Arc Name: Casino Madness
Arc ID: 13406
Faction: Villain
Creator Global/Forum Name: @Xavori / Xavori
Difficulty Level: Moderate
Synopsis: An ex-Family hitman wants your help in robbing five casinos.
Estimate time to play: 30 minutes to 1 hour
It's a fast paced 5 mission arc. Each mission is limited to 15 minutes. Tricked out characters will likely complete the entire thing in less than 15 minutes. Newbies, on the other hand, will die a few times but still complete (I know this. I tested both.)
Arc Name: A Strange New World
Arc ID: 12119
Morality: Heroic
Faction: Custom
Difficulty Level: Medium. It's not overly difficult solo on heroic but can be challenging in parts. No EB/AV!
Synopsis: Hudia is a utopian society in which crime-fighting has become so advanced that crime has been completely done away with. This, of course, greatly dismays would-be criminals, so a gang of villians has abandoned that dimension for a life of crime in this dimension. Paragon already has enough villains as it is, so it would be best to stop these guys before they can get started.
Estimated Time to Play: 1 hour 30 minutes

Arc ID: 13542
Faction: Heroic
Creator Global/Forum Name: @Shadowrush
Difficulty Level: Moderate
Synopsis: Help Manticore uncover a mysterious plot by Arachnos and a new group of villains. For levels 40-50.
(Story-driven. Four short-to-moderate missions. Has one EB, and one EB/AV. Good for teams. Solo-friendly below Difficulty 5. Contains allies.)
For soloing, Difficulty 1 makes it bend on the easy side; Difficulty 2-4 is recommended.
Estimated Time to Play: 30 - 60 minutes

Arc name: Coulrophobia- Fear of Clows
Arc number: 6929
Difficulty level: Not bad at lower settings. The first three missions are pretty straight forward and big boss free. The last two do have EB/AVs. Not overwhelming but make sure and have a team if you are pushing the difficulty above Level 1 unless you like a challenge.
Synopsis- Positron hates clowns....help the guy out! A well known scientist has gone missing and at first it's believed to be the Carnival at work, but a strange troupe of clowns shows up. It has clowns and mimes so, yes, it's supposed to be creepy and a little silly.
No Defeat alls, so the missions can go relatively quickly. The last two may take a bit of time, due to multiple objectives and some tough bosses.
Honk! Honk!

Arc Name: Zombies From Space!
Arc ID: 9377
Faction: Zombies From Space! Smattering of other groups. Heroic morality.
Creator Global/Forum Name: @Biowraith
Difficulty Level: Somewhat tough.
Synopsis: We're being invaded! By Zombies From Space!
Estimated Time to Play: Running a 50 Bots/FF MM on Unyielding solo, with a handful of pauses to talk testing, the two missions took me about 30 min each for an hour total.
(warning: contains a fair amount of mastermind enemies, so not sure how it'll impact performance or scale for teams - runs fine for me but I've only ran it solo)
This is really just the foundations of an arc I plan to do properly when i14 goes Live. Not a complex story, and not at all serious. Mostly after feedback on difficulty (meant to be tough but not silly-hard, roughly equivalent to high level Longbow) and amusement value. Also pondering whether to keep the Knights or Blasters - adds variety, but dilutes the Raygun presence.

Arc Name: Return of the Kings
Enemy Group: "The New Kings"
Description: A new super-powered gang calling itself "The New Kings" has recently moved into Kings Row and begun to wreck havoc. Its up to you to investigate their criminal operations and put an end to this new threat.
Challenge: Challenging enough to work up an e-sweat
Morality: Heroic
Length: 5 missions--- about 30 minutes to an hour
Author: @Epoch6 (Test Server), @Flying Carcass (Live Servers)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This arc features a "super-villain-themed" custom group called the New Kings which has a number of tough mobs. There is one named boss (scaled down to lieutenant on lower difficulties), one elite boss (again, scaled down to lieutenant on lower difficulties), and 4 arch villains (scaled down to elite bosses on lower difficulties). I found the final arch villain to be the most challenging, but I was able to beat it solo on my lv 50 eng/dev blaster on the second difficulty level.
Mission 1:
A hero is born:
Level 1 - 5 single mission designed to help ease you into the game. Very easy and very simple as all early missions are.
Mission 2:
Defeat Mr Blobby

Arc Name: Amazon-Avatars
Arc ID: 13567
Faction: Neutral
Creator Global/Forum Name: @FemFury / Shagster
Difficulty Level: Somewhat challenging
difficult factions (Malta, Knives), Some custom bosses, but I didn't go overboard on them, I think.
Synopsis:
The Warriors have an artifact stolen by the Knives of Artemis, revealing an ancient source of power.
Contains: Warriors, Knives of Artemis, some Malta, a pretty simple custom faction.
Technically rated Very Long (5 missions), but purposefully made some of the maps small and quick to mitigate that.
Pretty story heavy. If you don't like reading clues or having the contact talk a bit, or bosses chatting during fights, this probably isn't the arc for you.
some Custom bosses in the last two missions. Nothing too extreme, I think. Can always run it heroic to fight them as LTs if needed.
I focused more on the storytelling than the faction design and fight setups this time, so most interested in hearing feedback about that.
I really hope some people have fun playing, and eager to hear what people might think!

The arc is meant to be low-level content (5 to 15, basically). I'd really like to know if characters at that native level have trouble with it. And... well, gee, I hope it doesn't suck.

It has a strange sense of humor. At least I think it's strange. I hope you guys like it. I will probably continue the story when this issue goes live.

Faction: Heroic
Creator Global/Forum Name: @Aliana Blue/Aliana_Blue
Difficulty Level: Medium-Rare. I kid, there're many bosses but most are optional. AV warning! The last mission has AVs, but it can be almost autocompleted at the lower difficulties (because the NPC helpers are such badasses, if you care and feed them).
Synopsis: A testing of a simulation designed to train heroes against a new Freakshow weapon turns into a little surprise.
Estimated Time to Play: 20-60 minutes, depending on how much you ignore the side objectives. Not a single defeat all in there. Going straight for objectives you can probably knock it off under half an hour.
