Similar in concept to our character creator, it allows you, the players, to create missions and story arcs for your characters and others to participate in. You’ll be able to pick the map, villain group, and objectives, as well as write the dialog and any clues needed for the missions. When you are satisfied with it, you can upload it and have other players across all servers play it and rate it.

Woah. Awesome.

Whoah squared. You just made Turg a happy camper. I've had a bunch of stories I was hoping to write one day. Now I'll just make it content for the community.

It is features like these that we never dreamed of including when we first shipped, but are excited to be able to offer players very soon.

The WIN....oh, the staggering amount of WIN!

I can't say I like the Create Your Own Story Arc (it will really, really muddle with canon). But thanks for telling us.

Doom.

Yep.

This is really doom.

Now wait a second. Positron, I chatted with you during the I10 closed beta and suggested user-created content then. You said it "opens too many wormy cans." What happened that you changed your mind?

Happy Birthday!

And also, it has now become entirely possible that I will spend more time making missions than leveling my characters. Curse you, Positron and Dev team. Curse you all!

P.S- Quite excited. Thanks for continuing to make my favourite MMO even more my favourite MMO.

I was very very very happy to read this annoucement

I love this game. <3

Now, do you guys think this mission creator will allow people to customize missions just for the sake of farming?

Where's the speculation and doom?

There should be some checks and balances put into place before allowing players to create missions and such otherwise this game moves from a T rating to an M rating pretty quick.

Every time I take down Terrible Wind and guards, I giggle like an idiot.

Ah well. Time travel and alternate universes' would seem to cover that.

Maybe it's the 4 year cynic in my heart. But the FIRST thing that popped into my head when I read "Customizable missions and content" was "No way they are gonna allow it to give xp or influence/drops of any kind".

I hope to God I'm wrong but I just don't think so. This kind of content that would ALLOW you to create farm missions just for that purpose with unlimited enemies that you can farm for rewards just sound WAY WAY too imbalancing.

So I have a feeling while this 'customizable content' will be cool at first. If it's valueless to kill the mobs then I can see this feature dying FAST with the people.

I'm sure there will be checks and balances to prevent mature rated content as well as farming.

Needless to say, I would love to make an epic room of death where the groups must face an endless* horde of opposition.

*endless as in A LOT of guys, not ambushes, since I'm sure that'll be restricted as well.

"We’ve implemented a couple things imperfectly (Epic Archetypes and Enhancement Diversification come to mind)"

So is Posi saying that Epics and ED are imperfect or the way they were implemented was imperfect.

(I personally don't think there is a problem with Epics or ED; but, then I started playing after they had already been implemented.)

That would be great.

I am excited beyond words about mission creation.

How robust will the system be?
Will you be able to design the contact? (or use one of your heroes as the conact)
Will the missions have all the features of a normal mission? (rescue hostage, gain fighting pet, gain temp powers?)
Will you be able to design named bosses/archvillians?

(The ideas are already starting to form)

That blue thing running around saying "Cookies are sometimes food" is Praetorian Cookie Monster!
Shoot on sight, please.

Does this mean I can have 200 Masks, 200 Master Illlusionists, 200 Capo Bosses, and 200 Frost Demons all in one gigantic Mission???? I copyright this mission here first!!

---

What's wrong with setting up your own farm type missions? You still have to kill the mobs.
