Mutant is my usual, it pretty much covers every/any thing and works better for me since I like to flesh out bios after I've been playing any given character I make for a bit to get to know them. I have and will use others if I really know before hand I want a certain theme.

The one of every AT goal was a fun one I just finally achieved last month. Found out I absolutely loathe playing my peacebringer which sadly surprised me since I adore my warshade (both Tri-form). The widow and crab were fun, personally the fortunata and bane weren't quite as enjoyable. Moving on from epics I'd highly recommend a couple of my absolute favorites:

Sonic/kinetics corruptor-awesome synergy of sets;felt like 50 came too fast and that was mostly solo.

Electric Armor/Fire Melee brute-I have WP/SS & FM/Claws as well but always fall back to this. Great Resists and great damage; and oddly enough I don't even have fire breath.

Plant/fire dominator-have this one perma'd and love watching the chaos unfold.

Radiation/psy blaster-the only blaster I've ever found fun to play, but since I hate playing blasters in general you may want to listen to others for that! She was my first completely 4 tiered incarnate and I still love playing her too though.

It's a fun goal, hope you enjoy reaching it!

Malaise WAS the hottest male npc in-game so now it's pretty much just Jimmy Temblor and goatee universe BABs in my opinion. We need a lot more male eye-candy it seems since only 4-5 names keep showing up on this thread.

Oh my gosh I am super excited these are finally out!!!! Sorry to all those who dislike (to put mildly) the gambling packs but this is exactly the kind of thing I love to buy (love buying Heroclixs and most CCGs) and I have been waiting patiently to have something I want to spend points on for a while now. Thank you thank you thank you for getting this out!!!

With luck and time there'll be a secondary option for those who only want the costume so we can all be happy. Even though currently it seems to be a "no" I've seen a lot of things in the game change so it's hard to take the "no" as a permanent one. Crossing my fingers for you all who want it since I'll buy the packs either way. =)

It felt like the whole thing was all kinds of crazy myself. Even if you justify it as a test run driven by obsessive grief it's out there to me. Didn't help that I'm currently leveling a hero for a change. Seriously, even with my life on the line it felt dirty to be breaking and entering to steal the needed items. When the first mission briefing was done I wanted the option to get Liberty counseling and stop her crazy plan.

As nice as it is to have new missions (and geez do I feel bad criticizing them since my story writing skills are horrid) this is one that won't be seeing play from me again (and I didn't even get the debuff). Sorry to whoever spent the time writing/organizing it; I'm positive I've liked/loved a lot of other stuff you've written!

Saw this thread a week ago and tonight decided to log in on every character and add up an exact amount out of curiousity. My account is a solid D with 3,547,969,639 INF. It'd be a ton more if I weren't obsessed with min/maxing all my 50ies. Hopefully you get a lot more responses, very interesting to see the replies!

I am EXTREMELY introverted (looks at post count and joined date). Have been playing 7+ years and have maybe 4-5 players listed as global friends. Had more but none play anymore.

Must be I'm the exception to your thoughts because I absolutely love playing Lambda (not that SLAM garbage), the BAF, and Keyes. Have yet to try the newer trials, but think they'll be fun too. I enjoy them because I can easily get stuff done and blend into the crowd. I don't have to be popular or cool or social to get in on them either.

Not sure if anyone else feels like I do, but figured I'd offer my 2 cents. =)

I actually did the same exact thing last night and freaked...until I checked the help tab. You can create a new tab and drag it over (a 4th tab appears like Global, help, combat). As you drag it a divider will re-appear. Then assign what used to be there to that tab and you're good to go. Glad it wasn't just me. =)

Sounds reasonable, but I especially think:

"Non iTrial enemies rewarding reduced amounts of iXP"

is an interesting idea. Even if it is a tiny amount like prestige (maybe a little higher/but nothing that could be done in a few hours or overnight) that would be neat if they could add this for enemies 50 and over.

That would be awesome when doing a ton of flashbacks.

I'm not fond of having to leave the zone to change my difficult because my characters can handle different challenges at different levels...tend to not handle +2s-+4s as well in the teens as at 50 for instance.

Yeah, I've only been allowed 5 per day per character as well. I'm assuming you mean if I were teaming I could join others tip missions as well after my 5? Unfortunately teaming is not always an option personally (darn real life sometimes ) so I actually was unaware of that and thank you for pointing it out as another option.

But my request really isn't about tip missions subbing for newspaper/radio missions. All I'm requesting is Knives/Ruluu/etc in the same exact kidnap/boss defeat/glowie format they have in place now. Goodness, they could use the same text and just switch a couple boss names...I fail to see much difference between a KOA saying Silver Mantis is hot than some of the robots/creatures that do now for instance.

Yes, I meant PPD...was well past my bedtime so apologies for the oversight! But you know, there could always be signs of corruption in the ranks...but that'd be more of a tips category mission anyways.

And yeah, with their own zone I'd like to keep them there with regards to the Romans, not so much with Rikti since they're kind of everywhere anyways so can't see that hurting or taking away from the RWZ. Personally it'd be nice to not have a timer for their missions, but just my opinion.

The tip missions are great fun, but there's that whole limit thing of only 5 a day. Sometimes I just get stuck in that whole brute smash mentality and run more than 10 missions some nights, you know? It's not reward orientated for me personally, it's all about blowing off some steam some nights. Nights I'm not in that mode I tend to cycle through more alts and have more options but I digress. (I'm not interested in the limit changing on tip missions either by the way, think it's good where it is.)

Newspaper missions are convient for me after running contact stuff at 50. But a couple days ago I was really wanting to fight some Knives without flashing back or AE and then thought, wouldn't that be killer if they came up in newspaper missions? Surely if Malta can show up they can too...and geez would fighting Wailers at level 50 be crazy fun. How about Ruluu (sp?) or Rikti? Admittedly I could live without Freaks or Nemesis...but in the interest of fairness they should be mentioned too.

I realize some groups do not go up to 50 and can respect that limitation, but why not more variety and include more of the groups that do go that high? Heroside it makes sense to exclude PD (I guess). Well, that and perhaps the Romans should stay in Rome. With the abandon feature it'd seem like adding more groups wouldn't be as big of a deal but maybe I'm missing something?

You have my sympathies. My son is almost 11, actually is autistic, just started to play the game, and doesn't jump around like a monkey for kicks. I would have been fuming! You also are under no obligation to reveal your child's age to anyone in game...goodness knows there are plenty of adults who can't play super perfect either. So don't let them ruin your fun. You both know it was lag and you cannot fix stupid. Hopefully you got their global and can avoid teaming with him/her in the future.

Like to start off by saying I'm not and, as a mom with special needs children, will likely never be a hardcore pvper. It's nice to play around with it a bit here and there...well, used to be for me anyways.

Since issue 13 there's nothing that I like personally about it anymore unless you want to count the fact that it's now easier to get badges in pvp zones because no one is there to fight you other than NPCs (that's really not a plus for pure pvpers I'm sure). It took me a while to figure out the initial system and the current is not nearly as fun so I'm in little to no hurry to figure it out (admittedly am still a bit bitter over no base raids) and genuinely look forward to some changes in the next year or so. If it were more fun again (not necessarily pre-13 just more fun!) I'd go back to dabbling in it. Sorry if that isn't quite what you're looking for, just how I feel and wanted my two cents in. Best of luck trying to find the best way to bring back the fun devs even if it isn't on the front burner...or even one of the back burners yet!

Just a follow up, would have been sooner but had stuff going on. Got a response e-mail saying my account now has the martial arts pack a little over an hour ago, logged in and have the new shinies now. Very happy with my new toys and hope the OP has theirs too. =)

I could get on board with a few as micro-transaction options too. Wasn't thinking about that when I started this thread.

And, MunkiLord, I agree 100% with you on not as year 80 rewards. =) Kinda why I suggested they be added with earlier rewards that already exist. (figured 9 months as being soon yet not too soon-but odds are the powers that be would have a better idea if that's feasible than me). I was in a hurry and did not make that terribly clear.

I understand exclusive items, don't mind that I don't live on the West coast or that I can't afford to travel to get there. Well, okay maybe I mind a smidge or it wouldn't have occurred to me to post. =) It might be cool if there was a way to tie some of the costumes to the vet rewards (not all, but a couple or even some new/varient ones). Like add one at 9 months in addition to what is at 9 months or something along those lines?

Just throwing out a random thought I had, my apologies if someone else already has asked this. Nothing in search jumped out at me.

Okay, I was about to go through and update the list.

At this point, the list still serves the purpose of "we're badgers and we have arcs, we're looking for interesting things to play, and we'd like to support other badgers."

If you do NOT want your arc in the list, please PM and I'll remove it.
If you DO... well, just let me know if there's any changes.

If you don't care.. hey, just leave it.

For the rest.. sure, they're removing badges. Does that invalidate the work people have put in to building STORY arcs? Seriously? Are the only reasons we're playing is just for badges? Are we really so selfish and so jaded that if we can't get a badge for it, we're going to just say "you don't matter" to everyone else in the forum who might have put in some time trying to put something cool together, without even seeing how interesting it is?

I don't even HAVE a story arc, people, and I'm the one putting this list together, because I want play every single damn arc on it. Not because you wanted badges, but because I wanted to see what you could do. The fact that I'd help you get badges? That's gravy. I don't like gravy, so feel free to drop by for tea and cookies after the weekend (Ulli, I'll make an entire tray just for you). We can discuss the neat arcs that are here.

Cende, I'm with you. I hope more aren't going to leave over badge changes. There are a lot of good and great arcs in this thread. Only 27 more to play personally, hope more fun arcs get added soon! If they don't, well, I'm still finishing my list.

Sorry if my comment led you to believe I'm not starring what I've played. I've starred everything I've played based on my own opinion of it, including yours.

Some players seem to not want to star an arc until they see improvements to it. Not my view, but to each their own. At least it means they liked it enough they want it to succeed and will play it again. Well, there are also the players that are new to AE hitting finished to submit their comment before starring not realizing they would close the screen without voting or sending their comment. Think it'll get better with time. *edit, re-read your post and see you agree on the second part, sorry about the oversight*

As far as the rating/ticket thing, I've always wait until I've gotten the mission has been rated text before clicking finish. Haven't noticed tickets not rewarding like you have, may need to pay closer attention to it. Will bug it if it seems off. Thanks for the heads up.

I can't speak for everyone, but I will speak for myself. I'm not looking for stars as much as I am looking for players to play my arcs and give feedback. In my personal opinion, plays with feedback help me improve my arcs. Goodness knows I appreciate any help. =)

So far, I've played all the arcs on the first three pages and a handful past that. I've honestly enjoyed what I've played so far and am looking forward to the rest. Personally, if I don't have fun playing one they aren't going to just get 5 stars because it was on this thread. That'd just be silly. =)

I do know what you mean about crappy missions having 5 stars. Before this thread I'd randomly be trying 5 starred arcs that sounded neat only to enter mission and be greeted with 'mission complete'. *shrugs* Suppose others may like that, but not my thing. I'd like to think my arcs are at least better than that, so I posted them here instead of letting them get buried to gather dust.

Hmmm, maybe a better title for this thread would have been 'I'll play your arc, you play mine' since that seems to be how it's been working out in my experience.

Nice, I'd like in on this. Seems hardly anyone's tried my arcs and I'm tired of the cargo ship map. Looks like there'll be some great ones here.

I've already played Beefcake's Rumble (and he played mine!!! my husband was thrilled to hear how excited I was with that =D ) and Wrong Number's Disco one. Will start on the rest tonight. Mine are:

#79562 Shocking Developments (heroic medium length)
#95269 Mystic Mobsters (villianous short length)

I'm sure others have said this, but not even open for 24 hours? How do you seriously think you recieved much input from anyone other than the vocal minority?

I logged into the game last night, thought "hey cool, a poll I'd be interested in. Will get to it first thing in the morning."

Log in the next morning and hmm, forums down (which really is no problem in and of itself, but odds are you can see how this would conflict with voting). Would have never guessed the poll would come down so quick.

Sorry if this comes off as ticked, I'm really not so much as shocked. Not really understanding why even put it as a news announcement while logging into the game. Hope at least a decent amount of players participated in the short period.
