New Dev Choice - Wholesale Soul Sale - Arc ID 4178

I've never played this arc, but hooray for there being at least 1 redname that's aware this forum exists!

Hopefully this is a sign that we'll be getting dev's choices a lot more frequently now.

Congo Rats to the author <^_^> I haven't played this either as I'm not much for villainy; but it's always good to see someone recognized.

Put on the list to play.

I'm looking forward to other reviews.

Speaking as one of Sluggy's SGmates and a fellow author -- kudos! It's a terrific arc and deserves to be highlighted.

Joining in with the applause, as another SGmate who enjoyed the "hell" out of this arc.

And even if I wasn't, thanks very much for getting the Dev's Choice category moving forward again.

Fearghas recommended this arc to me about two months ago. It's quite fun.

I just wanted to say congratulations Wonderslug! I just played the arc and enjoyed it. I had never heard of it before now so it is awesome that it is getting some well deserved recognition.

'Bout damn time Sluggy got some respect.

Finally getting some DCs that weren't played out 4 months ago is a definite win. Looks like Doc Aeon has some good tastes.

I've played this arc and found it to be pretty good. Gratz to the author!

I like that you're posting threads about the new Dev Choice arcs and explaining why you liked them! I hope you'll continue to do so, and thanks for the new Dev Choice arc!

Congrats Wonderslug!

I played this arc quite a while ago, from what I recall it was a fun premise and nicely executed. I really liked the contact, if I'm thinking of the right arc.

Just finished playing it. Not bad.

gratz to author

and they guy who is kneeing has an awesome costume i might steal it

Thanks, all.

Wholesale was my second arc, the one that's seen the most tweaks and, thus far, the one I'm happiest with, so I was pleased when Dr. Aeon gave me a head's up over the weekend--if somewhat surprised, since I really haven't done much promotion of my stuff, and it kind of fell off the radar after a brief flurry of plays when Lazarus stumbled across it and reviewed it.

I keep meaning to put up a consolidated thread for my arcs as soon as I get another one finished. Maybe this will finally motivate me to finish up the several I have in various stages of completion.

I just played this arc and I really enjoyed it. It was so much fun to play and had lots of little details that made me smile. Gratz!

I am really glad to see a new Dev's choice.

probably should have posted sooner, but been busy with my own threads.

Gratz on the Dev Choice pick, this is going much better than the last new Dev choice where we all said "who heard of this arc, and why didn't we hear anything about it anywhere." This time it's all smiles and roses. As it should be. Here's to more!

Gratz WS!

Congrats, I am gonna check this out really soon

Welcome to the DC club o.o *also has one*.

It's a club of.. people who don't know each other and never talk.. so I guess it isn't really a club at all, especially since they took away our ******* badge.

Grats though, I'm sure it's worth it

This is a very welcome addition to the dev's choice list. I just played it and it is indeed worthy of the honor. Any chance that the translation of the Legacy Chain into higher levels will become canon? Cause I'd love to fight them in zones and in Dev created mission at higher levels. Same goes for the Midnighter Squad.

I'd love to see "official" high-level Legacy and Wyvern, but I think the canonical stance is that by the time you hit 30, they can no longer keep up with you (Serafina excepted)--there's one mission in the 40s where you kidnap a Legacy researcher, but the contact says pretty much just that, and the researcher himself is a normal civillian model.

That makes a certain amount of sense, and I can see the appeal of that in terms of story progression, but a) there's nothing to indicate that this is what's happening except for one mission from one guy ten levels later, so for all practical purposes they just disappear for no reason* and b) an unfortunate side effect is that in the 30+ game your only real "heroic" foes include Longbow, Longbow, Longbow, and more damn Longbow, who I consider to be some of the least visually interesting guys in the entire game. It's like fighting a heavily armed group of people who for some unfathomable reason all decided to be candy canes for Halloween.

I also think it's silly how little level overlap there is between the various types of Legacy, so for big patches of time you see all fire or all earth types, which is rather dull.

So yeah. I generally like to stick with established canon where applicable, but this is one instance where I have no trouble telling canon to get bent

*Tsoo are another big offender here. Both mechanically and canonically they're pretty badass, so why do they just *vanish* at 30/40?
