Was able to solo with my 50 Warshade. CoT mobs are overused in the actual game, imo- so perhaps make up custom mobs to go with the bosses. First boss was a good challenge for the WS, but did the second have the same name, inspite of what the Intro said? A little more backstory in the mish intro's and I think you'll have a good MA here.

My MA for consideration:
Arc Name: The Maltese Bird of Prey
Arc ID: 207827
Faction: Neutral
Diff Level: 37-50
Playtime: 30-60 mins

A film noir tale of treachery, deceit and a prized object d'art. Custom critters, bosses and one particularly large EB.

Thank you for your review! Just so you know, this mission was just an introduction. I have 3-4 followup arcs that I'm working on (the next installment is actually pretty much done, still testing it a bit.) This is the only one that will be using a non-custom group as the primary villain group.

You were right, the first two bosses did have the same name. As many times as I've gone over this one mission, I'm surprised I didn't catch that. I'll be editing and republishing it tonight.

A lot of the storyline for this series of arcs is meant to keep you in the dark a bit. Especially in this one. Pretty much, all you should have really gathered from this arc was that you are being asked by a rather odd old man who has had his daughter kidnapped. Throughout the missions, you learn that the Circle of Thorns are studying some kind of monster in efforts of eradicating the species. In the end, you discover that they believe Olivia, the damsel in distress, to be the monster they are looking for, and it is for you to debate whether or not to believe the primary contact and his daughter or the group of villains that you've loved to hate throughout your superhero career.

All of the missions that I will be writing will be considered easy or even non-challenging, but my goal is for the bosses to be at least challenging enough to be fun. My reasoning behind that is because I want players of all levels and AT's to be able to play through the missions in at least a solo environment so that they can enjoy the storyline.

For the upcoming missions, I have created several minions (well..4 so far, but I'm really no where near finished), 2 lieutenant, 2 bosses, 1 elite boss, and 2 arch villains, 1 of which will be occurring in different forms throughout the plot.

---------------------------------------------------------------

As for your arc, I spent a good 25 minutes in the first level trying to find the objective, which was about 15 minutes after playing with the mobs. After that period, I sort of just gave up. It looked like it would have been a lot of fun too.

I'd really appreciate it if you would review this, considering for some reason I can't seem to get anyone to. It's been up for a week or so now, and the only one who has even played it is me and my alts.

I've been trying to get someone...anyone...to review this arc for nearly a week now. So far the only person who has ever played it is me. And my alts.

I would actually appreciate it if you gave mine a shot and left me a little critique. Look up # 216693. I've played it with a level 20, 12, and 5, and I feel that it works rather well. If you are interested in the story, it leaves at quite the cliffhanger, due to the fact that I am working on far more. It is 3 missions long, so shouldn't take too long, especially at low levels.

Please rate when you are finished. And again, I'd appreciate any critique as this is my first arc.

I'm currently trying to write a story, and have already made a custom enemy group. Now, there is really just a few problems that I'm having. One, I have created this group with 1 Lieutenant type, and 4 minion types. When I test play the mission, the mob groups that I get is a group of 3, 2 of the Lieutenants and one random mob. Shouldn't it be the other way around if it even spawns the Lieutenant? I'm testing this out with a level 20 on the default difficulty settings.

Another thing, the difficulty on my minions are insane! I have them all on easy as far as what skills they can do, but they are still incredibly difficult when I perceived to be making trash mobs to keep my mission interesting. Is there a way where you can give them just brawl and some random ranged ability to kind of keep the overall difficulty down where it is suitable for lower levels? I earned my Virtual Victim badge real fast testing these guys out.

To sum all of this up, I think my main issues are that my minions are pretty much as difficult as my Lieutenants, while my Lieutenants are at the difficulty that I want. That and I am curious if there is a way to control the amount of Lieutenants to Minion ratio so that the Minions will be fought much more frequently than the Lieutenants. This whole thing is making me scared to add more Lieutenant types or any Boss+ types.

Thanks for any help, I'm sure I overlooked something stupid, as I was trying to do this at 6AM with no sleep.
