And finally there will be a forum thread called Devs Choice: For Your Consideration where players can post arcs they think should be considered for Devs Choice. The two guidelines being, you cant promote your own arc (thatll likely happen in some other forum somewhere else) and you cant disagree with anyone elses suggestion (again, thatll happen in some other thread).

This right here calms any worries i had about the devs choice feature, thanks for the update Av!
@Damz Find me on the global channel Union Chat. One of the best "chat channels" ingame!
This is really helpful, thanks.
One question - thethread for nuding the devs to consider an arc - areyou limited to one recommendation?
Just wondering because I try out a lot of arcs and I want to know if I would have one bolt to shoot, in this regard.
I thought Castle was the Chosen One? Doesn't the prophecy say he'll bring balance to the Game?

So, what about the Dev Choices at the moment?
Some of them are indeed worthy of that place...some simply aren't. In a major way, in some played cases.

There will be a thread here, and as there will be fewer posts on it, the chances of the devs seeing them will be higher - another benefit of the Euro servers

Another question Av, will the devs choice arcs ever get refreshed?

I'm sorry all, we wanted to wait a bit for players to familiarise themselves with the Mission Architect and then the whole MA exploit issue exploded.
Now that things are on track for the Mission Architect to be improved, the "Devs Choice: For Your Consideration" section should be added soon, next week if we can have the big changes sorted by the middle of next week.

She means the farming and PL missions which place the Risk/Reward ratio out of whack will be removed from the MA.
Getting rid of about 70% of the arcs currently in the MA making it easier to find actual story arcs in there rather than just PL and farming junk.

It took an American to think that the posts on the EU boards would be read
"Well, they found my diary today.
They were appropriately appalled
at the discovery of the eight victims
They're now putting it all together.
Women wrapped in silk
with one leg missing
Eight legs, one body, silk,
spider, brilliant!"
All it takes now is to get your story arc noticed in the first place.... *cough sig *cough *cough
Hey All,
There have been a number of questions on the boards about the Devs Choice program and obtaining The Chosen One badge. Weve decided to release a little more information to clear up some of the misconceptions about this program and give players some valuable advice on how to get their missions noticed.
Devs Choice is a way for us to recognize stories that represent what the Mission Architect can do best. Those stories are personally selected for Devs Choice based on the feedback from the Development Team and they are great for those looking for a fun mission to play.
So what do we consider when choosing between stories when deciding which should be selected for Devs choice?
<ul type="square">[*]We found the arc thoroughly enjoyable to play. [*]We want to share that experience with others. [*]The arc found a balance between fun gameplay and a decent story. [*]Theres no apparent way to exploit the missions.[/list]
Having your story selected for Devs Choice is beneficial in a number of ways. Devs Choice stories do not count against your total published arcs. If you have three published arcs and one of them gets turned into Devs Choice, you will be able to publish a fourth. If one of those three arcs gets flagged as Devs Choice, you will be able to publish a fifth, and so on. These stories visually stand out in the Mission Browser, and Players can filter specifically for Devs Choice content. Of course, the creator of a mission selected for Devs Choice gets the rare and coveted The Chosen One badge.
Please note that because Devs Choice stories are hand picked by the Developers, we want to ensure that the caliber of their content persists. To that end, we lock the story permanently on our Arc Server, preserving it in its chosen state. This does not mean that you cant change or update your story if you decide to do so after it has been selected. However, you will have to republish this story as a second story, without the Devs Choice standing. The original story that was chosen for Devs Choice will still be available to everyone.
The final question is How do I get my story selected by the Developers? One of the things weve noticed while on the Training Room is that certain stories begin to build a buzz. Players talk about them in the chat window, posts start to appear on the forums, the Community takes notice and as such, the Developers take interest. We talk about them in between meetings and over lunch. When we log in to play, we look for these stories weve heard about. When we play them and they fill the criteria for what we believe to be the Best of Architect, we mark it as such. Devs Choice missions will be chosen like this, organically. But to give you some guidelines of things that can help you get noticed, we recommend the following:
<ul type="square">[*]Get people to play your story offer to play their story in exchange. [*]Humbly solicit feedback and implement changes based off of what other players are saying about your content. [*]Play, rate and comment on others stories, this helps build a community of authors. [*]And finally there will be a forum thread called Devs Choice: For Your Consideration where players can post arcs they think should be considered for Devs Choice. The two guidelines being, you cant promote your own arc (thatll likely happen in some other forum somewhere else) and you cant disagree with anyone elses suggestion (again, thatll happen in some other thread).[/list]
We would also like to add that our French and German players will indeed be included in this program. Their stories will be reviewed by a team of French and German natives and the same criteria will be taken into account for the Devs Choice status and the corresponding The Chosen One badge to be awarded.
So that is the Devs choice program. As you can see, it is fairly simple and straightforward; we wanted a chance to reward those who write good stories and a way to point them out to everyone as content that is reliably high quality. Were very excited about MA and cant wait to see what you will do with it!
