Don't Freak - Input Requested
Will play the custom made ones within an hour, however EU > NA comments dont work so i'll send you a PM on here with my feedback
Will use two characters, an elec/fire scrapper [lvl 38] and an ill/rad controller [level 50] to test it out with two completely different playstyles.
@Damz Find me on the global channel Union Chat. One of the best "chat channels" ingame!
While I got no direct responses posted in this thread, I did get feedback on both arcs.
I want to specifically thank Wrong Number and MrCaptainMan for providing me with detailed feedback and thanks also to the members of the MA Super Group who played yesterday.
The verdict was that the Custom's Version was better liked. So I unpublished the other version and what now remains is:
Don't Freak (Customs Version): 384769 - @Gypsy Rose
Since I was unable to come up with non-annoying powers for my Gloom Freak, I dropped him from the custom group. Instead, I created a Neat Freak (thanks to the MA player who mentioned that to me yesterday). I actually had an office mate once like that. He had magazines on his desk and all had to be lined up perfectly or he would go nuts.
I created this arc orginally because I love fighting Freaks and I wanted to learn MA. When Bubba announced his latest contest, I started looking for one mission arcs to nominate and found farm after farm. That inspired me to re-visit my original arc.
My hope is that this arc can work on different levels.
The first is for people who like me enjoy fighting Freaks.
The second is for people who may relate to the humor in the arc and get a smile. I have learned however that humor is very subjective and so not all people will find the arc funny. As hard as it my be to believe, the members of Efficiency Inc. have bios based on actual people I have worked with.
The third level of the arc is a commentary on outsourcing. I work in IT and my company has shrunk form about 8000 employees to about 1000. I am fortunate to still have a job, but many people I have worked with are not so lucky. I added this aspect of the arc to poke fun at what I believe is a serious issue that impacts lots of people.
I am still very eager for feedback, especially as to if the customs' powersets are now OK.
Again I ask that you not rate if you are someone who believes that no one mission arc deserves a 5 star rating.
Thanks again to all who played and gave me input.

In response to Bubba's latest contest, I decided to enhance my first ever MA arc, which was a one mission arc that involves fighting Freaks.
At the moment, I have two published versions of the arc. In one, you fight only Freaks. In the other, you fight Freaks and some customs.
If any of you have time to play both, I would like input on which you prefer.
If you play the version with the customs, I would like specifically like input on the customs' powersets. I think that all are OK now except the boss. The boss is a Gloom Freak and I believe he has some powers that were mentioned as being disliked. So input as to appropriate, non-annoying powers for a Gloom Freak would be much appreciated.
As always any input is welcomed. As for ratings, what I request is that you rate it with the concept that a 1 mission arc could be 5 stars. It is one mission and will stay that way. It will not help me if you take off from the rating simply because it is only 1 mission. If you would never give a 1 mission arc 5 stars, then I request that you don't rate it, but would still love your feedback.
The arc info is as follows:
Don't Freak (Customs Version): 384769 - @Gypsy Rose
Don't Freak: 384767 - @Gypsy Rose
Thanks in advance for your input
