cranebump Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 (edited) Just watched the twitch stream by MollyMauk & partners. Unfortunately, the party failed the finale, because something ran off. No, do I remember setting it up that way? Nope. But evidently I did, and that sucks. Obviously the arc needs a fix on that (and other things as well), because failing the finale shouldn't happen. This one is ALL on me. The bad news: the danged thing is a Dev's Choice (to be frank a surprising one, as it's just an opening to a longer story). So I can't make any changes to that one without pulling it down (I don't think). That said, I'm so disappointed in that outcome I may do it anyone. An unsatisfying finale just ain't fair. I have removed the failure condition (Boss flees). Lost the DC seal, but that's okay. I'll probably do a few other things with it before I am done. My apologies to those who slogged through that (esp that back and forth in M4), only to get a "fail" message. However, thanks to you, no one else will have to suffer such a bullshit ending. I hope this doesn't put you off the rest of the arc, and my other, more polished stories. (I did get better later on, I think. But you can tell me.).

cranebump Posted March 11 Author Share Posted March 11 (edited) Tweak notes Spoiler TOOK OUT THE FAILURE ELEMENT (sheesh) Culled allies by 1 (and made them optional). Changed placement of objectives, in the hopes of limiting the back and forth. Cleaned up objective Nav text in Finale Change Saracen's Ally text (it was inaccurate, with the rewrite, which folds this arc in with the Mobius arc). Removed the Ordinary People spoiler in Freitag's speech on Blue Steel. Fix typos Now to fix Ordinary People (timers, timers, timers).

cranebump Posted March 11 Author Share Posted March 11 (edited) Okay, it did not keep my changes, so I may need to pull it down and then republish it from there. Working on it. Fixed. I hope.
