Arc 2019 Have a Blap, Blap, Blappy Day Kids!

[ QUOTE ]

The reason the other leaders are not in the Injustice Legion as they should be is the current limitation of MA.

Thanks to I15 everyone that belongs in the Injustice Legion is now there.

This arc, for some reason, is the only one of my arcs that got a significant amount of space back. In fact it went from 99.94 to around 75%! So, I plan on reworking it a bit in the next week or so and will post the updates once I am done.

I have reworked the first two missions of this arc and am looking for feedback. My main goal was to try to give a little more of a hint as to what is happening with out spoon feeding it.

Some reviews:


@drfantasy: Feedback on Architect Mission Have a Blap, Blap, Blappy Day Kids!: Ok I actually dont know why this isnt devs choice. I really liked it honestly. Must be a couple minor things wrong for them to not choose this. I've only given 3 5stars so far and this will be my 4th.

@Farrok : Feedback on Architect Mission Have a Blap, Blap, Blappy Day Kids!: Can u say AWSOME i can AWSOME really enjoyed that i love blappy hehe

@Plucky Sidekick : Feedback on Architect Mission Have a Blap, Blap, Blappy Day Kids!: Great and very entertaining arc. I love the blappy fans healing her. 5 stars.

@Aracade : Feedback on Architect Mission Have a Blap, Blap, Blappy Day Kids!: What can I say about this.... ummm.... I got to be on tv? err... talk to a tv.... Seriously, how come you haven't gotten anything Developer approved. I've played all three story arcs you've made and I personally thought they were all fantastic. Ah well, that is the way of the world I guess. But I can still give ya some stars.

@Jarissa : Feedback on Architect Mission Have a Blap, Blap, Blappy Day Kids!: The almost-creepy thing is that, about twelve years ago, our tabletop group's GM ran us through a very similar adventure -- except it was Big Bird, whose performer was being held hostage while the costume was used by a new Supervillain to qualify for villain team membership. Good one-liners in your arc!

@Wyrm : Feedback on Architect Mission Have a Blap, Blap, Blappy Day Kids!: Very entertaining! Sis cracked me up. I think you captured the "feel" of Television as a contact really well.

@Taxibot Sara2.0 : Feedback on Architect Mission Have a Blap, Blap, Blappy Day Kids!: Hey WN Just did Blap Blap Blappy Dat Gret job as always Sort of hated having to beat you up but I tried to be gentle LOL Okay I have run out of missions from you TIME to post more

@abnormaljoe : Feedback on Architect Mission Have a Blap, Blap, Blappy Day Kids!: Great work, any chance of a "Redemption of Blappy" arc?

@BinkDeBook : Feedback on Architect Mission Have a Blap, Blap, Blappy Day Kids!: Another fun one WN... I enojoyed it .. Good Dialog and humor as usual. Nice work!

@Lazorman wrote: Fun! Nice customs designs, and amusing bio's. I liked the soliloquy narrative style your enemy bio's used. Only hiccup was when Sis Boom Ba almost escaped out the door when she got low health (couldn't seem to slow her down). Otherwise was a fast-paced, fun adventure!

I16 brought an unforeseen change to this arc. Apparently the last map in the arc will no longer support three boss spawns so I had to change it to another map. Not happy that every new issue forces these types of changes.

WN

After Aisynia's review and some in game feedback I got from The Cheshire Cat I decided to go in and make a few tweaks based on the feedback.


Spoiler Alert!

- M1: Intro now indicates that Blappy needs to be back for her show on Monday which helps frame the arc as a series of events taking place over a couple of days.

- M2: Clue Junkyard Dog drop's now reads "This card will grant you access to one of the Injustice Legion's hideouts. You have been reading a lot recently about this new villain group of "wronged" misfits." This was done to help the player understand who the IL is.

- M3: Captive Bright Angel's inactive dialog changed to "I'm ok with you losers catching me since The Injustice Legion has been getting great press lately." More to help people understand the IL.

- M4: Added the following warning in red at bottom of mission intro test "Warning - This mission contains an Elite Boss and a sneaky one at that so be alert, bring friends or take whatever precautions you deem necessary."

- M4: Changed map again to one that I think works better. Still not as good as the original map I had, but better. Changed map yet again. found on a run through that Blappy and SSS could spawn so close they would both attack you. Not good. The map I selected was a trade in that the two of them being too close should never happen, but you may have to backtrack to find Blappy. It is a "small" map though.

- M4: At some point Blappy's "defeat player" dialog went missing so I added it back.

- M4: Mission return text now also features a "stay tuned" promo for the Blappy and Kids show. This was done to make it clearer that things have returned to "normal"


One other point. To those that have played it does the Comedy tag fit better than say the Drama one or some other tag? I have been having second thoughts on it.

Tangler wrote: As an origin arc it works out pretty well, as it doesn’t fall into the trap of making your hero second to the author’s characters, and the author’s villains are distinct and varied enough so it feel like you are fighting an actual super villain team, something that the vanilla game so desperately needs instead of all the grunt bashing we end up doing.

@ReM em BeR wrote: awesome! I loved this arc...

@Lucianna wrote: That was pretty amusing, if not really laugh out funny (to me). Tough for my defender solo, so probably just right for most other ATs. Nice that spawned objectives were nearby, thank you.I found the Pep Squad irritating because of all their immunities-holds, immobilize, knock back. They ended up being more dangerous than most of the luetinants. Most debuffers will probably have this issue. Overall a very good arc.

@Eraserdog wrote: Really enjoyed this one, even though I got stomped at the end. My toon's the same build as the last boss, and couldn't hang solo. Great mish in all respects, tho. Five stars.

WN

OK, this arc is ready to be tested. Besides the normal typo and mistakes some things I'm interest in hearing opinions about:

- Should the arc still be set to Comedy?

- Is the title still good, or should I consider changing it?

- The contact is "An Abandoned TV" and left it unclear as to it's natures (like is it "The Television", just picking it's broadcasts or one of it's minors? Does this work for you?

- Do the mission titles fit well (They are all TVtropes)

- Should the boss in mission 3 be spawned off the clue or just be there from the get go?

- Is the ending clear enough and satisfying enough?

- I normally color code the clues, but did not this time. Do you miss it or think it's OK as is.


WN

Thanks for playing it Rose and for the feedback!

Just to make this clear:

Disregard any reviews or comments above Rose's in this thread. The arc has been totally redone and they no longer are accurate.
