Suggestion: If the goal is to give influence to new players while encouraging varied teams, what about: Give +10% influence bonus to defeating enemies when on a team with 5 different ATs Give +15% influence bonus to defeating enemies when on a team with 6 different ATs Give +20% influence bonus to defeating enemies when on a team with 7 different ATs Give +25% influence bonus to defeating enemies when on a team with 8 different ATs You would get this extra influence even if you took the double XP buff that turned off influence. Maybe there'd be some protection against some of these players being idle (door sitters/multi-boxers), and maybe the bonus would taper off starting around level 30 so it doesn't flood high level characters with influence. I think you'd want to decouple it from PAPs (new players might not know how to use the auction house and/or might think they need to hoard PAPs "for later" - if you want them to have influence, just give influence) and from TFs/SFs (that way new players doing door missions or radio missions still get the bonus; also helps people who started in Praetoria).

Glad you enjoyed it! Also, by popular demand (well...1 player feedback), I've added a forklift to mission 1. It's not critical to the plot, but I liked the idea. 🙂

I love the idea of having more shoppers from around Paragon City. I went ahead and added more shoppers and salespeople that belonged to various villain factions, including a Hellion looking for a gift for his girlfriend. 🙂 I agree that Mariah Christmas looked too similar to the backup dancers. I tried to fix this by making her noticeably taller than the backup dancers, and also giving her a bright white glowing aura to make her stand out. Thanks very much for the suggestions!

Thanks, fixed that now!

Thanks for the feedback 🙂 I'll edit the OP to explicitly state that destroying Christmas music is a villainous arc. (I know, arguably it could be a net good for the world, but we must live under society's strict interpretation of morality!) Which use of "All I want for Christmas" did you think needed capitalization? Also, that SNIPER SHOT screenshot is amazing.

I played through this on an 18 scrapper (Princess Purple had leveled up a bit since the last AE mission). The story seemed fine, a pretty standard story about breaking up a drug ring. I did run into a game mechanics problem where the final boss of the story arc was spawning as a regular mob throughout missions 2 and 3. There was some unintentional humor when instances of the boss would speak minion dialog about how they were afraid of the big boss. As an 18 scrapper on a 1-14 story arc, I was able to handle the multi-spawns of the end boss, but I think this would've been a problem for a level 2. Princess Purple - Cracking Skulls!

I played through Storming Citadel on a 10 scrapper. I liked the framing story and the way the objectives chained into each other. I liked the one-and-done mission structure, which made it a quick romp. I was nervous about fighting what I think are Storm Elementals (?) at level 10, but Princess Purple was able to handle them and the end boss without any issues, and they definitely gave the mission some nice visuals.

I liked the story, the investigation of the corrupt music executives, and the custom group of roadies and such. The lighting techs were obnoxious but just enough to make me think about taking them out first. Princess Purple versus the recording company exployees I did think the Enraged Supa Trolls and the ambushes of katana wielding Bodyguards made the story arc too hard for a lowbie. I played a level 9 scrapper and routinely got clobbered by those, I had to hospital 4 times and after running back a few times I made sure to eat 2 lucks any time I fought 2 or more Supa Trolls or Bodyguards. Princess Purple getting punched by Enraged Supa Trolls The Supa Trolls were tough because they would all Knockout Blow my character (as seen above); getting KO Blow'd once isn't too bad, but if two trolls are doing them one after another, I'm pretty much toast. The Bodyguards just did a lot of DPS against me, and floored my defense with their attacks. I probably would've been OK if I were higher level, had more attacks and mez protection maybe (the holds from KO Blow really got me). With the level range of the arc being 1-25 I think this would've been even worse for a level 1. You might consider either raising the min level to be around 15, or else making these mobs easier (maybe mixing the Supa Trolls with more normal Trolls?). Anyway it was fun, and I did level to 10 and get some badges. Thanks for the arc!

While patrolling in Kings Row, you see her. Trashy outfit, smeared makeup, unkempt hair, just another Skulls Girlfriend, you think. You're about to pass her by when she starts waving to you. "Please! I need help!" she pleads. "My boyfriend...I think he's in trouble." Arc ID: 1678 Keywords: Solo Friendly, Magic, Romance Originally published for Dr. Aeon's Challenge #2.

Yes, I was highly amused at the arc ID number too :) thanks!

Thanks! I hope you like it. Will have to see about making new story arcs when time permits :)
