I reviewed this arc myself, and I ran into the exact same glitch.

So what happens when you're defeated halfway through a taskforce? "Sorry guys, I need to log off and reroll."

Here's a thought... would it be possible to create a version of GF for Masterminds which only affects pets?

Hey everyone... sorry I haven't been on much lately. Nice to see the people still around.

I knew her vaguely myself. I sort of remember the drama over All Out War. EDIT: After reading through the forum link above, I now remember that I had also had some... disagreements with Felicia. Still sad to hear about this.

Given that it mentions bases with workshops and defensive turrets, I'm guessing you used the City of Villains manual?

Worth mentioning that all the AVs scaled properly to EBs, which doesn't always happen.

This is an interesting one: Ms. Liberty invites you to use the AE system to re-live the adventures that led to you becoming a hero, which starts in the sewers and soon leads to you murdering prisoners while having a threesome with Fusionette and Echidna, or something like that. This is an intriguing plot, but sadly the ending is a letdown. No spelling errors, no kill-alls or other time wasters. The writing is a bit sparse, but still well done with several funny touches.

Pretty good for a first arc. The writing is well done with only a few small spelling errors, there's clues and an NPC ally with a bio and a lot of dialog. As I'm sure we all know by now I'm not too fond of the 'defeat all enemies' objective, but it fits in with the plot and the map isn't huge. The story is very basic; the contact says the the PD frowns on hiring heroes, when in practice they do it all the time. Overall a good first effort.

I ran though it today, and it was... okay. Not bad, not amazing, just okay. Bullet point thoughts: Mildly annoying that 50s have to do it though Ouro. The 'Too high level' dialog doesn't actually tell you that you're too high level. Writing was consistently great, both in dialog and descriptions. I ran it with a top-tier Sentinel (no Incarnate powers cuz 49) and the challenge level of the bosses was about right, I had to eat an insp once in a while. The defeat all was unnecessary. The troll hunt is an amazingly dumb idea. Boomtown is level 12-19, but the minimum level for this TF is 41, making it a yawner for everyone. Also pummeling drug-addled goons for information is never a good idea, unless you're looking for drugs yourself. Using the AE as a contact is a cool idea, I wonder if there are consequences for saying the wrong thing to that dude. Loved the new tile set. I'm actually glad they didn't use the cliche of "Oh no the holodeck is malfunctioning and the safety interlocks are down, I can pull you out in three minutes!!" *Two* noncombat missions was a bit much. Loved all the extra details in the last one. Ending was limp, no closure. Anyway if this was a user-submitted AE I'd be rating it three kicks out of five or something like that.

Let's put it this way. Why do people play an AE? Not to punch random mobs: if that's what I wanted I'd just grab a radio mission or fly down to smack a few street Nazis. If I'm playing an AE it's for one of two reasons: it's a farm, or it tells a story. There are a few niche uses, like a blank stage for an RP SG to yiff in, but mostly people want to either grab easy XP or hear a cool story. If the purpose of the arc is not farming, then the only thing that really matters is the text. If you create a custom NPC group (with no bios) and plop them into a map, you've done about 5% of the work, 10% tops. Asking people to take a look at it, even if you're stating it's a 'work in progress', is like digging the foundation of a house and laying a few beams, and then asking people to evaluate your house 'in progress'. It's not a house, it's a hole in the ground with a few empty Coke cans in the corner. Actually one is half full cuz the contractors peed in it. Assuming your arc is not a farm or yiffing pit, at the very least fill out the contact dialog and clues before asking people to evaluate it.

Haven't tried it yet, I will sooner or later.

The first mission had one sentence of intro dialog, no clues, no chatter, spelling errors, custom minions with no bios. The second mission didn't even have contact dialog. The third crammed four tough EBs into one room, making it impossible. I realize that this is your first effort, but please, don't ask people to play arcs that aren't even half done.

Nice quick arc, wherein the Sky Raiders take some evil magical stuff, and the hero takes it back, Well written but not a lot of text. There's a few itty-bitty spelling errors, and mission 2 would have been better without the defeat all requirement. As far as first efforts go it's not bad at all.
