    Yeah, it works now. Wasn't working until I exited the Editor and re-entered :S

    Description: President Obanga and the Washington liberals are trying to pass their healthcare bill, but something just doesn't seem right. How can the government run healthcare? Who is going to pay for all this? As a true American, it's your duty to uncover what's REALLY going on!

    Thanks for the ingame feedback I've gotten already everyone. Clearly, my n00b is showing. I've fixed a few of the obvious stuff like reducing some of the map sizes and setting bosses to auto-spawn. I'll work on stuff like character bios as I go.

    One thing that surprised me were the number of people who suggested I avoid political humour or satire. Where is the fun in that?

    Anyhow - again, thanks all. Hopefully my next one will avoif some of these obvious pitfalls.
    As much of a downer it is, Political humour is a touchy subject in this game because of the EULA's. I'll give you some proper feedback on the arc when I get a chance to play it tonight.

    Those weapons you are talking about have been created with a built-in aura.

    To add an aura to something say.. a Legacy Broadsword would be impossible because it would be like adding one of the costume auras (E.G: Fiery Body) over a weapon. Which according to the Devs is impossible because that's adding a costume piece onto a costume piece.

It's a ninja run, and a very exaggerated one. That was the point. It wasn't intended to be anything else. If you can use it for something else, then great. But if you can't, well tough. It does what it was meant to quite well.
    Apologies for misunderstanding you, then.

Which I guess was the point of the pack, seen as how we have the broad-spectrum ninja paraphernalia already freely available in the game.
    Have to agree with the others here about it being a comic book superhero game. It needs to be over-exaggerated.
    I mean, people are complaining that Dual Pistols is over exaggerated, but others are saying it looks friggin' awesome (like me). It's the same situation with Ninja Run.

    They're not the same as they used to be due to the XP Nerf on them, though.

    Only if one of those sets is improved Steampunk part

    MA Temp Powers

    Considering that Developer-made arcs sometimes offer a Temporary Power (such as the Diving Rod) how about the opportunity for us MA Authors to give Temporary Powers for certain missions?

    Since the farming problem has been more-or-less stamped into the ground, Temporary Powers won't due much in the aid of farming arcs.

    Players could select a Temporary Power to issue from the current list of in-game Temporary Powers.
    These would be lost upon finishing/quitting the arc. (Maybe code it so they can't be used outside the AE building?)

    Maybe we could go as far as offering our own custom made Temporary Powers?
    This could be done by having up to Three (3) Selectable effects (Damage, ToHit Debuff, Hold etc) and a certain number of points which could be slotted into different attributes (Damage, Recharge, Hold etc).

    But my original suggestion is just to add already in-game Temp Powers, but custom ones would be good too.

    Sounds lovely, more badges and a handy power!
  17. Can we not link an ally betrayal to a boss defeat?
  18. Just a quick review for my arc:

    Arc ID: 299507
    Arc Title: The Fall of Rapture
    Author: Aristocras
    Morality: Heroic
    Number of Missions: 5
    Description: While walking through Portal Corp. you notice a message that has gone unread on one of the computers. And it's from an alternate dimension. One called Rapture.
  19. So, driving down the road with my girlfriend and there isn't a single good thing on the radio, so we switch over to her favourite radio station for the promise of good music.. That's when we heard the dreaded music. And I thought Rick Rolling only plagued Youtube!

    We're promised good music, but instead get Rick Astley playing.

    This isn't possible, because according to the Devs they can't "put a costume piece onto another costume piece"

    If only my Sig was big enough to fit all your quotes, BaBs..

    On a side note; It probably is sentient enough, knowing the amount of money Blizzard pump into that game.
  22. Sounds fun. I'll try come along

    I will agree you did the right thing and were a LOT nicer about it than I likely would have been.
    Where's the fun in ending it at "I'm here to play, not read"?

    Might as well get some kicks from it lol
  24. Never really teamed with you, but I have seen some of your posts and it's sad to see a fellow player leave, regardless.

    Have a good one and hope to see you soon!
