Whenever you can get around to it. I'll try to give at least one of yours a run sometime this week.

Arc Name: BE Prologue: Gangs United
Arc ID: 250480
Author: @Ozzie Arcane
Morality: Heroic
Length: 4 Missions
Level Range: 10-20
Enemy Groups: Hellions, Trolls, Vahzilok, Custom
Description: An evil organization plots to bring several gangs together under their banner. Introduces a villain group I intend to use in future story arcs.

Should be able to solo or duo it with most ATs. I soloed it with my level 15 Trick Arrow Defender and went through it with a scrapper, defender, controller trio around level 19. If you do encounter any absurd difficulty problems let me know as I'd like to rectify them.

i'm leaning towards having lvl 10 be the minimum lvl the ae becomes available and allowable to use.

No thanks. I've been using the AE for levels 5-10 because you don't get any story arcs prior to level 10.

Not only that this level lockdown idea doesn't work because it would make some people's creations pointless. I've seen some decent player written tutorials. Also there are a few enemy groups that don't go very far past level 10.

I wouldn't threaten kittens if I were you. You might suddenly here "SPOOOOOOOONNNN!" as a big blue guy comes crashing through your wall.

Arc Name: Web of Deception
Arc ID: 75310
Faction: Villainous
Author: @Ozzie Arcane
Level: 40+
Length: 5 Missions
Enemy Groups: CoT, PPD, Crey, Nemesis, Longbow, Custom
Synopsis: Aid President Evil in carrying out his latest scheme. To open a gateway to an alternate dimension.
Updates: I removed the 2nd mission, it wasn't important story wise really and I added a new final mission to help with the errand boy feel that everyone hates so much.

Arc Name: Agent Thunder Task Force: The Cracked Mirror
Arc ID: 159922
Faction: Heroic
Author: @Ozzie Arcane
Level: 45+
Length: 5 Missions
Enemy Groups: Freakshow, Wrongbow(Custom Longbow), Custom Standard enemies
Synopsis: Villains from an alternate earth are attacking Paragon. Do you have what it takes to stop Wrongbow and the Domination Phalanx?
Updates: Wrongbow has a decrease in custom mobs since I could alter regular Longbow now, however a few were kept for flavor. Also AVs now show up for the story faction they are in rather then Praetorians or Freedom Phalanx. Plus many of them have had color changes.

I remember a mere week after MA got added stumbling across a mission where the main villain was a villain named McArchvillain. It was Ronald McDonald.

Making the low level missions less crappy would help, too.

Personally I quite enjoy them.

[/ QUOTE ]

As do I.

Except on Villain side; I hate Kalinda's arcs. That's one bonus to the AE: I can make villain content that I like better and bypass Kalinda/Burke (although Burke mixes some good stuff in too).

[/ QUOTE ]

I feel the opposite. Hero side the conctacts prior to Steel Canyon (or hollows if you go that route instead of Kings Row) feel like a waste of time. They don't even have anything resembling a story, it's just random crap that was slapped on the contact for whatever reason.

Also too many street hunts.

Pretty sure he was available during testing though since I remember seeing of screen with him in the costume color editor.

But I doubt we'll see it anytime soon. He's not even an AV, he counts as his own type of enemy.

One of the options under Mission Parameters is level range.

Unless I'm in Atlas Park, the tells I get rarely involve the MA. Yesterday I helped some people put down Adamaster and the last 2 tells I received before that were for TFs (Unfortunately didn't have the time for them).

It's not possible. You can only use them as boss objectives and since they don't give XP, believe me if you could put them in custom groups people would 1 star you into oblivion.

In all honesty there are really some new objectives we need the option of. We need Duo Boss, Boss Ambush, and Boss with Captive/Escort.

These are all fairly normal things from dev content that we can't use.

However, you can use MM pets as bosses if that's any minor consolation.

Yeah but unless they changed it, they don't give exp. Infact, last time I fought her, Fusionette doesn't give exp.

So this is an assumption on the fact that NCSoft might own the name "World of Heroes?". Well, Activision owns the names Band Hero, Drum Hero, and DJ Hero. Only one of which is getting used. The other two are more or less to keep people from making similar games that would try to use their name recognition.

I still think it would be nice to have at least a duo boss option. For those times you want two bosses having a conversation as you approach them.

[ QUOTE ]
The answer is no, and why do you consider it a must? There is only one encounter in Dev-created content with multiple AVs in one spawn, and it is considered poor design by the majority of the playerbase.

[/ QUOTE ]

True but the same feature that would allow multiple AVs would also allow multiple bosses which is something that happens fairly often enough.

Maybe you're on a slow server? It might also help to try and find a good SG on your server. That way it's not just you, your friend, and whatever PUG you can find.

You can never find it because it's a hoax. The Freedom Phalanx HQ is clearly hidden within the secret confines of the globe on the Atlas Statue.

An ex-Boxer possessed with a corrupted version of Mjöllnir that allows him to use lightning and smite enemies with the hammer itself... WarMace/ElectricAssault AV...

I think I like this idea. He could fit into the arc with the War God pretty well.

I probably wouldn't make a very good hero either. The minute I step out of Outbreak I'd probably hit on Ms. Liberty, causing her to deliver a super strength kick to the crotch. Putting me in the hospital for the first few weeks of my hero career.

I've made a villain group, who have 10 top members that will be fought over a series of story arcs. But I can't think up ideas for the last 2 members of the 10. I'm just asking for a basic character idea and I'd go from there. So far I have

Head of an evil corporation who has magical powers
A brute who has gained the power of the war god Ares
A ninja mercenary
An evil samurai
A evil scientist with ice powers
Cliche big brain evil mastermind guy
The Evil Seductress
An evil doctor who performs inhuman experiments

You're out of luck on bunkers, but as for the starting point. You could make the story be that they parachuted in and landed behind enemy lines.

I ran Portal Bandits.

The Nagans were really interesting. They kinda looked like the love child of a race of lizard people and members of the knives of artemis. I particularly liked them in Mission 3 since we got to see that unlike the Rikti, they have some personality rather then being blindly obediant cannon fodder. Also their outlook on Portal Corp, is fairly interesting and something that had never crossed my mind before.

Anna and Vicki were probably two of the coolest looking custom characters I've encountered in the MA. I liked Anna's backstory in her info, reminded me in a way of my own character President Evil's backstory. Vicki... is too cute to be called a troll.

This arc being filled with so many females just had the words "Girl Power!" going off in my head. Didn't really help that I ran it with Ultimo Girl.

I 5 starred it because I really enjoyed it. The story had me wondering why they were after the technology till the very end. Kept me on the edge of my seat wanting to know what was going to happen and that doesn't happen very often.

I'd like a Critical Review for my latest Arc. I will attempt to get to one of yours either today or tommorrow.

Note: This is kind of an introduction to a villain group I intend to use in several other story arcs.

I'm having similar problems like this in a mission I just made. Enemies that shouldn't be fighting each other are. Example: A patrol of hellions that is supposed to be working alongside my custom group is attacking the custom group if they wander into them.

If you're trying to set them as a boss detail it won't work. It won't let you pick standard enemies from a custom group for a boss detail.

However you can pick the regular version of them and edit them within mission, including changing the faction it lists them as.

Basicly standard AVs are still a waste of custom group space unless you want them to appear as regular enemies on the map.
