Arc #40915 (changed since I originally posted this)

 

I've started about 4 arcs but I was trying to be too clever.  It is hard coming up with a story that is not too simple but is doable with the restrictions of AE.  So I have finally "finished" my first arc.

 

Infection from the Isles (I could use a better name)

 

This is a starting arc intended to allow you to start your level 1 characters in AE if you want and to give you different villains than you normally start with blueside.  Arc is levels 1-9 with Infected and Arachnos.

 

It is 5 missions.  2 short, the others medium length.  There is a story and lots of details.  I don't have a lot of clues or pop-ups.

 

I'm looking for general feedback - does it make sense.  Is it too easy or hard?  Are there glaring errors?  Plus what is missing that I should add - clues, extra dialog, etc?

 

Thanks

I just updated it based on Darmian's feedback.  It is now Arc 40915

 

Thanks for the feedback Darmian.  I fixed just about everything you wrote. 

 

I left the allies as minions so you have to protect them if you want their help.  I put them in because I tend to run controllers and having some minions lets me get some use out of my support powers.  I also left in the ambushes - but I will think about upping the minions and/or reducing the ambushes.  I need to get a bit of distance from the arc to judge it again.

 

For the minions, I cannot raise the police up without limiting them to 1-5 or 6-9.  I can raise the Longbow up to Lts and keep them as 1-9. 

 

Is there a way to put the police lts 1-5 and 6-9 in a group and have it select the level appropriate ones?

You can literally make your own police using the Officer standard costume set in the creator and just customize it as you see fit. Dual pistols at a basic level and maybe a level of Willpower as a secondary. You wouldn't need to give them many powers, simply making them a lieutenant makes them tougher. And they become 1-54 scalable.
