and there . The humor in this arc is mostly of the silliness variety with puns and reference galore. Special mention to the overall great charter designs in all of the missions (I really loved the WWII ones).

Funny Level – Silly, silly and more silly. Quite Humorous

Fun Level - A definite "E" ticket ride

Let’s up it to 11! – The Hero that helps you in mish 2 and 3 does too much of the heavy lifting for my liking. The dirt piles click time is way to long for anyone to ever click them (they are optional)

Overall Rating – One to add to your humor queue especially if you like silly humor.


WN

Happy birthday Jail.bird.! Love ya!

Title: Ctrl + Alt + Reset (although temporarily has a longer title tied to my City Scoop article about it)
Arc ID: 137561
Creator’s Global Name: @Bubbawheat
Mission Count: 4
Notes: lvl range 15-30, somewhat serious story just with lots of humor bits thrown around. Nothing above a boss. Also, had one report after my recent update that one of my objectives didn't spawn in the last mission. It worked for me afterwards, but I thought I'd mention it.

[/ QUOTE ]


Lowdown – Bubba, Bubba, Bubba, you submit this arc to me for a humor review when there is very little in the way of humor in it. Are you expecting me to not mention how clever it is or how engaging? Do you want me to ignore the excellent concept and near perfect execution? Well. sorry to disappoint you.

Funny Level – Mildly Humorous

Fun Level - Extremely fun and it will suck you in

Let’s up it to 11! – The only thing I would add is that in your last series of foes neither the minion or the Lt. had a custom bio

Overall Rating – Honestly, one of the best and most enjoyable arcs I have played in MA. It may not be big in the humor department, but you owe it to yourself to play this arc.


WN

This arc has been updated!

- Lowered Weirdo's (Lts.) difficulty to standard/standard

- Added individual bios for all the hostages

- Lowered final bosses difficulty

Arc Name: The Invasion of the Space Ape Armada
Arc ID: 81043
Morality: Heroic
Factions: Custom (x2! Well, x1.5 >_&gt
Difficulty Level: Moderate to Hard. Mission 2 has an EB who may or may not have spawned next to an optional boss.

[/ QUOTE ]

Lowdown – It seems I have gotten a few missions like this one, that is, a mission I like that is low on humor. This arc is derivative of the Planet of the Apes movies (some of my childhood favs!) and as that, it delivers. Humor wise, I felt that there was little to be found other than some dialog and the names of the various ape commanders.

Funny Level – Mildly Humorous

Fun Level - A bucket of monkeys

Let’s up it to 11! – The bosses seem ripe for humor bios, I would tone down the ambushes a bit and you could easily change the contact to someone more humorous.

Overall Rating – An arc that is worth playing especially if you are an Apes fan. However, if you are looking for a strictly humor based arc you may be disappointed.

I ran your arc and though solid play wise I felt the humor was much more suited for a male audience. So, I am using a life line and calling in a guest reviewer, Hellguard.

For your 32 or 40 any of the below that strikes your fancy should be fine.

Arc Name: Pirate's Quest: A Tale of Sound and Fury
Arc ID: 217930
Morality: Heroic
Factions: Almost all of them ( I kid you not ), Custom
Difficulty Level: Moderate to Hard. Mission 4 has EB/AV.
Synopsis : In your private residence., you discover an old chest with a treasure map inside. Worried about who left it, and the possible disclosure of your secret identity, you resolve to get to the bottom of the mystery.
( Keywords: Pirate, Humor, Comedy )

[/ QUOTE ]

Lowdown – This arc is all around goodness! The customs were some of the best looking I have seen and it was a shame they did not have bios. The arc featured funny and clever writing (lol's at one of the first mish objectives). You felt engaged through out and the four mishes pasted quickly. A word of warning, I played on a scrapper and thought a few times I would have been in a world of hurt had I not been so tough.

Funny Level – Milk through the nostrils!

Fun Level - Fun-tas-tic!

Let’s up it to 11! – The last map was a pain and I wasted several minutes searching for the last party to break up. Arr, where be the pirates bios?

Overall Rating – Despite a a few minor wrinkles that I am sure will be ironed out (I was only the second play on it) it is very fun and I would consider it a "must play" for those that love humor based arcs.

[/ QUOTE ]

Lowdown – It's a floor wax! No it's a dessert topping! No wait, it's both! That is kinda how I felt running this arc. It went from humor to drama to humor to drama though it did lean a bit more towards the humor. In any case I felt it was not firmly in the humor camp though the camp is just over the hill. The Daytime customs were nice and amusing. The contact's dialog is very good and some of the funnest bits of the arc.

Funny Level – What the???? - Humorous

Fun Level - A day at the beach

Let’s up it to 11! – The rescue in the last mish desperately needs her own bio! The supernatural elements need to be funnyed up.

Overall Rating – Worth a play, though I feel there is a very funny arc here just waiting to bust out.

As far as the humor goes, to be fair its not just a humor arc; its also supposed to be a challenging arc as well. But sure I can go in and tweak up some of the funny. I do like your Knock Knock suggestions and will work on that.

[/ QUOTE ]

I understand the challenge aspect is part of it, but of course my reviews focuses on the Ha Ha. What I really should have said was "A decent arc with lot's of humor potential, but it still need some work in that area."

Title: Coulrophobia (Fear of Clowns)
Arc ID: 1178
Creator’s Global Name: @Mental Maden
Mission Count: 5
Notes – very difficulty sensitive. It can and has been solo'd but a team is recommended. If you want an easy ride don't bump the difficulty. If you want a challenge, crank it up.


[/ QUOTE ]

Lowdown – For an arc about clowns I was expecting a non-stop joke fest and though this arc is reasonable well written, the humor is on the light side. On the plus side the customs are all well done appearance wise and all have bios that rhyme in a humorous fashion (I do feel that the Big Bad should have broken this mold and gave more info). I did like the concept of a character's named Knock-knock and wish his dialog was a series of bad knock knock jokes. Still, the story and contact's dialog was solid throughout.

Funny Level – A cheap ride at the local fair

Fun Level - Varied

Let’s up it to 11! – More funny in the clues (don't tell me it is a ransom note, show it), add more variety to patrol dialog, give the objects some humor test, consider combining two mission into one or dropping one to up the pace.

Overall Rating – A decent arc with lot's of humor potential, but it still need some work in that area.

Edit- There now I said it

Thanks for the nice review!

Story
For a one mission joke arc, it's pretty solid. All of the knockoffs are pretty amusing, and have amusing descriptions. The only thing that really could improve it is more jokes. More jokes is always a good thing.

[/ QUOTE ]

I added humorous bios to the hostages which is something I should have had from the start. Thanks to Elisenda for this suggestion.

[ QUOTE ]
Mechanics
The weirdos have rage? Footstomp can't be that important. You should put them back on standard. While the +80% damage isn't too bad on a lieutenant, the +20% to hit is bad news for anyone who gets by with defense. Squishies are probably also going to thank you if you change this.

[/ QUOTE ]

I actually had thought I had changed this before, but sure enough you are right. I have since knocked them down to Standard.

[ QUOTE ]
Same with the boss, Copy Cat. He's got Fiery Embrace and I'm pretty sure I saw him use build up. Plus, he's got a fire primary. Fiery Embrace doesn't add any to hit, but +100% damage on a boss hits like a truck, and it lasts for 20 seconds instead of 10. And if he does have build up as well, then it's pretty much pain city for anyone who doesn't have resistance.

[/ QUOTE ]

This is something I get mixed comments about, but there has been enough for me to try a change. I put his attacks down to Standard, but left his defenses at Hard. Dropping it to standard losses his mez protection which I feel would make him way too easy.

[ QUOTE ]
Final Thoughts
Pretty good mission. It's definitely amusing, but come in prepared for trouble against the boss and watch out for those Weirdos.

[/ QUOTE ]

Maybe sometime when you get a chance give it another shot and see if those changes bump it up to 5 stars for you.

Title: Can You Win The Internet?
Arc ID: 885544
Creator’s Global Name: @twelfth
Mission Count: 4 (w/ one defeat all)
Notes – Arc thread is here.


[/ QUOTE ]


Lowdown – This arc featured great customs, great writing and some really great humor. The contact dialog is classic I especially enjoyed the last mission intro text. Of the missions the third was my personal fave, but they all were solid. The last boss with his ambushes were tough, but you are clearly warned.

Funny Level – Very humorous to ROTFLMAO

Fun Level - More fun than a barrel of monkeys!

Let’s up it to 11! – The custom with the bramble patch needs to loose it. I spent too much time waiting on that thing. You may want to remove the defeat all on mish three. It did not bother me, but it was a big map and some people hate those.

Overall Rating – A great, funny, well written arc. Do yourself a favor and play it.


WN

Just a couple of things (and I hate being a stickler!).

- Please be sure to review the first post of this thread and follow the instructions before submitting an arc to the queue.

- Please Either use the format l layed out to submit the review or at least be sure everything in my format is also covered in yours (Some are missing global IDs for example).

Thanks!

Title: A Lame Joke
Arc ID: 22982
Creator’s Global Name: @Elisenda
Mission Count: 2

[/ QUOTE ]

Lowdown – This arc is LOADED with humor, jokes, puns, etc. ranging for LOL to grooooaaaan. It features an entirely custom group with lots of dialog and humorous bios. My one small complaint about them is that I wish they were a little more varied in appearance. Both missions of the arc feature an ally who I feel is a bit too strong. I found here right off the bat and ended mission one with only a ten ticket bonus. These complaints are really minor and don’t detract much for the arc.

Funny Level – Groans to almost peeing your pants funny

Fun Level – A day at Disneyland with no lines

Let’s up it to 11! – Tone down the ally and maybe spruce up the minions and Lt.s. The contact does not talk the way it does in game which may really bother some people.

Overall Rating – Now THAT’S Comedy!

Title: A Voyage Fantastic
Arc ID: 81829
Creator’s Global Name: @Stalemate
Mission Count: 2
Notes: This arc has been revised a few times now to adapt to map errors, critter behavior, etc. It's still lacking the added immersion of renamed mobs (since it uses existing ingame mobs) but that shouldn't be too immersion breaking. It sits at just under 20% resource usage. While the last mission can be soloed successfully with some ATs, failure is taken into account as a likely game ending and end dialogues reflect that.

[/ QUOTE ]


Lowdown – This arc features extremely creative uses of maps and standard characters. There are humor elements through out and the contact is, well, interesting in his take on the situation and you. During the second mission it was apparent that battles had been going on, but with what or why I have no clue since I only ever saw the victors. The big bad was a surprise, but I found the ambushes that arrived while I fought him a bit much.

Funny Level – Mildly Humorous to Humorous

Fun Level - This arc was engaging and fun until the final battle (which involved 3 trips back through a huge map).

Let’s up it to 11! – Tone down the ambushes or make it a defeat the boss only, insert a few more humor based customs and some color into your briefings.

Overall Rating – This arc is worth playing for it design alone and it is at least mildly humorous throughout.
