Heraclea, I'm so sad. I went to take a group on your Philosophers mission and found ... it was taken down. That was a fun one too.

Philosophers is still active. The arc that I removed for the new one was "Cathedral of Mild Discomfort", an epic story with AVs and such that was rated five times during the time it was live.

This delivers on it's promise - no more but no less either. I'm not fan of kill all missions since it seems they aren't really meant to be completed, but after having calmed down (spending 30 minutes looking for the next-to-last mob on foot, and another 45 NOT finding the last mob made me kind of cranky since I'm a finisher) I upgraded my original overzealous score to *** (3) stars (good). It's not VG's fault mobs falls thru' the map.

my 'serious' mish. Overhauled for i15, let me know if I missed something, or something isn't spawning right. Was working for me, but ymmv.
Fighting cimeorans, lotsa hostages, an escort, some bosses... can get hectic if you try and plow through. Stop and read the text, as I tried to write a developing story as you progress in the mish, yet still have it on the short end of completion time.

Title: Death by Snoo-Snoo!
Alignment: Heroic
Length: Short (1 mission)
Level: 53
Rogue Amazons have reverted to their old ways of kidnapping men. But this time, they have set their sights on Paragon City's hero population! The unfortunate heroes are not quite equal to the challenge they present.
Are you tough enough to take on these Amazons?
This is a high level (53 only) mission, intended to be a physical challenge as well as being humorous. The minions have been designed specifically to resist attempts to avoid them in melee. It is suitable for teams, and will automatically SK every player to level 50.

Re-posting due to current changes in the MA system. It has been altered with past feedback for a little more fluidity. There are still CoT maps being used, but I've tried to limit their annoyances; these types of maps have to be used due to the story line. While the mission/story is basically the same as before, I have added a story element that I think adds to the atmosphere I'm trying for, hence the re-posting.
Arc Name: What the Vudu?!?!
Arc ID: 18911
Faction: Neutral
Creator Global/Forum Name: VoodooCompany
Difficulty Level: Medium to Hard
Synopsis: An old group has sprung up to try to take over the Circle of Thorns. Can you find out more about them and hopefully prevent them from becoming too powerful? Contains custom mobs of all varities, including 3 AVs. Set up for Levels 35+ only. The missions were created to challenge players. It is geared towards teams but is COMPLETELY soloable depending on what Difficutly level you choose.
Estimated Time to Play: 30+ minutes
Please use the *in-game feedback* or PMs if you have problems, see mistakes, are confused about something, etc.
WARNINGS:
1) There does appear to be some issue *still* with mob/goal placements; no matter the setting, there is overlap for the areas within missions deemed front/middle and middle/back. This can cause not-so-clean triggering of events. If I can find the perfect solution where it does what it's supposed to do 100% of the time, I'll gladly do it.
2) There is some kind of delay/perception issue with allies where they stall at random and won't follow for some time even if you're right there with them. The ally is not needed, and doesn't have to survive, but he is useful.
Tip: Make sure to know which mobs are more dangerous if left alone.

Arc Name: Technological Advances

Faction: Hero
Creator Global/Forum Name: @Crystalblue
Difficulty Level: Easy-Medium (levels 33-45)
Synopsis: Mender Tesseract has a (slightly villanous) plan to save Earth, and somehow it involves helping Nemesis & the Freakshow strike a famous deal.
Soon you're not just up against the Heroes of Paragon City but also figthing Steampowered Tanks and an entire Rikti Invasion, with the existance of the Menders themselves at risk.
Estimated Time to Play: Short-Medium (3 Maps)
[u]I already know the following[u]:
Setup:
- Yes! It IS a villain mission because we ARE helping the bad guys
- Tesseract COULD have chosen to gain results helping good guys too you know!
Mis.1:
- Some missed opportunities of extra jokes with the cameo characters
- Not the right map (didn't have the original mission available to check)
- I went with (and tested on) a map I liked instead and will probably stick to it
- The customs WERE made specifically for this mission, I'm not flaunting alts
- Bosses ARE just meant to be Lts. and I do know Boss groups are a little spread out
Mis.2:
- Somewhat dialogue poor (Mis.3 too but there it's more OK)
- Yes 'Doble Brothers' not 'Dalton Brothers' - check names on Wikipedia
Mis.3:
- Pacing problem - it IS the climax but doesn't feel like it compared to Mis.1
General:
- Level range due to rescued peoples level, level around the mission it reenacts
- Level-adjustments is canon in Mender-missions, and at least it doesn't jump
- Can give people that "So now I'M the idiot??!?" feeling
- I hope the Souvenir to some extent mitigates this
Fixes:
- Changed spelling of hopefull -> hopeful (it just LOOKS so wrong)
- Added non-mandatory canon clue to Mis. 2 to liven it up (why only 300 chars?)

Thanks to Zamuel for being the guinea pig and finding one last spelling error. Dependent on feedback, I might tone down the AV/EB at the end. Fire armor can be a pain to deal with, but at least he doesn't have Rise of the Phoenix.

I played it before. Why play it again: It's a little different!
Due to *someone* coming back and ruining the entire point of the original, I had to re-do part of it, adding in new characters and a whole other level. "Story" was altered, but it's just as confusing and lackluster as before.

I wrote this for my playstyle and If you've teamed with me you know that's fighting the agro limit of enemies in close combat. I also enjoy playing "lets you and him fight" with big groups of NPCs duking it out.
Basically this is one big melee brawl, no storyline, no fancy text. Every enemy has a melee and a defensive power set. I used the largest map I could and added 30 Blue patrols and 30 Red patrols. Reds and Blues will agro each other and as well as you.
The mission objective is an escort with the escort being a Stormy that plays like certain people who will go unnamed at this time. Keeping the escort alive takes some agro management.
So if you like melee combat, grab your Brute/Tank/Scrapper/wahtever, set your diff for 8 man spawns and go to town.
