Like to try for next Saturday but I don't know if I'll bring Technician Hugo (Arsenal/FF Controller) or Ebony Gyro (Elec/Elec Blaster). I think the former I might be able to better match the theme due to the powerset but I'm not sure.

I'd say that might be part of the problem. I've noticed a brief delay after saving/republishing AE arcs so working on two back to back could cause problems. Even when leaning on autosave (which I rarely do since I inherently don't trust autosave in games with a manual save) I make sure I initially make a manual save so the named files don't overwrite each other. Out of curiosity, when did you download Homecoming? Since launcher has changed, you might somehow have two save locations.

I'd also like to be able to set objectives to be available waypoints on the map. Would certainly make many outdoor maps better.

Asked about available times and the first Mission Architect Sunday Special for Excelsior will be Sunday, March 16 at 1-3 PM in the RWZ. This is an hour earlier than when it's run on other servers in order to avoid disrupting the MSR.

Hey! I don't know how many of you visit the Mission Architect section of the forums but I'm putting a version of the Mission Architect Sunday Special thread here for awareness and any questions people might have. MASS is a story focused AE event that cycles through the various shards. The first for Excelsior will be Sunday, March 16 at 1-3 PM in the RWZ.

Sorry about the name error. Just corrected it.

For today's Mission Architect Sunday Special, we ran: @First of Equals' Allegedly, Your Death (65297). Vigilante justice in a caped crusade! Got some PUG interest despite the competing calls from the seasonal event. Pending on the week, it might be best to plan for one arc if it's running long or the group is running low on time. NEXT TIME... MASS returns to Indomitable to finish the Heart of Words series on March 2. The next one will likely be Excelsior but I need to find out if I'm going to move it forward an hour or only run from 2-3PM.

Hmm. Is there anything at 1PM?

Does Excelsior have anything that regularly runs on Sundays between 2-4PM Eastern? I'm asking since I'm running an event through Mission Architect that's cycling through shards and while the time has been perfect for Indomitable and Torchbearer, I lack that knowledge for other shards.

Had plenty of fun today. Ebony wound up just short of hitting 50.

Reading various comments, the thing that AE really needs the most is negative search--the ability to put in a search term that you don't want to see come up. Let's just say you don't want to see Manticore missions show up but every time you search for a cool new story, you get a wall of missions with Manticore in the title. With a negative search option, you could exclude missions with Manticore in the title from showing up in the search results. Obviously, you could replace "Manticore" with farms or any other keyword you don't want popping up in your search.

Probably. So, cycling servers is something I mostly plan to do but there's quirks to that. I started with Indomitable and it has permanent spot on the first Sunday because I know people will show up. Torchbearer has a number of AE authors so it got the second Sunday. I asked around for what server events happen and that's what determined the 2-4PM Eastern time for these. But every other server is uncharted territory. And even Torchbearer didn't have anyone show up this week--which might have accidentally worked out since my internet was acting up (or at least it was a factor in my not freaking out). A far as the other shards: I actually think Everlasting will be a good fit but it'll be pure PUG and all the difficulties that entails. I have zero clue of the server culture on Victory. Reunion has the issue of time zone differences and maybe even even language barrier. The time might be fine since for people in the UK, it would be 7PM. And then we come to Excelsior. It's the one shard I worry that the server culture might be hostile to what the event is trying to do. The speed run shard vs the slower narrative team. I'd feel terrible if someone's arc got mass down voted because it got run in MASS. From discussions in other AE threads, this probably won't happen...but it's always on my mind as a possibility. Then, all of this is tempered by the fact that I'm the only one running it. If I'm sick or having internet trouble, a shard gets skipped. I'd love help but no one's volunteered.

It's the search engine. Which, I guess means it shouldn't be mentioned in this thread since it requires dev focus as opposed to player effort but a lot of our problems stem from AE's in game search. I hear comments about difficulty finding stories too often for it not to be an issue. As far as actionable work, I'll try to search through the stickied AE suggestion thread and see if there's a suggestion about the search. If not, I'll try to make one that's worded well. EDIT: Done. Jury's out on if it's worded well but I read the 10 pages and didn't see a version of it.

Has to be an Escort, not an Ally. Combat Abilities set to something other than Non Combat. Then, set Betrays on Arrival.

I'll join with Ebony Gyro Elec/Elec Blaster. Do you need to have done the previous Valentines event to do the wedding?
