And, my second published arc (although the first one I started on) - I scrapped the defeat all Carnie mission and rewrote the last three missions to show it.
MArc Title: Wardrobe Malfunction
MArc ID#: 11318
MArc Level Setting: 41+
# of Missions: 5
Length: 10-60 mins - highly stealthable, but the game says "Very Long"
Synopsis: Swan is having some costume issues, and your Hero needs to help!
This one should be considerably easier than Broken Hearts, although there may be a challenge at the end.

Finally got everything unlocked again, thanks for all the help so far. So here under their new ID numbers are:
Arc Name: This is War, Part I - the Revenge of Hro'Dtohz
Arc ID: 1356
Morality: Neutral
Faction: Rikti, Rikti Special Ops.
Creator: @Acid Zero
Difficulty Level: Medium solo, gets harder with team
Synopsis: Do I really need to say it? Okay. 
Hro'Dtohz is back, and with a vengeance. This arc takes place after the events of the LGTF (so intended for lvl 45+ characters), and presents no less than an all-out attack on Paragon City by the Lineage of War.
Estimated Time to Play: 1/2 - 1 hour
Link to More Details or Feedback: Click me.
Arc Name: Hunting the Dark Dragon
Arc ID: 2922
Morality: Heroic
Faction: Circle of Thorns, Malta Operatives, Space Pirates, Spearhead Division
Creator: @Acid Zero
Difficulty Level: Hard (1 AV(EB) with no allies, end boss very tough)
Synopsis: I created this in response to the many dragon invasion themed arcs I found on test, and decided to give it my own (slightly chaotic) spin by employing dragon concepts from people I know. I like to think this arc takes several things in new directions, and not just with the dragons - it's also up to the player to choose which way this arc ends.
Estimated Time to Play: 1/2 - 1 1/2 hours
Link to More Details or Feedback: Click me.
I've already gotten a few very good repots about these arcs, including that people really felt challenged, and satisfied when they overcame these challenges. In addition, apparently both of these have the potential to yield over 1000 tickets a run, which I didn't even know at first. I was just writing story. 
And even though I can no longer edit this arc, so feedback will be most helpful for those above this line, if you'd like to check it out:
Arc Name: Welcome to Architect Entertainment
Arc ID: 1004
Morality: Neutral
Faction: 5th Column
Creator: @Acid Zero
Difficulty Level: Medium solo, gets harder with team
Synopsis: Dr. Aeon invites you to a special demonstration of what his Architect Entertainment system can do. What could possibly go wrong? 
Note: this is a dev choice arc, so you will not receive tickets, but normal rewards instead.
Estimated Time to Play: 1/2 - 1 hour
Link to More Details or Feedback: Click me.
Also please note: if you play my arcs on 'invincible' or 'relentless', that is exactly what you're going to get - the odds will be severely stacked against you, so if you can't steamroll these solo on that setting, you may want to think about turning down your difficulty before saying they're too hard.

Characters
I haven't tried making anything yet but we did run "The Great Chicken Caper of '09" last night. Funniest thing I've done in CoX in a LONG time. Reminded me of Sum ting Wong.....course then none of them said "WTF I'm a duck", maybe they never saw Sum's duck outfit
MArc Title: A Day at the Office
MArc ID#: 11740
Morality: Neutral
MArc Level Setting: 50+
# of Missions: 5
Length: Very Long
Synopsis: Tech Support is bound and determined to take over Paragon City and the Rogue Isles. It is your job to make sure these techies do not achieve that goal. (Last mission contains all EBs encountered in first four missions but are optional. AV is the only requirement for completion.)

Scrapped my idea of having an arc as soon as i14 goes live, but anyone else that wants to advertise for their live arcs starting tomorrow, feel free!
In the meantime, I'm wondering about how silly an enemy group I can make instead of trying to actually fit a six-mission arc into five missions.

I gave up on MA when I found I couldn't use scrapyarders as a level 50 group. Forces the Concept OSHA TF I wanted to do at a max level of 30. Maybe they'll open the level range for all the enemy groups but I doubt it. Customizable maps and a larger memory space for each arc would have been nice too.
Disappointing. 
I am really hoping i15 brings me something to keep me after 60 months other than the weak 5 merit vet reward. Saving 50% on all my tailoring seesions for the 57 month reward was really special... It will come in handy once I have used my 30+ costume tokens on each of my toons.
Good luck to those making arcs.... you have some fun challenges with the limitations the devs have given you.
[/ QUOTE ]
Aw boss. I got you a Birthday Cake mission (Arc ID 3630) and everything. Sniff. Won't you play...? (insert sad puppy eyes here)
Well, you may not have the ability to use Scrapyarders at 50, but is there any way to make a Custom group of villains similar to Scrapyarders?

I spent a lot of time in Beta trying to come up with something that looked remotely like a construction worker... Wasn't really happy with any of the results.... A Scrapyarder quite honestly is Perfect. Has everything one would think a worker should have....

Mission Name: Intellectual Property Theft: Save the Secrets of the Architect System
ID: 39392
Author: @Burnin Up
Length: Very Short
Description: With Issue 14's smashing success, other MMORPG companies have their sights set on learning the secrets behind the Architect System. The competition has sent their goons to NorCal Studios. Can you save the Architect System? How long can the development team hold out?
Mission Name: One Fiendish Plot: Part one.
Author: redmanfx
lenght: Medium (3 missions)
This is a 3 mission arc containing members of The Fiend Army sg and newly created enemy group called The Gia Mob. The story follows a story line told be The Venetian. The first mish is a grab the glowie and kill the boss. This first mish has The Gia Mob as it's enemies and the sexy Strictly Wicked(EB) as the boss.
The second mish is a kill a boss(Coolheart-AV), grab the glowie which in turn, produces another boss(Synrath-AV) at the end. It is quite a unique map and makes for a serious effort. : )
The Third mish is a grab 5 glowies and kill two more bosses(AKibara-EB) and (Cerebral Ache-AV)
The Arc is challenging because I wanted to make something a bit more fun and entertaining that was not exactly easy. And yet the arc is not super hard either. There are AV's and tough EB's so beware trying to Solo it on relentless and good luck I might add as even my best toon could not solo it on relentless.
Mission Name: Introducing The Gia Mob
Author: redmanfx
length: very short(just one mish)
is a single mission I put in just to introduce the entire Gia Mob as I was not able to do so in the mission arc due to memory issue constraints. This is a kill three bosses and rescue an office worker. The last boss is an AV Beach Raven. Again this mish was made to just have more of the Gia mob to face and see all the characters.
Thanks and have fun.
