You would hope that RWZ wouldn't have one.
Vanguard Guard 1 - Great we have a new influx of capes here to help in the fight against the Rikti
Vanguard Guard 2 - Don't get your hopes up, they are just going to access the virtual reality games consoles that are installed in the back
Vanguard Guard 1 - D'oh
I can see no downside here whatsoever.

I was thinking they could tie the SG base mission computer in the MA system somehow.. That way that would have more of a use and allow base access as well..

It's the only 3 story arcs thing. That means I can only make 6... Lots of thinking to do now.
Other than that, it looks awesome.
No, you can make as many as you want but can only publish 3 at a time.

Thats great if the stories are easily selectable, flagged and uploaded as active and able to be deselected to inactive without losing the story.
We'll have to set up some request thread for highly rated arcs to be made active on a rotating or request basis as I'm sure creative players will come up with more than a couple of great ones.

If they're that good they'll hopeful get a high enough rating to be moved into the Hall of Fame (or some such) for permanent availability, and an account slot freed up.
Alternatively if it's RP-type story related, IIRC someone can take the rest of their team into a non-published arc of theirs, so as long as you're telling your own story you could set up as many accessible arcs as you wanted.

More like highlights the lack of awesome Tech room scenery.
You can do way more stuff with Arcane in my opinion.

^ So damn true...and ANNOYING!
-blows a gasket-
Tech deserves some much needed love, IMO 
Arcane takes two secs to look cool, tech takes serious messing around and safe-fu to make look worthwhile...
OT;
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA A!!!
-breathes-
This looks gorgeous! 
/WANT. New Box, f-loads of new content, new possibilities, much more than the devs let on (canny )...oh man.
A very appropriate birthday present ^^
Up yours CO!

Agreed. 3 is a tad tight. Five would be nice, its the sort of de-facto standard 'baseline' number, normally.
That aside, this is SO juicy

Bah... misread the announcement. Thought that I14 had gone on the test servers already (as of 20th Feb actually). Serves me right for not paying full attention to the post.
Still, to say im extremely excited about I14 would be the understatement of the decade. As far as im concerned, this is a landmark update not just for CoX but for MMO's in general. Seriously -- there's not many online games out there which allow you to create your own content and those that do exist aren't nearly handsome as CoX (Second Life comes to mind, but considering you have to PAY for the majority of that stuff...).
The three mission restriction doesn't phase me in the slightest, to be honest. I'm going to be filling every single one of them with the best missions im capable of. And, with a little luck, perhaps create some content that's enjoyed by everyone.
Characters:
The Heroic Mary Grace (50)
The Mystical Thunderspark (50)
The Candy-loving Little Jenny (50)
Great post from Kitsune9tails across the pond details (and links) some nice new Mission Architect details.

DOOOM? Ok, any such system is a good thing. And that you only can transfer tickets earned for OTHERS playing your arc is clearly encouraging more people write more. On the other hand that can make usual fan dumb intrigues and popularity contests more vicious. And on the still other hand, hey, we have zone PvP, market PvP, and now MA PvP...

I'm wondering.. can you recreate your avatar villian as a boss? Armed with all his powers?
I always wanted my villian to fight my main hero. in fact, the poor guy has spent the last couple of years looking for him .
Poor sod doesnt realise he's in a game and they're both on the same account..
Think how happy he'll be if they can come face to face...
Don't get into a flap. It's only my opinion and I'm thick
Arc 56763 Lord Anarchys heaven
2 mission arc. Bring friends cause Lord Anarchy means business...
That's partly why the system had been taken out of I13 and turned into I14, so that players could create their Hero or Villain and put them into the missions. Also another reason why there's a save/load costume option ingame.
I am the Blaster, I have filled the role of Tank, Controller and Defender
Sometimes all at once.
Union EU player! Pip pip, tally ho, top hats and tea etc etc
You can recreate cossie/poversets but as far as I understand, specifying details of the build (what powers exactly are taken, how they're enhanced, etc.) won't be available due to AI limitations. (And custom AVs can only take 1 pool.)

Powersets, yes, but your ability to chose individual powers is limited.
And it's possible some powersets may be unavailable.
I really should do something about this signature.
Research of the screenshots show..
You create a boss..
You create a costume (you can load from previously saved)
You pick a primary power set
You pick a secondary power set
You pick a travel power (Like: Cabal can fly)
You pick how the boss reacts in battle (Likes Melee or ranged or...)
You can pick how the boss reacts when the battle goes wrong (fight or run to safe himself)
That means you can place some of youre playstyle into the toon. But you will be limited in picking the powers.

The Dev's choice will only be the best of the best and the popularity of a creator will not effect it that much. This comes because the rating system is also global.
If youre an incredible popular player/creator on UNION... you will not get enough ratings to get into the list even if you get all sub's on UNION voting 5 stars for you. This means you need to get the votes from the other servers too. As they never heard of you will get a better rating. Getting into the high ranks will NOT be easy.
I can't wait to play those who managed though.

Don't think I've seen anything mentioning this, but I had the impression that you could pick the powersets but had no ability to tweak which powers were picked from the set.
PRAF - You spotted something I haven't (in which case can you point me at it please?) or are you just hedging?
Admittedly not able to customise which powers in a set are utilised could be described as 'limited', i.e. limited to the point of unavailability.

[/ QUOTE ]
More than possible. It has been stated that EATs (i.e. kheld and arachnos player charcters) powersets won't be in at launch.
Although I'd guess that you should be able to get a fairish approximation of a kheldian/arachnos character using the NPC powersets that already exist in game. I think a big thing missing would be the kheldian shapeshifting, but then I wouldn't expect that to be done too intelligently if the devs had to develop it for the player powersets!
Of course, dev positions may change - but this one was recent enough and specific enough that I'd guess we won't see them at launch.
I think some early talk about MM powers not being available, but these seem mentioned on the screens released last week. Good old devs - seem to be underpromising and overdelivering as I thought they would.
By my mohawk shall ye know me!
my toons
Funny: Ee-Ai-Ee-Ai-Oh! #3662 * The foul-mouthed Handyman! #1076 * City of Norms #132944
Serious: To Save A Single World (#83744) * Marketing Opportunity (#83747)
The Thug powerset is on the screens... So it will be in.
The powersets can be picked in impossible comboes... you can now make an Super Str/Regen tanker if you want... or a Manticore clone using Archery/Trick Arrow.
The system descides for you which powers the toon will use. Chance it that that will be influenced by the way you let the toon play. A ranged fight style will give dark blasts... a support fight style Fearsome Stare .. etc.
As it is stated on the US forums you can also make AV's... it is highly likely that on creating AV's AV regen and ress will be implemented. If you check the paragonwiki you can see what Bosses, Elite Bosses and Arch Villains have for powers.

I think the MA buildings will be in all the normal City zones:
1 - Atlas Park
2 - Galaxy City
3 - Kings Row
4 - Skyway City
5 - Steel Canyon
6 - Talos Island
7 - Founders Falls
8 - Brickstown
9 - Perigrine Island
with possibly Faultline and Pocket D too, so that'd make 11 out of 19, meaning there'd be 8 in the Villain zones - would that be too many or too few over there?
[/ QUOTE ]
Apparently co-op missions are possible, so at least one MA much be in a co-op zone. Pocket D would seem the obvious choice.
Add that and the main villain zones to your list and it still only comes to 17 though.
Maybe Croatoa, Strigia and Faultline need to to be considered as candidates too? I doubt there is one in the Storm Palace.
I really should do something about this signature.
