The Getaways: The Vegas Wake Up Call

Arc ID: 50509

 The Insiders are the henchman and henchwomen of the Getaways villain group. They have decided to plan a casino heist taking a play from the playbook of the Getaways' mastermind and backer the Accomplice, The Vegas Wake Up Call.  In the process of running a heist they uncover a front that threatens St. Martial.

 

Phase One: The Distraction

The Casino Quartet have taken residence in the Marchand Offices and manage/oversee a franchise of small casinos in the Jackpot neighborhood of St. Martial.  The Accomplice calls in a favor and places a criminal fixer on retainer.  Join the Inside Man and Wormy (the Family) as they plant evidence (corpses/Wormy's Laundry) throughout the Marchand Office Building before the Accomplice tips off authorities to create the distraction that will keep the casino owners and authorities occupied during the string of casino heists.

 

Phase Two: The Casino Heists

With the most of the Casino Quartet in custody and longbow raiding and investigating the Marchand Offices the heist is underway.  Join the Insiders and hit the 4 casino vaults for the payday.  Discover the secrets the Quartet was hiding that allowed them to rise to fame in the Jackpot neighborhood of St. Martial and put an end to their operations.

 

Notes:

The first map is larger than I would like and despite it not functioning as I intended the location in St. Martial serves the story line.  My hopes are that the short maps in the heists of Phase 2 will forgive the use of the larger map in Phase 1.

Looking forward to having you play through these missions!  While made for/by my villain group the Getaways, the missions are supposed to make everyone feel like a Getaway.  These are my first attempts to create content in the AE, so I look forward to your feedback and hope you enjoy them!

Phase One: The Guest list

Atlas Park is distracted with event preparations.  Join the Getaway's fixer the Alibis as she helps you infiltrate City Hall and place your alias on the guest list to the Atlas Park Charity Costume Contest.

 

Phase Two: Flea Market Formal Wear

Now that your invited to the party it's time to find something to wear and some wheels to get you to the event.  Time for a smash and grab at Flea's Market Thrift Shop.  Flea claims his prices are so low it should be criminal.  Time to show him what criminal looks like.

 

Phase Three: Crashing the Party

Attend the Costume Contest and mingle your way through the crowd.  Find the grifter know as Hard To Get a.k.a. Simone Dolion and place explosives around the event.

 

Phase Four:  And the winner of this costume contest prize money is....The Getaways?

Proceeds from the Charity Costume Contest are being kept in the vault at the Atlas Park Bank on the East side of the plaza. With the assistance of Hard To Get raid the bank and collect the funds gathered for the Charity Costume Contest.

 

Phase Five: Heading For The Exit

With the explosives damaging Atlas Park beyond recognition and drawing the attention of the FBSA.  Longbow has set up a perimeter around what is left of Atlas Park.  Destroy Longbow perimeter force field generators, rescue the grifter, and escape in the Getaways Flyer.

 

Notes:

The costume contest heist is more of a SFMA set of AE missions so not much action with this story line as the first and third missions are more of a setup the scenario missions with objectives rather than combat. Mission 2 keeps spawning objectives in flip flopped locations during testing (close enough) and I wish mission 3 had capacity for more NPC's (good enough).

The Getaways: Magnum Opus

Arc ID: 54014

 

In the aftermath of the Aeon Strike Force, the Getaways plan a heist to find and rob King Midas's Secret Vault.  To take on the Gold Brickers under the new management of the Midas Touch and claim the treasures of Midas, the plan will call for a little alchemy.

 

Part One: Nigrendo

Black out the AU System. Take out Fools Gold (a.k.a. Lityerses)

 

Part Two: Albedo

Destroy Smelting Arms Technology and the new Queen of the Cauldron Gold Fever (a.k.a. Aurelia)

 

Part Three: Citrinitas

Disable Gold Bricker Jetpacks and face off against Gold Digger (a.k.a. Marigold)

 

Part Four: Rubedo

Defeat the vault guard Gold Rush (a.k.a. Ankhyros) and claim the treasure of King Midas

 

Part Five: Philosopher's Stone

Claiming King Midas's treasure takes an unforseen circumstance

 

Notes:

I wanted the Getaways to square off against the Gold Brickers.  I had some ideas for some cool Gold Bricker characters that I wanted to incorporate and they kind of took on roles of actual mythological characters which evolved into the bastard children of Midas known as the Golden Touch.  A few wiki searches of King Midas lead to expanded searches of alchemy and the philosopher's stone which I wanted to carry into the story as the heist's plan.  The ending kind of stumped me for this mission as I didn't want the treasure in the vault to be what it is because it didn't fit the game's lore.  I hope I was able to spin the treasure in a way that it could, but without actually, fit into game lore.

The Getaways: The Boiler Room Mission

Arc ID: 54044

 

 Poor Man's Grenade of the Getaways has lost the team's recent score trying to double the take through a series of bad investments in a Boiler Room Scandal. Getaway Inside hackers have traced the money to a shipping yard. Recover the funds and teach these Boiler Room punks a lesson.

 

Go farm Boiler Room members, destroy the call centers, and get PMG his money!

Notes:

Poor Man’s Grenade was always kind of a joke character. I mean a powerhouse that can burst into flames fueled by the alcohol he consumes. So he is essentially a compulsive gambler with a drinking problem serving as the Getaways’ comic relief at times.

 

Jury is still out but I have considered making the boiler room mission a scheme story line putting players up against a pyramid scheme using ancient Egyptian themed  characters as the target of PMG’s revenge.

The Getaways: Friend or Faux

Arc ID: 54553

Beads:

To challenge False for leadership of the Krewe you will need a guild blade the signature weapon of the Krewe to present the challenge.  An old friend of Counterfeit, a criminal fence known as Beads just happens to have a set of guild blades in her posession. 

 

False:

The Final showdown against False.

 

Notes:

Friend or Faux marks the 10th AE mission created for the Getaways series!

 

Mission has been published and is playable.  Still labeled a work in progress as text dialogues for a few characters may need to be updated or added and only made one test run before the publish.

 

Counterfeit was a villain I created in the later days of the live server and never got the chance to play past level 20 before the shutdown.  Now he is one of my signature villains and the inspiration that created the Getaways villain group.  I wanted to create a mission that explored a little of the character's past.  In the Friend or Faux story, the character False sports Counterfeit's original look from the live server before customizing phantom army existed.

 

 

The promotion pic for Friend or Faux was taken in the Getaway's AE Mission vault section of the group's base. This level of the base houses a Simulator Arena with bays displaying promotions of published Getaways AE Missions and one or two in the works.
