Wait, they can run? I thought all Sniper-rank enemies were totally immobile.

This, though on my ST-specialist scrappers. I like crane-kicking them off of buildings.

Using Hurricane and similar powers to move giant piles of leaves or trash around, then dumping them on spawns.

Crossing zones without touching the ground with Ninja Run. (And on a larger scale, crossing up the skyscraper-populated area of Steel Canyon with Super Jump while doing the same.)

Using Personal Force Field to /e newspaper in the middle of groups of +2s.

Knocking the hanging fish by Mikey the Ear to the ground and then kicking them back into the water, their natural habitat.

Using Shield Charge to teleport to weird places for a shield charge. (I SHALL CHARGE TO THE TOP OF THIS LIGHT POLE.)

Gift-wrapping spawns for street-sweeping lowbies with huge piles of debuffs and mezzes that don't do damage.

You know that Ballista in St. Martial? His butt is mine.

Flying to the invisible ceiling in outdoor zones, then letting myself fall all the way to the ground, to crash with 1 HP in the middle of a group of lowbies.

Standing on top of the submarine in Port Oakes with binoculars or another appropriate nautical emote.

Insinuating myself into grey-conning spawns and joining in their emotes, then doing /e grief is somebody kills them.

whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

Hah, that's awesome.

I'm in agreement with most of the other responders. This probably wouldn't be that horribly difficult, but it'd be boring as hell.

... now I cannot unhear that.

Nothing villains have to face in the high teens really uses knockback enough for it to be more than a minor annoyance for me. I think the only time I recall really noticing it is against Spetsnaz, since their lieutenants and bosses both like to toss knockback grenades, and I usually avoid Dmitri anyway.

But you also have to factor in the downsides of AE, like the time spent searching for a good arc--for me, this is usually at least comparable to the travel time I'd otherwise have. And the fact that poorly-designed custom enemies can take a lot longer and cause a lot more debt than most developer enemies. Not to mention that I got unlucky the other night and ended up with about five practically reward-free AE missions in a row. 'Lots and lots of glowies with almost no enemies' isn't a good mission design.

I dunno, I usually find mezz resist skippable villain-side until the 20s. Most of the mezz-happy groups heroes have to face are easily avoided by villains, and anything else in that level range either throws them so uncommonly enough that just carrying a Break Free into missions against them usually proves to be enough.

The laser moonbase one was by Twoflower, I believe. By Ascendant, you're probably thinking of his Saul taskforce arc. Both good examples of actually funny arcs, though both also a bit too over-the-top for my tastes on any relatively serious character.

On this one, at least, I've found that it helps to limit your search to only arcs in the completed category (I can't remember exactly what it's called, and I can't access the game at the moment, but it's the ones explicitly flagged as being ready for play.) That category isn't the default when you publish an arc, so I find that there's a relatively high percentage of actual arcs in there as opposed to farms and test junk.

There's an overabundance of arcs intended to be funny, yeah. Most of them don't have any thought put into them beyond making a single 'funny' custom enemy (lol it's monkeys with guns u guyz) and then making you fight thousands of them. Another chunk are legitimately a bit funny and have actual plots, but clash rather horribly with the game's own themes and such, and then there are a handful that are both funny and appropriate for the game.
