Save the Art Club!

I was bored this afternoon and had an idea I thought would be a fun little mission. I would’ve posted this in the MA Story section but this mission is geared towards the people who visit this forum and it’s really more of a goofy/fun mission anyway. Nothing serious

Arc Name: Save the Paragon City Art Club
Arc ID: 16887

I will apologize in advance if I got any of the character proportions or costumes wrong I did my best to get them close enough to the art/screenshots I looked over. The spawns on the map are kinda sparse because of the way the MA system works, but that’s ok because the normal spawns aren’t what's supposed to be fun about the mission to begin with.

Yeah I published it, but it looks like the search feature is broken or down. I tried searching for it and it didn't show (even though its listed under my Published Arcs) and tried a few other random arc IDs and they didn't show up either.

Maybe just try again tomorrow to see if it works.

Fun arc, a little too short but fun

You got most of the costumes very well



I have to ask one thing: how do you get the player's name in your NPC's dialogs ?

I'd love to play it, if I had the test server downloaded.

I'm beginning to think a certain art forum celebrity is going to be very overused in these MAr missions. >.<

Nobody but an art-y would get it, but it made me laugh really hard .

Oh, since I have now rescued all those artists, they should be grateful and do some pics for me!

Hmm...mission seems oddly...familiar.


Still, an oddly satisfying mission. Boss fight gave me a bit of a run for my money. (Elec boss with 4 healorz? Yikes!).


Good job!

For the NPC Dialog, I normally just use $target. They’ll say whoever they have targeted after being rescued (normally the person who defeated the last enemy). For the mission contact dialog I use $name so if you’re on a team and someone else reads it from the mission info button, it shows their name.

Thanks for the comments, too; I’m glad you guys thought it was fun.

Yes, but he so much fun to poke fun at. I already cameoed him into my first MA (ID 17044)

I'm playing through the mission right now and liking it a lot.

EDIT: highly amusing playing this mission on Turbo-Ski and TA's dialog going along with that almost perfectly lol

I shall try this out, then render horrifying criticism.

I found it by searching for the arc number

I won't be trying the MA until it goes live ... anyway I can get a hint at who is featured in this (I know one but would like to know if there are others) You can just PM me if you don't want to spoil it for others.

Can't find the arc. check to make sure the arc number didn't change?



"City of Heroes. April 27, 2004 - August 31, 2012. Obliterated not with a weapon of mass destruction, not by an all-powerful supervillain... but by a cold-hearted and cowardly corporate suck-up."

A LOT of arcs were broken by the patch. If you had any returns in a character description its toast. A lot of maps broke loose too.


 

Posted

Yah I just had to go in and fix mine.

... and wait for the updater to reverify files no less than SIX times.



... is it me, or do 'patches' break more than they fix, lately?

The Arc ID is the same, but I had to go in and remove a character description because of the <br> bug last night. You should be able to run it now, but I make no promises if there is another patch

For those who can’t get on test or don’t want to run it, spoilers below:


















Kidnapped Artists: Juggertha, 8Baller, Lady Judgment, and Light-Speed.
Kidnapped Collectors: Buckeye Star, Hericane, Masked Shrike, and Soul Train.

Kidnapper: Thor’s Assassin and his Sassbots.

NPC Dialog:
Sassbot: TA is going to make you draw day and night for him!
Juggertha: Pff! Give me back my axe and we'll see who does the drawing!
Juggertha Rescued: Thanks for the rescue, $target.

Sassbot: Art, art, and more art!
Lady Judgment: Play City is NOT meant for TA. I won't draw him in it!
Lady Judgement Rescued: Wow thanks...I don't think the world can take TA in a Play City piece.

Sassbot: We need more 3d renders! Faster, Faster!
Light-Speed Rescued: Wow, TA is a madman! You have to stop him!

Sassbot: Haha! TA will have all the Lego TA's he wants now!
8Baller: I'll never model for that madman!
8Baller Rescued: Wow, thanks. That was a close one.

All the collector dialog is mostly the same.
Sassbot: You can only commission TA artwork now!
Collector Rescued: TA wanted me to stop commissioning art of my characters and only commission art of him!


TA Boss Dialog:
Unaware: Ha ha! Soon I’ll have all the art I’ll ever need! My plan can’t go wrong!
Attacking: What!? $target!? No! Stay out of this! You won’t stop me!
75% Health: Wait, wait….let’s make a deal!
50% Health: I'll tell them to draw you too!
25% Health: Come on! OK, how about I give you a few artists??
Defeated: ...foiled…I’ll have my revenge! Your art is never safe!
Defeating a Player: Hm, me defeating you would make a great piece of art.
