Then tell me what you freaking think of the idea. I almost never do this, and the two times I post an idea here, I want feedback dammit.
The lack of feedback is feedback.

Wow, you guys can really be a-holes sometimes. I put a lot of thought into that as you can clearly see above, and you don't even have the decency to share your thoughts on it. On the one hand, this game has some of the best community in-game. But on the forums, sheesh people. Even WoW's people are better than this, and that's saying something!

Apparently you've never been to a WoW forum. If you had the response you would have gotten would be something like.
&$^ N00b. Taht is the stoopedest idea ever. Go back to playing neverquest or whatever stupid game you came from.
Total loser, get out of the forums, you suck.
Those guys above me said it all. You are the worst poster ever to post. I saw you in game too on your Necro and you were totally getting pwned by a couple of Paladins 10 levels below you so get lost looser.
The actual truth here is that while the idea might be somewhat neat it's not too practical and would likely involve enough extra coding that we wouldn't be able to see it for a couple years.
Plus there is the fact that if a person creates an archetype it is most likely because they want to play that archetype. If I take my Sonic/Energy blaster into the MA and decide to play the "Rescue Statesmans Underwear" mission then I don't want to see a message pop up that says "During this mission you won't be your current archetype. You will instead be a Martial arts scrapper."
Lastly, you seem to be a complete and utter dick. I have been reading your past posts just to see how much you have contributed. A lot of them seem to consist of calling people a-holes for disagreeing with something you like.
As for people not responding to your ideas. So What? Just because you wrote it down doesn't make it the most exciting, or the absolute worst idea ever. You are not the center of the forum universe. Did you ever think that maybe, just maybe the people reading it thought the idea was bland and unoriginal but not bad enough to rant about?
And as to the following phrase from your response I put a lot of thought into that as you can clearly see above, and you don't even have the decency to share your thoughts on it. I don't see a post from you in every single suggestion thread. So you might want to look at that guy in the mirror because he seems to be ranting at you.
Don't count your weasels before they pop dink!

I didn't respond because I have no other feedback to give.
I also agree with Mandu's post, BTW.

I haven't READ every suggestion thread either. It got on my nerves when the views on this thread went 50+ with no replies. Know what I mean?
Sorry for me being snippy lately though. There is no excuse for that, but I have been in a grouchy mood. 3 jobs'll do that to ya. >.<
I like the idea; it fits right in with some of the kind of things I want to do with the MA. I kind of suspect that something like this will come along eventually if they keep expanding the tool.
Geez on the validation seeking, though.

That's not our problem, and it doesn't give you an excuse for your actions.
As for your idea? Eh. I'm not too big on it.

This, I did not know. Wasn't sure, and I definitely wouldn't bump the thread over and over, but I figured one bump couldn't hurt since they do tend to scroll off to the next page pretty fast.
Though the idea is well thought out and you seem to have really worked hard on smoothing out any kinks in it, I can honestly say that I would never, EVER, play an arc like that. I have my own characters that I want to play while in game. I don't want to play yours.

so glad im retired.
Ignoring anyone is a mistake. You might miss something viral to your cause.
I'm not sure what exactly to call this. "Scenario play" is the best way to sum it up for lack of a better term. What I'd basically like to see in the Mission Architect capabilities is the ability to set the player's model, level, and power lists -- not just the sets but specific powers.
By doing this, authors can put players into a specific scenario where they roleplay as another character entirely, with entirely different powers than what the player's character actually possesses. This is what we do every day when we log into COH (except if Chuck Norris logs in, he really IS an MA/WP scrapper), so why not when our characters log into THEIR little "game"?
As an example, take my "Ms. Liberty's Origin Story" arc. Ms. Liberty tells of a time before she was a hero when she was ambushed and held hostage by Rikti, but rescued by a hero. Currently she tells the player that she will put the player in that hero's place, but what if she could have that player BECOME the hero who rescued her?
Or there's my other arc that tells about a villain who turns hero during the course of the story. The player could play as the villain toon with her powers and experience the storyline firsthand rather than feeling like an outside observer (the only thing I didn't like about how I was able to make the arc). Even signature characters could be done this way, so the player could experience a mission through the eyes of Statesman, complete with Zeus' Lightning.
I keep picturing arcs where the contact says "Back then, this happened to me. Here, let me show you, you can step into my shoes," that kinda thing.
Oh and as for choosing specific powers? This would allow the custom player-toons to REALLY be custom, and each power would have a hidden attribute that modifies the experience rate received for the mission that toon is used in. Example, if the rate starts out at 1.00x, and the author adds Zeus' Lightning to the player's arsenal, that might have an effect of -0.15 to the rate, so the player only receives 0.85x or 85% of the experience for that mission, sort of like how adding AV allies incurs experience penalties.
Conversely, if the author gives the player very FEW powers, the opposite might happen. Let's say the rate actually starts at 1.50x or something, and each power the author gives the player brings it down a bit. So if a player goes into a mission and has NOTHING available to him but Nova, he might get 1.47x or 147% experience. So you are rewarded for added difficulty as a result of the system and penalized appropriately if the mission is made insanely easy.
Anyway I think that creatively this opens some great doors and I think the penalty system I've proposed is at least workable. Thoughts?
Oh and thanks for reading all this. ^_^
