Understood. The devs abandonment of AE updates is a real sour point for me as I feel they really do not do the feature justice by ignoring it except to nerf it.
At the very least there should be a semi-annual update to at least add the new powersets, but hey nobody can make them and they apparently don't even care anymore. Shameful.
The development team and this community deserved better than this from NC Soft. Best wishes on your search.
If you are making a proper usage of Mission Architect - that is, restricting yourself to the creation of farming content - then you will not have a need for such exotic features or meaningful dev updates.

IDK, I guess I am one of those strange exotic people that uses it for many of the things that it is capable of doing like mini task forces, making story arcs, special challenges, serial super group storylines, teaming with friends to do special A level arcs, ticket farming, self powerleveling etc....

Honestly they really haven't added much new to in quite a long time. Even just some of the powersets that have been out now for awhile (beam rifle anyone?) or things like Warwalkers, etc.. I asked a couple of times on those streaming chats they have from time to time but pretty much got ignored.

This. They have indeed ignored truly updating AE less a nerf here and there. I don't see any reason to give the decision to abandon AE a pass, it was in fact a terrible decision. |

It has nothing to do with them personally, just in case someone wants to try to twist it.

So yesterday afternoon I was working on some updates for a story arc of mine in AE. I ended up purchasing the Carnival of Light mace for 80 paragon points ($1) with intentions of using it for one of my npcs to represent the ultimate 'artifact' that the player is attempting to recover. My goal was to have the npc wield it through use of an emote in AE. Unfortunately, I discovered that this particular model was never set up to display using the emotes available in AE.
I've reported this in-game but it is likely so far down the priority list that it could very likely never get -fixed-. It's these kinds of snags that cause me to lose interest in AE and shelve it for periods of 6 to 8 months.
Not very happy right now...
