Number of EB/AVS – 2

I'd like a lot of feedback, and I'll be happy to tinker with these arcs depending on suggestions I get.

After some feedback from other players, I changed the story of my arc, the level range, & also removed the EB in the 1st mission.

Arc Title: What If...#1 The 'Hurtz' Family
Arc ID: 95628
Creator Global/Forum Name: @Killerhurtz
Suggested V/H/N: Hero (1-53)
Faction: 5th Column, Council, Family
Difficulty Level: Solo easily
Synopsis: Several years ago a family was taken hostage by a crazy man & was held for ransom. When no ransom came the family was sacrificed one by one. Out of the whole ordeal arose Killerhurtz, Spirit Of Hurts, Terrorhurtz, & Azkikr. The story behind how they became heroes/villains is in the arc. This is a simulation of what if there were heroes back then, to save the family before their world was changed forever.

Guess I'll give this a shot...

Title: Tale of Two Sisters
Arc ID: 125417
Creator’s Global Name: @Golden Avariel
Difficulty Level: Starts out standard difficulty and ramps up in the later missions.

Synopsis: A woman has been asked by her parents to look into her little sister's strange behavior. Her little sister is the famous model Diamond Blue of Silks 4th Avenue. When it turns out she has turned to crime, including murder, it is up to you to stop her.

Number of EB/AVS: 2 boss encounters (1 EB/Boss and 1 AV/EB)
Story Type: Heroic Story
Mission Count: 4
Estimated Time to Play: 1.5 to 2 hours

Notes
The narrowest mission is 5-14 but I recommend it for levels 12-19. Anyone over 14 won't make experience in the first two missions but those are the shortest. My experience is that a party of 14's do very well in this arc. I have soloed the story with my blaster.

All maps are either medium or small. The 3rd mission is a Defeat All and is on the small map. Enemies: Skulls, Trolls, Circle of Thorns, and a small custom group.

An ally escort is in the last mission but since the escort is a required task you should use them only if you don't think you can beat the EB/AV boss. If the ally dies you will fail the mission. If you don't want to use the ally simply complete the escort task. This last mission is the only one that can be failed.

The narrow caves were not used.

Title: Hope Behind A Mask
Arc ID: 134354
Creator’s Global Name: @Maribelle
Difficulty Level: Medium
Synopsis – Help a fellow hero find his lost beloved, and fight to recover her soul
Number of EB/AVS – 0, 3 custom bosses that I think are reasonable
Story Type – Serious, plot.
Mission Count: 5
Estimated Time to Play: 30 min or so solo
Morality: Heroic

Note –
I spent a good amount of time writing this arc, and I would appreciate any useful feedback. What did you like, what did you hate, where did I miss a typo, why didn't you rate it higher, ect.

Number of EB/AVs: None
Story Type: Drama

So, someone with 2 accounts decided to 1 star my arc with no comment... Given that I had been receiving good feedback from the few people that actually bothered to play and that there were fewer than 10 plays on it I've republished it.

The new number is #158373

Edit: Nevermind, following repost some dick did it again, so I'll just be pulling it until some form of accountability is added.

Welcome to the MA pvp! I can't wait for those people to protest when changes are made to star ratings.

Why must people claim someone being an [censored] is some kind of pvp?
That makes it sound like a game and acceptable behavior instead of a random senseless act of self serving idiocy.

There is no confrontation, there is no victory or defeat, there is no content besides clicking a few buttons.

It is no more a form of PvP than this

Sounds like pvp to me.

Title: Arbiter Sands Strike Force - A Dish Best Served Cold
Arc ID: 120723
Creator's Global Name: @Mister Frog
Difficulty Level: Medium
Synopsis: Assist Arbiter Sands in getting revenge on those who interfered with his plans in Faultline. (Note: This arc was envisioned for level 30-35, however, limits to the characters involved, the level range fluctuates greatly).
Story Type: Serious
Estimated Time to Play: Not sure

Title: Adventures in Bank robbery
Arc ID: 166208
Creator’s Global Name: @Kadmon
Difficulty Level: Hard to Very Hard
Synopsis – Sequel to 30312 (In the Protection Racket). After the... issues you and Lou had with the protection racket, he decides to go with an old criminal mainstay - A bank robbery! To that end, you decide to blow something up as a distraction. This causes a whole new slew of problems though.
Number of EB/AVS – 2 AVs and 1 EB, but one of those AVs shows up several times.
Story Type – Light humor
Mission Count: 5
Estimated Time to Play: Haven't tried it all out yet, tested the missions separately.

Note – Sequel to 30312, so do that one first, then come back and skip this step. If you don't like recurring bosses, you might want to pass on this.

New, from the AnimalWorks:

Synopsis – Four girls have been kidnapped by a dastardly villain! One girl from the east coast, a southern girl, a midwest farmer's daughter, and a northern girl, and they are in the clutches of Nefarious!
Number of EB/AVS – One - Nefarious, evil kidnapper
Story Type – Humor/PSL
Mission Count: Five
Estimated Time to Play: ~1 hour

Note – Cheesecake!

Title: The Day I Tried To Live
Arc ID: 131780
Difficulty Level: 40+ Medium, -40 hard
Synopsis – Live the story of the contact. A tale of his downward spiral filled with self destruction, rage, desperation and a hint of love. It's the story of a Hero and a Madman.
Number of EB/AVS – 2 EBs, the first EB mission has a good ally that is not needed to complete the mission. Don't miss him, he really helps.
Story Type – Serious.
Mission Count: Five
Estimated Time to Play: I have no idea...Probably more than an hour.

Note – Only one kill all on a small map (second mission). The level range is wacky because of the groups I used, two missions are 30-54, two are 40-54 and one is 41-54. Also, throughout the missions are hostages that don't need to be rescued, but might make more sense to the story overall. Custom group has not been tested a lot.

Arc has A LOT of text.

Constructive criticism always helps.

Note – The contact is your henchman following your orders. The story follows the entire plan - securing travel to Paragon, chasing clues, executing the theft, and securing travel back to the Isles. All standard critters except for most of the bosses. Good for all levels.

Estimated Time to Play: 40 minutes

Note: The levels jump around a bit due to the limitations of the groups I've chosen.

I sincerely apologize for the following arc. My husband insisted I make it when I struck upon the idea after playing a paper mission that had a particularly questionably named boss. Remember, you were warned.


Name: In Poor Taste
Arc ID: 259920
Creator Global Name: @Wrong Number
Difficulty Level: Average
Synopsis: Ever done a radio mission and pondered what the devs were thinking when they named the boss? Should these guys be out on the streets?

Title: Mai tai, roa ae!
Arc ID: 261192
Creator's Global Name: @Spyder Noir
Difficulty Level: Easy
Synopsis: Someone has stolen the recipe for Trader Nic's famous Mai Tai! It's up to you to get it back.
Number of EB/AVs: None
Story Type: Fun / Custom characters
Mission Count: 1
Estimated Time to Play: 5-10 minutes

Note: This mission was inspired by mid-century American tiki culture and the art of Shag. There are enough custom enemies for each thing you fight to be unique, but unfortunately, the game doesn't cooperate and sometimes just repeats an enemy.

Title: Dr. Quaterfield Task Force
Arc ID: 258384
Creator’s Global Name: @Cai
Difficulty Level: Hard to Very Hard but not Impossible, although some may find it to be.
Synopsis – The Dr. Q TF condensed into 5 missions.
Number of EB/AVS – 1 AV.
Story Type – Canon.
Mission Count: 5
Estimated Time to Play: An hour or more. If run with an actual Dr. Q sized team (7+), can be considerably longer.

Note – At its core this Arc is meant to tell the actual story of the Dr. Quaterfield Task Force without all the fuss of running the actual Dr. Q TF; namely traveling in the Shadow Shard and the endless barrage of hunt and filler missions that do nothing to further the story. On top of that, I simply feel that it is a travesty (having run multiple Dr. Q's) that the payoff for working through the 20+ missions is a kill all mission in Oranbega as the grand finale. Seriously? What were they thinking?

In light of that I decided to give this TF a little more bite and give Heroes everywhere a challenge worthy of their powers. What would happen if a Champion of Rularuu happened to make it to Paragon City with his troops using the secret Crey Portal? Wanna find out? Good luck.

Side Note – Nearly all of the text in this Arc is pulled directly from the Dr. Q TF as found on Paragon Wiki with obvious edits to fit the condensed 5 missions. Any named bosses present, excepting the final AV showdown, are also drawn from the actual TF.

I just want to give a shout out to Zloth's arc, because I had a lot of fun with the characters he created in it.

Title: Tax Collection

Story Type: Serious

Estimated Time to Play: 1 to 2 hours
