over 2/3 of all published arcs are being unpublished for one reason or another.

Arcs with "Smurf" in the title or description: 5
Arcs with "Cullen" (Twilight) in the title or description: 3
Arcs with "Where's Waldo" in the title or description: 3
Arcs with "Snork" in the title or description: 0
Arcs with "Jedi": 0
Arcs with "Buffy": 1


List your own fun searches, remember the search function isn't the best, so it's sometimes hard to find a good search term to find only what you want. Like "Oz" comes up with lots of partial word matches.

Speaking of farms, I saw a mission that was advertised as being a farm for "fire tanks". Since I've been making one myself that abuses certain enemy qualities, I ran this mission to see if I could find anything worth adding. To my surprise, all of the enemies were custom critters that had no hesitation to run away from burn. Had I rolled my eyes any harder, they would have popped out.

Having a severe distaste for "farming" of any sort, I've always allowed myself the assumption that the common idiot's idea of farming really is more efficient, in some way, than what I do for fun.

The mission architect has truely shattered that illusion.

P.S. I'm already sick of sifting through badge farms. Is there a badge for creating crappy badge farms?

I think you just need to learn to search better. I've seen hardly any farm missions in any of my searches (which aren't similar to my silly searches listed in the first post).

My snarkiness must not have come off very well. I know there aren't nearly that many farms, it just seems that that's all anyone broadcasts about.

To be fair, I haven't run across that many blow-my-socks-off missions in AE that I absolutely have to run. I've had a few like Footsteps Initiative or Tangle in Time which were good to run, but, for the most part, they're not ones I would do repeatedly over and over, and actually finding more than a handful of good ones with the current interface is an enormous challenge. Not being able to sort by number of votes casts hamstrings this a lot.

Are you on Freedom? Because that's about the only place reports like that are coming in from so far.


Dec out.

Have you tried Above Mars The Welling Part 1? give it a shot.


The development team and this community deserved better than this from NC Soft. Best wishes on your search.

There are at least 6000 missions with Jedi in the title. They just use a Mind Trick to not allow you to see them in the Searches.




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.

Why do I do do do things I do
Nobody was ever there for me to talk to
Once I was youngster, pure and true
Now I'm running with a sick, sick crew.

OK, then, my next arc will be all about the ninja zombie pirate lesbian catgirls. From Mars.

That's the sort of thing I'm wasting my first slot on, if I ever finish testing and refining it for all levels, dialogue, etc. Be on the look-out for "Too Many Bunnygirls!"
