TerroirNoir Posted December 6, 2021 Author Posted December 6, 2021 It's December! And in the middle of all the cool stuff we just got, from the Aeon SF to innertubes, it's soon time for a Dev Choice update. I'll edit the top post to include it. 1 1 Great to be back in CoX!

cranebump Posted December 6, 2021 Posted December 6, 2021 Grats to this month's winners! 2 I have done a TON of AE work, both long form and single arc. Just search the AE mish list for my sig @cranebump. For more information on my stories, head to the AE forum sub-heading and look for “Crane’s World.” Support your AE authors! We ARE the new content.

Clave Dark 5 Posted December 21, 2021 Posted December 21, 2021 Say, did they announce a winner from the Christmas-themed one and I missed it somewhere? 1 Tim "Black Scorpion" Sweeney: Matt (Posi) used to say that players would find the shortest path to the rewards even if it was a completely terrible play experience that would push them away from the game... ╔═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ Clave's Sure-Fire Secrets to Enjoying City Of Heroes Ignore those farming chores, skip your market homework, play any power sets that you want, and ignore anyone who says otherwise.

I don't think so @Clave Dark 5. I'll be adding it ASAP when they do, or when I get back from holiday break anyway! 1 1 Great to be back in CoX!
TerroirNoir Posted January 1, 2022 Author Posted January 1, 2022 Updated and a happy new year to all. 2 Great to be back in CoX!
TerroirNoir Posted January 9, 2022 Author Posted January 9, 2022 Updated for January 2021. Get into the AE and try them all, folks! 1 Great to be back in CoX!
TerroirNoir Posted February 4, 2022 Author Posted February 4, 2022 February winners added to the list! Peruse them all and have fun, I know I did! 1 Great to be back in CoX!
TerroirNoir Posted March 2, 2022 Author Posted March 2, 2022 Updated to add the March 2022 winners. Check them out, and as always check the rest of the list for previous winners to sample all the fun. Congrats as usual! 1 Great to be back in CoX!
TerroirNoir Posted March 24, 2022 Author Posted March 24, 2022 Keep checking out the full list for great stories and remember each current month's Dev Choices grants full XP. 1 Great to be back in CoX!
TerroirNoir Posted April 30, 2022 Author Posted April 30, 2022 (edited) Ok folks, the GMs are working the little socks off at building a new metric for these, in the meantime rather than the usual three (ONLY THREE!) we get per month, it seems all of the above mentioned Dev Choices (not the seasonal and 'grandfathered' ones I'm afraid) give full XP and so on. So get in there and try them out. The first 32 listed Arcs in the AE are currently ALL Dev Choices again...or you can just go through the list above and see what you like! There's some talented people on that list. Give them some appreciation. Edited April 30, 2022 by TerroirNoir 2 2 Great to be back in CoX!
Techwright Posted May 5, 2022 Posted May 5, 2022 Haven't done AE in seemingly forever, but with a lot of 50's I'm now interested, so I'm happy to see such a compilation. Thanks @TerroirNoir! One question: is this a good list for solo play? 1

Thanks @TerroirNoir! One question: is this a good list for solo play? Having played a lot of these (and scripted a few), I'd say most SFMA's are solo-friendly. Of course, AT selection can shift the equation one way or another on the "friendly" scale.:-) 2 I have done a TON of AE work, both long form and single arc.

Thanks @TerroirNoir! One question: is this a good list for solo play? Ah, @cranebump beat me to it. Exactly what they said. And their stuff is top notch for story by the way. Overall? Most of them are solo-able. It does depend on AT. A few have giant monsters in them, but those are (as far as I remember anyway) optional. AE giant monsters don't drop Reward Merits though. They did at one point but that was removed to stop exploits. They vary from individual, quirky stories of heroes and villains and praetorians, to what-ifs to tightly woven canon based stories that could easily just belong to the main game, to just out there oddness. They're not all going to be to your individual taste, but then what is? Anyway. Enjoy! Edited May 7, 2022 by TerroirNoir 3 Great to be back in CoX!

Ok, this may be a bit cheeky of me, but @GM Sparky and the gang, is is possible for these 32 to be rotated up and down the list, rather than players just doing what they always do and play the very first one and ignore the rest? That's not saying the first one is bad or anything, I would ask this no matter what one was on top. 1 Great to be back in CoX!
TerroirNoir Posted August 20, 2022 Author Posted August 20, 2022 With all the debate/discussion/whatever raging back and forth across several threads on the forums about various things in the AE, I'll just pop this to the top for a moment and say: Try out these Dev Choices! There's some good stuff in there. 1 1 2 Great to be back in CoX!
TerroirNoir Posted October 2, 2022 Author Posted October 2, 2022 Just a bump post! Try out the Dev Choices on this list! And then get over to the thread linked below, read the nomination rules and nominate an AE that you think is worth getting a Dev Choice! They've been on a little break for a bit but don't let that deter you! Happy gaming! 🙂 1 Great to be back in CoX!

Zhym Posted December 4, 2022 Posted December 4, 2022 Why isn't this stickied? Do the mods hate story-mode AE? It's the only reason I can see for this not to be stickied. :) 1 2
Jiro Ito Posted December 5, 2022 Posted December 5, 2022 @TerroirNoir and @Zhym's continued support of the AE stories is so awesome to see, and much appreciated. 2 Play my AE Adventures, listed under @Jiro Ito, including award winners: "The Headless Huntsman of Salamanca" #43870 **Scrapbot AE Contest Winner May 2022** "On the Claw-Tipped Wings of Betrayal" #43524 **November 2021 Dev's Choice** "The Defenders of Talos" #44578 **Mission Architect Competition Winner for October 2021: REBIRTH**
