The mission has been banned as of today for anyone that went looking for it and wondered what happened.

Only way to find it was to look under Topdocs name.

If CEBR was banned all of TopDoc's missions would be unpublished and unpublishable as well. The fact that you can still find anything by TopDoc indicates that he unpublished it or renamed it, himself.

When you search for his mission you find nothing. When you search for Topdoc by name you can find CEBR.

The arc has a little hand inside a circle icon on it now. When you hover over it the icon displays banned.

edited for clarity.

So glad I bothered to roll a CEBR a week or two ago. Well, at least I got her up to level 25 (and yes, much to my chagrin she is a catgirl; I am not overly proud of this). One problem solved though: I rolled her on my new second account, but was disappointed that I wouldn't get to play her in AE after the account goes Premium later this month (alt-itis and life would have assured that she would not reach 50 by then). Don't need to worry about that anymore, I guess.

Did 40->44 in, I guess 40 minutes, and didn't trigger it.

Topdoc said in channels that it got banned.

Hopefully he didn't. Still not sure how it went this long only to be banned now though.

So if it was banned I guess the devs dont want us doing ambush missions wonder if it also means that we are offenders and our toons will be dev smacked or accounts banned?

Guess we will know in a few weeks if cebr was worth it or nor.

This is some seriously Pancaked waffled CREPES! Whatever, I play the game and I have fun, but this does seem rather a put-down.

'I don't like the look of it at all,' said the King: 'however, it may kiss my hand if it likes.'
'I'd rather not,' the Cat remarked.
'Don't be impertinent,' said the King, 'and don't look at me like that!' He got behind Alice as he spoke.
'A cat may look at a king,' said Alice.

But I hope strongly that they assume a meth-head somehow managed to hack into my forum account and make paper airplanes out of my posts, because I hope they recognize stupid when they see it. I assume they will recognize futile just as accurately.

Huh. I'll have to check when I get back home tonight. If so, Valley Kitten will just have to get her future tickets the old-fashioned way.

Though it does leave me wondering. First we find out the devs are tracking inf/XP gain rates via MARTy, then we find out MARTy's no longer shutting anyone down in Live, but now CEBR is a dead farm? Connect the dots, and its an interesting picture.

Yeah, guess they don't really have to penalize players when they can simply remove any content they don't like since MARTy gives them an easy way to find that content now.

Hey everyone, Beorn again.

TopDoc sent me this to post here. He's not been banned, but he IS one of the folks who have been hit by the can't-log-into-the-forum bug. And he writes:

First 50 on Exalted, unless there was someone redside doing the same thing. I was looking forward to starting the Level 50 thread in the Exalted forum too. Oh well. My CEBR mission got banned around the time I hit 40, even though I wasn't triggering MARTy (that I noticed). I /petitioned it, asking why it was banned, and stating that I have been discussing it openly in the CoH forums for a month and a half. I was told the petition would be reviewed by a Senior Specialist and I should receive a reply by Wednesday 6 PM. So far I haven't heard anything. I looked around and found a few other CEBR missions, so I used them to hit 50.
So, let us just relax, hang loose, and see where this goes.

By the way, I received this email around 45 minutes ago. Posted as soon as I could.

Tell him to just go to the main NC site, and change his password (you can even change it to the same password). Then he should have forum access.

Just as an fyi it may not like the same password and you would need to change it.

Possibly, but it let me keep the same password when I couldn't log into the forums.

The password change thing took me resetting it three times before it finally took. My thought is that it had a timer between the reset and the time it updated the Forum's database.

It let me change it to the exact same thing.

Er...

When an arc is banned, supposedly all that happens is *that mission* is banned *and the slot is locked.* (IE, of the 3 default slots, you'd now only have two.) Unless they changed it - and I don't recall hearing about this change - other missions would remain the same.

So if I had:
MB's Awesome Arc
MB's Storytime Fun
MB's 1-50 in 3 minute exploit

#3 would be gone and the slot locked, but you should still find #1 and #2.

I am legitimately surprised that ANYONE is shocked about having these types of arcs closed. While I had fun in CEBR, I saw right away how aberrant the arc was from "normal" play... and thought to myself "if this thread and that arc isn't locked soonish... I would be surprised."

Lo and behold...

Back during the Posi-rage extravaganza I had all 3 of my slots locked from one petition. How it works now, I couldn't say, you are correct.
