good written storyline. One that I would be interested in doing next time I roll a hero.

Like others, I too am very pleased with the Dark Astoria arcs. Really astounding work from the writers, the artists, everyone involved.

Looking back, in my opinion there's a clear line when the game's mission quality improved significantly: Issue 17. That pre-GR issue included those great clone arcs, our first real glimpse at the more complex and interesting missions we'd get with I18/Going Rogue and beyond.

How can you possibly take my forum persona seriously about the content question? LOL c'mon man you are smarter than that.

The development team and this community deserved better than this from NC Soft. Best wishes on your search.

In no particular order:

  • "World Wide Red" -- the gameplay is weak and it should be split into two arcs, but great story
  • "Melvin and the Mysterious Malta Group" -- likewise
  • "Oh, Wretched Man!" -- an emotional story that doesn't overplay its hand
  • "The Hammer of the World" -- another good emotional story with lots of ties to the canon
  • "Ubelmann the Unknown" -- original 5th Column version only. Demerits for time travel but the original souvenir made up for it.
  • "Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge" -- the villainy may be low-key but it's pure evil
  • "Iron Widow" -- not as powerful as, say, "Oh, Wretched Man!" but it's up there
  • "Revenant Hero Project" -- this time it's personal
  • "The Evil Countess Crey" -- good story about good intentions and the road paved with them, and you get the goods on one of the game's Big Bads. Or would if not for a supposedly canon statement that she somehow beats the rap.


I'm sure there are more, that's just off the top of my head.

You heard it here first, forumites: Venture actually like something in this game.

(Of course I tease, but you do appear to have little to no love for the game lately...)

Open Archetype Suggestion thread!, Kirsten's Epic Weapon Pools, Feudal Japan, Etc., Alignment specific Rularuu iTrials!
If Masterminds didn't suck, they'd be the most powerful AT in the game.

While it's not for everyone, I enjoy the Abandoned Sewer Trial as a different challenge from the norm. I also happen to be that one oddball that likes the infamous 30 Fir Bolg mission though I wish it was structured slightly different.

I wouldn't mind it if it didn't take almost an hour to complete.

Although I guess that's nothing compared to the mole machine destroying mission at the end of one of the Black Scorpion arcs. Each machine takes like half an hour.
