Very well written, really good costume design for his custom Nemesis. The story was very good. Just waiting on part two now

Totally agree with this. I like the allies in the arc especially Psion and Gorgon, nice take on some familiar heroes.

Came on to nominate an arc i love....On a side note however about the previous arc if the devs/gm's get round to it, its designed for a large team of 8 or so and is extremely difficult the further you get in!

anyway, back to the nomination!

ARC: 47625
NAME: Shadows In Your Mind
BY: @Soul Storm

REASON: Fantastic Storyline, great set of original characters with a well balanced enemy group.

Dude... Have you just warned the developers of this game that your mish is hard?

I'm pretty sure the [I win] button will just about get them through it

I'd like to add my vote for this to get 'Dev'd'

This has always been a decent arc but the author has put in a lot of time re-editing it...to balance the powers and the look of the custom mobs. The difficulty nicely ramps up as you get into the story. It's soloable however, especially if you can 'spoiler ahead' stay at range from the EB / AV

Heh, yeah that mish was fun. Made a bit less so since they stealth-removed the WSPDR mobile generators I also had on that map =[ Had to replace them with a stand in (Rikti A-Bombs) for now.

Thank you for this thread, EU boards people!

I see this was brought over from the EU forums. Funny how the NA moderators promised they'd do something like this a while back, then never got around to it. Eh, I'll make some nominations anyway, as futile as it may be.

Please note, you cannot promote your own arc and you can’t disagree with anyone else’s suggestion.

Additionally, you may suggest several arcs in your post as long as you provide all necessary details to allow us to find them easily.

Your answer is in that quote...


@Doctor Gemini

Arc #271637 - Welcome to M.A.G.I. - An alternative first story arc for magic origin heroes. At Hero Registration you heard the jokes about Azuria always losing things. When she loses the entire M.A.G.I. vault, you are chosen to find it.

It's pretty much the best arc in the system right now, no joke. Excellent writing and great ending, along with being well-balanced in terms of enemy types and encounter difficulty.

To give you an idea of how great this arc is: when I posted the arc as a suggestion for someone to play as a good solo arc about a week or two ago in a thread, it had about 68 total votes, and has, in that short span of time, shot up to 222 votes and is maintaining a 5-star rating.

I've played a lot of great arcs. I mean a lot of really well put together, very entertaining, thoroughly enjoyable arcs. But I know the Devs have limited time, so I'm limiting my list to the few most memorable arcs I've played:

Arc ID 140423 Blight
Arc ID 67335 Teen Phalanx Forever!
Arc ID 190069 Captain Dynamic, the Great, Faces the Great Face

My recommendations:

I'm curious. Is this the only place you're looking for suggestions, Avatea? There are many other threads in the Mission Architect: Stories board and this one that have commented on the worthiness of other arcs. I'd hate to see those arcs left in the dark simply because someone didn't note them here.


The SOLUS Foundation - a Liberty and Pinnacle SG

"The Consequences of War" - Arcs # 227331 and 241496

I'd like to nominate the following two arcs:

Consequences of War Part I - @dalghryn - 227331
Consequences of War Part II - @dalghryn - 241496

I'd also like to nominate this arc and 100% agree with the statement above. Great writing, awesome arc.

I support these two arcs as well.


I believe that a Kheldian Gold Standard should be based on SO's, and for anything above that... there's Platinum!

I'm not posting to nominate an arc, but I think this thread should probably be cross-posted into the MA: Stories and Lore section as well. I can't speak for everyone but I know that I rarely ever come to this forum (Since I see this one as being more about the technical aspects of the MA which I don't really have any trouble with) while I go to that one a lot more frequently.


Astoria in D Minor, a horror arc. Arc ID: 41565 - The Beating Heart of Astoria: A Play in Five Acts. Arc ID: 170547 - Ignition of the Machine, a story with robots. Arc ID: 318983

Ok, I'm pretty new at playing MA arcs, and have only written one of my own, so my opinion may be worth a hill of beans. I have played a few Developer's Choice arcs, and I played a mission arc tonight that is easily as well done as the Dev's arcs I have played. I would like you to consider:

A Series of Tubes
#41781
@JChaos

The arc was funny, with a good story line, well written dialog, and what was for my lvl 44 Scrapper running solo, a perfectly solo-able and entertaining arc. It is "very long" with five missions, but the varied length and variety of the missions made time fly with it. Creative, humorous without being "cutesy." Overall, the most enjoyable arc I have played so far. There have not been a lot of ratings for it, but I hope that changes soon!
