Excellent Arcs

Last night, I replayed "Against the Wickerwork Khan" by @Clave Dark 5. Really fun. Highly recommended for creative customs and a fun retelling of the Clockwork King/Penelope Yin dynamic. I just didn't get down the Arc ID.

I don't know off hand which arcs of mine are mentioned on this list without going back through all 10 pages. But, in honor of its being recently revamped a month or so back, and in honor of the plush little arctic fowl my girlfriend won for me yesterday at the local arcade (she hit the jackpot on one of the "stop the light in this spot and get a bunch of tickets" games while I was playing Skee Ball), I hereby recommend my own arc:

PENGUIN, arc 29205, by @Tubbius. Levels 30-40. Security Guards, Crey, and Winter Horde, with an NPC ally in the third mission.

I played this arc because it was an entry in Trekkin's monthly arc contests. It had a good story, made good use of clues and had nice customs with good bios. I especially liked the last return dialog.

If you are looking for a rogue arc that is fun to play this is a really good choice.

This was a fun, amusing, lowbie arc. I liked the fact that the story is supposed to be humorous rather than serious but it is not too silly to take you out of your character (for those to whom such things matter).

My own arc is also a lowbie arc, ideally for a brand new character, but playable by levels 1-14.

I played No More Fires For This Marshall. I agree with Doctor_Gemini. It was a fun arc to play and a good choice for a low level hero.

Thanks for playing it and the kind words

*edit* by the way, you have it listed as being levels 5-14, and it is actually 1-10 (I recently lowered the top end). Only the last mission requires level 5, by which time anyone who starts the arc at level 1 or 2 should be level 5.


@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.

I think I updated the levels. Let me know if I missed anywhere.

Thanks again for submitting it.

I found this arc in PW's contact tree and I really enjoyed it. It makes great use of clues, has nice customs with bios, and has a good story that kept my interest alll the way through.

If you are looking for a very well-crafted mid level story arc, this is a great choice!

One minor request, ArrowRose?

I've long since officially shortened the name of PENGUIN to use only the acronym itself. If you could, please change up the title in your initial post to match?

Thank you!

I changed this and also fixed the level.

If anyone else has made a change to their arc that they would like reflected here, let me know.

I went to make some updates to Hopeless and was quietly creeped out by the fact that, when I ran it, nothing was bugged, nothing needed changing, and nothing was different. I was sure that something would have broken it. It's kinda weird that that means it hasn't been hit by any patch in the past... year? Eighteen months?

This is one of my favorite arcs. It is full of details, makes great use of clues, and has a mystery that makes it so much fun to play.

If you are looking for a well crafted arc that is lots of fun to play this is a great choice.

Thanks for the add of the arc Rose. It went into 4 star hell after being griefed to within an inch of it's life.

An arc with clever nods to Paragon City history and a grand bit of wit.
Thanks for the recommendation. I played this arc and really enjoyed it. It had nice customs, was well written, and had nice bits of humor mixed in.

The rating system is worthless .... we need something different!


- The Italian Job: The Godfather Returns #1151
Beginner - Encounter a renewed age for the Mook and the Family when Emile Marcone escapes from the Zig!
- Along Came a... Bug!? #528482
Average - A new race of aliens arrives on Earth. And Vanguard has you investigate them!
- The Court of the Blood Countess: The Rise of the Blood Countess #3805
Advanced - Go back in time and witness the birth of a vampire. Follow her to key moments in her life in order to stop her! A story of intrigue, drama and horror! Blood & Violence... not recommend to solo!
