theme based ae mission storylines

[Garrickwest]

Hey everyone,

So i'd like to try some AE missions that have a storyline to follow.

Any suggestions?
Any that are maybe catered towards fans of marvel or dc  i'd surely like to try!

After farming AE pretty regularly i wanna try mixing it up and actually reading the quotes and tips and such.

Well I'm going to buff my ego and suggest mine! It starts with the current (September 12 2020) Dev Choice option of Dark Deeds in Galaxy City: Part One (Arc id 26756)  so full XP and drops on that for the month, and carries on through Part Two, (26952) and Part Three (27233).  There's a natural break there but if you want to continue with the fallout from that and the people you met in it then on you go to Darker Deeds: Parts One to Three (Arc ids 28374, 28526 and 29252) and then culminating in "Season 3", Darkest Before Dawn: Parts One to Three (Arc ids 29891, 30210 and 30560). Now that might seem like a lot but you're only doing them in arcs of 5 so that breaks it up.

 

If you're not looking at mine then I recommend cranebump (Try the Ordinary People arc and work from there, Arc ids 31902, 21902 and 25396), and ankylosaur's work (Robolution Arc id 25870 is the other (September 12 2020) Dev Choice for the month) as having storylines well worth following.

 

There are many others too.  Try looking for SFMA as a search option and this should throw up story based missions. (But these two are definite go tos for great story!)

 

Happy hunting.

Since Darmian mentioned them, a bit of expansion on my metastory: If you go through Ordinary People 1-3, the next iteration would be Friends & Lovers, Data Games, and The Omnibus Project. This introduces The Mobius Strip stories, beginning with Full Circle, then moving on to Much Madness. 

 

(Or just see my sit, below):-)

 

FYI: I’ve played all the way through Darmian’s arcs. Excellently crafted, clean, precise and fun. You’ll enjoy them. 

 

Happy trails!

Great to hear it and thanks for wanting to explore!
 

All of mine are story based and self-contained. Most are even tied to the lore - exploring a thread or hook that’s already there. A couple: Rularularian and Robolution were/are even devs choice on Homecoming. Save the diver, Save the world, and The Serpent Beyond The Horizon won player contests back on live and there are lots of others to explore there too, and I think The Hammiggedon arc won one here when scrapbot was still evaluating arcs here. The others are newer than that.

 

If you do explore them - hope you enjoy them and if you run into any quirks or typos please let me know!
 

All feedback is appreciated.

At some point I'm tempted to post an AMA (spoiler tagged obviously) for the entire 45 episodes/missions.

Darker Deeds: Part Two. (Arc id 28536) Following the events of Part One, a new contact approaches you for help, one that is not immediately trustworthy but needs must when friends' lives depend upon it.

 

Darker Deeds: Part Three. (Arc id 29252) Pursuing a slim lead brings you again to the Rogue Isles, and into the depths of modern day Arachnos' machinations.  And a terrible plan that even they fear. 

---
