After a too-long hiatus from writing MA storyarcs, I'm getting back into the groove of things again. I'm creating this thread to consolidate my arc announcements and to gather feedback for all my arcs. I'll be creating some new arcs over the next few weeks, as well as going back and reworking my existing arcs.

When providing feedback for my arcs (whether here or in-game), mention if you have an arc you'd like me to play in return. I'll do my best to reciprocate.

Synopsis: Mender Silos has determined that in the very near future, the speed powers of the supersonic Synapse will be used to create time distortions that will destroy all of reality.

NEW STORYARC!

Arc Name: Heart of the Matter
Arc ID: 425526
Factions: Nemesis Automatons, Malta Operatives, Elite Vahzilok
Morality: Hero
Length: 3 Missions
Level Range: 40-54
Synopsis: Someone has done the unthinkable: stolen donated organs meant for dying children. Can you discover the identity of the thief and recover the organs while they're still viable for use?


Feedback request: I'm always looking for general feedback on story aspects of all my arcs, of course, but for this one I'd specifically like to hear what you think about the custom faction "Elite Vahzilok." This arc is sort of a "beta test" for the group, as I intend to use them in something much bigger down the road. Let me know what you think of them, especially in terms of balance concerns and visuals. Thanks!
