I went ahead and made the change to "Find Bright Angel" this morning while correcting the typos Eva found.

Brawler, I'm really sorry, I somehow totally missed your awesome review. Old age I guess...in any case thank you very much for the great detailed feedback. I think I may have already addressed most of the points you made in responding to others, however I don't think anyone else has raised the question of it saying "Defeat Blight Angel" in the last mission and that is an interesting thought. Maybe something like "Defeat New ILRecruit" or something. I have to think on it a bit. Again, thank you!

Known MA BUG. He is set to remain in place and about 75% of the time does, but when the bug kicks in he follows.

This must be part of the known betrayal MA BUG. I've never had it happen to me or even heard of this happening in this arc before (you must be "lucky" I guess). Berle is set to turn when Blappy is at 1/4 health which is in line with what you thought and of course makes stopping Blappy tougher.

You, that's a typo and will be fixed by the time you read this.

It's to illustrate her state of mental unbalance and her total slip into madness.

Thanks again for the feedback and for playing the arc!


WN

Actually, when they introduced the ability to control what powers your custom characters have and therefore increase/decrease their reward values, in general rewards went up. I know most characters in my arcs are at 90-100% when they used to be set at 75%.


WN

What enemies were you fighting before that gave the superior ticket drops?

I agree, it's not really much of a humor arc (so much so that I thought of removing the humor tag from it). It's really a origin story with drama and a little humor thrown in. This was one of the reasons I thought about removing the humor tag, people see it and expect non-stop jokes which is not this arc at all.

"Henchmen for Hire" are not a group at all, just a bunch of out of work henchmen. The Injustice Legion has a clear back story that is mentioned numerous times through out the arc in a variety of places. Did you feel the group was not clear in what sort of villains it was made up of or is there something else?

I will definitively take a look at him.

This arc is by far the most text heavy arc of all of my arcs and that was on purpose due to the fact it was for one of Dr. Aeon's contests. It's well known at this point that he wants graphic novel type stories over comic book ones, so I added more information than I even like reading myself. That said, some people like that sort of writing like Dr. Aeon, and others like us don't. So this is my arc for the over the top detail lovers out there.

Thanks so much, I'm happy you had fun playing it.


WN

I made many changes based on your mini-review most of which are already detailed in your thread so no reason to even re-post since that's out of date or replay since I've told you what I did.

WN

This did not work for me.


UPDATE - I did the above and in addition rebooted the computer after and was able to log on.


WN

What the what!?! That's awesome and a pleasant surprise.


WN

No one else does either as far as I know. At least I certainly don't as demonstrated by the various threads I have started to addressed the many issues in MA like the ratings system, HoF and the search feature.

As far as people right now being busy with I19 goes, while that is true it's neither here nor there since there is always new stuff like I16, I17, I18, etc. Bottom line is if MA problems are not addressed and if MA is not included in new issues, it will crumble more as time goes on.


WN

It will eventually become noticeable when authors they like start leaving or just can't/won't write new arcs. I do feel this would be much less of a problem if the hour or so it would take to lower HoF was spent and if DCs were actually awarded regularly by more than one person.


WN

I'm really sad to hear this, but completely understand where you are coming from being fed up. I suspect this will get more common as we move forward if actions are not taken.

Even though a couple of my arcs are hanging on for now, I've been out of arc slots for going on six months now. As Eva hinted at, new maps or NPCs are low on the MA want/need list and not so useful to many of us that are out of slots.

I've really hoped that some comments would be made about the numerous critical issues in MA. We have discussed them to death and come up with lots of creative solutions. Some of these, like lowering HoF would be easy to implement. It's hard for me to understand why what many consider a jewel of CoX is seemingly ignored.


WN

Well, I can certainly speak to successful MA promotion. To promote MA I have:

- Created the MA Arc Finder Channel

- Created and ran the MA Super Team. For the first six months I was leading the team through MA arcs three times a week.

- Hosted PERC MA related events

- Helped with several others to run the Bubbawheat created PC Awards

- Ran review threads

- I've also run events to promote my own arcs. For example the "Death to Disco! 400th" that incorporated promoting some aspect of MA too (in that case the MA Arc Finder channel)

I have many, many more ideas for promoting MA including forming a player run MA Promotional committee. However, I've been holding off because of lack of Dev interest in MA and my personal lack of slots despite authoring some of the highest player rated arcs in MA. These have caused my interest in MA and CoH in general to wane. I don't think I'm alone in these feelings.
