Arcs that give max amounts of tickets ????

Since all the recent changes to AE I cannot find a good arc that offers a decent amount of tickets. I used to be able to max out the tickets no matter what type of mission I ran but now I am lucky if I can get 200 hundred tickets after running an arc and missions that are shorter barely give crap now. Anyone got any good, non-expoitive ae arcs they can provide that allow you to hit the max ticket level. I am addicted to bronze rolls and low level random arcane salvage (love those luck charms) but at the moment it is simply not even worth trying cause the end result feels like a complete waste of time ie Wow I got 52 tickets for a mission complete bonus. Input would be appreciated. Thanks.

Find an arc that uses standard mobs (or one that says it has custom mobs adjusted for max experience in I17) and does not have captives, escorts or allies. When you start it check that the XP given for mobs is the same as XP given in regular missions. That should give maximum tickets.

Also, it appears that once you have freed a captive and the captive leaves the map, you get more experience (and therefore more tickets). That suggests a strategy of freeing captives first, then going through the map to defeat mobs, then finish the final objective (defeat a boss, click a glowie, or whatever).

I've changed a couple of my arcs to reduce the number of captives and place them near the front of the mission to make the ticket rewards better, at least until the devs fix the captive/escort/ally problem.

All you have to do is make an arc of your own. A defeat all on a large outdoors map should do the trick. Use enemies you feel comfortable with, crank up the difficulty to whatever you can handle and go to town. Don't forget to unpublish this crap after you're done - you don't forget to flush, do you?

What do you run settings wise? My tank runs +1 x8 heroes which will cap me in many AE missions. If you are are running at a lower level, then I don't think you will find much storywise that maxs map tickets. If you are running at settings close to mine, I can point you to several story arcs that give max tickets at that level.

Check out one of my most recent arcs:
457506 - A Very Special Episode - An abandoned TV, a missing kid's TV show host and more
416951 - The Ms. Manners Task Force - More wacky villains, Wannabes. things in poor taste
or one of my other arcs including two 2010 Player's Choice Winners and an2009 Official AE Awards Nominee for Best Original Story

Well, I went and created a defeat all mission with the 5th Column as they are pretty easy. I used the outdoor steel canyon map. I have minions, Lt's, and bosses. Worked out ok but the ticket drops were still a little weak. Only got 462 tickets and that includes the bonus at mission complete. Not exactly the amount I was looking for but it is a start. Gonna switch to a smaller map and increase the number of villians to see what happens. Still looking for input from people to recomend their favorite ticket missions as well.
