Depends, did many Bothans die in the process?

Exactly. MA will still be there when Double XP is over, it's just a shame that the MA Contest is during the same time so it won't be effective trying to use it to advertise your arcs during this period. Most people are going to go for the double XP content instead.

It'd have worked better if the contest submissions had finished before Double XP weekend, that double XP worked for MA arcs, and that they then posted a list of all the submissions for people to check out themselves.

I remember during issue 14 when I made some new characters and could rely on a 3 or 4 mission AE arc to give me enough tickets to buy a rare salvage piece, which I would then sell on the market and use to finance my DOs.

Now I can go through 5 missions and not even have 400 tickets.

Long enough that I can fire off a Neutrino Bolt once the Glowy-Beachball-of-Doom is underway and they'll both hit the target at the same time.

Yep, I tried once to set up a Civic Squad like encounter where the number of bosses would scale based on the team size, so the detail called for an All-Boss group. Problem was that it would never spawn all 8 individual bosses, instead often you'd get duplicates of a couple of them and some would not show up. Had to scrap the idea.

Trollop = Female Troll, preferably of the sexy kind.

Vikki Vandale is a level 50 Mace/Willpower Brute on Virtue. She enjoys hitting things with hammers, wrenches, and baseball bats. The more expensive the better. She's about 5'6" and hits like a truck, as can be seen in the 3rd mission of AE arc #3326 "The Portal Bandits".

Didn't want you to waste a guess.

You are aware that the really fancy and colorful Peacocks are male, right?

The search system is still set up in an ***-backwards fashion even after the improvements of issue 15. Let's start with that useless "Arcs My Level" option that is hidden away and how it doesn't filter out all the arcs made by people too lazy to not set their arcs to be 1 to 54. It should be allowing you to set a level range and be right there in plain view when you start searching like it is for the Market interface.

That will be useful when it stop giving me the same arc 4 times in a row, then a different arc, then that first arc 2 more times, then a few arcs, then the first arc 3 more times, etc...

Exactly, it's like baking a great cake and then not having anyone eat it. Most creators take joy in sharing their work and watching others enjoy it.

If they don't know that the arc exists then they cannot search for it. Since not most players don't read the forums or monitor the Architect channels, search is the only way for most people to find arcs. As it stands, the interface is so poorly designed in the first place that most don't bother or are not even aware of the addition functions.




At the very least the front page should be a randomized list of 5-star and 4-star arcs with more than X number of ratings (for random example, 20). Dev Choice and Hall of Fame should come after, or better yet be on a separate tab. If it would cause too much overhead to randomize the first page every time someone opens search, maybe just compile the list every day instead and make it the spotlight secton.

What do you think she keeps all those Freak Choppers and Gunners around for?

Theoretically, she's a pushover in reality just like Nictus Requiem.

Now the original Dark/Dark Scrapper 5th Column Requiem who shows up in the ITF and Mender Lazarus TF, he's a beast.

Well that's not surprising, we already knew that Statesman is a dick.

Then send in the Brutes instead. Never send a hero to do a villain's job.
