ivanhedgehog Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 What do you guys think is the best mission in the game? My favorite is Frostfire in the hollows. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Six-Six Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 singular mission? I'd go with Opertative Wellman's break prisoners out of the Zig. For story arc, Doc Buzzsaw's Freakish Lab of Dr. Vahzilok takes the cake for me. 2 My Toons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spaghetti Betty Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 I'm really simple. My favorite mission is Stop Rikti Assault from Levantera. It uses the huge Cap Au Diable factory map and it's one of my favorite maps to play on. 1 Mainly on Excelsior. Find me in game @Spaghetti Betty.

dtjunkie Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 Gameplay wise - Praetoria's Fury (Attack Striga Isle during Provost Marchand's arc) Emotional wise - Saving her, after first not saving her. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I enjoy the doppelganger stuff more, I'd be absolutely elated if they added another dozen or so missions like this.

cranebump Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 Capstone, Bane Spider Ruben. You lead an army and whoop up on Longbow. 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.

InvaderStych Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 Hmm. Single Mission? Got to be the DA finale - from the "Paragon Assemble!" moment through to the final showdown with Mot. That's basically one long mission. Good stuff. Does well on the "Existential Threat To Everything That Is" vibes. Favorite Arcs? The entire line of Animus Arcana contacts. (Fireball, Trilogy, Ward, etc) 3 You see a mousetrap? I see free cheese and a f$%^ing challenge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It really does breathe new life into repeatable content. Agreed. There's so much untapped potential with Ouroboros. One of my favorite episodes of Quantum Leap was when Sam thinks he's there to save President Kennedy, but really he was there to save Jackie, with Al telling him, "Your swiss-cheesed mind probably doesn't remember this, but the first time, Oswald killed Jackie too." I'd think an arc that ostensibly is about saving the original Faultline but in reality you are actually saving young Jim Temblor would be neat Edited July 31, 2022 by dtjunkie 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZorkNemesis Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 Field Agent Keith Nance. While it's not one single mission, his entire story arc never has you go back to Nance to start the next mission (there is one instance where you check in with him, but it's still part of a mission and not getting a mission) so if you do it all in one sitting you can treat it as one continuous mission. The whole thing has you chasing an evil you through the city (one of the very few instances where a mission exits you to an entirely different zone) and it all feels frantic and somewhat seemless. 1 1 Currently playing on Indomitable as @Zork Nemesis; was a Protector native on live.

Herotu Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 I really love Keith Nance -> Jenny Adair arc(s). Laura Lockheart, I also like the whole Faultline arc. and Roy Cooling. After doing all of those, I'm kinda lost around level 27. What do I do now? Grind? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ironblade Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 Laura Lockhart's arc. The first time you do it, it doesn't have a happy ending. But, if you run it again via Ouroboros, you get to rewrite the ending with the help of the Menders. Plus you get the badge 'Guardian of Forever', which is pretty cool Star Trek reference. I also rather like the mission where you get to throw the bad guy out the window of his office. That was . . . unexpected. I don't remember who the contact is. Originally on Infinity. I have Ironblade on every shard. - My only AE arc: The Origin of Mark IV (ID 48002) Link to the story of Toggle Man, since I keep having to track down my original post.

Psyonico Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 My favorite is probably Max's mission in DA where you have to fight Requiem and the Reichman What this team needs is more Defenders Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonteCarla Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 I've had a lot of fun recently running "One Good Spider" and taking a group of PUG heroes to invade Grandville. It's got a solid story flow without getting gimmicky, and is mainly just a good big fight against one of the harder groups in the game.

Pyriold Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 The 2 last missions from Number 6. Where you get into the bowels of... something. And then in the last mission you get your own statue! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Virtual Green Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 Roy Cooling's entire story arc, but especially the final mission, which is something straight out of Metal Gear Solid (giant robot included). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOtherTed Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 I don't know about "best," but my favorite is the police scanner mission "Rescue Dr. Stephen Fayte." I'm not a complicated man. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shred Monkey Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 I don't know the name of it, but that Vigilante to Villian tip missions where you go into Orenbega and hunt down a demon. No spoilers, but the text of that story when taken in the context of you becoming evil gives me shivers. One Good Spider popped in my mind right away as well.

I really appreciate how well done the additions for the 'redo' are. If you didn't like how Laura Lockhart's arc goes, do yourself a favor and try it again through Oroboroes. Make sure to click on the glowie in the first mission, and follow the instructions. Edited August 1, 2022 by laudwic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
