I just tried to play this arc on a lvl 6 kin/DP defender, as it has a lvl 1-54 level range. Mission 1 was OK, although the RPG mobs were annoying because of the Knockback (at this lvl without acro that's not really your fault).
Mission 2 looked interesting, but the first group of mobs I met had 2 lt Sorceror Privateers, who stacked slows on me and healed each other. I was absolutely unable to damage either of them enough to overcome their heals. After 3 deaths I ragequit.
So my feedback on your difficulty is: Too Hard for a lvl 6 Kin/DP Def, and that's before even meeting any 'epic' Bosses.
Eco.

"1-54" looks like a good idea to many new mission authors (like me) because you're thinking in terms of the widest possible access/audience. But it's really a good idea to set a lower bound; players will be bumped up to that automatically, and it's a good hint that characters lower than that might not have the powers necessary to deal with what's in the arc (bosses, mezzers, etc).
Likewise, now that SSK means that we can gain xp at ANY level even when exemped down, there's no reason not to set an upper bound if you want more control over what spawns.
I'll try to play the arc and give you some more feedback this weekend.

Some stuff before I give the arc ID.
I don't need story feedback. I'm fine there. Specifically what I'm looking for is gameplay feedback. Even more specifically, I'm looking for difficulty feedback.
See, the problem I'm running into is I don't know how hard to make this. I don't want this to be a "challenge your abilities" arc. It's a story-based mission arc and I want people to play it for the story. Making it too hard will scare people away.
On the other hand making the bosses all too easy will ruin the epic feel I've tried to give it.
But again, this is a story-based mission arc so it HAS to be solo-able so people can actually experience the story.
So yeah, I'm stuck. My friends keep saying they'll help me out but it's been like six months and not a single one of the dozens has so much as looked at it despite promising they would, so I'm coming here to ask for help.
