Title: Chocolatier Wars!
Arc ID: 1153
Creator's Global Name: @Electroanagesia
Difficulty level: Easy
Synopsis - Fight for creative freedom! An upset at the World Chocolate Exhibition has made European chocolatiers targets for villainy, for the one who controls the creative confectionary geniuses controls the direction that the Future of Chocolate will take. Every chocolate lover has a stake in that! Hazelnut Carmel Pralines: Crunchy textured hazelnuts balanced by smooth, buttery carmel within a dark chocolate casing. Dark Chocolate Raspberry Infusions: Velvety raspberry filling centered in scrumptious dark chocolate. Want another taste? You'll have to try out the arc!
Number of EB's/AV's - One Elite Boss in the final mission.
Story Type - Humor
Mission count: 3 missions in the arc
Estimated Time to Play: Depends on how quickly or slowly you want to play it, the second mission is just click a glowie, but if you enjoy reading delicious descriptions, I recommend taking the time to click the boxes of sample chocolates just to read the clues, even though they aren't required for mission completion.
Note: Due to overwhelming feedback about it, I've made a custom group that extends the Goldbrickers in the first mission (the last two are Crey) up to level 50. Level 50's won't be exemplared down anymore, and characters level 25 to 49 will get exp in the first mission now.
I'd love to get feedback on this arc, thanks very much if you try it out. Feel quite welcome to give me your arc number in your feedback response so I can try out your creative work, too! (Doesn't have to be chocolate-flavored.)
Title: Avian Escape
Arc ID: 44337
Difficulty: Easy; Recommend level 30+ (that's what I've tested it with, lower level is possible, but I don't guarantee anything.)
Number of EB/AVs: 1, optional allies available
Story Type: Moderately serious, or at least played straight, flavor text and mission contact are meant to amusingly sarcastic.
Mission Count: 4
Estimated Play Time: Soloable in under an hour
The story is complete, but I am interested in comments on mob balance (and may be adding more/heavier hitting ranged) and any typos or text improvements. Much of the information is currently in mob backgrounds and clue texts, the "upfront" story is fairly simple.
Please, please, please use the feedback! I promise I won't bite!

I am having a blast playing with the MA.
The first MA I wrote was just with the idea of making a story that fit the map, not trying to find the "right" map to fit the story. I think its ok for a one shot deal.
Number two had more to do with making a interesting farm map with a story attached, im happy with the contact text.
Let me know what you think. Please!

This will likely be my only contribution through the Mission Architect, as I don't really consider myself a good story writer. I ramble too much.
Title: A Day with the South Texas Knights.
Arc ID: 42969 (somehow that number seems to make me happy)
Creators Global Name: @Texas Justice
Difficulty Level: It seemed fairly easy to me as a 50, and likely medium on the 15. Then again, the 15 is a pre-ED tank that I seldom play and could really stand to burn a freespec on.
Synopsis Texas Toast and his pals are tearing up the South Texas Knights SG Base, planting malware on the computers, and destroying pr0n ... er ... data. Yeah ... that's it ... data.
Mission 1 Contains Boss, Ally, Defeat All Enemies.
Mission 2 Contains Boss, Collection, Ally.
Mission 3 Contains Boss (EB), Ally
Number of EB/AVS 1 EB to fight, 1 EB as an Ally
Story Type Humor ... strictly for fun.
Mission Count: 3 - all on Medium size Maps.
Estimated Time to Play: I really don't know. I only played it in testing mode with two characters. One was a 50 and one was a 15.
Note This is purely an ego-stroking arc that will let people team with Texas Justice, Eyes of Texas (non-Hami Raid costume), and other alts of mine while fighting my villains. People comment occaisionally that they never get to team with me except for Hami Raids, Ship Raids, and very rare instances when I'm trying to help someone else level up on a 2XP weekend or during some event. Now you can team with TJ all you want, or don't want as the case may be.
It is intended to be humorous and light-hearted, even though it turned out to be longer than I planned. I also only tested it solo, of course, and have no idea how it will scale with teams.
I'm not doing this for the ratings or feedback, just to indulge myself a bit and play around with the new features.
I hope that you at least have a bit of fun with it.
I know I had fun (and frustration) making it.
[/ QUOTE ]
This has been modified slightly. Clarifications made based on feedback, and now only the first mission is a Defeat All. If you played it between the 12th and very early this morning, I appreciate the feedback given and tried to use that to clarify things and improve the arc. And now you get a much better Souvenir.
If the game spit out 20 dollar bills people would complain that they weren't sequentially numbered. If they were sequentially numbered people would complain that they weren't random enough.

Number of EB/AVS You fight 3 EB's (they're not that tough)
Story Type Serious
Mission Count: Part 1: 5 mishes, Part 2: 5 Mishes.
Estimated Time to Play: Probably about 60 min.
(less with a good team/solo toon, more with a toon that has a hard time solo.)
Note I wanted to tell a story that everyone could get into...solo players and team players. (that's why the EB's aren't that bad). I figured telling a darker story would be a nice change from the normal CoH stories. (Also, I had to make it 2 parts, because there was too much to tell. A single 5-mish arc would've cheapened the experience...alot).
I published my new arc, Touch My Awesome Button! Watch the videos first at captaindynamic.com or you might not get it.
Arc ID is 109841.
1 mission, contains various Boss type (EBs?), cats, trees, rental automatons, Captain Dynamic, an awesome button and a potentially massive ambush.
