This arc is very well-written. It has good dialog and great bios. It was lots of fun to play on my low level villain. It was challenging enough to be fun, but easy enough to solo. I am not sure if it was by intent, but I earned several MA badges while playing.

If you are looking for a low level arc that is lots of fun to play, this is a great choice!

@Jinkobi

I played this arc because it was an entry in Trekkin's monthly arc contests and I really enjoyed it. It was fun and creative, with nice customs and some humor that really made me smile.

If you are looking for something different and fun and are open to enjoy a CoH spoof, this is a great choice!

NOTE (see author's description below):
A comedic look at what it 'might' be like to try and get to know our sweet Ms. Liberty a bit better. This is a comedy- not something nasty. *note* This is a SPOOF of COH and a situation. Don't have a seizure when Ms. Liberty says "Uncle Recluse".

Thank you so much for submitting an arc!

Remember everyone is encouraged to submit arcs they enjoy and you are welcome to submit one of your own so long as you submit someone else's arc at the same time.

You can also submit one of your own if you play an arc listed in this thread and post something you liked about it.

I just wanted to stop by and thank everyone for their work on putting together this list and the love that's obviously been poured into many of these arcs. I recently made a character with the intent of leveling them up solely through MA, just to see what other players had come up with, and I have been delighted and entertained non-stop for the past two days. I've been having so much fun, in fact, that I brought my friends and even a few strangers along with me on some of them.

This is a fantastic resource and I really appreciate having access to it.

Thank you so much.

I was caught up in fixing my arcs for the recent filter patch and this is the first chance I had to get back to this thread.

I found this arc in a thread from Talen Lee. It was well written and fun to play. I enjoyed the small bits of humor mixed in the arc.

If you are looking for a mid-level villainous arc that is fun to play this is a good choice.

It is labeled heroic, but I would classify it as vigilante. If you are looking for a vigilante type arc that is fun to play, this is a very good choice.

I recommended it early in the thread, but it was broken for the longest time. Now that it's fixed, I'll recommend it again.

Arc 39008 - The Time Bandits
by IantheM1

An arc with clever nods to Paragon City history and a grand bit of wit.


We'll always have Paragon.

Thanks for recommending this! I remember hearing how good it was before and not being able to play it.

Thanks!

I updated the lists to add this arc. I put it under Medium on the Sorted by Category page.

Is there any other category I should also put it in?

Picked this one a couple of weeks ago from the announcement thread. Funny and nice story involving time travel.

Today I played "The Missing Geneticist". It was fun and creative, had good clues and some nice customs.

Thanks Sente for submitting it.

I re-played this arc because I was looking for something quick and fun. I played it a long time ago and I had forgotten how many different customs there were. I enjoyed the arc even more the second time around. The customs were great, complete with bios. The arc was easy to solo on a level 35

If you are looking for an arc that is creative, quick, and fun to play, this is a great choice.

I played Vigilante, 395861, a fun, solid arc with a good variety of mobs. It has some very creative elements to it, especially in the last mission.

I may not post often enough to qualify to submit, but I'll throw one of mine into the hat -- Condemning Croatoa, arc 245534, which is at 4 stars currently and is designed for villains to solo. The only thing I think it needs is some color dialog text, (need to figure out the conventions on that) and the time manipulation powerset for one of the custom bosses.

Thanks for playing my arc. I am so glad that you enjoyed it.

I will add your arc to the list. There is no requirement to post a lot. I just wanted to be sure that the people who have arcs on the list still play CoH. People work hard on their arcs and love feedback and so I would rather have feedback go to people who are around to appreciate it.

I played 477906 - One Night Bridge V30-54 and have to say it was excellent. It had a real moral dillemna--I chose the side that made me fail the arc, but was very happy with my choice.

(Makes me wish there was a way to side with one or other side to flip-flop allies--but I suspect the mechanics and the story mechanics would be tricky to allow for either branching or just to make sense with two paths).

It had a creative use of maps, dialog, and even powersets to make up for the fact that we can't use Kheldians in the arcs. There was one map in the middle that was sort of long, that I wish was the crey portal map instead, but, I am not even sure that's available--that's me overthinking it.

Great stuff!

I am going to plug another of mine too--very few plays--but they resulted in an honest 4 stars. 183832 - Save the diver, Save the world.

You know I love WADDLE and at least one of your arcs is in the list. If you have another one you want to add, just submit it here along with someone else's arc you like or one from this list that you have played and enjoyed.
